TSM doubles how much damage physical attacks do, unlike MASC. So we're talking 40-point hatchet hits and +1 MP as long as you stay above 9 heat. You also ignore that first -1 MP from heat at 5. While the effect seems similar at first, they really serve very different roles.

Above 8 you want to be at 9 exactly. but if you can keep it to the sweet spot you are a melee terror. a 100 ton mech moving at 5/8 and punching for YOU DEAD is scary poo poo. (30 damage a punch 2 punches)

(The other is the Scarabus, which is frightening for rather opposite reasons - it's a headcapper axe that runs at, what, 12/18?)

It's a jerk in a box canyon or a city fight, it just requires a much more specialized set of terrain.

There's the Ti Tsang, too. Cappie mech from TRO:3060, 60-tonner with a hatchet and TSM. In urban terrain it is vicious.

Sword and TSM, and the NDA-2KO variant has roughly eighty bajillion pulse lasers. ...and yet, in my experience none of those are the best TSM mech. Two of the three best, in my mind, are the Ostsol -6D and -8M. Both have TSM, lots of energy weapons, two hands, and are exactly the right weight to perform instant-headcap punches. The -6D also has a targeting computer with 2 ER Larges among other weapons, which means you can snipe at range until you have an opening to go in for the TSM beats. The -8M is a rare 6/9 heavy (7/11 with TSM active!) and so is also an excellent light/medium hunter. You just TSM up, run up along side and kick legs. The best - and I've used pretty much all the TSM mechs we've mentioned a lot...OTLs, NDAs, BRZs, TSGs...but for my money the best is the Excalibur EXC-CS. It's a weird variant, but it works. It has an ERPPC, 4 ERML, an ERSL, all TComped. And, an LRM-20 with Artemis. What's great about it is that it's a TSM mech that can do plenty of damage before you reach close range. And in fact, it's a TSM mech that isn't obligated to close at all. You can keep a normal heat curve and be an excellent mobile fire support platform until an opening pops up, and then run in for 28-point kicks. It might not quite have the close-in damage potential of the OTL, NDA or BRZ, but it is always going to be useful no matter what the board looks like and no matter what your opponent has. And your opponent is never guaranteed to know what you're going to do with it. That's the mark of a truly good mech - you should be able to take it anytime, anywhere, and not be worried that it's the wrong choice. And it should never be predictable as to what you're going to do with it. I have never, ever, ever said "I wish I didn't have this Excalibur-CS". It will probably never happen either.

I'm a big fan of the Rabid Coyote, but that's probably because of Mech 4 and me being totally in love with LB-X and SRM combinations. Which is not the stock variant in any way, but a really mean medium infighter.

I had a dream that Joshuas assault-mech had MASC and that he killed all of you in this round. Either way, my favorite mechs are probably the Catapult and the Awesome for IS lvl 1. And Couldron-Born for clans.

My brother and I stopped playing Battletech just after the 3055 Technical Readout era (Did any of the IIC mechs make any drat sense whatsoever?) but we started with 3025. Anyway, my last memory of tabletop Btech was dueling him with, what I thought was the most awesomest mech ever, the Goshawk/Vapor Eagle, in a grand melee at a local Con. That jagoff decapitated me with a clan ER PPC headshot but I coulda had him if not for that one lucky roll. I just love the strategy of jumping everywhere, being impossible to hit, punching a few holes and then critical seeking with my short range weapons. It's been years but I'm going to ask him if and how he remembers that fight. I'm pretty sure I got behind him and started hitting his rear torso armor and he flipped an arm around for that killshot but I could be confabulating. That unexpected, random and chaotic poo poo was half the fun though. All this talk of the Jihad era stuff just makes me sad. One hundred fifty ton mechs? Word of Blake bullshit? The hell you say.

I find superheavy mechs to be fairly interesting under their new rules. At least under IS tech there's fun choices to make with crits, and questions for usage. With Clantech of course making a good machine is still like falling out of a tree though.

I love how she knows she's in trouble. She brought two stars against two lances, any other time and someone would've challenged her right to lead if she grossly overbid like that. Turns out she underbid, of course. Then again, by that point, especially if you went with the Dragoons as your parent company (and really, why wouldn't you,) you're more or less fielding two full Lances of nothing but Clan technology anyway, so that's probably a fair fight, given that it's more than possible for you to be bringing two Lances of nothing but Heavies and Assaults against her mixed Assaults, Heavies and mediums.

Telamon posted:(Did any of the IIC mechs make any drat sense whatsoever?) Make sense how? In that they exist? The only one that doesn't really make any sense is the Jenner IIC. Otherwise, they exist because when the Clans finally had a chance to start designing new 'mechs, they based them on the SLDF ones they already had- most notably, the Mercury, which became the basis for the omnimech. Mainly, though, they just redesigned them: adding 5 tons here, 10 tons there, and then installing their upgraded tech, so that the 'mech would retain its original role but become much more effective at it. So you get, for instance, a Rifleman that uses CLPLs to swat down aircraft, or a Warhammer that uses ER PPCs and a huge bank of CMPLs instead of regular PPCs and a mix of lasers and machine guns. Although maybe you mean, "how do they make sense because they're supposed to be old junk, but are actually among the deadliest designs the Clans have?" Good question.

Arquinsiel posted:You never see a box of death? I'm using the latest version from the MekTek guys that adds a million mechs and guns, and I think they've rebalanced everything. I think I did that mission in a blood asp with two ER large lasers, two heavy medium lasers and two clan LBX 20s. Rest of my guys were in various assault mechs (including 3 Daishis). I wish I'd loaded up with a ton of ER PPCs instead though, as blasting the vultures from a million miles away as they crest the hill never gets old.

AJ_Impy posted:Out-Clanning the Clans by their own rules is indeed great fun. Remember, MW4 doesn't have Zell rules for its AI units, they just pick the nearest target and start shooting, so it's not so much out-Clanning the Clans by their own rules as using your own rules to set up an agreed-upon place and time for an Inner Sphere battle. So you both out-Clan the Clans by Spheroid rules and you out-Sphere the Clans by the Clan rules. Arquinsiel posted:Only if you don't know what you're doing. Clantech is less efficient in DPS/Heat terms in MW4, and the IS weapons are infinitely better for no drat reason at all with better chassis to mount them on for the most part. I hit her with a Hauptmann leading a charge of Unseen heavies and 3060s IS Omnis. That's only after MekTek decided to make some kind of retarded parity between Clan and IS technology for online league play. MW4 Vanilla, as the original game's coders made it, Clan technology was rightly and properly superior. Besides, that only applies to Clan vs. IS Energy weapons. Clan ballistic and missile weapons are still inherently superior by virtue of weighing less, so you can pack on more ammo or more launchers or guns.

I was highly amused once when a cheeky friend decided to use clan pulse lasers on his preferred design and I wrecked his poo poo with X-pulses because he had to stop firing for a while, whereas I could just keep shooting. Also they're blue, which just looks better IMO.

Pretty much everyone I play with has the hit location table memorized, which is not difficult, so we can just roll six different-colored pairs of d6 for SRM 6s, and read the locations right off. Really does speed the game up, especially once you do this for identical weapons on the TH roll.

Take one of those transparent tackle box trays with the closeable top, and place two dice into each cell that are small enough to rattle in there but large enough to be read.

Well, get every gun you can on that unconscious guy, and pray that the Long Tom's MG can head snipe the Thunderchild. Sure are a lot of head shots in this battle.

Oh poo poo, get in the loving woods MAD get in the WOODS and kill B PTN what is... loc7? is that the center torso or the left torso? Looks like the Center Torso. (used called shots on the center torso and drill it to death) and FIRE LRMS Whichever torso it is, AIM at that torso called shots to that torso and then kick, mad get into the woods to your right and try to get next to B I don't think you can but you can at least get some cover from joshua and alpha strike at B, calling your shots to that weakened torso. Oh and thunderbolt? LRM fire it if you still got it. Tank give -1 fucks and fire everything at joshua as you start to fallback. AtomikKrab fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Oct 27, 2011 |

Luck can be a remarkable thing sometimes. Also helps that PTN has been wayyyyy too nice. Still, it looks like this battle is over. Just finish off the sleeping dude and call it a day.

I'm pretty impressed Chu-i Grist seems to have survived his cockpit melting off. Maybe it's okay he's without a 'Mech now. If you gave him another he'd probably think he's invincible.

PPC-to-the-face dosen't give a gently caress about your ferro-endo-xl-er-large-pulse-ppc bullshit. Edit: I don't think the Manticore can get LoS to B. Someone correct meor I'll just start sniping at the Thunderchild. raverrn fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Oct 27, 2011 |

Yeah, we're not going to last too many more turns with Joshua in range. Throw everything you have at Heavy A and cross your fingers. If possible, try to get into one of the side arcs (probably won't have any chance of getting to the rear arc) so you can concentrate your fire on one arm/leg/side torse.
