KaoliniteMilkshake posted:Regarding bug mechs... Well, the thing about jump jets is that post-3065ish, you get IJJs, which allow for heavy mechs to manage the jumping maneuverability of a light with no huge issues. This means that light mechs which sacrifice speed for jumpjets rapidly face the issue that there can be assault 'mechs with equal maneuverability and far greater survivability. For the bug trinity some of the later Project Phoenix versions like the Wasp-7MAF are pretty impressive... for 20-tonners. And that's the problem. I don't play 3025 much anymore (sadly) and as it stands the only reason to use a 20-tonner right now is to stuff it full of Null-Sig and Chameleon, give it a XXL engine, and use it as an unarmed ground recon platform.

I'm just dabbling in Battletech now and then, but am I the only one who thinks that the technology sounds less and less interesting the later it is implemented? "This superimproved version of the weapon has fewer drawbacks, and you have improved heat sinks, improved engines, improved targeting, improved toilet facilities, your light mechs can carry PPCs (sorry, improved PPCs) and your assault mechs can jump". It just makes me want to play Succession War eras with Riflemen and plain stock Medium Lasers.

C3. BAP and other electronics gear. Stealth Armor. All useful in creating viable 20 tonners. But they aren't really combat machines anymore, true. (But were they ever, really?) lilljonas posted:I'm just dabbling in Battletech now and then, but am I the only one who thinks that the technology sounds less and less interesting the later it is implemented? There's a time period where that is true - 3050-3065 or so. By 3067 and onward, there's enough new toys out there that things have really settled back into a rough equivalence with the state of play in 3025 - just faster, better armored, and with nastier guns. Later tech level play really works better in Megamek than pure tabletop, because you need a hell of a lot more room (and not having to deal with all the interaction between various e-war gear manually is handy too.)

Tempest_56 posted:It isn't just the movement, though. The Locust packs notably more firepower than the others and has flippable arms as well. Take the LCT-1E for example. It's a 20 ton mech, but it's got 16 points of damage on a 360 degree arc of fire. The only light mech that can best that is the Jenner. The Locust also out-armors the Wasp and the Stinger (LCT-1M aside)! Even the Stinger's uparmored -3R variant is worse, as the armor distribution isn't as good.

3025 era is good, but I have to admity I really like some of the newer stuff, and the new tactics it allows. MASC, NARC and C3 come to mind. The Merry Marauder posted:Not every fight is a Grand Melee on a featureless plain, quiaff?

lilljonas posted:I'm just dabbling in Battletech now and then, but am I the only one who thinks that the technology sounds less and less interesting the later it is implemented? Assault mechs could always jump. Also, those XL engines are one of the most basic examples of newtech having a new drawback: if you mount an Inner Sphere XL engine, and you lose a side torso, your mech is destroyed. It triples the amount of "instant kill" sections on your machine. L1 is easy to play, but I also find construction to be not quite as rewarding because there's almost no way you'll ever run in to crit space trouble. My preferred era is 3039, since you begin to see some of the advanced stuff like XL engines and Gauss rifles, but they're very rare. However, a few things like FF armor are coming around to be semi-common, so you might actually need to think about crit placement.

PoptartsNinja posted:Y'all are really going to regret not shooting the heavy tank. Ah, a rather traditional result of Mechs vs. vehicles; "lower priority" is always a dangerous tag to apply to vehicles. Though at least it's a problem in-universe as well, though I have to admit Natasha Kerensky noting she'd "never seen a tank jump up and down on a Battlemech until it was a smear on the road" was a good reply on the subject (though I'd pay good money to see a Kanga pull it off  ).

I personally found 3050 IS stuff sans double heat sinks the most fun you could have. Energy weapons aren't completely dominant and you have to make some interesting trade-offs especially when you design assaults (although Gauss rifles are still kinda spoilsports). Even in mediums it's not completely obvious whether a PPC or ER PPC would be better.

Then again, you do get stupidly lucky sometimes, so who knows whether that 6+ to hit will actually matter. Edit: And sometimes one of you moves into a position where he has no line of sight to anything that's not a friendly target.

They had closer, easier targets anyway.  I'm going to assume they're setting up a flank, 'cause that's what it looks like they're trying for (and that's awesome).

After that? I don’t give a poo poo where this Capellan vulture comes down!” ***** Annie didn’t flinch as the little Capellan Vindicator’s PPC scored armor from her ‘Mech’s broad chest, even though the impact shook her in the cockpit like a child with a rag doll. Bunny bear fell over in the excitement, but he could take care of himself. She dropped her crosshairs over the Cataphract even as Divot opened up with her fancy-rear end lostech supermech. Annie smirked, give her a good old-fashioned brawler like a rifleman over Divot’s prancing Lancelot any day. She unloaded with everything, cringed as her cockpit filled with heat. She didn’t have to look, she knew her aim was true. The Cataphract keeled over, its armor intact… her large laser had caught the oh-so-vulnerable hip joint and sawed through it cleanly. Divot sputtered into the comms. “That,” Annie said wickedly, “is what they get for cobbling a ‘Mech together out of junk.” Bobby laughed on the comms, “Way to go, Avengin’ Annie!” the Navajo Wolf crowed, he seemed actually happy for a brief instant. “Show those Capellan fuckers what’s what!” Enemy Forces D1 WHM-6L Warhammer D2 VND-1R Vindicator D4 BJ-1 Blackjack I1 Capellan Militia I2 Capellan Militia I3 Death Commando Infantry I4 Capellan Militia V1 Heavy Wheeled APC (MG Variant) V2 Zhukov Heavy Tank V3 Goblin Medium Tank V4 SRM Carrier Turn 7 OpForce Movement: D1 Remained Stationary D2 Ran to to 0415 (3 hexes) D4 Remained stationary I1 Remained Stationary I2 Debarks into hex 1110 I3 Moved to hex 1313 (2 hexes) I4 Debarks into hex 1010 V1 Remained Stationary (0 hex (movement costs doubled, not on pavement)) V2 Reversed to 1116 (2 hexes) V3 Flanked to 0717 (4 hexes) V4 Remained Stationary Mission Objectives 17/20 hostages remain!

They didn't even breach the Cataphract's armor. It still has more armor than than any two of the Caballero 'Mechs put together.

PTN, where did the sapper go? I know I said he mighta popped off to take a leak, but he's not on the map. Also, I'm thinking of blazing away at the vindicator right infront of me, while someone else takes out the Zhukov.

Goddamnit. Poor Capellans can't even catch a break outside of canon. I guess you could say they're... canon fodder.

We really need to take down that Zhukov so that I feel safe engaging the Warhammer. I really don't want to burn AC/20 ammo on it, though.

I got a basic plan for what we could do Bobbin Move to 1019, blaze away at V3 Tempest Move to 0617, blaze away at D2 I personally move to 417 and hit D4

You've got enough ammo for 9 more rounds of firing. Given how big a threat the Hunchie is, I honestly doubt you're going to last longer than 9 rounds - might as well get the most out of that boomstick while you've got it.
