Battlemaster 1s makes a fun alternative as an srm brawler. Missiles refire really fast with quirks and modules and it can be a bit quicker than the splatlas. Shame its so fragile though. Its actually fatter than the atlas with much less hp and no ablative appendages :/

Changed my mind on the battlemaster it's really fun and I'm getting kills. It's got atlas s firepower but actually gets to fights.

People were talking about boating SRMs on light assaults last page; you could just add 5 tons to the weight of a Zeus and go Stalker with 4/5/6 SRMs and some lasers. I'm sure it'd be more survivable and pack more punch too. Think I'm gonna try one next.

Anyone else having hit detection issues? My pings usually 20-95 but it seems like hits that connect dont always register. This is when firing the faster autocannons or itano circus-sized missile volleys so that might contribute. (Possibly im just bad.)

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=1&l=b89b68cdbbaa044af0688665a89595ca0630afa9 . Been trying to figure out how to make the HBK-4G work for me. Came up with this. It's still not exactly surviveable but it's really great fun. I kind of want to try it with Ultra-AC5s though.

Bait and Swatch posted:That build looks like I would have heat troubles, plus I like the MPLs in the arms to have a bit of precise damage. I wouldn't want to drop the engine, since I need to match the speed of the Stalkers I am usually with. I may try out some version of it though, just for kicks. Here's what I am running AS7-D-DC I like the look of both these builds but it's going to spend more time facing the target if you want to fire those LBs the whole time

A.o.D. posted:increasing mech HP will only serve to make it even more mandatory that 12 mechs focus down their targets one at a time. It'll also make lights more irrelevant because shooting butts will become an essentially fruitless endeavor. Making it so you can only fire so many of different types of weapon at once or so many weapons total at once or whatever will do this too, wont it?

EoRaptor posted:That build was so poorly implemented I had to fix it. MAL-1R Are you going to get much more damage into a single component with 4X4 non-artemis srms compared to 2X4 artemis? I was always running the latter but I don't know how they stack up. I guess non-artemis should be fine for shooting at assaults and whatnot either way Washout posted:But you would still have the same dps, you just would not be able to alpha, so it would wreck the brawling meta and bring back the boring sniper meta. On the plus side from my perspective, mixed autocannons would be back in and i could bring back my lovely old banshee! Surprise Giraffe fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Feb 29, 2016 |

Sputty posted:They're making the Grasshopper, one of the tallest mechs in the game and taller than assaults like the banshee, bigger. I don't know how the gently caress the Grasshopper is considered too small in their scaling system. They're making the Zeus bigger and that mech definitely needs to be made even shittier. That's got to be bullshit. If they were that braindead they'd be unable to type the news

Number19 posted:There's a rare bug where we don't get the right DirectX info from the video driver and it ends up in a "not supported" error. From what I know it's almost always seen after a driver update and a reboot fixes it. Is there a known bug with heat scaling even if you're below ghost heat threshold? Specifically I've got 4 large pulses on a Battlemaster 2C. While stationary, firing 1 takes it from 0-7% heat, 2 from 0-18%, and 3 from 0-30%. It's weird.

Supraluminal posted:Are you testing on a cold map? My understanding is that they can set you to "negative heat" initially, so you're really at -3 or -4% before your first shot even though the meter shows 0%. ~11% per LPL would be consistent with that in your example. Yeah I'm dumb it's because of map heat. Sorry never mind
