I... I... I actually had fun last night doing 12mans with goons for hours. There was much squawking like ye olden days. Much brawling. Centurions ruled the day as we played our own version of NASCAR with SRMs and the pubbie teams got to roleplay Dale Earnhardht to our wall.

I feel ashamed of myself. :suicide:

That's a good way to have a sibling steal your kill and shoot you in the back. After that, you end up as a maintenance tech and can only resume piloting mechs under an assumed name and the only way to regain your right to pilot a 'mech is under a trial of refusal and end up in charge of a disgraced unit. Better to just do things the normal way.

Those were bad books.

Kodiak's a 4/6 in tabletop, so it'd be as fast as the BattleMaster. It'd be the fastest 100-tonner in the game unless they release the Iron Cheetah (lol).

Thankfully that's noncanon and will probably never see the light of day outside of Megamek or a miniature kitbash.

I bet visibility on the Hunchback II-C is terrible.

They might cheat the camera/cockpit position a bit though so who knows.

Hunchback IIC was originally something they just threw aging warriors in to go die, so yeah, why design good visibility for an expendable mech and pilot?

It's kind of like CBT again where everything was chill and we just had fun in huge clusterfucks of brawls. Whilst I am in too many financial straits to make bad monetary decisions regarding this game, I've managed to grind out my first Clan mech after only a few nights of grinding with goons.

Don't pub it up and just play with goon drops and you'll have fun.

1. You need more SRM ammo. Those are your primary damage dealers, not your AC/20.

2. If you're going to put 2 Medium lasers, why not put them in your center torso so that you still have guns when you get popsicled?

3. you don't need that command console for anything. All it gives you is lock speed and range, and you're in a freakin' brawl build. Allocate those tons for the aforementioned SRM ammo.

edit: vvvvvvv the latter. You're still accumulating skill points while you pilot the trial version, so there's no need to downgrade to a default fit.

1. I run out of AC before I run out of SRM. I'm actually quite adept at protecting that torso.

2. I don't wan't everything to be torso mounted because the Atlas cannot elevate the torso up or down for poo poo. Even if it's minuscule damage, it still helps to be able to shoot something above or below me. Every point of damage counts.

3. I had the space so figured why the gently caress not, it's a 25% increase in radar acquisition. My ammo allocation is fine and I've yet to run completely dry.

I think I'm done playing MWO until the next event, or the next wave of aimbot bans comes down. We dropped like 3 or 4 consecutive times against SJR and they weren't even subtle about their cheating.

PGI needs to get this poo poo under control. There's no point even trying to play this game when this crap goes down on the regular.

Much as I don't wanna be THAT GUY, I've played with SJR when they still called themselves Smoke Jaguars in MW4 and in MWO before open beta. While I agree their leadership is an egotistical oval office, I'm almost positive none of them cheat. Those guys literally live and breathe these stupid games and hold daily practices for them. I'm not kidding at all, they're probably like zen masters at this stupid poo poo because it is ALL they play. I mean, it's totally possible but unlikely.

PGI have just dug themselves a hole with monetisation though because if they adopt a price plan more like War Thunder (what I'd call the gold standard right now) then the backlash from the whales will be immense.

War Thunder is far from a gold standard. If anything, Gaijin has consistently been raising their prices and upping their grind. PGI just copied World of Tank's retail model and morons bought into it.

I use Endo and ff on my Shadow Hawk builds and it allows them to take incredible rear end poundings. Obviously, it's dependent on play style, but I have a 97kph Shadow Hawk with SRMs and a ER PPC with full armor plus endo and ferro. It's a nasty light hunter and you can also punch up towards the bigger mechs. No room for Artemis but you don't really miss it when you shoot n skoot.
