Today in Deaths by Decker we learned that if you miss a DFA it can still blow your leg off, after which every enemy on the map will target your CT.

Does anyone else's shadow hawk have a weird floating bit that pops out from underground when it runs? Maybe a kneecap or something.

Poptarting is actually a thing, as I found out when I could only hit a bunch of buildings on a plateau when my mechs jumped.

Mid jump, everything in your jump path counts for the shot. Presumably you can also be shot, even if you began and ended in cover.

Are you sure it wasn't just a tall building?

So I don't really get the LRM love. SRMs do twice as much damage per ton, spread it less, and work at the ranges fights actually happen in. If you're indirect firing you're using two turns to do half damage to a guarding enemy at lower accuracy. That's not even getting into LRMs needing more ammo or dedicated LRM boats not being in the fight sharing their armor.

What am I missing?

I have a perfectly rational LRM hate from MW:O

Same. But also they're garbage.

That's easy enough to answer

The real answer is: stability damage is really good and SRMs do less of it.

SRMs do better stability damage per ton though.

Anyway here's a headshot.

I'm getting a patch, anyone have the notes? It's almost 800 MB

Also I hate when developers gently caress with to-hit percentages. Just show what they are, it's fun to watch babies cry about it.

Tryna figure out what to do with a highlander 733p and a battlemaster. I kinda got the perfect lance. SLDF highlander, orion for brawling, blackknight for closein brawling+knockdown with a PPC, and a lrm jager.

I just dont know how to fit them up that makes it worth shelving any of my heavies. Put em in storage for now.

Make a hot lance and a cold lance so you're ready for every biome.

So I haven't played this since launch, just picked up the expansions. Is the pilot skill situation still all bulwark all the time or did they fix stuff up?
