lrm carriers mk2 still are great fire support even though they are not insane death machines this patch (turns out artemis lrms were bugged for double the bonuses they should have had)

i liked might and magic x. but that was made to be like a retro game

hell yeah Ryoken A ftw

i landed a stormcrow H, which has heat problems but hits like at truck (in general, clans in bta3062 have been rebalanced towards hitting harder, hotter, and closer)

hbs battletech, specifically with the “ battletech advanced 3062” major modpack

If you’re getting the game you want all the dlc

i believe the engine has a fundamental issue so even on a really powerful rig the game has some chopping and speed issues, and modpacks disable ingame saves (and missions can take over an hour in some cases) but it’s still a fantastic battletech experience

battletech looks pretty great and I loved the tabletop game as a kid so maybe that should be what I check out after I burn out on xcom

Kenny Logins posted:

ty foo, will have to try this

here's my official recommendation: get the full game + DLC, and play through the campaign unmodded except for maybe a couple of small QoL mods, i think there's a colored LoS one that's incredibly helpful, similar in concept to Gotcha Again for xcom2wotc.

Then, if you have a hankering for MORE, get one of the Big Modpacks and do a career. The three Big Modpacks are in order of less wild stuff to more wild stuff are Battletech Extended (BEX), Battletech Advanced 3062 (BTA), and RogueTech (RT).

I haven't touched BEX, played RT a long time ago and didn't like it much, and am now working on my second BTA career.

i checked the bta3062 wiki and the kit fox with AIV is not in the game as a standard variant but the thing is an omnimech so you could slap one on there if you wanted to, i guess

it's the dumbest idea ever but it seems like 1/4 times it could work really, really well and the other 3 would just be a shitshow

AIV has splash damage in BTA you usually get some value out of it but i usually put my artillery in the vehicle slots

all i know about arrow iv is in mechwarrior 2 you could shoot one and the enemy mech would instantly turn red and its arms would fall off

it's not nearly that powerful in BTA
