That is suprising, the enemy actually hung around after dieing to bother accusing you? most people I see logout of the match as soon as they die.
You underestimate the power of the butthurt.
probably, but the jenner I nearly killed in one missile salvo did not winge at me. Close range (after a coating with a pair of large lasers) I gave it a face full of SRM's, (4 x srm6 to be exact, 24 lovely missiles with little spread). Damage screen went from nice dull to nearly red all over
Though the heat missle systems give off on launch is just silly vs other weapons. 4x LRM15, basically instant shutdown. 4xsrm6, 50% without a hassel.
best match ever yesterday.
im running around in my cat C1, pummeling the enemy with my LRMs till im empty, then enter the fray with my two MLasers. We were doing well, but i notice our side start to break down. I make a mad dash to their base and start to capture. A lone hunchback on my team follows me. Its down to 2v2. Me, the 4G hunch vs a Commando and a mostly intact Atlas AS7D.
It turns into a slug match inside their base. the Commando engages me while the hunch trys to delay the atlas comming over the ridge. the hunch does his best, but is mauled by the atlas who finally draws his crosshairs on me and enters the base to stop the drain.
It becomes a game of manuvering. Im trying my best to get behind the atlas, but i end up plinking away at his front armor. the hunch is out of the base firing what was left of his lasers at the atlas before hes taken down. The commando fianlly pisses me off to draw my fire again. a quick blast of lasers to his torso and hes finished. So its just me and the atlas.
hes not that skilled of a pilot and moves out of the base capture zone. im being crippeled by his fire, but theres just a sliver of cap remaining.
The atlas finally cores me JUST as the victory screen comes up! i was able to hold out long enough to cap the base!
Nice. If i was in the beta (which i couldn't disclose if I was) I would be pretty happy about getting 6 kills in a match the other night. That would be bad ass.

My friend told me that he thinks I would have had seven today...if I were in the beta >.>
I feel like even the autocannons are giving off too much heat. They don't seem to have quite the advantage over lasers that I am used to...
Stop shooting them all at the same time, chain them. This was and still is the tactic to use in any mech game.
If it plays like the board game then IIRC armor must be added in 1 ton increments. Do you have a full ton available when you try to add it?
on the first, I can agree, but they are heavy for any real damage. And ammo becomes a issue if you survive a few exchanges. Side note is leading targets are a little harder at distance, and bullet drop is quite noticable at long range. But then the target leading is similar for the PPC's too. At least with lasers, you can readjust some (easier with larger lasers as they shoot longer). with small lasers, might as well be a AC given the allowed recovering time. But don't get me started on teh ER lasers, the heat in them is just daft.
on the second point, it works in beta, but once the game goes live, that MC can only be purchased with RL money and is the only thing that can be used for things like buying extra mech slots.
Can someone explain the armor to me? I'll look at a part in the mech bay and it says 40/48 armor or whatever but I can't increase it up past the 40 even if I have tonnage available or decrease armor elsewhere.

When is the beta going to be finished? Is it worth plopping down the cash to get into the beta? Is everything going to be wiped when the game goes live?
It's hard to give the pro's and cons since the game is still in Beta and changes are still being made. I guess it's just whether you have a personal favorite Mech. If you like going fast and playing a scout, choose the Jenner. If you like to be a slow walking tank that soaks up damage, pick the Atlas. Catapult is the missile boat, Hunchback is the medium Mech with a giant cannon.
