Combined arms never.

Thanks for the great replies last thread.

Fantasy will never be reality.

Between the tutorial, and the manual in the OP, you should be able to understand how most things work.

The only thing that's left is build advice and actually playing matches well.

Always stick with your team. Pay attention to your minimap. Don't rush around corners if you aren't sure what's there. Don't fight fair. Shoot enemies in the back as much as possible. Adjust your mouse / game sensitivity so you can aim at specific bits. Shoot down uavs.

>Don't fight fair
I was in my champion (light?) free trial mech last night. We started this skirmish match on a huge flat-ish snow map. My team all bunched together and headed in a straight line to the middle of the map, but I hit full throttle and headed around the side of the map.

Anyway, after a few kilometers I slowed down and peeked around and found like 8 enemies ridgehumping and one up high right at their back, so I circled around him, got close and shot his engines a few times before he turned around, but since he was in a Timberwolf and I only had 2 medium lasers and SRM-6 it took a while, but I was circle strafing him and he couldn't turn fast enough to shoot me, I trolled him good but then some huge mech came to help him. Managed to kill the Timberwolf and almost took down the other guy but I got sniped by one of the others in their main group.

In another match I was scouting ahead alone and got ambushed by all the enemy team, so I charged in and circled them all and watched them get hit with friendly crossfire and kept them all busy for a while. I'm having way more fun this time than before I quit last year.

Xth for if youre not piloting a kodiak 10h a day youre a shitter

Xth for HGA will be the second coming of Robots prophesied in the ancient Kong texts.

>when the nascar is shit and your team gets eaten one by one

fuck, just stand and fight

>when your assaults run from a couple of heavies instead of just gunning them down one by one
