How fast can a 6SPL locust kill an atlas from behind?

The only one who will have fun in Escort is a 3ams shitfox

Anything to do with a FS9-S(C)?
Worth putting flamers or an ams or two on it?

>(C)
nigga what the fuck are you doing

Also Mpl cooldown 5 worth?
NO
U

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SPEND MONEY ON A CHAMPION MECH WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY FOR WHAT PURPOSE

Because free MC
Because too lazy to farm for cbills

(C) MECHS GIVE YOU NO EXTRA CBILLS YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOL

meant for >(C) MECHS GIVE YOU NO EXTRA CBILLS YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOL
I couldnt be fucked making more cbills to buy one
Therefore I used MC

why the flying fuck would you not buy a hero instead
Literally what are you doing

So why didn't you just buy a normal variant with MC for much less?

so in the new skill tree system, have they said if every mech has their own XP pool like now or if it's one XP pool shared between all mechs?

Even if it's a stock atlas or one that has full armour + "quirks," it'll die before slower, better equipped mechs can get to it.

An arctic shitter pumps out 36 damage each alpha, it can do this thrice in a row before having to cool off.

A stock atlas has 28 rear CT armour, and 62 structure, with an added +31 structure from current quirks. That's a total of 121 hitpoints from the rear.

So an arctic cheetah needs to do 4 alpha strikes to kill the VIP if it's a stock atlas. Locust needs 5 and 1 extra small pulse laser shots to kill it off.

Something like a 12 c-SPL nova or stormcrow? Two alpha strikes and it's gone. Pakhet huntsman with the SRM 80 bomb? One and a half direct alpha strike hits to the CT rear.

GXP is shared between all mechs like now.

Regular XP is mech specific.

C-bills can be used to purchase skill nodes but at a slightly higher price than with XP.

Re-specialization costs c-bills, and then you have to re-purchase those previously bought skill nodes.

Re-specialization bought with MC allows you to retain those skill nodes and merely re-position them.

Piggy jewry ahoy!

>and then you have to re-purchase those previously bought skill nodes.
thanks PGI

So there's literally no point in picking anything but mobility and survivability skills. Unless you're a nuclear jenner that uses nothing but surms or something.

Further proving the point the gold mens have that this system will only promote cookie-cutter builds and nothing else.

Literally nothing will change from the current skill system, except quirks are going away.

gg no re

how are you this dumb

What's that? You like actually using omni-mechs because you can try different loadouts easier, just like actual omni-mechs? Too bad goy, they're onto for minmaxing now.

ERPPC works better in the current meta of Clan goose and pepsi.

That shot from the trailer are about 150m and still slow as shit
The mwo shots at 150 are 2x quicker
>inb4 the old gold men with nostalgia goggles show

ERPPC's are always worth it, purely from a tonnage/range/damage ratio.

Regular PPCs, however, will never, ever be useful. Honestly I believe that regular PPC's should be no-travel time lightning zaps to compensate for being massively inferior in every regard. Especially when they have MWO's min-range.

>That shot from the trailer are about 150m and still slow as shit
You literally don't see it traveling though. It's shot of it being emitted, cut to shot of it hitting, where it hits entirely as a beam in a single frame.

That said, that scene also has slow ass star wars blaster lasers traveling at the same speed as the machineguns.

That's it, time to go back down the memory lane

Step it up with the nostalgia goggles senpai.

BAHAHA
People actually like this old shit
Fuck I can see why MWO is being held back, people want to return to this shit

those are some effective heatsinks desu

Yeah, it's almost like they work properly or something.

I only just found out about MW5: Mercenaries
Fucking wish I was around to see you guys' reactions, shit

Let me sup it up for you in one picture.

seems like the new ppc boat would be a little hot

Why can't I have this as a decal yet in MWO?

MW2 is a mech sim while MWO is a thinking man's shooter™. As in they now think the definition of a Mech game is an FPS featuring giant metal people running around twitch shooting with a mouse and keyboard instead of vehicles that are piloted with sticks, throttles and foot pedals. Which is funny considering the whole startup animation sequence for every drop shows the pilot using those controls.

>assumed my teammates weren't mouth breathing autistic retards
>moved in to help a Kodiak and Cyclops getting shot at
>they run away and leave in in a 3v1 instead of cleaning up the damaged mechs with me

>solo queue
>ever bothering to help assaults

No one who was born to the HD graphic'ing of games dont enjoy shitty doom graphic style games that force you to play with Keyboard & Pedals®
Old gold men need to let go and have to face the future, with or without their consent

>Play locust 1e
>Get hailed as a god
Feels good man

I saw the trailer to MW5 yesterday and got hyped.

Wanted to see if there's any mech games worth playing and here you guys are.

Downloading MWO right now. Wish me luck.

Well, good luck. You're going to need it.

UE4 has TXAA come on PGI just come on learn to use at least one type of AA fuck

Dude just play in 4K for less jaggies lmao.

This
Literally nobody wants to move and shoot using a fucking stick and pedals
Stick and pedals are for planes, not mechs

then why are mechs piloted with stick and pedals, hmm?
check mate

They ripped off plane cockpits for the early mech games because more people were familiar with them. They really should have ripped off tanker controls for a proper sim instead.

You're on the right track but tanks have a separate gunner and driver in most cases.

Archer 2-R with an 80.7 damage alpha, yes or no?

/r/-ing ridiculous neurohelm pics

How many alpha's before shutting down?

Two, actually. Dropping damage by 10 points gives you two, a short wait and a third one.

pretty sure that's nightcrawler

nice

whats a good robot

Hunchback. Good and cheap and there's a variant for whatever you like.

what are other good robuts

Warhammer.

Marauder.

Kodiak.

Timber Wolf.

Stormcrow.

Hellbringer.

Ebon Jaguar.

Griffin.

Thunderbolt.

all good robuts

what are some smaller rebits

...

Locust.

Arctic Cheetah.

Jenner IIC.

gud smaller rubats.

hey guys whats the LB20 laser stormcrow build I've asked four times now but had no answer?

Stop asking

Uh, does beagle active probe not work on an ECM mech or something?

Because I've got a BAP and ECM on, yet I was unable to disable the ECM of a shadow cat that was within 180 meters of me.

POST IT NOW OR ELSE

Are you seriously too dim to build something so simple?

Let me feed you then retarded baby bird.

This ones slightly better due to better overall dps and heat efficiency and the 10 syncing better with the lasers.

Suddenly have a neurohelments folder to share.

Who?

...

...

...

its been awhile and im probably wrong, but doesnt the ECm module have priority over BAPs? you need to use the ECm in counter mode manually to actually counter

its a use one or the other module thing but not both together iirc

...

...

Hrm, if it really is like that, then there is zero reason to put streaks on an ECM mech.

quickdraw

...

no

...

Ecm can counter ecm, but BAP overrides all ecm in a small area. It's why all streakboats need one.

Yeah but the problem here is that in order for the BAP/ CAP on an ECM mech to work, the ECM mech needs to put his own ECM into counter-mode.

Which defeats the purpose of having BAP in the first place. You're paying an extra 1-1.5 tons for a slightly longer range ECM counter at that point.

Bap counters 1 ecm only

>Yeah but the problem here is that in order for the BAP/ CAP on an ECM mech to work, the ECM mech needs to put his own ECM into counter-mode.

You're thinking tabletop. That's definitely not true in mwo.

>the Kuritan is a manlet
>1000 years in to the future and the gooks are still tiny

But I just said I had the problem in a match where a shadow cat, despite being within 180 meters of me, did not lose his ECM while I had my own ECM active.

Only when I flipped it to [counter] did the shadowcat lose its ECM cover.

Bap doesn't counter ecm at 180m. It counters it somewhere below that.

>BAP counters ECM under 180 meters

Wait, so is there any reason to put it on LRM mechs?

Why the fuck would you use BAP/ CAP if it counters ECM when the target is within the deadzone already?
