boardgame-wise there is the rough balance clan v IS is to hold tonnage equal and
>5v8 or 10v12

What should I build for my IS drop stable?

fuck clans with their too many good options

feel free to come back when people are awake. ameritards usually get here in 4-6 hours

want

Ironicly I get the best games in Autistic German evening when its Euros, fucking Aussies and American NEETs.

Your statement is literally the opposite of true.

...

I want into faction or unit play, wat do

Uhh there's some really good and heavily quirked IS mechs. Also, Clan players can be really shit too, you know?

>Why Early Access?
>“Many have gotten it wrong because they’ve ignored their community. Heavy Gear is an awesome franchise with an incredible lore. We don’t want to mess this one up. We have the passion, dedication, and knowledge to make Heavy Gear Assault amazing.

What did they mean by this?

I don't think AA/AAA titles should early access.

You tire out your playerbase before the game is even finished. It will stay in beta forever.

IS was having a perfectly good time before. Even against 12 kodiak waves, IS just aimed and brought em down, knowing full well that was nearly half of each clan pilots drop deck.

The only points of contention that there really is that IS didn't get a 75 ton mech that could answer the Night Gyrs heavy weapons payloads, which the Bandersnatch would have fit perfectly, and that IS XL engines get cored out easy but that's more a problem with the way all weapons have perfect convergence on a target than anything else.

Giving nigger spheroids 15 tons was mostly a band-aid to appease the shitty pug pilots that suck more mahogany man-molasses than Russ when his wife invites the local football team over.

Problem is that scrubs complain about clans having more firepower and running faster, when ALL fights center around abusing indestructible terrain by peeking in an out of it (which IS get accel/decel quirks for) and then alpha striking fast to a single side torso (which IS also get quirks for on top of having faster/ more accurate weapons).

So it really is a problem with nigger spheroids gobbling more gentleman goo than it is a tech problem.

"2MLG4u whore" players generally stay on Clan contracts longer because clan pugs usually LISTEN and FOLLOW ORDERS. IS pugs don't. They rebel, they complain, they bring retarded builds that don't even work in quick play and then they win to piggy about tech base imbalances. Another reason is because the game mode rewards damage and kills, and you can shoot IS mechs more than you can shoot clan mechs. IS mechs absorb more damage before dying, this they're more lucrative to fight against.

TL;DR Git gud you fucking faggots.

You retard, it's called BATTLE VALUE.

Clans have more expensive shit both equipment and pilot wise, that's why they get less units.

Feels good man.

There are multiple ways to calculate BV with BV and BV2.0 as the primary ones.

Even then you have to cap relative unit numbers and some shit costs way more BV than it is worth.

And the entire problem goes wonky when you have players of differing skill and teamwork aptitudes, experience all with custom mechs that are tweaked either well or retarded.

Why the rebit designs in this game suck so much ass?

I remember original HG having pretty good chunky milspec designs back in the day.

I thought it looked fairly standard. HG always had a VOLTOMS real robot vibe.

This shit looks more like something out of Serious Sam 2 tho.

If you added an armor skirt over the hip joints it wouldn't be as weird.

Au contraire, that would make it downright weebshit retarded.

but HG has always had armor skirts with a V2 Diesel backpack complete with mudflap

damn, missed out on bushwhacker bullshit

Bandersnatch when?

never.

Yes, but HG had actually good aggressive designs to accompany that. Blob bots in the picture above look pathethic frankly.

>real robot vibe
>real
>robot
>vibe

Dam nig das sum mad kush you smokin

Be nice to have one, was a really nice design in BT. Also want pic related.

Flashman is just more laser vomit, though. It'd be a stockier black knight all things considered.

I really miss having queue information on faction fights

Nigga must be an early adopter on a damage control mission.

Is Linebacker best Splat Mech?

If there were incentive to run things stock rather than maxmetamunchfestmode, there'd be a lot more variety. I have to turn the old cognitive dissonance on really hard when I play, because the BT nerd in me is raging at the top of his lungs.

Looks cool, when does this come out?

...

youtu.be/rZ4QldeyNWw

fathamster looks pretty stronk

On Clans? Eh, its got it's benefits. Faster at strafing runs with 1 more SRM tube, sure, but the summoner gets mad quirks and jump jets.

Summoner with the proper quirk pods gets some serious structure bonuses, enabling it to brawl much longer than the Linebacker.

>clan mech with STD engine
MAD, more like madman

Should I change anything for this Stormcrow Brawling setup?

RIP

But defwink is garbo.

>buying shit games
this is equivalent of telling everyone to buy cod

>he didn't buy Infinite War for big ol' space ships and robots

Wow dude, stop posting anytime.

these are deep implications

if i even wanted to play it, i would just pirate it. it's been cracked since early november

Running shit stock would instantly invalidate most of the variants in this game, though.

Fortunately for grogs like you there's a stock only mode, so you can enjoy your grand total of 5 stock mechs that are any good.

Some of the new screens.

A bigger, badder Ebin.
Too bad that left torso Laser is the only one that gets pushed to the shoulder.

>get called a grog
>don't even into forever3025
You misunderstand. I just want a decent chance to actually run configs from the tabletop and have it be a viable sort of thing.

Good god I hate those redesigns. They'd look great in Phantom Crash, but those just don't look like gears, especially the super shiny bits.

Doesn't really look all that much better than MWO, to be quite frank.

SHD vs CN9 in regards to scout missions?

Seems like the 55t and ballistic hardpoints make it a better choice than Centurion or Hunchback.

3lpl cent AL is really good

Giving me a strong xcom feel.

I think I might try this out.

use a nonshiny paintjob?

Able to customize the armor parts, colors and surface textures if you don't like the more rounded Southern armor or reflective appearance.

>new 85 ton battlemech
>best builds I can think of for it can already be run on heavies or even fucking mediums

The point of assaults is that you die slowly.

Which is shit because you get cored out in two shots no matter what you drive.

>doesn't know how to drive
>blames the car

I want to run Gauss and two ERPPC gut that seems really anemic for an 85 ton Clan assault.

Thoughts?

Drop two sinks and two MPLs for one fat LPL in the center torso, helps you avoid spoopy heat and gives you a better alpha.

I was planning on staggering them in two groups of 4. I think the LPL is a bad decision, and I'd rather mix regular medium lasers with LPL.

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=493&l=2f0cad1ab853f57dd527fc9a9ad0306bd18c6097

>35 damage sustained
That's anemic for a Jaegermech.

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=495&l=18f0b966298d32a5f16eccd2b0db32b03c34a27a

Show me something then man. Help me out.
Please.

So is the clan meta unironically lrm20 assaults now or what
>lpls nerfed hard
>autocannons nerfed hard
>gauss nerfed hard
>srm boats like shitcrow nerfed hard because firing more than 4 launchers is going to cause over 9000 ghost heat

No and fuck off

mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=495&l=1eb7840550d58159787924a69ad490860c3ec961

Its the best I can do

Funny.

I'm serious m8 what are we supposed to do now

Streaks feel good...
Am I losing a ton in brawls if I run streaks? They're so useful against lights and out to 350m, which SPLs can't reach.

They kill lights and poorly leg armoured mediums/ heavies dead.

but they suck ass trying to kill anything that's actually armoured... which is why you bring backup weapons and/ or get the fuck away from that armoured target and find a more suitable fuck toy.

Streaks can be used point blank to hit a single component tho, but that means you have to be in skin-to-skin contact with the target and staring at the component you want to blow, and it actually has to be big enough that your streak missiles don't have the time to spread.

I have 6 SPL with my 3 Streak6s. It feels good, and extremely cold, which I like.

I'll keep the weakness in mind and test options.

Guys is the Marauder IIC p2w?

mpl boat

no, you run a fast med or a light just buttfuck'em

>try out 2LBX10 3SRM4 Cyclops for first time

Keep up the good work, /Greg/

Pida minut ajan tasalla

Should I put hand actuators on an arm if I don't want to lose that arm? Do you get like, structure bonuses or anything?
