Armored Core is console only MWO is a cashgrab MAG is genuinely not a good or polished game The only good AND relevant mech game right now are the Gundam titles and their generals are on /m/

I want to put MRMs on a Catapult-C1 mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=12&l=7641d025621083fdca00b45c11770a5850dcf143 Is this acceptable? 2x40 MRMs generates 24.61 heat so I should be able to fire it four times in a row assuming I get no breaks. MLs are just backup. Should I downgrade to 2x30? That'll let me get some more heatsinks, bring more ammo, max out the armor, or even pick up an AMS if I need it. Can someone help?

Awoo~ is now banned, shadownerfing patch incoming.
Carter Ross
First - i was proud having same warh00ns on all my mechs. Second - i was a bit annoyed, still a bit aroused, by all the AWOO~ blasting all around in every fucking match. Third - i wrote Tina about how i feel they are stealing awoos from us. Fourth - every single clan laservomit i did on this event felt almost the same, regardless of mech used. Perfect balance?
Samuel Taylor
How many awooo warhorns I need to buy to y1ff TheB33f?

Are those guided munitions? Is every machine seem to have light armor and can't take a lot of punishment? It looks weird but maybe kinda fun.
Thomas Cox
No all of the weapons in the game are dumb-fire. Artillery and rockets have rangefinders to help though.
Some builds are extremely armored and some have shit for armor. It's all up to the parts you pick.
Justin Brooks
Interesting. I love Battletech / Mechwarrior, but this might be worth investigating.
Juan Jackson
It has a demo mode you can try out. You just have to register on their website Bombdogstudios.
Also speaking of durable builds. This thing would not give a shit about those artillery impacts.
Jace Russell
The Hexapod in that webm was damaged quite a bit already judging by the smoke.
Parker Roberts
A few years ago /gerg/ interviewed the dev for MAV. Nice guy.
Which Treb do I get for the challenge? I don't know anything about this mech. Tempted to get the 7M and do dual MRM30.
Tyler Edwards
KWERKS?
Eli Adams
We also interviewed three devs at once in one kongkast that was good shit
Jaxson Morris
I miss KongKast. We should bring it back for old times' sake, especially since we have so much content to shit on if we break down the timeline
Bentley Gutierrez
They lost MRBC
Lincoln White
The problem was LaserAngel did most of the actual work beyond everyone just having that round table discussion complaining about everything. Unless someone steps up to edit it and upload it we'll never do another.
Charles Morgan
Any of them should be good. The trial mechs are even viable for the event, so I don't think there'd be a specific Treb model that is excluded.

Man mumble kong dodged a bullet with kaelus leaving.
Nathaniel Robinson
I'm pretty sure I've read this a hundred times and looking at it again I still have no idea what crawled up kaelus's ass to make him such a massive douche at that time, and I can think of plenty of other times I made kaelus mad as fugg

Landon Baker
I tend to prefer 30s with lasers. That works though, just aim for big targets. If it's under 55 tons, you're losing damage.
Jayden Thompson
OMG so many bad direwolfs
Is it American Primetime?
Andrew Parker
It's just people who have never learned how to play a dire wolf being forced to play with outdated or unskilled builds.
Elijah Cox
nope, too early. It's Eurotime.
Juan Ortiz
What's the point of the MC period? You'd have to be stupid to buy anything other than the Hero mech for MC considering it'll always cost premium currency (even if it goes on sale for 30-50% off later on) but the other variants will be available for fucking free currency later on.
Jayden Murphy
Hasn't mumble kong won in the long term?
Caleb Harris
They still play robots and roleplaying games. Discord is usually empty except for sad memes.
Nicholas Harris
2 HLL 4 ERML Hellbringer, or 6 MPL Hellbringer? The build's almost exactly the same except more fits in the torso with MPLs.
Jose Bailey
2LPLs, 4ERMLs, ECM
Zachary Gray
i dont understand this lore t. newfag
Caleb Peterson
So since the foundation of Veeky Forums, /mwog/ has always been a thing, and was later renamed to /gerg/ to incorporate the other robot games after generals like hawken grew too feeble to survive on their own. For the entire duration of this general's history, it founded and has subsequently been run and managed by a group called Kong Interstellar Security Solutions. Kong had a civil war a couple years ago. Half went to discord, the other half stayed on mumble, both started shitposting about it in the general. Over the years the discord kong has become less while initially starting stronger, but the mumble kong has remained constant, neither really growing or shrinking. In the long run I guess they turned out to be the winners. They're also the ones that still play robots.
Liam Ortiz
Since the early days of 2011, around the closed beta of mwo, there was a Veeky Forums group that played the game together first on Veeky Forums and then on Veeky Forums when this board came around. New people showed up all the time. Sometimes there were 30 people playing together. As it is a Veeky Forums group open to anyone, you get a large variety of individuals, some of whom are cool, and some who are giant fags.
First it was on Ventrillo. Then it went to one Mumble server. Then it was split to a new Mumble server and Discord due to group drama related to about 3 or 4 no fun faggots.
Kong has played mwo and other robot games for all this time. They've made about two dozen podcasts discussing this game, heavy gear, hawken, and star citizen. The kong in mumble now also play tabletop games like mutant epoch and megamek battletech and hackmaster.
There is a prophecy that once star citizen releases, all the kong will return to fly together in space.

I'd shift a few more points to the left back so you don't get insta crit'd by a stiff breeze in the back. Other than that, might do some work

Meant RT but your CT should always have or be tied for the most rear.
Logan Young
will /gerg/ ever get a GOOD, high quality and polished mech game?
will MW5 be good?
>tfw no melee stuffs
Ethan Martin
2 HLL,4 ERML, ECM and have fun melting bodies.
Leo Johnson
Check the past for good stuff. I doubt it because Piggu Feels Hatchet, man
Isaac Sanchez
Is there any merit to running half MLs, half ERMLs on a build? Can still punch at range but run a bit cooler at close than full either, respectively. Or will that just make it shitty at two rangebands?
John Myers
There's no real benefit. If you're laser vomiting, you should be all about the alpha and everything should be the same.
Jaxson King
Same reason you don't want to bracket build. Better to keep everything effective on the same point so you can rely on it.
Parker Myers

Should I get a Hellbringer while they're on sale or save up a bit more to get an Irate Feline MkII? Everything else on sale I either own or have no interest in.
Tyler Reyes

>Star Shitizen Wew
Hunter Butler
>later renamed to /gerg/ to incorporate the other robot games after generals like hawken grew too feeble to survive on their own correct but incorrect it was renamed to /gerg/ because dudebot is a memer and named the general after me :^) and everyone just sort of stuck with it
>Hasn't mumble kong won in the long term? technically yes technically no In the long term everyone has stopped giving a shit about this shit and most of kong just use both discord and mumble. Frankly discord got 10000000 times better as soon as kaelus fucked off forever, but that's a different matter. Discord has its crowd, Mumble has its crowd, and the folks of both consist of those use only one of the two and those who mingle between the two. Both Discordians and "Mumblemutts" play robots, though discord has exclusive things like FOTW shit and the mumble crowd has exclusive shit like RPG sessions and whatnot. The discord gets a lot less new folk since it's invite only, but has a tightly-nit community aspect to it which is nice. Mumble gets new folk time to time, some of which might be okay and some of which might be massive faggots, but they usually don't stay around for too long though that's pretty much our fault since a good chunk of us play robots so irregularly and at such random times its hard to know when its a good time to show up
tl;dr people used to be mad because voip choices but honestly none gives a shit anymore
Levi Taylor
Which do I join if I want to play mwo with people I tried the mumble but it's dead and like a maze with these meme channel names
Tyler Morales
>I tried the mumble but it's dead and like a maze with these meme channel names At euro hours there's almost always 2-3 people playing.
At american hours it's very random, sometimes nobody playing, sometimes 5 people.
Jose Taylor
you're only choice is mumble because, as I stated before, discord is invite only.
If you're around in the morning you can play with kakos and shaix n' the like if you don't mind taking a chance against kakos chewing you up and spitting you out otherwise you'll have wait until you see us actually playing robots in mumble. You're more likely to see us playing during the early half of an event or patch day following a few days after said patch.

m8's. Which atlas variant is the most useful and fun?

>AS7-D with HG/ac20, mrm60 & >AS7-K with HG, mrm40, 4mpl
Robert Hughes
There's the classic AC/20 4SRM6 AS7-S.
Hunter Garcia
the atlas with 4 hardpoints and 4 srm6s and an ac20
Nicholas Green
The channel names don't matter. You just go wherever there are people.
James Rivera
The mumble is used for more than just mwo tho
David Lewis
That's garbage nowadays. Srms suck, there is no reason to bring them on assaults when there are mrms. On top of that the S has inferior structure qwerks instead of armour qwerks.
Henry Morgan
Yeah it's also used for f*rry ERP
Christian Stewart
structure quirks are decent on atlas because you can overheat the fuck out of your mech especially if you want to go out in a blaze of glory with 4SRM6 and an AC20
Thomas Torres
oh shit which channel
Easton Gomez
Mere gimmicks. First your weapons get crited out more easily Second with armour you can run heavy goose, with no heat, that's better at dealing damage than the ac20 anyway and has more range to synergize with superior mrms.
