PoptartsNinja posted:It's only unstoppable because nobody's fired a single shot at it yet. Maybe I should have equipped that post with a sarcastic smiley? That Hussar is made of tofu jelly and fitted with armor that ranges in thickness between soft tortilla and cannoli shell. It's a glass cannon carrying a single nasty weapon, but if you can get behind it, the son of a gun is deep-fat-fried. The Kuritans must be really short on 'mechs to have fielded this poor bastard. If you tag him with just about anything he's screwed.

Pladdicus posted:My reasoning was thusly, if they're between us and the dropship, and they run, what gets discovered? It's not like they don't know we are here. They also know we have a dropship, that's how we'd get here. They also likely know roughly where the drop ship is, what with sending a recon patrol in it's general direction. We don't have to actually kill the guy to stop him from getting a visual on the dropship - the drop ship is vomiting out assault and heavy mechs. All we realistically have to do is stay in contact with their recon force - then when the hussar approaches the dropship, we tell the assault mechs where the Hussar is coming from and BLAM, he's stuck between an atlas and us and dies. Plus it's a pretty successful counter recon battle if we kill three of their mechs, two of their scout vehicles and escape with 1 damaged mech, 1 with armor hits, and 2 unscratched mechs. Losing a mech makes the exchange look much worse. Edit: Ultimately, the above is so many words. Yeah, I agree the Hussar is really weak and if we can land hits we can blow it to pieces, but it's really, really hard to hit :P

Sure they know that we are here and that we probably have a dropship somewhere, but they currently have no idea of what other forces are in theater. They have no idea who they face and in what strength. The longer we keep the 9th from knowing they face Kell Hounds in regimental strength, the more successful our mission. Nothing short of an assault lance will reach our dropship if I have any say in the matter

Nothing short of an assault lance will reach our dropship if I have any say in the matter Again, they won't discover that from leaking one Hussar. If we do, we should stay in contact, then screening force elements will kill him. Not that leaking one Hussar is even a risk, because he could have run away last turn, but didn't ;P More importantly: If we trash OUR recon elements, we're going to have NFI what we are fighting. We're like 6% of total Kell Hounds forces in the fields, so getting one of our dudes fragged is a reduction in forces you are going to notice.

With the damage to her ‘Mech, Desmond thought her actions unwise, but quickly shifted his aim. His lasers cut through the air on either side of the Hussar, slowing its high-speed turn even as St. Croix came down beside it. Her landing was clumsy, it didn’t matter—she bathed the hussar in plasma from her 'Mech's anti-infantry flamer, and burned a man-sized hole in its left leg with a lucky hit from her laser. Her curses filled the commlines with clutter, even though she’d have been cursing at Desmond for doing the same. Yoshita’s Jenner pulled up behind, in the lee of the mountains. Desmond thought Yoshita looked ready to counter the Hussar’s next move. “Ha!” Lt. Barnes cut through St. Croix’s curses, his Griffin half-dancing (and nearly taking a fall on Desmond’s head for its trouble). “One Kurita Dragon, now doing double service as a Submarine!
