I'm trucking around in that "founder reward" centurion. I'd say witness me but I'm pretty mediocre.

The structure bonuses on things like Atlases are so insane and the SRM changes such a buff that I think it might be?

Actually had a pretty good brawl with a bunch of Marauders earlier. Those things are not XL friendly at all.

The C-Bill boost is a pretty good QOL improvement too. But yeah, it seems like brawling might be undergoing a revival, based on the handful of games I played tonight. Might.

Every patch has people trying different things. Initial games show promise, but I'd like to see how things play in a couple weeks. That said, SRMs are muuuuuch better and that in of itself is a huge.

I will say; the Cent-AH with the new SRM velocity/spread values and its reshuffled quirks is real fuckin' tight. Give it a shot if you have one.

As for marauders, this seems to be working out pretty well so far: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=347&l=c9b7d908564bca80e00aa087eb32264d5c9d7a48

I played a round with you on Mining, where you complimented some guys [BEER] tag. I don't remember if we won, but I do know that I learned that the Huggin is mean as hell. I'm a bit confused on it's quirks though. +25% missile cooldown and 5% SRM 4 cooldown. Does that mean that the Huggin only gets 5% cool down on SRM 4, or 30% cooldown? I've also learned that the Huggin with S-SRM 2 and BAP will gently caress up a Cheetah's day pretty quick. you can only harass non-lights, but god drat that Cheetah's going to loving die faster than it should. I've been doing great in the Pirate's Bane and 1E. The only problem I'm having is with assaults. Stopping and starting is a huge pain in the rear end now. It's also made Alpine and Therma worse than before, unless playing conquest. Someone save me from tier 2. Youtube "super stars" as far as the eye can see. I don't want to play against Kanajashi and his cronies anymore.

Glad to hear the huggin is still mean as poo poo, I liked that mech. I need to get better at stalkers. Theyre so painfully slow.

Every assault is so drat slow now. Best match in the Huggin was near 1K damage. Seems to play similar to how it did pre-patch. Just run into a group and start firing at anything alive. You can definitely still focus down a lone assault, the occasional heavy, or any other stupid light that thinks you should be an easy kill. The SRM buff helps it a lot. I just wish it had 1 energy mount for a backup small laser or something. I burn ammo way too fast.

Great Beer posted:I'm tier 3. How do I go back to 4 so I can beat up bads again Tier 3 means you get to fight tiers 1 -5. If you want to deliberately drop then sorry, it's designed to basically only go up over time unless you're truly awful. I guess you could try machinegun only Maulers or something. Spend everything else on gauss ammo so you explode faster.

Gauss cooldown is 6 seconds -- I believe it used to be 4.5. Dual gauss will probably still be a thing, but single gauss is too slow to compete. The Grid Iron got double nerfed with the gauss change and its reduced quirks -- hope you didn't buy one! Also, here is how Paul Inouye, the game's lead designer, builds a Catapult-K2: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/185249-looking-for-catapult-builds-and-tips/page__p__4848953#entry4848953
