Koorisch posted:So, Clan Mechs, does it matter which version of mech you buy or can you just get whichever and get the Omnimodules for whichever mech in the line is the best for the thing you want it for? The latter. The only thing that's fixed is the CT. You still need three variants for the efficiencies.

Standard engine MADs are where its at. They're basically the opposite of what they are in TT BT.

One of my favorite things as an oxide to do is when I'm out of ammo sit behind one of the heavy mechs and just force them to be unable to move at all

Well the MAD-3R in tabletop is basically designed to be as deadly as possible for the driver- an AC/5 ammo in a under-armored side torso with nothing else to soak crits. Also running dual PPCs with only 16 single heat sinks.

Hooray I knew saving up credits was worth it. Just managed to grab three arctic cheater models with what I had. Now time to give them the good old industrial loader paintjob as is required.

I'm not sure I'd say they do anything better than either the Timby or HBR, but they sit in kind of a sweet spot in between them. They do it different-er and they are fun as poo poo.

tier 2 is quite an upgrade over tier 3. not too meta but every mech loadout utilizes some form of synergy at the very least. there is the occasional lrm boat but not enough for you to drop in alpine and forzen city will always win in votes, regardless. it still seems that you will occasionally have bad drops with noobs/pubs though.

Solo queue doesn't get better at tier 1 (and has gotten arguably worse from personal experience since tier 2).

Recently started playing this game again, and as always i am bad with credits. Is there anyway to make the Locust 3S good? Currently using this but i suck at both mechbuilding and playing so.

I'd argue it'd be better with a single SRM6+Artemis for drive by damage, but can't say in practice.

Why do I see all the griffin builds with 4 ASRM-4s instead of 3 ASRM-6s? the 3 6s have better dps, better alpha better locations on the robot and better heat efficiency. The only thing the srm4s seem to have going for them is a tiny bit less ammo consumption. Am I missing something here?

SRM4s have a tighter spread than SRM6s, they're slightly more reliable for coring mechs overall.

The spread is a lot less of an issue if you're running artemis. The fours are still better, but it's not as big a benefit as if you are running them without artemis.

4s are less ammo hungry, and you can often fit 4 4+A's or 3 6's. Also, some people think ROF is better than DPS. But w/e, the choice is yours

Hmm, thats fair I guess; I think I'm gonna stick with the srm6s for now though if only because I have a srm6 cooldown module but no srm4 one.

4 ASRM4s actually have better DPS than 3 ASRM6s- 11.48 vs 9.69. So if you have the hardpoints its generally better to get the increased DPS and narrower spread at the cost of alpha damage and increased heat.

I'm going to regret asking this, but: Does anyone have the Mauler, especially the MAL-1R(R)? What's special about the model compared to the regular ones, and how well does it work as a fast assault SRM6+A boat? Still on the side of not upgrading to it, but I'm curious.
