King crab, I can only imagine they were very new. It was one of the matches where one side is LRMs and the other "snipers". I was a MPL build, so I just hung out and watched this guy for about half the match.

How do I screenshot in this game? Do I have to use fraps? I just keep getting a black screen.

That only happens if you are playing in Fullscreen. If you do windowed-no-border or just windowed then it'll work fine.

I'd change it, but playing windowed with this game makes my second monitor start flickering like crazy for some reason.

I have mech ADD, and I usually can't play a single mech for extended periods of time and so I'm always wasting way too much time on smurfy.
I was going through various quirks and hardpoints just messing around to look for the next mech I want to play.

I think this might be hugely undervalued but potentially very strong mech:
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=94&l=a395d5acf6725eef80b7a9ef2401c71f7474f966

Kintaro KTO-20: 25% Energy Range, -15% Laser Burn Time, and additional structure on all components.
438 Range with a .55s burn for LPLs. You can run very fast (95.7/102.9 ST) to help protect the buttholes of Fatlases from lights and 3 LPLs is no joke when it comes to dishing out some pain.
Stick on the 2 LPL modules and it shoots faster and even further out.

The BJ-Arrow can do the same fitting with better quirks and is 10 tons lighter with JJ capacity but KTO-20 is faster and 2 of the lasers are mounted to the arms so there's potential to have a bigger range of motion for damage application.
I'd argue Arrows are probably way too OP right now and probably will get nerfed but I don't see the KTO-20 getting nerfed without some other mechs getting the nerf bat first.

Blackjack are good and The Arrow is wonderful and they are in that sweet spot of 45 tons so you can basically be added to any group and not mess up the other players tonnage.

The Kintaros look great on paper, I made the mistake of buying them and the Golden Boy when it was on sale. They are loving awful. Their hitboxes are absolutely terrible. I died in a single LRM volley at full armor in one of them because every single missile hit my CT. I didn't last long in any other match. Their weapon positioning is garbage, their CT missile slot can't hold two Artemis 4s, and inexplicably has a door you have to remember to default open; and even with Artemis their launchers are so far apart it's like your launching Tetris blocks.

Anything they can do you are much better off doing with a Griffon or a Wolverine.

Except maybe boating LRM-5s. Which you shouldn't do. But if you must, do it on a Mad Dog. But no really don't.

Something that's been happening to me, that I forgot to mention, is that sometimes I need to hit Print Screen 3-4 times before it takes a screenshot. I have no clue why. You don't have any way to tell until you go into the folder to see if the shot was taken. Probably a V-Sync issue.

Since no one posted this in a while and I couldn't figure it out until Patton helped, to fit a LPL on the Locust with an XL190, you need to have 1 point of armour on each arm, 9 on the head, and have both Ferro and Endo.

Yes, you can also do it by taking armour off other places. The important thing to note is that you need to take armour off (also there's no reason not to go ferro/endo, you have the slots and it lets you take more armour).

Instead let's keep talking about bad mechs that I like since aod probably hasn't seen enough of them !

Why not put an XL 350 off that king crab and put it on a Zeus with two ac 5's and three large lasers? I think 5 tons of ammo should be more than enough!

I don't know if you really want to do that. The guy built his huge audience of stupid gamers by drawing attention through big claims and whole-hog "politically incorrect"/bigoted jackassery. This wouldn't embarrass him, it'd just further validate his approach and even worse make him feel relevant again.

Ive got some bad builds:

TDR-5S-Mixed ranges

TDR-5S-Technically better but not actually better

TDR-5S-Why am I even alive

I'm eliting with the 5S and I just don't know what do do with it. 4 LL just seems so boring and I don't like that one of them is on the arm.

TDR-5S-Most correct but dull and somehow has the worst DPS

Sorry for more words about this, but you really should use Ferro on this. You'll want max torso and leg armor at the very least; you get a little free armor on your LA/RA and your head won't get hit unless you get really unlucky with an air/arty strike. The 1V has a lot of extra structure, but when you're at 20 tons you really need to squeeze every little bit of extra survivability out.

Here's what I use: LCT-1V
