So if the guy was of equal height or less to your cockpit, you may have been firing your SRMs over their head accidentally. Sometimes do the same thing myself in my Warhammer.

Why do 4xAC5 on a basicīd Jager with a tooltip heat of "1" build 10% heat per shot? What is the heat treshhold of a mech, can i read that somewhere? Edit: my heat ratio is 1.51/2, i thought i should be safe with that Yolomon Wayne fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Feb 5, 2016 |

You just need to get a feel for how heat works. The heat system can be quite punishing in this game. To add to this, you aren't expected to run completely cool. Managing your heat without overheating, knowing when to back off and reposition/duck behind cover and use the time to cool off is expected. You'll never be able to shoot enemies 100% of the time, and balancing a build with a lot of upfront heat (and damage) with the need to maintain fire and DPS over time is part of the design process. 1.51 runs very cool; you won't be able to fire indefinitely but you could stand and fire your weapons for a while before you risk overheating and you'll sink the heat you generate relatively quickly when you're not firing.

This concept of "not shooting" confuses me. My Ostwind has 4 autocannons, how can i "not shoot" at any time?

Anita Dickinme posted:This game doesn't deserve you, bro.  by the by, here is the build I have been using for my Mauler MX-90, from MetaMechs http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=326&l=31148ee451cd55e98509de362bb55191611aed52 Cool things about this build: 1. You can stare down anything in the game 2. People panic when they see you because you deal out rapid-fire 25-point alphas 3. Five AC/5s makes a cool BOOM BOOM BOOM sound 4. Basically impossible to overheat 5. Reach out and touch someone from about 850m for full damage 6. Mounts are reasonably high Lame things about this build 1. Oh man it is so slow 2. Like seriously slower than a Dire Wolf. If you hesitate at all you will get your rear end left behind and ruined, and even if you don't hesitate sometimes 3. Is immediately a priority target for everyone who sees it 4. VERY minor structure quirks Basically you wanna stick at about 500m or so and punish anything that pokes its head out. Lights will have to beware you because you can take out their legs very easily. Great at killing heavies and assaults. Don't brawl with it, try to stick behind Dad or other brawly 'mechs, do lots of damage

Stringbean posted:The Mauler looks fun, but I'm just not a good ballistics guy. Leading my shots isn't the problem, I just never get good damage out. Guess I'm more of a laser/SRM kind of guy... There are laservomit builds for everything. Just put on 3 LPL and as many mediums as will fit and that works too. I do fine with AC5's even with bad latency. That Gobbo posted:I'm falling down the rabbit hole and bought the Marauder hero mech. Not really a fan of the one on metamech since I'm more into brawling, so I whipped this one up. Any suggestions or other decent builds? I'd do 3 LPL in the arm you shield with the best, on mine I do right arm, and then mediums everywhere else. The ghost heat on LPL is 3 and right now they are probably the best gun in the game. If you want to get into mods then you get mlaser range and lpl cooldown to try to make them match up at least a little better. If you are poo poo at twisting then split up the LPL and put one in the opposite arm. Washout fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Feb 5, 2016 |

Any suggestions or other decent builds? If you're into brawling I like the build I run: 7 medium lasers and 1 AC20. Group the Mediums in two groups and the AC in a third. It runs pretty toasty but you can manage the heat pretty well.

Talmonis posted:If you treat it like a Hunchback, it sees you through some nasty brawls. I actually recommend normal medium lasers though, to keep your heat managable. I'm maintaining a 3 to 1 KDR with that build, far higher than my usual poo poo average of .90 Yeah I'm using an standard 300, endo steel, 4 mediums, AC/20, 5 tons of ammo (sometimes too much, sometimes too little depending on the match), some extra heat sinks, ECM (goes without saying really), and maxed-out armour minus a touch on the legs to shave it down to the closest half-ton. Feels good man It runs hot enough with 4 standard mediums and a bunch of extra heat sinks so I can't imagine being able to use medium pulse lasers for any length of time.

It's the most expensive variant and comes with jumpjets, double heat sinks, and an xl of some kind. It has half of the structure quirks as the other crabs though. I run mine with two large pulses, three small pulses, and an xl 300 with max armor, max jump jets, and even an AMS plus 1/2 ton of ammo. Pretty sure it has endo and ferro. It is seriously my favorite mech at the moment, but I sold the other two variants I used to basic it out. One has a really high engine cap, but it's not worth it without jump jets.

Here's the build for my insane flying contraption: CRB-27SL Could I switch out the lasers for five medium pulses, cram in a larger engine, and maybe even drop ferro to fit some more heat sinks? Yes. However, I've found that I have to poke a bunch at 400-ish meters so this build works better for me. I used to run it with three medium pulses in place of the smalls, but I decided that that was a little too crazy.

Crabs don't really poke worth a poo poo though, so may as well fill all 5 slots with lasers so you can vomit all over people.

Can't poke because you need to bring your entire mech out of cover because of hardpoint placement and too hot/fragile to brawl. Fit a STD 280, 5x MPLs and jump jets. The crab is not a pokey mech and you should be brawling to make the best use of it. It rolls damage like a loving champ if you run STD.
