If you're Liao how are you even fighting people with Clantech anyway? Isn't it faction locked? I remember my Jenners because if I'm in the mood to play a light (which I suck at), they're one of my go tos. Always fun to run around and SRM the poo poo out of people in the back.

I like 4 tanky meds vs clans and 3 meds 1 light or 2 meds 2 lights depending on pilot preference versus IS. Also, vs IS I think carrying a few UAVs when the team is light heavy can be useful at the end of the match since some DAVS have developed a tactic of hiding near the DS until the last few seconds and running in.

Super 3 posted:I still feel like throwing in an Oxide or two is win in just about any situation. Having two tanky mediums to face hug the enemy then the Oxidies harvest butt meat all day. Oxide is a real solid choice and probably the best light for this gamemode if you're going to brawl. If you're on offense and just wanna cap then four Pirates' Banes should be basically invincible If we were gonna do this as clans, I think the 12 SPL Stormcrows would be the way to go, although the range is a problem Zaodai posted:What about the Jenner IICs?

Stringbean posted:Which clan heavy should I buy. I have all the good ones, which leaves me looking at... MDDs can make splatdogs or spam LRM5 builds which are fun, summoner is kinda tanky and agile with jjs and can poptart pretty well. Orion IIC I have no idea, they dont have any quirks but look like they can take the most meta loadouts of the 3.

Zaodai posted:What about the Jenner IICs? Presumably they'd be alright if the IS Jenners are. The Jenner IIC is chubbier than the Oxide, and has none of the structure quirks, so is much easier to kill. The Oxide also has missile cooldown bonuses that give it rates of fire that the Jenner IIC cannot match.

I did that with a couple different mechs back in the day. God I wasted so many cbills. Speaking of cbills, anybody got a good build for a Griffin 2N for Scout Mode? Looks like pretty standard SRM/ML combo, but I'm trying to figure out what the optimal engine to run in that thing is.

Anita Dickinme posted:I'm back. Tell me the important things again. IS brawling good, long range Clan good. 4 v 4 occasionally good. Oxide OP. Game is okay, not great, just get drunk and play with goons. The game is about where it's been lately. Good, not great, fun with other people who aren't playing seriously and don't care about losing. So the Centurion AH is surprisingly good against clans. It overheats too fast for the most part, but holy poo poo you will lay down some hurt. Which Cent build is the Hobo with a Shotgun? I've always liked LB X cannons, even if they are garbage, but I would like to run something that can use LBX...effectively? Edit: Man, my phone hates typing lately.

This is also a thing you can do with the CN9-D CN9-D In Scouting you can skip on ammo a bit which lets you get away with crazy engine sizes.

Lest we not forget the venerable HBK-4SP. Also, last night got paired with a pubby in a crab with all flamers and 2 mpl. He was shutting down crows left and right and it was hilarious. And we won.
