My point is that if Mr Russian turns on a fan in game , it will have no effect on his farts

Also I think it is incredibly inconsiderate to assume that everyone can afford a fan in their mech :colbert:

So I'm guessing the best way to sealclub myself to rank 5 (or to keep my rank down) would be to use unmodified urbanmechs on a consistent basis?
Or should I also deploy metal babies?

All I need are 2 more wins, and 11 more Kill Most Damages. Anyone got tips? This is miserable. I've only got the trial Stormcrow.

Did you take a faction or are you freelancing?
i.e. can you go IS or are you locked in clans?
What are the current trial mechs for the factions? For scouting purposes i mean.
Do you have the dough to buy a clan medium?

Locked in clans. Arctic Cheetah, Shadow Cat, Stormcrow, Mist Lynx.

Doesn't matter though I'm done now!

Will still take advice though.

From that lineup, cheetah is probably best choice for scouting if you know ho wto handle that thing.
The trial crow is horribly configured, the cat is a nice sniper but not of great use in 4v4 where it comes down to close-up and personal brawls 99% of the time.

Glad you did it, i still need 4 more wins and 15 intel to get this done, because thanks to the mighty griffins i got drawn ito scoutings.

Cheetah isn't great for getting the Kill Most Damage Assistance challenge. That ended up being my final roadblock.

Im confident ill churn out 4 wins this evening, but i dont feel well at the prospect of taking a turbo-light to farm the missing intel.
Basically fucks the other 3 guys over. I reported that spider for "helping the enemy".

Nope!

Make sure to first strip them in the mechbay so you can sell off all the components or use them in other builds. :eng101:

Why does every vindicator build I look at not have PPCs? I thought the ppc heat on it was good but no one is using it. Am I bad, or is it the mwo community that is bad?

Blackjacks, Hunch IICs, Hellbringers. I've been having fun with Novas if you can stand playing an ambush-only medium.

The PPC build is bad, so people try other things, only to learn that the Vindi is even worse when it's trying to do anything else.

I have found a fun way to play when dropping on a long tom planet in CW. Bring a PB, Cicada, Jenner and a 80 kph Warhammer, convince some other pubbies to go light, swarm the other team to get long tom smoke on them, then run as they get blown up and then let their tears wash over you as they whine.

You need metal babbies or something faster if you want to get any cbills or die quickly enough. Urbanmechs are just too slow to charge into the enemy spawnpoint and get murdered by 12 reds.

After watching some more competitive videos, especially in 0.25 speed, their mechs seem to have an uncanny ability to have their aim-circle jump between hitboxes without really travelling the space between them.
Also it seems quite easy to stay exactly on the legs of a cicada jumping from cover into cover while getting hammered by screenshaking autocannon fire.
Im sure this is all skill and im just bad.
