I've been using the double xp thing to finish out some of the locust line. People are really, really bad at protecting themselves from the locust and you can easily kill several assaults and heavies while solo dropping with a small pulse laser locust by legging them.

People tend to not take leg hits seriously even though most people under-armor their legs and store ammo in them. I think it helps that leg hits register as front hits so they might not even realize you're shooting them.  IIRC it's usually a faster TTK on most Clan `Mechs if you leg them. At max armor they break even with pure CT hits in amount of damage taken and it's easy to damage nothing but a leg. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Nov 27, 2016 |

Rysithusiku posted:pubbies are bad. ive watched a timber wolf walk right through the middle of a half dozen enemies unharassed, never mind an ecm light. Yeah, I got reminded of that today when I watched someone targeting an enemy mech behind a massive stone wall, turning around and shooting into the rock. I mean, if a mech is hundreds of meters away and missiles and laser beams are crossing the sky, I could understand accidentally shooting a mech behind cover. But dude, you were standing right next to the wall you were trying to melt down!  A nice trick I learned: Since in tier 4 not many people are watching the sky, I got two kills (one each) by basically just jumping backwards with my mechs and avoiding missiles raining down on me that way. I killed someone in my Crab during a really messy melee in the Forest colony -between trees, rocks, exploding missiles and laser blasts I couldn't see poo poo, but apperently one of my targets went down. For some reason no-one shot my head off the couple of times I could only avoid missiles by jumping. In the second case I just survived enough missile-salvoes I got to the end stage of the game and by pure blind luck one of my Cicada's lasers made the killing blow on a Stalker we hosed down with like half a dozen mechs. That match started out kind of awkward with tons of missiles landing on us from a far, but somehow we made it across River City until we were close enough to slowly whittle them down. Then there was a movie-like storm across one of the bridges to take down the last of them. Nice fruitful day, all in all. Of course I'm still poo poo enough my pilot rating went down after the last game was over, but gently caress it, it was fun.

Mechbays come for 2 a pop (300) in the store, right? IIRC it has a little 2 in the corner of the mechbay purchase menu. So with the sale coming it will be 2 mechbays for 150 mc?

If you plan on buying mechbays next weak it might be worth getting MC tonight. While this part of the sale goes on the ~$6 pack of MC gives you 1500 rather than 1250, which is enough for 10 bays.

Had just enough MC left over from the Black Widow purchase that I'm strongly considering the Locust bundle - 3 mechs, mech bays, and a month of premium isn't a bad deal for 2,548 MC. Just...can't decide if I want to do that or spend the MC on mech bays directly, because it's an either/or thing.

Double xp is funny, had a game in an IV4 where I killed 6 people solo kills and it gave me 15,000 experience. Being able to basic out a mech in one match is very convenient.

I was just the point man in my lance and we broke off from our team and flanked into the enemy team. We had me in an IV4, a jester, a jenner, and a trebuchet and we just rolled through and gutted anyone that we ran into. The IV4 has a 47% cooldown for ballistics when you have it elited and with a module, and you can fit two AC/10s onto it so it's able to put out a lot of damage quickly. I'm good at aiming so I was able to shoot things with XL engines in the side torsos to pop them, tear off clan side torsos, and kill things with standard engines by CTing them.

Yeah, it has some huge convergence issues while shooting and its hard points are way far out on the mech so you pretty much have to fully expose and face tank to bring damage to bear, but it's pretty good at putting out damage even if it can't play the peeking game too well. You can't even squeeze into tight spaces because one or both of your guns will shoot into the walls instead of the target that you're trying to shoot in front of you.

From the free MC I've accumulated over time & the sale, I can afford the 'Deaths Knell' Commando. Even though it's free, is it worth it? I've got enough mechbays already.

None of the Commandos are worth it well OK one of them used to have a 50% energy range bonus which made it a crazy ER Large sniper you can still kinda do that with good heat gen and duration quirks COM-1B

Yeah the IV4 is massively underrated, the quirks are pretty nutso on it. I never see them without seeing them do well. I guess the tradeoff is that the rest of the Quickdraws are ugly and boring and are 60 tons.

lowercase posting aside, the only thing I can see it has against it besides being at the bottom of a weight class is low arm mounts and being forced into an XL to make the most out of it. The double AC/10 commoners mentioned works really well with its ballistic quirks.

If you can bring its fire to bear it does well, but like I said before the arms are so extremely wide that you cannot be near a wall, you can't peek out of cover effectively, and you can't hill hump. The only thing it can do is face tank damage while trading it with the other target. It'll win against other heavies on a face to face trade if you are shooting accurately, but against anything heavier or something that can torso twist or take cover away from your fire it won't do as well. It's effective as a fire support mech.
