Cyrano4747 posted:It has better acceleration and turning than the ebon jag. The Jag still came out OK, but the hellbringer came out better. It also has better mount geometry for most builds. Personally I think the hit boxes are a bit better, but that's subjective. They're both good mechs, but the maneuverability of the HBR is just really, really good. ECM is also still good and worth investing the points in. Uhh, I think you might be looking at the wrong mech, or maybe skilled vs. unskilled? The HBR and EBJ have the exact same mobility stats; both are 22.23/25/47.55/85.5. Their mounts are also very comparable, requiring about the same exposure to fire... aside from the crappy arms on the HBR, but nobody puts guns in those so they don't count. I'll agree that the HBR slightly has better hit boxes as its 'nose' is a little prominent, but the EBJ benefits from having a lower profile so I think even that is a wash. The biggest difference between the two mechs is ECM and pod space. The EBJ uses Endo, Ferro to the double Standard on the HBR, giving it 3 extra tons to work with. Before the skill tree, the edge went to the HBR because ECM was worth the 4-ton difference but now that you also need 13 skill points to fully utilize ECM I'd rather drive a Jag unless ECM is specifically what I'm looking for.

Yeah, my bad on that. I still think the HBR is slightly better due to the ECM (which is worth 13 skill points) and better mounts, but it's close enough that I'm not going to argue over it.

I like the small pulse boat, but it pisses me off that you can't optimize it without the Redline pods.

I notice the Hellbringer and the EBJ don't have any aside from the 2.5% exp bonus, whereas the Linebacker has quite a few that look useful. They don't even have the 2.5% since that's the "set bonus" for using a variant's full set of Omnipods, which is something you're almost never going to do. Quirks on Clan Omni's are weird because in addition to those set bonuses they can also have baseline quirks on various individual Pods. You can tell which are which by going into the mechlab and mousing over the various components. The EBJ and HBR don't have any baseline quirks, while Linebackers get a smattering of bonus armor on their various bits. As for how much it matters... well, mechs usually have quirks because they're inferior to their competition and in the case of the Linebacker that extra armor doesn't make up for the Jag and Hellbringer just being generally better robots.

Agrajag posted:Can someone tell me how I can play scouting matches? Go to your drop deck manager and slot any IS mech up to 55 tons into one of your scouting drop decks, then go to the faction warfare screen and pick scouting rather than invasion. If you don't have a mech of the appropriate wait, the Griffin 2N or 3M rigged with SRMs is the default IS scouting mech. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Jun 13, 2017 |

Yeah there are enough people playing solo queue invasion right now that it's not that horrible a prospect to finish the achievement. e: If you play siege right now IS is on the defensive so I won my first two matches, clan is real bad at pushing and brawling at the bottlenecks so it's pretty stacked in your odds.

I did three matches since I got home, all siege, and just got stomped. Doing over 2K damage per round with a hefty number of kills, but that only goes so far when your team just stands in the open getting LRMd to death. I don't have any more time to try, so all well. It's only 100MC, so it's not that bad. I just wish that this particular challenge went for 2 days and over the weekend, rather than 1 day.

It alternates, doesn't it? I know that I was on attack when I finished the challenge. If you was lucky enough to get defense twice den grats to ya. Edit: I'm saying it's impossible or anything, but IS on siege attack has got to be the lowest win rate map in faction play. Oh wait, here are the stats for Tukayyid 3: Siege Attack win vs Defender win for Clans vs IS
That's a 33% difference between factions while on the attack, which is pretty steep. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 09:04 on Jun 16, 2017 |

Going by the traits page there is a staggering amount of bonus armor on that K-9 Urbanmech. +20 CT on a light? Okay. I mean I get it. Nobody wants to play lights anyway.

Yeah, but the R60 has poo poo hardpoints. The other Urbies have a much more reasonable +10 CT armor, which is what I'd expect the K-9 to have. If it does end up with +20 then it'll be one mean little trashcan. Edit: And while we're at it, I'm a little salty that the Wolfhound hero doesn't use Clan tech.

Where are you finding the quirks for unreleased mechs? Edit: Oh, they're on the news pages. And holy poo poo, the K-9 does have the R60's armor quirks. That thing might actually be a non-joke good light. It's still a little slow, but those quirks are massive. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Jun 16, 2017 |

I guess I missed it when I looked earlier, but yeah the K-9 is the best Urbie by a mile now and I could see it messing some people up with an AC/10 and bunch of MLs. Maybe even 5 MPLs, but those ballistic quirks are pretty sweet too.Atlatl posted:I'm curious to see how the grasshopper is with all those armor quirks. Unfortunately, I don't think it has enough high laser mounts to run the 3lpls that really give the grasshopper its oomph. The second side torso mounts are probably shoulder level like on the other GHR's, but everything else is along the waistline. Shame that the CT energy is right in its belly-button.
