If you have ATMs or LRMs, be agressive, don't try to indirect fire. I am seeing some crazy numbers for damage from aggressive boats.

Saving LRMs by making them more like MRMs?

Forest Colony Classic sucks and I want it to be removed. Didn't play the Corsair enough to say if it is good or bad yet but it looks really cool. Everyone ran massive amounts of AMS yesterday so haven't felt the LRM changes yet.

As a long time King Crab idiot I support all builds that use 6xAC2/UAC2, provided you run some hotkey tool to get a proper chainfire going. UAC2 builds especially can be hilariously hit or miss, sometimes RNGeesus is with you and you just hose down any idiot standing in the open, other times you get a second of dakka until half of your guns jam.

The patch yesterday has hosed direct fire missile weapons, as well as LRMs to some degree. ATMs has survived to a greater degree somewhat. AMS now hits SRMs and MRMs and the missiles' decreased HP means that AMS is now very effective. 1 AMS from 200 meters away will destroy roughly 40% of a MRM40 volley. A clan streak 6 from 200m away will lose 90%+ of its missiles. Artificer fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Mar 21, 2019 |

So apparently since they nerfed my beloved ATM's rather than buffed them, I guess I will have to work on ballistic boating. are 4 AC5's better than 6 ac2s? Been a while since I dove into the full ballistic meta mechanics.

Been a while since I dove into the full ballistic meta mechanics. But they did buff them, at least the velocity. For autocannons it depends on the mech you want to play. The CP-S with 4xuAC/5s is hard to beat. MX90 with 5xAC/5s is a classic. WHM-BW with 2x/AC5, 2xuAC/5 VEry Nice. 2xAC/20 jaeger is deadly. AC/2s are kinda meh in my homo opinion, maybe if you want to run a king crab or direwolf but why would you want to do that. With all the lurm assaults and corsairs running around I've been playing mostly my CGR-1A5 brawler.

Surprise Giraffe posted:4 x UAC 5 on a Mauler 1P can be excellent, especially if you get some mouse macros going You don't need a macro for uAC/5's. Just bind all weapons to both mouse buttons and mash. Mashing also works for uAC/2s in the DRG-5N but if you are planning on bringing out the DWF-UV then I would say that a macro would improve your damage output, but really macros are for losers

honestly have super low expectations of mw5 being basically a random mission generator giving my robot (and up to 3 friends) a shooting gallery to grind for new robots. but i just wanna stomp around in cool robots and not have to deal with pubbies and play all the bracket/lore builds i want so hey thats fine by me

Artificer posted:That is the slowest firestarter I've ever seen in my life. Another person whos brain has been ruined by the LFE's. I am guessing the Firestarter build looks something like this: FS9-H Dont just stick LFEs on all your mechs, they have their place but just like you dont go and stick XLs on everything you dont put LFEs on everything. For anyone that is wondering you put XLs on all your lights because speed is armor and there is no point in running around with a single torso in a light. Mediums also get XLs in my homo opinion but heavies do not unless they are super cool like the WHM-6D and WHM-BW. The only assault with an XL I know about is the BLR-2C with 5xLPL, I've switched the VTR-9S and CP-S over to LFE's. EoRaptor posted:Am I posting too many videos?

TjyvTompa posted:Another person whos brain has been ruined by the LFE's. I switched my CP-S to a standard engine for the UAC/5 build. After losing a side torso and instantly overheating three times in two days, I decided going a little slower was acceptable. That doesn't include the time I was shut down, lost my side torso, and powered up only to instantly overheat and shut down again (I died). TjyvTompa posted:I don't mind but maybe you got some hot clips of a certain someone showing off his sweet moves, just a suggestion. Peacelock got his DVR software working, so he can post his own videos. Despite 'Lurmpocalypse III - The LRMening' fears, the recent missile changes actually make AMS more worthwhile. Normally this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPs_X6bL6Yg would have been fatal. With just a few teammates worth of AMS, it became very survivable. I don't even have any of the AMS skills.

New sale "Nice lance bro": https://mwomercs.com/news/2019/03/2258-nice-lance-bro-mech-sale 4 IS Chassis (1 of each Weigh Class) Flea Vulcan Thanatos Fafnir 4 Clan Chassis (1 of each Weigh Class) Incubus Black Lanner Hellfire Blood Asp Dates: Sale Starts: March 29th 00:00 UTC Sale Ends: April 3rd 00:00 UTC Pretty fun mechs, at least the Vulcan and Hellfire. VL-5T: 5xMPL, JJs, its like a bigger WLF-2 but with JJs, very good, a real sleeper mech, get this. VL-2T: 2xuAC/10 pretty fun, good mounts. BLOODLUST: 2xSRM4, 2xSRM6, it's very similar to the assassin. HLF-A: https://mech.nav-alpha.com/#38fb3411_HLF-A One of my favourite mechs, it packs a big punch, goes fast with MASC and it looks cool. Get this. BAS-D: Pop the popcorn in style with 3xuAC/5, 1xuAC10, super high mounts, pretty cool. Omnimech so you can do it with any chassis but the -D comes with everything you need, just like in real life. Thanatos...I've seen people do ridiculous things with the stealth dual gauss one. One guy kept hiding "inside" dead mechs, loving impossible to get him, very impressed. Fafnir can also be good, dual heavy gauss, quad uAC/5s, there are better mechs for both those builds though. Do not get the Incubus or Black Lanner, you will regret this, or not, maybe you like them, in which case go for it, you weirdo. TjyvTompa fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Mar 29, 2019 |
