Yeah I did 2x UAC10++ 2x LB10X++ with plenty of ammo, extra armor and double heat sinks. If it doesn't blow the head off it just kind of chews everything to pieces. Jump jets are kind of dumb on it because it only takes 2, which means it jumps as far as it walks I think.

The real benefit to mounting JJs on assaults isn't for the distance you travel, but so you can easily position yourself with whatever side has the most armor facing the enemies. Just replying on nomral movement restricts what your facing can be and sometimes being able to move even a short distance and whip around 180 degrees is a huge boon.

Lots and lots of ballistic damage is the name of the game because of its unique system so just load it down with the big dakka and balance out the heat as needed.

How come in all the recent Annihilator build pictures, no one is using heat exchangers? It would seem that with 2 UAC20s (plus extra stuff), a heat exchanger is more efficient than a regular heat sink. Or am I missing something?

They're really good if you Always Alpha, which you should I have like five in my speedrun campaign though lmao. A shitload of heat bank+s too which actually aren't as useful as I thought they'd be.

Just replying on nomral movement restricts what your facing can be and sometimes being able to move even a short distance and whip around 180 degrees is a huge boon. Also backing up cuts the distance you can move walking, while jump jets can go as far backwards as forwards. Plus avoiding terrain. I've had mechs that could only fit 2 jump jets, but I still had them just to hop up or down cliffs etc. And many more where I probably *should* have dropped a jump jet in favor of 1 more heatsink. But the extra move distance is by no means a small benefit, it's hard to get flanks at 95u moves. OTOH an annihilator doesn't need flanks.

Yeah I feel like jumpjetting everything is one of the things that makes my team the cool Gundam team and everyone else a bunch of zaku scrubs. They're only a liability or trade off until they let you do that one super cool maneuver which saves the day.

3X UAC5 ++, 2x UAC2 ++ - just sits at the back of the field with Tactics 9, popping heads off of almost everything. Just completed the campaign. There's an achievement for having Dekker survive and it brought a genuine smile to my face.

Also how I learned about 20% of people who buy the game finish the campaign, which is probably pretty in line with most strategy campaigns, I guess. After all, I've owned the game since basically launch, but took a big ole break for nearly a year or so.

Dekker ate poo poo in my game when my lance of mediums got stuck in between 2.5 lances of lights and mediums. Still the most difficult mission I've had, probably because I went "water? I should stay in it so I can fire more" while neglecting any cover.

Oh neat, I did one of those lance battle mission types where your employer sends a lance to help you with the enemy heavy lance. The employer was the Restoration - Kamea landed to help out instead! Though she said her superiors told her to lol. Darius noted we were under "no obligation" to keep her alive lmao thank you Darius e: She didn't bring her Kintaro or Atlas though

Holy poo poo someone updated BTMLColorLosMod for 1.8! A month ago! And I never saw it until now. Also, is there a way to override a save that is marked as unloadable due to changed mods? In this case I know it will work fine, I was testing a thing that makes zero changes to game state. But I now have a save I made career progress in while testing that can't load unless I re-add the mod.

Had a 3 star mission where I was helping some other mercs take on two lances of mechs in a city. The cash payout was really high, so I went full cash. Second mech I see is an Annihilator, and I manage to headcap it with my Griffin. There was also an Archer -2S that I accidentally headshot. With 1/5 salvage. Moral of the story is Always Full Salvage.
