I've run into that a lot with the same mod with some, but not all, of the YAML added mecha. Reinstalling didn't fix it for me, so if you find a solution please share.

My friend and I started having similar issues when we installed mech delivery. The thing with the weight displaying incorrectly in particular happened in multiple places and I could put together some but not all mechs. Waiting for my deliveries to arrive and deactivating mech delivery fixed things in single player for me. Unfortunately it seems to have hosed up the save file somehow so both me and the friend I've been co-op-ing with can't access the mechlab in each other's saves anymore, nor can we see the mission config screen to ready up, so we have to join in mission. We're probably just going to install clan invasion for the goofy gear and start new saves tbh.

That reminds me, I wish urban missions would show before you launch whether or not "collateral damage" is a problem before you deploy. Do I need to go direct-fire only, or can I bring the Long Toms and commit war crimes?

I would think that the Kuritans hiring a mercenary company named “Chad’s Ares Conventions Violators” would fully understand what was going to inevitably happen.

I bring Long Toms to defense missions in MW5 and the only downside is the NPC commander screaming at me to stop shooting his buildings. Also the damage to said buildings I guess, but if I one-shot a mech demolishing the base then it's a win in the long run probably.

The big RT update is a bit of a dud imo Salvage update completely trivializes mech/gear acquisition. The tonnage based hit modifiers seems like a half-assed version of just making evasion more useful (and why is it harder for an Atlas to hit a skyscraper than it is for a locust?) The injury updates are whatever Much the same with the BA changes, tho I guess I'll concede it's a nice QoL change, but after the "you can't put special pilots in BA anymore" nerf it's not nearly as useful as it could have been. What do others think of Salvage 2.0?

Azhais posted:The big RT update is a bit of a dud imo Either I or you got something wrong, because I think it's the CTH against yourself that changes, so both Atlas and Locust can hit a building the same (plus the atlas has better heat dissipation). The BA thing is at least a wash IMO, it makes them more disposable as well. I quite like the changes to salvage, but then I've been playing on generous salvage so it's not that big of a change to me.

being playing megamek with a buddy using double blind and a lot of other rules We declare a point value roll a random selection of 10 mechs, pick what you want then get two rolls of 5 vehicles for left over points the remaining points go into skills or infantry It has caused us to get into much weirder matches His infantry blew apart a hip and a foot of one of my mechs, taking it out of the fight, then proceeded to head shot the prone mech

The way I read it it's -/+1 per 15 ton difference and that goes both ways. So if a dragon and atlas were shooting each other, the dragon would get +2 and the atlas would get -2 to hit. Buildings weigh 60 tons for the calculation.

I find the salvage change fine, but the weight accuracy difference change is awful and dumb

Buildings weigh 60 tons for the calculation. I think it's just to-be-hit rather than to-hit - I'm too lazy to check in game, but it should be visible in the modifiers when shooting. If anything bigger mechs should be easier to hit with, more stable firing platform etc.

BTA uses a weight differential hit difficulty modifier, easier for light mechs to pick apart big mechs, and harder for big mechs to tag lighter mechs.

In BTA light mechs are good, if they're moving they're very hard to hit without AOE weapons. Their limitation is they're not usually packing much firepower because they want to spend as much on engines as possible.

I usually run the starting cicada with a bunch of M lasers strapped on until I get a LAM. It works well, a good spotter for sniper mechs and very durable and mobile, can do a decent bit of damage with a laser volley too but can't match the output of a heavy mech alpha strike, nor concentrate its fire very well like heavier weapons.

Highly mobile backstabbers mostly. Or there's that super heavy lam that can transport other super heavies

Fantastic punchbots, better scouts than the Ostscout, very good backstabbers. Fragile, but if you equip them well enough to keep evasion at 8+, and run the 50 tonners that can take 1-2 good solid hits, you'll rarely lose them. Weapons selection is somewhat limited. Most of them only have energy or missile hardpoints, some have bomb racks (which are not worth anything).

Just be wary of getting too close to anything with jumpjets. I've lost LAMs because the AI decided the best way to deal with them was for it's 50 ton Battlemech to leap into the air and Five Star Frog Splash my rear end out of the sky.

I'm not sure a Bushwhacker is the best possible bang for it's weight but on the other hand MW3 was one of my favorite games as a kid so.... I don't remember it having such an Alien head profile tho lol

I picked up a couple of SCR-EE with the rotary LBX and those things can just straight up delete a lot of mechs. Not much ammo onboard, though.

It's like a cicada except faster and ignores terrain. Basically just a flat upgrade tbh. They're superb scouts and don't have to worry about orientation for firing their guns, so just zip them around and shoot stuff with them, basically free damage and visibility.
