It's a fun mech but it still suffers from having liken the largest torso hitboxes in the game, sadly.

Anyone else having hit detection issues? My pings usually 20-95 but it seems like hits that connect dont always register. This is when firing the faster autocannons or itano circus-sized missile volleys so that might contribute.
(Possibly im just bad.)

It's sort of generally suspected that projectile hit registration is still buggy.

You don't want a Cent 9 AH. Its trash. get a Cent 9A or a 9AL. 9A is good because it can rocket punch things to death with 3 SRM6s and the AL is good because you can stick a bunch of pulse or large lasers on it and then laser things with the quirk.

You can fit 3x UAC5 2x UAC10 (or 4 UAC10s) on that mech and still not have heat problems, I don't know why you'd put 6 AC2s on it.

6 UAC2/6 small ER Dire is the mech I've recently used to break my personal best record for both damage and solo kills in pubbie matches, 1495 and 7 respectively. Last night I used it to do hilarious things like effectively suppress the entire enemy team in the spaceport from the very far edge of upper city on River City, and a couple matches later on Tourmaline I killed two scouting lights that were dumb enough to stack up on a mountain 936m away in the span of about 4 seconds. It's a fun novelty build that can actually do some serious work if you know how to position yourself and stay out of medium-range engagments with a lot of facetime, it melts stuff at long range and the quick-cycling 36 pinpoint damage laser group I use to back up the AC2s inside 200m isn't something to ignore at close range. Sure a splatlas or the dire builds you named could probably beat it in a flat-out brawl but if you do your job whatever popped around the corner and killed you should at least be cored out for the guy behind you, and if you catch those mechs out in the open at long range they can't do much (if anything) to you in return

With range modules those 6 UAC2s do max damage out to 891m with excellent falloff and a double-tap of those guns does almost as much damage as dual gauss with an optimal range over 300m longer. Sure it's situational but so are most good mechs like brawlers, and if you're a good shot it can rip anything apart at ranges long enough that most mechs can't even really damage you back

The only nice thing about this free Cent is that you can actually sell it, unlike the two that are stripped and just taking up loving space in my mechbays.

So I was gone from this game when the dark ages hit and just got back in. What the gently caress my old rear end PCGamer skin doesn't work on OmniMechs. Jeez PGI, you're the worst.

I have to tell friends I get into this game repeatedly that Champs are a fuckwaste and only spend MC on poo poo that will get you more cbills. Even if it is 50 percent off, its stupid and don't do it.

I've been doing CW today because matches happened pretty rapidly and gently caress it, cbill gains are good, and after my last two I'm convinced that TCAF folks are immense cowards who won't spearhead a push to save their lives/win a game. Games went pretty drat good until I ended up dropping with them twice in a row.
