Someone in here mentioned Griffin + SRMs so I bought one and put 4 x SRM 6s on it and it brawls with the best of them.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Griffin + ECM + 4SRM6 is brutal

If you downloaded a game and played it for a predetermined amount of time just to write a bad review there's more than likely something wrong mentally.

The biggest "tip" for piloting an assault is to just play one for hours. I can sit here and talk about situational awareness and poo poo but you only get that through dying over and over. If you're not learning a lesson each time you die, you're not dying hard enough.

So I just got this game - are there any benefits to sticking in your starting RVN-3L(C), other than it being free, and a piss easy robot to drive around in, shooting at other extremely bad/new pilots? There seems to be a cheevo for winning your first matches in a cadet mech, is it worth it?

How good is the +30% XP modifier?

Cadet bonus is crazy worth it, save up and you essentially get a free mech of your choice at the end. Sign up for the email newsletter too for a free week of premium time so you get even more c-bills

edit: also the cadet bonus applies to all of your first few matches, it is not dependent on the mech you are piloting

Anyone here using ER-PPCs?
Ive tried them on nearly every mech i could, but i just cant become friends with them.
I never feel like they do any notable damage, at least nothing that a solid autocannon wouldnt do with much more satisfying sound?

PPCs, ER or otherwise, are terrible. Use large pulse lasers instead.

Also goddamn this game needs a replay function. Something popped the left leg and all of the right leg's armor off on my Spider on a Frozen City match, leaving me with one LPL, a bunch of jump jets, and a 40 km/h top speed. I dug through the rear armor of a Warhammer and cored it, kept limping to skirmish a bit with a Mad Cat, limped into cover and then dug through the side of an XL-engined Catapult, and found myself at the end of the match. My Spider about to fall apart and one damaged Shadow Cat versus the Mad Cat from earlier who was still in largely yellow-ish condition but without any rear CT armor. Walked over to a building while the Shadow Cat ran distraction, got behind the Timberwolf and... poo poo, it turned. Some-the-gently caress-how it didn't kill me after shooting once, and I called in an airstrike and kept shooting at the front CT to expose it. It died. Spiders loving own.

I use bandicam for all my MWO recording needs

the trial version only lets you record 10 minutes at a time but most quickplay matches don't last that long

hopefully

Can confirm this. I'm not brand-new, but for whatever reason when I came back after probably a year or more of not playing I found myself in tier 5. Now I'm not a great player by any stretch, but I still get to feel like a God-drat hero in about 50% of matches. Kind of regretting the fact that I'm now right on the cusp of moving up to 4.

Don't worry, there are still plenty of idiots in tier 4

What do people think about the BAP? I basically never see it on builds posted in here but I kind of like it. The ability to detect/target shutdown mechs is fairly pointless but the other stuff it does is pretty nice. Countering ECM in particular is sometimes a real godsend in pub matches, where people are poo poo at finding and fighting off ECM lights.

I like BAP + sensor range module on my shadowcat. Look for high ground and rake in the sweet, sweet scouting bonuses

locust 1v doesn't need the machine guns anyway, a single LPL plus the 50% energy cooldown quirk makes it a pew pew machine

griffin-2n is one of my favorite mechs

fast, tough, stealthy brawler that'll spew SRMs at anything unlucky enough to get within range

the time to kill with short range missiles is really good now so I highly recommend it

edit: you'll want to go with 4 SRM4 + Artemis for optimal missile delivery

Decided that I actually kind of liked the look of that free Hellbringer I got for giving PGI money so I messed around with it slightly to keep the same general aesthetic - removed the SRM and ammo, switched out for the ECM omnipod, kept the two LBX 10s, and fitted it with 3 medium lasers. It's most definitely not the ideal way to set the thing up but I took it out for a test drive and gently caress it, it was fun and satisfying enough to stick with.

how much ammo did you manage to cram on that?
