Skoll posted:Hunchback IIC was originally something they just threw aging warriors in to go die, so yeah, why design good visibility for an expendable mech and pilot? Dual UAC/20 was a beast though. For the 2.5 rounds you could fire it (10 'shots' of ammo for 2 guns that fired double-speed  )

Feindfeuer posted:Now I have to re-download it on steam, or I'll not be able to post a review. Don't you also have to play a game for 2 hours before you can review it now?  I kind of feel like PGI should farm out their engine and art assets for someone else to do MW5 or something, they'd make a decent bit off of that I bet.

Oh I know, I can't wait for a proper (ie, turnbased) BT game, but a cockpit stompy robot game is its own niche that we could use another one of.  Just use PGI assets and pull a MW4 and use a bunch of FMV of dudes in space-1980s gear.

At least when you press / to open your Centurion's missile bays they don't make your mech 2 meters taller so you're that much easier to hit (That Archer looks dope as hell, although if they're going to do a hero version they should have gone with Jaime Wolf's mech instead of some random 'Tempest' thing  )

Beet Wagon posted:That Archer looks gorgeous. March is going to be an LRM nightmare. gently caress that, I wonder if you can fit SRM54 on one  (Probably 8xSRM4/6 would be more likely, gives you 4 launchers on each mouse button, coincidentally getting around Ghost Heat as long as you don't spaz out) But yeah, if I had a game-capable internet connection right now I'd be sorely loving tempted because it's a loving Archer, and I love me some Unseen.

That Italian Guy posted:9 missile weapons means a ton of ammo...on a brawler that is not an Atlas. If you compromise and do SRM4 instead of SRM6 (do 4s still fire in tighter groups than 6s?) then a single ton of ammo should give you 25 salvos for a single launcher. That's probably 'enough' for a match although you may run out if you somehow last until the end...

TVDinna posted:The Archer with 9 missile points has one in the chest. Chest points can only fit 2 slots so that one at best is SRM4 with Artemis or SRM6 without Artemis, and Artemis is all or nothing , probably only going to be fitting SRM4 on that slot :\ 9xSRM6 would probably be too heavy anyway, considering you also need armor, ammo, and an engine big enough to get around with. 8xSRM4 (and maybe Artemis) is probably going to be the go-to I bet.

SoftNum posted:What does Artemis do, liek in the context of MWO Tightens the spread, like the choke on a shotgun. No-Artemis SRM6 might splash all over, but with Artemis you'd be more likely to get all/most of the missiles to hit the same location, or like CT and LT instead of literally all over. I think it makes LRMs lock faster or something, but who cares aabout LRMs

I don't know why I'm still bitching, will never stop doubling down on their bad decisions, but trying to turn MWO into a lovely glorified FPS is all they're interested in.At this point I'm more interested in modding XCOM2 with BT assets while waiting for the actual good BT game to get finished.

Stringbean posted:I believe you when it comes to the original iterations of battletech. They do look like they could be some form of future ordinance a military would come up with. Which is neat. Well you also have to realize that new mech designs were intended to sell miniatures for the table-top game. And they couldn't be boring generic most-efficient designs (see: Hellstar) because then there'd be no reason to use (and by extension, buy) those mechs. If TT designs were based on being efficient, we'd have a lovely MWO-type situation there.

Great Beer posted:Why go slow when you could go fast Yeah I just switched a to 180STD, 2xMPL, 4xMG, 4xJJ setup. 97kph, just about max armor, can lose both torsos (and indeed I ended up a walking popsicle in the first match I played) and 6k MG ammo seems like plenty. Range kind of sucks, but you're in an urby, you either want to be poking at extreme ranges or vulturing wounded mechs up close. And I just like not falling apart when I lose a torso.

They did a poll a while ago of people who had bought it to ask if they should be able to start selling it again and got an overwhelming NO. Doesn't stop them from doing it but it wouldn't be the smartest move. Well of course if you poll the people who actually bought the pack they going to say 'gently caress no nobody else should be able to buy what I bought' because people in general are shitlords.
