Is the Banshee still secret tech? I find it interesting that it's a lot cheaper than the Stormcrow

its kinda underused, i hard ever see them in T2/T1 solo queue. what sites are there for good builds other than rak's and mechspecs?

edit: banshee is also really underquirked compared to some other IS assaults.

wolfhound is probably the better of the 2 except for the one with AMS quirks. enforcers are really good now, too.

Is there any reason as to why after not playing the game for a couple weeks I got my pilot skill rating dropped from 3 to 5 ?

meta it up and you could probably get a legit Death Star

by the way, the battlemaster 1s with 4LPL and a huge XL engine is still secretly the best IS mech in the entire game and nobody realizes it

metamechs barely put it on one of their tier lists today :ssh:

aiming isn't even hard in this game

FARTSTAR
Jun 28, 2004
cockpit shots are hard unless its a shutdown mech but you can take whatever mouse sensitivity other games require for 360 degree aiming, scrunch it into like 100 degrees of movement and still be good for armor rolling

edit: i use 400dpi and .15 sens in game

Yet some people feel compelled to pay a monthly fee to have a program do it for them.

In other news, I think the Griffin-2N is my new favorite robot.

EDIT: What's with the CTF-3L that's N/A for both C-Bill and MC cost on the Jump Around sale chart? Are they planning on releasing a Cataphract variant with MASC?

i think its been in the data files for awhile but they never actually planned on releasing it

TDR 5SS, TDR-9S(the one with LPL quirks), Quickdraw 4K, BJ-1X, BLR-1s(or any of them really) mix and match for tonnage requirements.

I'm hardly a top tier god amongst men kind of player but I'm pretty sure nobody is getting match scores of 4700 legit. I don't even know how you'd get that high with Helios.

Maybe if the opposing team was in on it and all stood still to let you farm points by shooting off each limb before the match timer expired.

sync dropping vs other farmers or peeps who dont care

edit: sean lang was like 3300 points on the WHM-6D leaderboard but his name got removed, 3700+ seems kinda bullshit even with the best builds unless theyre all cheesing group queue somehow

From the townhall:

All clan negative quirks are going to be removed

IS energy range quirks are to be capped at 10%

MASC is getting a huge buff

Stalker gets retrofit

Blackjacks getting their structure quirks toned down

Russ is kinda sloshed


RIP BLR-1S

So I've been loving around with the other Warhammers and have pretty decent builds for the 6D and 6R. I honestly have no idea what to do with the 7S though. I'm thinking something along the lines of this

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=384&l=a5b46beb4c44cce8c785425b93c890dc04c885e4

or possibly this

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=384&l=329201c0ad197a6fb3f8bc6eca8c838aa584ece8


The first one with SRM6+A x3 is what I ran on it. The 7S was the one I had the most trouble leveling and finding a good build for.

Which clan heavy should I buy. I have all the good ones, which leaves me looking at...

Summoner
Mad Dog
Orion IIC

Which can make a better gimmick build to putz around in?

MDDs can make splatdogs or spam LRM5 builds which are fun, summoner is kinda tanky and agile with jjs and can poptart pretty well. Orion IIC I have no idea, they dont have any quirks but look like they can take the most meta loadouts of the 3.

I like guns more than lasers but I would like to do both on different chassis. I guess that tips me towards the Warhams, but those structure quirks look real good on the BK.

you can do really well in the 6D xl 325 3xLPL 4xML or 2xMPL, the playstyle is more pokey than the BK since it cant tank like the BK. The other variants are cool but the 6D is really the best one.

i made a sound mod for weapons, theres some delay on it but its playable. anyone know how to get rid of the delays? using FMOD designer and 16 bit pcm 44100-48000hz tracks for the mod currently
I've tried to mess around with different formats but I got the delay issue as small as possible right now. I dont think any other weapon sound mods have delays so I have to be missing something.
