Anyone else had an issue with vehicles having more armour and firepower than a Mech in 1.5 skull missions?

Found a Mechwarrior who has the male version of Glitch's lines. Conclusion: what makes you sound fun as a 23 year old woman has a very different effect when you're a 30 year old man.

eonblue174 posted:What would happen if evasion was more like shields in Halo, where it's a renewable defensive layer? My thought is that any hit against a mech removes an evasion pip but does no damage, and misses don't remove evasion at all? Then nobody would ever use a mech that couldn't mount missiles, because an LRM5 would strip all the pips with one shot. I'm finally fielding a lance over 300 tons, having got the You-Know-What, a Black Knight, a Battlemaster and a Stalker. LRM70 Stalker is horrible for heat - should I strip a couple of tons of armour for sinks? Meanwhile the BK is configured for Disco Inferno and coring anything up to 55T with a called shot, usually.

pangstrom posted:I loaded up my game to see what I did with the LRM Stalker. I did 2xLRM20 and 2xLRM10 (I had some LRM10++/+++ was part of why I bet), 4MLs, and heat sinks. I think thread consensus would be to swap the MLs for more missiles and/or heat sinks. You can also take the special ones from the you-know-what, depending on what you did with it can run too cool if anything. I still have it in stock config. Not figured out what to do with it yet.

Organ Fiend posted:2x AC20, 6 tons ammo, 3x jump jets, and rest into heatsinks works really well. For KC or Highlander? My best Highlander build has a wad of lasers and 20 tubes of SRM at minimum ++. With a bit of luck it can core a 65T Mech with one hit. I also combined it with my Original Night Stalker LRM build to get the Double Kill achievement on two fresh 60Ts. I didn't even know that existed.

And Tyler Too! posted:So I installed a mod that quintuples my mission payout because the recursive loop of damaged mech > repair > injured pilot > replacement merc > wait forever > financial report > mission > repeat is the loving worst. This game is super punishing early on. I don't want to be a loving accountant, I want to stomp poo poo in my giant robots. The game is fun now! There is an alternative solution, which is learning to play. I had similar problems to you early on, at one point I had to drop morale to Spartan for six months to keep the lights on. Then I sussed out how to play a bit better, my pilots stopped getting injured for months at a time, my Mechs stopped taking such severe damage, and before I knew it I was rolling in cash.

Cobbsprite posted:Yup, this is right. No matter how much stability damage you do, you can't knock it down in one hit. With the exception of Locusts. I believe you can also knock a mech over with one hit if it's lost a leg, but they may count as Unsteady.

Klyith posted:IIRC the defender class AI would move into cover even when that was a strict downgrade in defense, so I don't know if they even took old bulwark into account with their decisions. The AI has absolutely become stupider. The last six missions my Commander has gone on, every single enemy attack has been aimed at them regardless of other considerations until their mech is destroyed. I've seen enemies ignore primary targets in Defend Base missions, ignore my mechs in open ground with two pips to shoot my commander in cover with five pips - sometimes they'll even sprint to get my commander in range rather than shoot a mech that is within range - and run straight past my other mechs and leave themselves open to backshots. I've even seen mechs literally not act at all for six rounds while I blew up the rest of their lance, then activate and attack the instant my commander comes into their LOS.

Just caught the game blatantly cheating. Opfor has a King Crab, which obviously I want. I'm at full morale and everyone has Called Shot Mastery. I put my first two AC/2 precision shots into the head to put it at 1 structure. Then either I missed the head completely with my next 15 precision shots and over 80 missiles, or the head stops taking damage.

Just saw a bug where a downed Highlander moved without standing up. It was definitely still down, my next mech got a free called shot on it. Also it was hilarious to watch as the mech span around on its back and went down hill like the world's biggest sledge.
