Just whatevers fun right now. I wanted to go Clans for MUH LORE but King Crab isn't a clan mech, so.

Centurion is shit overall. Oversized, massive side torsos so can't really do XLs well.

Pick literally any other IS medium.

Also this >>127976871
Cents are terrible and pretty guaranteed to not survive any battle

>>127977242
Hmm, misconception.

They have great torso twist, a decent amount of hardpoints, and the ability to shield arm on that left side. It's a great mech to learn how to spread damage in, and can work with a variety of loadouts from close to long range and everything in between.

no it's not the most meta thing, but it's a good training, or all around mech.

>>127977367
No it's pretty accurate. Yeah you can use it to learn to use the left arm as a blocker but you'll want to ditch that thing as soon as possible. No matter what you plan to run in it there are other IS mechs that can do it better. Expect possibly pure brawler on the AH. Even that is debatable.

There's two variants with specific builds that sort of work for the Centurion and that's the YLW with AC20 2xML and AL with stuff like 3xLPL.

Every other build ranges from mediocre to absolutely terrible. That includes the ASRM18 build due to being huge, squishy and short ranged. Or maybe I should go back to the Mechwarrior Academy and contemplate upon the fundamentals of torso twisting.

>>127977657
>>127977769
Eh, fair.

I have fuzzy memories of the CN9, but you're pretty much right.

I'll concede the point.

>>127973360
One of these days, jumpjet quirks will be implemented and Pinpoint will be replaced with a jumpjet skill.

My 2 cents says the best way the devs could keep this game going as a money bag for them is implement the single player campaigns with option for co-op. Like, up to 12 man co-op. Big long multi map campaigns.
And you could earn exp and c-bills for use in normal multiplayer this way too (perhaps less or more then standard play)
The revenue steam could come from "expansion packs" or whatever they wana call it. You buy new campaign packs when they come out, and say after 6 months or a year they're free to buy with cbills or plain free.
Something like that would keep plenty of people happy for years.

What do ballistics bring to the table anyways? As someone using a ballistics oriented mech, I always feel kinda cvcked when I watch the strobe shows that extend half the map and meanwhile I have to slide into brawling range to use my ballistics.

>>127986856
Instant, pinpoint damage. Provided that you're using IS ones. Usually little to no heat. In TT you had alternate ammo types.

That's about it. Some ballistics can have good DPS with cooldown QWIRKS, too.

>>127987103

>instant pinpoint damage

Keeping ballistic weapons trained on one spot on a moving mech is ridicilously hard.

>>127987228
Depends on what robot you're playing and shooting at with what ballistic. Your mounts, velocity + velocity quirks, etc.

Robots are really slow overall, leading targets is not hard.

>>127977657
>>127977769
>>127978190
I don't think any other mechs has shotgun vomit quirks like the CN9-D. It's fun for bullying lights and obliterating criticals (1dmg per pellet doesn't matter if you smash them with 50+), but you do have serious ammo problems.

Here's how the PGI branded flamer actually works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRd48z4RU9c

They only do anything if the target hits override.

>>127994802
wait as long as it is hitting nothing, the heat wont go up ?!

>>127995876
no, the heat it generates (and transmits) depends on the current heat level

so the most effective way to use them is if you have a super heat neutral build, and just keep your heat at 80% the whole match.

since you only give 1/3 the heat away compared to yourself, you are relying on the fact the enemy has to be at least 3 times as hot as you...

>>127994418
the kevin bot doesn't work with ui 2.0, so you'll have to make a new one.

second problem is that you make jack shit from botting that way

third problem is that you are highly likely to get reported

Seriously. And I'm a missile-lobber lover.

You see "incoming"?

Go to cover.

You're too slow to get there before the spread damage actually kills you?

You've made a critical mistake in going into some huge-ass open spot with zero cover and no speed.

Seriously, I can put a few 100 missiles into a target. Unless it's wounded, it won't go down, especially if it's moving.

Mastering the Shadow Hawk was pure suffering. The 2H I kept and eventually stole a max dps crit vomit build and used to great effect, but the other variant I picked up was a 5M because it was on sale and I was so space poor I basically ran it stock. Never. Again.

Hunchie on the other hand was okay-ish, the 4J and 4P are minimally viable.

So, where do I get the aimbots for this game?

So what's the most satisfying light? I just did up close H&R with the trial Raven, so I switched over to the Arctic Cheetah, much nicer although it ran a little hot for my tastes.
What should I buy in terms of an actual light mech? Close range, high alpha harassment, get out when they finally see me. If I stop, I'm dead.

>>128088963
Firestarter
Arctic Cheetah is a 5 ton lighter Firestarter 2.0 with ECM

ACH does run hot but quirks help. You should also fuck off after a few alphas to cool down.

Firestarter is pretty good right now. If you want to do range poking then a couple of the raven variants have good quirks for that.

Attacking in CW seems an auto-loss.

Damn, I'm going to spend more converting the Firestarter to DBL HS, Ferro and Endo than the chassis cost.

I wanted an MG boat so I made one. Armor distribution might not be optimal and I'm not sure if BIG DICK ENGINE is the best either but it looks like it'd work for shits and giggles. I tried the armament+heatsinks in the heat sim and it did 280 damage (14DPS) in 18 seconds before it overheated. I do welcome any improvements, the only core part is the 6MGs.

Is it bad to mix weapons per weapon group? I'm thinking about going with a medium laser and medium pulse laser in each arm of my Hunchback.

No you don't understand, I fully expect this build to be combat viable. I fully expect to waltz my 58KM/H King Crab right into someones face (blasting them with LPLs as I close the gap) before smashing them to pieces with SRMs and MGs.

I'm interested in getting a light, but I can't come up with a build with ballistic weapons that aren't MGs. Not enough tonnage for ammo and other nice things.

>>128170326
The question you should be asking is "does it need an XL engine?"

>>128170326
I'm too stupid to factor the actual mech costs into the equation, but smurfy runs my King Crab build at 14 mil C-bill and my Firestarter build at 9 mil C-bill.
Meanwhile a Kit Fox build I looked at was only 7.5 mil C-bill and supposedly the Kit Fox is an expensive clan mech.
So yeah, Firestarter is expensive.
It's my fault for picking a build that calls for a 295XL

mine has a 295XL and was around 9-10mil. I guess you mean expensive relative to the tonnage, then?

>>128172496
Four mil difference to outfit a 100 ton mech. That's 65 tons more. It's easily the most expensive light mech in the game, which is what matters. No point in comparing an orange to a watermelon.

>>128172993

>>128171272
"...and how many new guns need to be bought?"
Mechs that have a lot of hardpoints can quickly rack up costs when outfitting new loadouts and revisions.

I made the mistake of spending too much on my shiny new dakkawoof so I don't think I can make up the difference to buy a third before the sale ends. That's a lot of potential millions lost due to badly paced spending.

Might just barely be able to make it up with my money-bonus mechs though. Marauder always performed the best for me.

>>128180387
Don't matter that much since you need to get all three available king crabs anyway and they're fairly close to each other. If you wan't to dual ac20 brawl then the 000 has beter quirks. If you wanna be more like an atlas and mix ac20 with surms then the 000b has more missile hardpoints. But the atlas is the premier ac20+surms assault robot anyway so I would prefer the dual ac20s on the crab. It's made for that.

why is boar's head atlas shit?

>>128182730
Because it can't boat SRMs like god intended for Atlas mechs.

I originally liked the idea of AC20+6MLAS, but its just too fucking hot and comes with all the usual disadvantages of being in an Atlas.

>>128182730
It ain't shit as far as I know, it's fine.
AC20+mpulse is fine. Or large lasers for some more midrange are fine too on boar's head.

>>128183126
Don't spread lies that can cost people money.

>>128183282
I'm not spreading lies. Its the 3rd best atlas.
Wouldn't buy one though, its way to expensive. Shoulda added that.

So I'm trying to figure up the theoretical DPS for the UAC-20 when you're firing at maximum fire rate including jams. Mainly to see if I should be using it or an LBX-AC20 on a Brawling Executioner.

Last game I died because it jammed so it's making me question it.

Seems about right. People can't use their eyes to tell if its friendly or not they are too used to CoD, BF, or even CS that tells you when you are shooting a friendly

>>128189035
Worst I've done was in my light mech, I was paranoid as fuck from running and I blasted a friendly medium mech in the CT as he came around a corner. Luckily I was using lasers so I only did about half of my small salvo of lasers before I realized he was friendly and flicked my beams off of him. Still felt like an ass even though I probably only took like 4-6 armor off his CT, if that. At least he wasn't angry about it.

Medium mechs are the best and if you disagree you are wrong.

>>128192015
I disagree

>>128192015
Heavy mechs here

medium mechs are for poorfags

>sorry wut

The Catapult has the most fucking retarded missile tubes in the game. It gets these huge VCR looking boxes added on when you add more missiles.

What makes it even more retarded is that other mechs get super compact LRM launchers that can fit dozens and dozens of LRMs into a small space, while Catapult gets retard hueg boxes.

ARE YOU FEELING IT NOW MR KRABS?!

>>128208639
YES

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around CW. Do you need more than 1 Mech to participate in it?

>>128209285

Yes. You need four mechs. And if you are in an Innersphere faction, you can only use IS mechs, and if youa re in a clan faction you can only use clan mechs.

Also, if you arent in a premade group of at least 4+ people, you are going to get shitstomped by enemy premade teams, since they play alot of CW matches and theres no rules about team sizes and premades in CW.

>>128209484
Is there a maximum tonnage to what you're allowed to bring? I only actually know how to use Assault mechs. Or am I going to have to learn how to use different mechs to be any way decent at CW.

>>128209619

There's a tonnage limit that seemingly changes whenever Russ feels like it. You must bring at least X tons, but no more than Y.

It differs between clan and IS.

>>128209729
So if the tonnage changes and if I'm not mistaken you can only own 4 mechs without buying an extra mechbay, I'm kinda screwed if I don't get more mechbays?

>>128206597
pls respond.
How usefull is that CT jumpjet on the dire whale S?

>>128210237
CW earns you mechbays, take week long contracts and keep cycling through factions.

>>128210435
Helps you not get stuck on random shit and climb stuff.

You'll still jump better than the Highlander, which is funny when you think about it.
