>streak missiles
What are these and how bad are they? I've never seen them in any build.

No seriously why do weapons converge on some middle of nowhere terrain under your crosshair rather than the enemy mech you have target locked?

Clan streaks are usable

>Laneblocker
>something something for cbills and something something for MC
>some minor quirkc changes that Sean 'the Shill' Lang alluded to but are totally unrelated to Octobers UAC changes.

Firestarter quirks when?

How much rear armor do you guys run?

For heavies/assaults I usually slim it down to 12pts. I figure that's enough for a mlas/mpls or srm6 backstab.

Honestly why does the Wolfhound even exist when the Raven 2X is the exact same thing except better in literally every single way?

>>158556882
Because source material.

The raven is a fragile electronic shenanigan mech, while the wolfhound is the rest of lyrans thinking max weapons and armor is the best design policy for every weight class.

The two best players are American brothers named Shaix and Whispers. They're both really chill, too. Harabec is probably third best followed by Boogeyman. Kakos isn't as hot as he thinks he is and when he does bad he immediately blames the team.

>Additionally, "all purchases of a Regional Finalist Support Pack will be refunded" and "the tournament prize pool will be updated to reflect these refunds".

The original idea was pretty neat, but it seems like they not only had no intention of ever paying the teams, they also had no idea how to do it.

Limit repeat alpha strikes.

Make using an alpha strike an actual tactical decision.

Try to limit mechs capable of boating a single weapon type from utterly overwhelming mechs that bring mixed loadouts.

Provide a visual indicator for when you're reaching a heat penalty which isn't currently in the game.

Try to slow down the pace of the game so that people don't get instantly obliterated by just moving into firing position.

Vanity, I know. Call this Keeping up with the Kardashians, Mechwarrior Edition, I guess.

Out of the Mechs confirmed for the is game, which one do you think is the sexiest mech porn, the best interpretation from Alex? Also, let's base this off his actual concept art, not the in game models, which sadly have not always been translated as well as one could hope (be it the dynamic weapons snafu, or the inevitable massive hips/thigh gap so many sprouted.... poor enforcer...how did they screw you up sooo bad?!?!?!?!?).

Mind you, this can alter things... for instance I love the ON1 in game model... but think there is an odd...doughboy feel to the concept art, that I honestly don't love.

In truth, Alex made so many BAD looking mechs like the Cicada or Hunchback, look good. In other case...like the Jagermech, I just feel it lost the feel of Loose's original design too much (plus in fairness the arms on the concept picture are pretty... terribad). Me personally? I don't like the MWO Marauder, at all. Too bloated and clumsy looking (IMO).


Mind you...the CPLT-K2 would be a hands down shoe in, for sexiest mech ever..... except we apparently, won't have it here. :(

(If ever there were something I would campaign and petition for, it's adding the K2...it is supposed to be around in this time frame (originally..stupid retcon for no reason!) and ...it's such a shame to miss out on what is such a beautiful in game model (now that we finally got Russ to fix it's ears! Rant... over. For now)

Oddly enough... I think I have to go with a Cat anyhow... a CataPHRACT, that is. Such a crappy looking mech in TT.... such a great design in MWO. (And as an added bonus, the modelers did a nice job, too!) IDK, there's just been something striking about it since it was introduced. Mind you, if the Archer had made it in.... that would be the only mech to rival the K2 for pure Mechporn eyegasm. Alex just hit every aspect on that Archer to absolute perfection. So dang sexy.

If you're getting hit by enough missiles that you need AMS, there's going to be so many missiles that you're getting fucked regardless.

Which is why it's important that multiple teammates bring AMS, if your whole lance has AMS and you're rolling together, you can swat a lot of missiles.

>>158646618
Yes, kind of, I think

Why do people still keep saying the stormcrow is the best clan medium?

Nova does SPL/ ERSL brawling better, Huntsman/ HBK-IIC-A does LPL/medium laser vomit better, huntsman has now dethroned the stormcrow in the pure SRM boating role...

The only things even remotely left for it that it does okay is 6x MPLs or streak missiles, which it only gets to do in scouting mode.

If you're dumb enough to just engage an opponent and start circling them in a knife fight, then yeah, stormcrow is SLIGHTLY better than a nova or a huntsman thanks to it's 20kph faster run speed.

But it's still a humongous as fuck target, easily getting it's torsos taken out by all manner of weapons, and you can't really torso twist to spread damage either due to the fighter jet cockpit.

The Nova is 90% gorilla arms that get blown off instantly by any competent player and the Huntsman is 90% CT. Stormcrow is still a 55 tonner that moves at 104kph.

>>158648594
Nova and Huntsman excel at dropping their targets or at the very least crippling them before they can respond at full effectiveness.

12 SPL's is still 72 points of damage to a component within 1.5 seconds, after all.

Huntsman splats missiles at a pace the stormcrow can't match, and since it has such large torsos, the combined mass of 8 SRM4's on the huntsman tear it apart faster than the stormcrow can rip open the huntsman.

>>158649584
I didn't mean Nova or Huntsman are bad or anything, Nova especially fucks up anything it gets in range of. Just that in general, a Stormcrow is going to last significantly longer in a brawl.

>>158649584
>>158648594

LET THE BATTLE OF CALCULATIONS BEGIN!

>>158649636
In a straight up brawl against an equal tonnage foe, maybe, but the stormcrow can't disengage by jumping onto terrain to break line of sight like the nova and the huntsman can.

>>158649836
If you're in SRM/SPL range in a 50 tonner you're not going anywhere buddy.

>>158660190
They're the best dakka assault inner sphere has, so yeah.

>>158660323
Any recommendations?

>>158660362
Here's what they do:

MAL-1R is a good all-arounder, has the best potential for a lot of roles. SRMS + AC's, LPLs + SRMs, pure dakka.

MAL-2P runs either 2x AC20 + assorted lasers or 2x Gauss + 6x medium lasers. Maulers aren't good for laser vomit, so don't build it primarily to do that. personally I prefer the 2x gauss + 6x medium lasers + STD300 on this variant.

MAL-MX90 is the best option for either 4x UAC5 or 5x AC5.

MAL-1P does 2x AC5 2xUAC5 4x medium laser pretty damn well.

>>158661427
>2x AC5 2xUAC5 4x medium laser
That has to be XL?
Don't really like the look of the MX90 despite having best ballistic quirks because nothing triggers me more than having empty stumps for arms.

>>158661579
>that has to be XL?
It doesn't actually. You'll be running rather slow, but the Mauler is generally not a fast mech with it's maximum engine capacity of 325, for a 90 tonner.

Thus you're better off focusing on overwhelming firepower.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=327&l=53c367dc12cbe888a8f8b0d81d870f719cc7f06e

Of course, you can completely forego the medium lasers for more ammunition, strip the arms down and get a slightly bigger engine.

>>158662006
Sounds like fun, thanks.

Actually haven't played an assault since 2013 so I think I'll drop down a little for more armor and CASE.

Cyclops or Mauler?

>>158662912
Why not an Atlas my dude

>>158662912
Mauler if you want dakka.

Cyclops if you want SRMs or a not-quite-an-atlas.

>>158663180
Cyclops or an Atlas then?

Are Maulers Kodiak tier dakka or not quite? I've got an aversion to Clan mechs for whatever reason.

>>158664101
Maulers are slightly below kodiaks in dakka burst capacity, but mauler dakka is pinpoint and consistent, while kodiak is dependent on shit not jamming.

So if you can aim your 20-40 damage pin-point dakka burst on the kodiaks side torsos, you'll be able to take him down.

In a staring contest, the kodiak will burn through your CT before you burn through his.

When I say "not-quite-an-atlas" in relation to the cyclops, I mean the cyclops has the capacity to brawl just as devastatingly as an Atlas with the same build. You're not quite as tough, but you're just as if not more mobile and agile.

>>158670023
Yes

>>158668317
Do you like the highlander IIC-C trial mech?

Then yes, get the Super Nova for the hero.

The other supernovas will not be good because clan energy weapons are too hot to be boated on a clan assault effectively, on a slow assault at that.

With spoopy heatenings 2.0 confirmed shelved, the super nova will not be able to run it's 6x ERLL stock build even if you give it 30 double heatsinks. It'll be able to shoot it's fist once, one after the other, before reaching a high heat threshold where it's unable to fire for at least 10 seconds. And you sure as hell do not want to stare at an enemy for 5 seconds to deliver 60 points of scattering laser burn damage when there are kodiaks throwing that around in a third of that time.

That's really, really bad for a clan assault.

>>158671101
Okay thanks

>>158662450
>>158662006
>>158661579
Isn't MX90 better for this build because of all the ballistic quirks it gets, with a STD300 and 2ML instead?

should I buy the Kodiak bundle?

>>158671209
Technically, yes, but the MAL-1P cannot do the 5xAC5 or the 4xUAC5 as effectively either. Range and heat generation quirks are better utilized with a pure ballistics boat.

So I had to concede that for the MAL-1P to have at least a somewhat unique role, it could run that.

>>158671629
Yes.

The KDK-1 with either 2x LPL 6xERML or 8x MPL and 1xLPL is fun once you master the art of fisting.

The KDK-2 is kinda boring and uninteresting, as jump jets are ineffective as fuck on a 100-tonner and you pay a premium for those.

The KDK-3 is ezmodo.

>>158671828
NUH UH KDK-3 IS WHAT EVERY ASSAULT MECH SHOULD BE !!!!!!!

Best black cunt, prove me wrong.

>>158674523
>and kodiak falls apart in seconds too
The kodiak can actually exploit retarded gameplay mechanics (cockpit shake/view blocked by trillion explosions) to increase it's survivability in a situlation where only one guy is shooting at you, which makes it marginally more survivable than non-dakka assaults despite the big torso hitboxes.

>everything in the game dies in fucking seconds because everything can boat a million weapons
Everything dies in seconds because you can shoot giant weapon batteries simultaneously into the same spot and you can alpha for more than what your heatsinks should allow, and speed only makes things harder to hit in a meaningful way when they're going really fast.

The speed thing is why the Spurdomech and Exe are so goddamn horrible, going fast in an assault or having 4 jump in an assault means nothing when it doesn't actually do anything. That's why the Lineshitter is doa as fuck, because going relatively fast in a heavy doesn't actually do anything.

>>158636047
This isn't even something that could reasonably be called e-sports, it's just old men and super autists playing pretend in a different way. e-sports have to be marketable and spectator friendly, everything about the MWO competitive format is fucked for that. Too many players, broadcasting from a zoomed out overhead cam with blurry outlines, excessive downtime, etc. It's like they've never seen a competitive FPS tournament in their lives.

Well, considering they're going to be champion builds but with a c-bill boost, I've got a feeling they are at the very least going to be using the Highlander IIC-C.

Hmm, dunno which to buy, if any.

>>158726971
blood orange, super bright safety vest orange, best orange in the game in my opinion
camo greens, simple faded shades of green useful for camos, 250 MC instead of 500, the dark green looks especially good
phraken black, just a nice dark shade of grey, goes with realistic camos and stylized looks
evergreen, rich pine green useful for both realistic camos and making your mech more orky

those would be my top picks for flexibility to be honest, there's more nice colors in there but a lot of them are pretty niche like purples and teal greens or faded oranges

>>158728551
will the memenova hero run that?

>>158728895
yes

>>158728895
Yes, but it'll be slightly worse due to having the energy weapons be in the right side torso while the ballistics are spread to both arms.

This makes your build heavily right sided, meaning it's easier to neuter your weapons by focusing that right side torso, while also forcing you to expose the entirety of your mech to be able to fire both UAC10's.

So why did the Supernova get fucked over in the early adopter section?
