PUPPIES 3 TO 9 MONTHS — MY HOW YOU’VE GROWN.
Teething is something to stay on top of during this time of fast growth. Give your puppy a variety of safe, soothing chew toys to help develop proper chewing habits. It may even save that favorite pair of shoes. At this age, your puppy may occasionally misbehave and disregard what’s already been learned. Be persistent and keep up with your pet’s training. Reward good behavior with KONG Stuff’N treats and continue interactive play with KONG toys. A frozen stuffed KONG puppy toy is ideal to relieve teething pains.

RECOMMENDED KONG PRODUCTS FOR PUPPIES 3 TO 9 MONTHS:

KONG Puppy rubber toys are ideal for training, rewarding, and getting your puppy through this continued teething phase.
Put Stuff’N Puppy Easy Treat in the grooves of a KONG Puppy Teething Stick and freeze.
Puppy Goodie Bone is a fun chew toy and treat holder that helps soothe your puppy’s tender gums.
Puppy Flyer is great for interactive games of fetch with the whole family.

Should I skip straight to 2?
>>
>>160550742

Play the japanese version of the first, or skip it entirely and go straight to MW3.
>>
>>160550742
You should honestly skip straight to 3 and 4. Everything but the soundtrack from 1 or 2 is going to hard to be deal with it due to it's age.

If you want old timey mech games, mechcommander 1 and 2 are still quite playable, but are a completely different sort of game.

Some of that will be mitigated when the Gear weights and performance parameters are implemented to account for the differences in weight of the parts and the power produced by the various engine and component combinations.

Also in large part the jump jets are primarily driving the high speeds seen in SMS mode at the moment, since they can accelerate the Gear quickly and sustain the speed for further jump jet boosts.

It was a quiet night, as they usually were, deep in the hold of the KISS Circumflex Accent. Recently distracted from a tryst with his girlfriend, Greg lay in his bunk gathering his thoughts. Hands behind his head, looking up at the bunk overhead, he released an exasperated sigh. Not an hour earlier his 230 year old girlfriend had given him a peck on the cheek as she flitted through his dorm's door, not to be seen for at least another week. His thoughts were getting the best of him, his turgid ego beginning to realize itself once more. Before he could regain his attention the door swung open, slamming against the metal wall with a loud bang. Pants down, Greg jumped to attention in conjunction with his own smaller member standing too. "At ease mechwarrior," Commander Harabec said as he entered the room with a swirl of his wolf's fur cape. "We begin our hunt for the elusive Haruko tomorrow at the break of noon so you had best your war-face ready." Greg gulped in anticipation; Haruko, the rogue cycler that abandoned the old ways of Kong to forge a new path into her own future apart from the rest of the Corporation. Catching himself, Greg pulled his pants up and walked out into the corridor. Posters of muscle girls lined the walls, as did wolf girls and other myriad of designated waifus for each respective Konglet. Except for Greg, his MIO poster torn down in disgrace after discovery of his 3DGF. That was neither here nor there anymore, the hunt was to begin anew tomorrow. Planning needed to be done. Straightening his belt he went down the corridor to the Military Intelligence officer's command, headed by the aloof Lt. Damien Botte, or colloquially, Dudebutt. Greg, realizing he had forgot to put his boots on looked back to his room, only to find Commander Harabec staring him down; so with cold feet, he resumed toward his destination.
>>
His teeth rattled as the cockpit jolted from impact, the squealing of metal was only overpowered by the squeal emitted from his own gaping maw. The Raptor was loose at last. Greg pivoted the torso of his Orion-M as SRM's hammered into its gigantic side torso. He knew well that the armor was holding fast, but only just, and that a decisive action needed to be taken soon. Now was his moment, now was the time for him to seek glory in the pages of Kong's Lore Fanfics. The right arm of his orion swung down, crashing into the cockpit of the madcat he had been face-hugging, batting the mech clean of its feet, crashing headlong into the row of buildings along the corresponding city street, a plume of smoke and dust blocking Greg's vision. Thermal vision engaged, he saw a massive leak emitting from the mech's side torso. A thru-armor crit must have occurred during the last instance. Feeling victory in sight he screeched and alpha-struck the downed mech with his combination of short-range-missiles and his LBX-10 and cackled with delight. Victory was now his, he could feel it. He spun gleefully in a circle, losing track of his surroundings, playing his discordant voice over loud speakers for all to hear. From behind the very building he had ambushed the madcat outstepped an enemy Linebacker, its hunched statue making the omnimech blend into the skyline and not sticking out in Greg's peripheral vision. His ecstatic victory screech was short lived as the Linebacker tore into his weakened side torso and blew out his XL engine. He shrieked in horror as his mech came crashing down. Over Kong's radio, amidst the panicked chatter of the disorganized unit, came the telltale voice of his sworn enemy, King Philip of Gonk who smugly commented, "Way to put an XL in your onion, fag." Mocking voices chimed in, laughing at the distraught would-be hero.

Some say Greg's scream can be heard to this very day.

He continued down the corridor, reflecting on his last encounter with Haruko. She had always had it out for Greg, at least as far as he was concerned. All he had ever given her was an opening for friendship and a couple harmless dickpics. He couldn't quite understand what her hang up was with him. She had been screaming on him for about an hour, so about as long as she usually did, calling him a dumb faggot and trying to kick him in the dick after he had, as he usually was known, losing track of his situational awareness during battle. The costs of repairing and rearming his mech was stacking up and Haruko had, for about the thirtieth time, grown sick of his shit. Not opening his mouth Greg had taken the punishment at the expense of being called a pussy by everyone else, and Haruko had stormed off in a huff, not to be seen again. An escape pod had jettisoned from the ship, and the sensors had picked up a figure thrashing around in the port window of it. All for a damned Dragon-1N. As he tread the hallways he went through the mess hall only to witness several konglets throwing pies at one another, with another off masturbating in a corner of the room at the spectacle. He stopped and stared for a moment before resuming his journey to the Intelligence wing of the ship. Arriving finally, Dudebot stood over a massive map being displayed on a large screen on the table in front of him. It was a map of a city by a river. One of seemingly endless cities by rivers that Kong had found themselves fighting in to secure over the past four years of their contract. CONT
>>
>>160556698
"Haruko is believed to be somewhere in this city," he began, "and we are dispatching a lance down there to find her. You may find it odd that we're dispatching a lance, but last week her Panther had gone missing and we suspect that she had somehow come back aboard the ship just to steal it from us. This we cannot allow as we were planning on selling that piece of shit and forwarding the profits for the next sale on the black market." Greg nodded dumbly. "Good," Dudebot said, "we're sending you down with three other konglets, ones you know very well. Kakos Kaelus Krimean Kassius Klay Kokos Kolos, The Not Actual-Commander Kit, and the Shoebox. You four are supposed to be planetside after you wake up at noon, so try your best to be in the dropship or else we'll leave you up here and give you wet willies and swirlies for the rest of the day. Buckle up, faggot, dismissed." Greg wasn't entirely thrilled with whom he was being sent planetside with, but beggars can't be choosers as his girlfriend was well aware. Knowing he had less than 18 hours until he left for a mission he wouldn't potentially return from, as any Konglet knew since the Corporation's death rate was ridiculously high, he stuck his hands down his pants and began preparing himself for some alone-time as he went back to his room.
>>
>>160556825
"She packed my bags, pre-flight. Zero hour, 12 PM Noo-" "Fuck off, Dashing." "Oops, sorry guys. Let's get going with the countdown then." Greg sat swaddled in his cooling vest flicked affectionately at the bobble-headed coconut monkey on the dashboard high in his Orion-M. "Ten." Greg made sure the straps in his seat were secure. "Nine." He took out a flask and took a sip. Eight. He realized someone had swapped the tang in his flask with something alcoholic. "Seven." He tugged anxiously at his crotch, trying to get his sweaty nuts off the inside of his leg. "Fuck it just go." Wait wha- The dropship heaved as the Circumflex Accent ejected the carryall out of its bowels like a celestial shit and it began its downward spiral planetside. "Okay shitters let's try a mic-check," Kakos said. "Check," said Kit. "Check," said Shoebox's text to speech program. "Check," said Greg. "Greg, check your mic." "Check," Greg said, flicking his microphone up and down on its swivel. "Can you hear me? Hello?" This went on for several minutes. Greg's impatience flared and he began yelling into the mic about taking his shit and going back up to the ship. "Sorry, Greg, had you muted," Kakos said in his thick accent, "Anyways we need to go down to this riverside city and look for Horko, so don't be a useless fag about it." Greg's bowels clenched, it was always the descent going planetside that always had his insides in a fuss. The pressure suddenly relaxed, and klaxons began to sound. "Okay faggots let's get going." The bottom dropped out one last time, and with a heaving lurch Greg looked up to find the sunrise coming up over a sparkling white city less than a mile ahead.

>>160558284
Gorilla arms pitching upward and downward, his Orion-M swaggered to the city's edge close behind Kakos and the rest. Kit found it best to take point in her machinegun, PPC, large laser catapult K2, despite the Shoebox's requests to do so in his Cicada. Kakos lead the lance in his recently liberated Kodiak-3, ambling up closely to the city limits. A man's voice hailed them, "Attention, Mechwarriors, you are in clear violation of this planet's sovereignty and this city's laws. Please take your battlemechs elsewhere or else the authorities will be notified." "Too bad for you guys," Kakos slurred, "we don't give a shit and we think somebody with mechs of their own are in there." "You can't do this!" the voice declared. The broadcast was cut off as Kakos muted them and the lance proceeded into the city. "Radar contact, one kilometer," typed Shoebox. They went down the city's main avenue, cars blaring and swerving out of their way, steps fracturing the concrete and asphalt underneath each mech's respective immense weights. "Two more contacts." A projectile zipped past Greg's cockpit, slamming into the building immediately to his left. "Contacts, right," said Kakos. Greg swiveled right to see a jump sniping Night Gyr falling back down behind a nearby skyscraper. Kit had backed into a building, collapsing on to her catapult, pinning it to the ground. "Shit fucking dick nipples" she grunted as she ineffectively yanked the throttle back and forth. The jump jets did little but poot the catapult along the ground, grinding metal and sending sparks in every direction. "Way to suck guys," said Kakos. The claws on his Kodiak sprung out from its knuckles as rounded the corner to the enemy Night Gyr. Autocannon fire ripped into the would-be jump sniper as it pitched to-and-fro in an attempt to spread the damage over its surface.
>>
>>160560071
"Fucking thanks PGI," yelled Kakos as all four of his auto-cannons jammed simultaneously. Greg rounded the corner just in time to deliver a payload of brawling science right up the Night Gyr's buttocks, blowing the left leg clean off below the knee and sending the left are flying wide as the gauss rifle exploded within. Kakos was swearing to PGI again, his elusive deity that Greg knew little about. Of course, Greg readily admitted when he was ignorant with things, and he often found himself ignorant of lots of things. One friendly was down, as was one enemy. Shoebox had said there were two more detected, though at this point everyone had no idea what they were, or even where they were now. "They must have ECM," typed Shoebox, "I lost contact with the other two." "I hate my team," Kakos muttered under his breath. Onward and inward into the city they went, leaving Kit behind to fend for herself. They were coming back for the catapult for salvage, without a doubt, but right now whether they came back for her was a completely different story at this point. Kakos had taken several shots to a side torso, but both Shoebox and Greg were garden fresh. Under Kakos' orders they set radars to passive, barring Shoebox, who had brought along electronic-countermeasures of his own to ensure at least some disgression. Greg switched to private chat and began talking to Shoebox, who would slowly respond in his own text-to-speech on Greg's heads-up-display. Kakos dourly brooded as he lead the remaining elements of his lance deeper into the city.

They were officially making their way downtown, walking fast as civilians ran past, perhaps homebound. It was roughly an hour into the operation, their inward advance had been largely unopposed since they had clashed with the jump-sniper earlier. The shoebox looked hither and thither as they came upon a massive intersection. "What do you think, guys?" typed the Shoebox. Greg said, "I say we go right." "Then we go left," said Kakos as his kodiak lurched on to the southbound lane. They quietly followed suit. The Shoebox floored the throttle and zipped ahead to scout, the cicada lithely moving to and fro between abandoned cars and the like as it went down the avenue. Yellow lights flashed in the cockpit, Greg screeched "Guys! Locks on me!" Greg pitched his Orion forward and began to turn round as nothing was ahead. The Shoebox spun his cicada around on a dime and flitted between buildings, activating the ECM to disrupt and went out several hundred meters ahead of Greg and two blips appeared on his radar. Greg threw his throttle forward in an attempt to get out of the open as SRM's saturated the avenue. Kakos had already removed himself from harm's way and was shouting orders to no one. The Shoebox was finally close enough to their assailants and due to his advanced radar systems they discovered their enemies. One Atlas-D-DC, and a Stalker. "The Atlas!" Shoebox typed, "It has red glowing eyes!"

Greg couldn't believe what he was reading. An Atlas with red glowing eyes? Impossible, such a thing was lostech. It was something from another time, from a better time. The Stalker appeared on his head's up display. It was armed with six particle projector cannons. Had he gone back in time? He shook his head, blinking his eyes looking at the screen. None of this should be right. An high pitched frequency was emitted from the Shoebox as those PPC's hammered into its tiny arm, blowing the component clean off. The ECM was scrambled from the electromagnetic disturbances and the two blips on Greg's radar disappeared. Kakos had seen the same, and Greg had realized that Kakos had been talking to him this entire time. "It's fucking Norris and Leimrey. It has to be. We need to show these two shitters how the meta has changed." Greg nodded to no one before realizing he needed to audibly confirm Kakos' suspicions. A blip on the radar appeared behind them, southward bound, another Atlas was approaching their position, a voice went over their radios, "Prepare to get zekht." Holy shit, Greg hadn't signed up for this. He had suddenly found himself back in time, armpit deep in the throes of the Norris Heresy before the second Great Schism of Kong. "Kakos we need to call for help. We need more people!" Greg begged. Kakos laughed, ever the defeatist, "It's too late, we're fucked." Greg screamed in futility as he turned about-face to alpha strike the approaching Atlas. Missiles away, LBX-10 firing in quick succession from his qwerks, he poured into the advancing wall of metal. Kakos, for once, followed suit, emptying his auto-cannons into the open target.

"We're not fucked," Greg yelled over his weapon fire, "The Kodiak-3 is the best mech in the entire galaxy! It's got to be worth at least two D-DC's." Maybe. At least until something happened to make the clan ultra-autocannons jam more. The techs in Kong's hangars haven't figured that out yet. Greg realized his heat was spiking, but he could manage. He fired once more into the Atlas, metal screaming, it finally heaved forward onto the ground, a mangled sparking and smoking mess of yesteryear, settling into a crater from impact in the avenue destroyed. His ammunition was still fine, his armor was still holding, but the D-DC had been intent on his demise, for some reason either not acknowledging or was simply completely unaware of the Kodiak unloading into it. Shoebox had rounded back to them through the city blocks, the side smoking from the PPC impact. "We need to get out of here," he typed, "we're out-tonned and out-gunned." Greg backed his Orion up as close as he could to the side of the skyscraper he was taking cover behind, thinking. Something needed to be done, as it goes, this was a 'clutch or kick' moment and he'd be damned if he didn't succeed. He didn't much care to be kicked either. This was his moment, Shoebox and Kakos be damned, he was the one that would get Haruko back if it was the last thing he'd ever do. Blips on the radar. The D-DC and Stalker were advancing. "Get out of here Stalker!" Shoebox typed over his loudspeakers. A gigantic fist punched through the skyscraper, fingers reaching out and raking into Greg's backside. He lurched forward out of its grasp and turned about-face and began backing away from the detritus of rubble from skyscraper's base. Even footing was important, after all.

The Stalker had rounded the corner and in one flash second Kakos had lost a side torso, who began swearing loudly. Greg watched as Kakos charged the stalker, claws springing out and the heavy fist crashing down into the cockpit of the battledildo. It rocked down, the legs buckled, the PPC's fired again, but point blank did little more than scratch Kakos' paintjob. Greg looked back to find the fist in the building gone, he saw that Shoebox was nowhere to be seen, and as he went forward around the building he bumped right into a gigantic Atlas, with eyes glowing like the fiery depths of hell, piercing right through his cockpit and staring straight into Greg's own eyes. Greg screeched as he fired everything he had into the front of the Atlas, who did the same. He watched in horror as the paperdoll of his mech was without armor, and his internal damage was nearing critical condition. He began frantically backing up and firing indiscriminately into the charging assault mech. His mech reached its threshold. Overheating it shut down, Greg looked helplessly into the face of his demise. "You should have fired a coolant shot retard," Kakos yelled as he began firing his remaining weapons into the enemy mech. Greg ree'd as he saw the atlas turn away and begin to further strip the components from Kakos, not realizing that he had another problem coming from behind. The Shoebox, who had largely been aloof from this engagement, came from behind and emptied its lasers right into the backside of the enraged mech. The arms swung about, the mech lumbered in futility to screen the damage, but as Greg turned back on and fired one last alpha into the monster. The legs shuddered, the engine now gone, and the mech pitched backwards into the very building mech had hidden behind not a moment earlier. The building toppled down onto the Atlas, leaving any chance of capturing the enemy pilot a very slim to none chance.

The fight was over, and beyond the Shoebox who had been largely ignored, both Greg and Kakos were in poor condition to continue the mission. They had found themselves at an impasse, and Kakos, known for his sound judgment, said "let's keep going assholes." They turned their radars back on and the Shoebox tried to boost his BAP to the furthest extent he could. A beacon was detected near the heart of the city. "PUSSY SHITS," the beacon read. Greg had a bad feeling deep down in his brain's heart. The time was roughly late afternoon, Greg wasn't entirely sure what time it was as he had taken the alarm clock out and replaced it with a gigantic air horn after the nicknamed 'Boogeyman' had done it a few months earlier. He suddenly found himself tempted to sound them off, but the rule was only to do so after a kill, and since he had forgot to do it after his destroying the Atlas, he - in profound clarity and self awareness - to found it in poor taste to sound it now for no reason. Two kilometers out, PUSSY SHITS awaited them, and forward they trudged, sparking and smoking, deeper into the city. One kilometer out a message appeared on Greg's head's up display, "FUCK OFF GREG." He now knew their quarry was ahead, the missing konglet Haruko was soon to be apprehended and dealt with in true Kong justice. They had found themselves following a plume of smoke for several blocks in the direction of their beacon, and as they rounded the last corner they had found a sassy colored Panther, legs blown out, laying on its side with a small figure sitting on top of it with its arms crossed. "Haruko you shitter come over here so we can leave," boomed Kakos over his loudspeaker. Greg approached and lowered the gorilla arm of his Orion-M, the laser barrel pointing directly at the small, tenacious woman. "We're leaving now," he said, uncharacteristically masculine.

The Shoebox sidled alongside the wrecked panther and crouched, a small top-hatch opening. Begrudgingly, Haruko climbed inside. It sat there unmoving for several moments. "She had blown her legs out after she missed a jump from a rooftop," Shoebox typed, "she's mad." Kakos sounded his warhorn and radioed in to the KISS Circumflex Accent. It was time to leave. At the city's outskirts they met with the dropship and after loading back up began their ascent back into their capital ship. In the mechbay, Haruko was met by several Kong security officers lead by a recently demoted Pizzadog, and was escorted deep into the ship's brig. Commander Harabec approached the pilots, taking in the sight. Kakos stormed off to the cantina to drown his woes, and Shoebox had gone off for some upgrades to the toaster he kept in his room as it was underperforming lately with the high quality grain breads he was trying to force into it. Greg looked past Harabec to see several Konglets conversing and watching the defeated Haruko sulk away. "She looks like she's pretty fucking fucked," Dashing said in his dumbass drawl as he adjusted his cowboy hat. "Shuddup Dashing," said Boogeyman. The Heavy Brothers, Whispers and Shaix, in their handsome visages, said as usual, very little. "What's going to be done about Haruko?" asked Greg. "She'll be rehabilitated," Harabec started, looking back at the procession, "we'll try to do what we can. She's flirted with the Devil. Norris and his old guard sewing all sorts of discord into the poor woman's soul. We'll try." He slowly shook his head and adjusted his wolf cape. Greg found himself alone in the mechbay. Casting one last glance upward to his Orion-M, worn and beaten, he smiled. He finally got to piss off Haruko for real and get away with it since he was part of the rescue team. His hand dove into his pants. He had about a day until his next assignment, he intended to use it. Later that day he sat up mid-stroke, "Oh shit we forgot about Kit!"

This works super well on shitmaps like mining collective. You should be able to get like 8 kills on your own team and probably a bunch more on the enemy team in a single match, and your team will be super mad that you waited to backstab them.

Are You Heading to Mech_Con?

On December 3rd, over in the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, Canada, Piranha Games is hosting a day long BattleTech and Mechwarrior themed convention.

A variety of events and fun stuff is planned. Many guests from various community members and companies are planning on attending, such as Jordan Weisman and Randall Bills or online media personalities from Twitch and such.

In the best traditions of the Solaris VII Games, one of the headline events is the first World Championship of MechWarrior Online. Don’t you want to establish dominance and win that trophy?

Hey look, everybody knows that we don’t always get a chance to flip some dice and push around metal the way it was meant to be in real life. I’m playing online with stuff like MegaMek. So, getting the chance to play live with real enthusiasts, purchase stuff from live vendors, get some autographs, and rub noses and talk shop with with all of you folks is a great opportunity.

So what about you? Are you heading over? Why not check out all of the information they have to see if you are interested in getting your ‘Mech on, Vancouver style!

Like the large majority of crazy people, he had no problems giving away all his docs.

The true story is that he was a generic crook at one point or another, and accepted a deal with the FBI to sell out some of his friends. During his MWO saga, he gathered a bunch of hardcore ultra patriotic eletronic old men to form a 'veteran owned' unit based around his fanfiction OC's lore. It later got out that he was stolen valor, and the unit imploded in like a single day. Even after this became public knowledge, he kept claiming he'd totally served 900 years in the army.

Just remember that this man is Serious Business. He'll call the FBI, the marines, the green berets, the presidental honor guard, the coast guard, the air force, delta force, and PMCs if you ever dare to insult his OC, or say anything he doesn't like in the game.
>>
Just remember that Crunk is a fugitive for daring to rewrite some of Robin's autistic fanfiction and putting it on his own forum profile. He literally has mercenaries waiting to kill Crunk, but due to the political landscape and international law, he's not allowed to extract Crunk yet.
>>
When CW phase #whatever launched, and we got to make guilds, Crunk claimed the HARD tag, which inflicted untold damage on Robin's butt, and would be the catalyst for his guild imploding.

Despite claims to the contrary, PGI never intended to do fucking shit about it, and I even had community reps contact ME to assure ME that Robin was just a crazy man, and everything was cool. I don't think Crunk got any emails, though.

To this day, Crunk is still the leader of HARD, and has the unique power to bestow the tag upon those who are MAX HARD enough to carry such a burden. Sage and his shit squad died years ago.

The end.

>>160600625
Do I recall correctly that BAP for LRMs is only useful for countering ECM?
>>
>>160600753
It counters ECM between 160 and 320 meters, I forget which after all the changes and having ignored it as a piece of equipment so far.

It also gives your targeting a 25% range boost, which allows you to shell those missiles targets up to 750 meters away without the assistance of TAG. It doesn't, however, counter ECM at that range. Nor should you really be using LRMs at that range unless it's to support a friendly in a brawl or to rain on a big fat assault stuck out in the open. 700+ meters means your target will have roughly 5 seconds time to get into cover to avoid your fire.
>>
>>160600951
even with 20% velocity and target decay?

basically, it's between BAP or half a ton more armor per leg

Thanks. Strange thing is the daily challenge shows the unlocked icon already.

Is it advisable to change my lrm dawg?
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=212&l=203507c7c7430b9c5d179db7b3e778aef6822530

I have no ideas though. Putting LRM20 on mdd-a torsos with 3 missile hardpoints seems like a waste.
>>
>>160601079
20% velocity increase is a mere +32 meters per second. Going from 160 to 192. At best you'll shave between half a second and a second of travel time depending on the range. Shorter range being better, because going from 3 second reaction time to 2.5 second reaction time is noticeable.

Basically that, or more ammunition. Or even a heatsink, since those weapons do stack up heat after a short while.

I dont think anyone uses AMS because nobody pushes without terrain cover or ECM. Besides, you can just spread the damage very easily.
With pubs it can be a bit more effective but they get scared of 2 LRM5 launchers anyway, so its pointless.

>>160612519

>>
>>160612956
Also radar derp, ECM and just walking into cover exist so AMS is pretty redundant anyway.
>>
>>160613717
It's not redundant, more like overkill. If they made the ammo per ton more then it wouldn't be too much of an investment, but for a lot of builds making room for two crit slots is already difficult enough.

>>160613857

The faction rank 2 that gives you the free mechbay is easy, just grind the probation matches in scouting and play a few invasion matches, and you should be done. If you're on merc contract you use the merc loayalty tree instead, I think there the rank 1 is equivalent to faction rank 2 in the amount of points needed and gives a mechbay too.

I have them Mastered.
The KTO-18 is the only one close to being good, simply for the 5 lurm5 build. Make sure to bring TAG, because I see shitters who just slap two MLs on and get eaten alive by a Shadowcat.
KTO-19 is wholly inferior to the 18. I ran mine as an SRMboat to make better use of the energy slots. Mind you, this is back when it had MPL quirks. Don't bother with a NARC unless you're in in the Big Mans.
KTO-20 is the worst of the bunch. The best loadout is 3 LLs, which is the exact same loadout as some Vindicators. It's awful.

The main things you'll hear are that the torso hitbox is too big, but that was changed almost a year ago. The problem is that your arms are tiny and cannot damage soak well, meaning damage goes into your shoulders very easily. Most of my deaths come from having a side torso blown out.

Really though, it's the worst of the 55 tonners.
Bad hitboxes, no JJs, and the cockpit is from the era where PGI was copy-pasting interiors. It's got the same console and seat arrangement as the Cicada, for example.
Although the KTO-18 and 19 are tempting as SRMboats because of all the missile hardpoints, they're just worse at it than the WVR-6R, despite that model only loading SRM18.

If you want them as your totem shitmech, fuck off. It's taken.

>Shit build ECM + 2x ERLL 1xERML

It's stock variations have little in the way of viable builds, but it's hero made it really shine.

Actually, on the hero, even the 2x ERLL build shines because you can put ECM in one hand, jump jets in both legs and an additional 2x ERSL for backup weaponry and enough heatsinks to keep yourself cool.

So in short: without hero; kit fox is shit fox. With hero: kit fox is best fox.

It's gimmick of being an AMS boat can also fulfilled by the Nova, which isn't a complete shitmech. Granted, taking some of the AMS slots weakens the Nova, but an inferior Nova is a better choice than wasting an entire mech bringing a Kitfox.

I sure fucking love when all 4 maps are total fucking garbage and you have to choose the smallest dick to fucking choke on. And I fucking love it even more when you have to watch your whole team feed themselves into the enemies one by one without being able to do fucking anything about it.

And then you see fucking mouthbreather vegetable motherfucking shitstain aidscancer retards always saying they want more maps and gamemodes. Like do you really fucking want more maps that aren't hpg or canyon in the map rotation after seeing wonderous things like polar highlands and the terra remake, do you want more cancerous fucking trash gamemodes that are as well thought out as invasion or domination that break the already worthless shit maps even more because "atleast it's not team deathmatch :^):^):^):^)" The playerbase of this game is so fucking braindead and the ones that aren't are fucking faggotcunts.

What Battletech/Mechwarrior books to read?
>>
>>160717595
Ask /btg/
We don't even have a game manual.
>>
>>160717595
the two Stackpole trilogies are good starting points.
>>
>>160717595
Overall most battletech novels are very cheesy or poorly written, but there are a few which are readable if you like robutts.

The Saga of the Gray Death Legion which follows the rise of a mercenary unit. Just the first three books though, the latter ones aren't as good. It's a easy intro to BT.

Wolves on the border is widely considered the best BT novel, and the other books by Charrette are pretty decent too.

Lastly there is the warrior trilogy if you're still looking for more.
>>
>>160717595

They're all shit. The writing is somewhat better than what you'll find in GW's black library, but that's not saying much.
>>
>>160719296
They're not actively bad, at least not most of them.

Far Country is the only actually bad one I can think of off the top of my head. The rest are all solid 5/10 or better.

>>160721091
What's wrong with it?
>>
>>160721708
Front loaded damage, generous ammunition counts, very high ranges, high damage. Map design mostly encourages dog piling and sniping.

Really the biggest problem with this game is the total lack of skill in the playerbase. Concepts like flanking almost unheard of and most matches are one team or the other melting inside 7 minutes.

>>
>>160743220
You simply do more damage at more ranges than most other mechs. You're remarkably heat neutral even on hot maps. You can dodge or spread ppc shots. Nobody dodges gauss shots.

If you can't make this build work then I feel bad for you, because it's both fun and quite good.

Airstrike is controlled damage in a line. You can aim and position yourself in a way that lets you hit one or two targets behind cover.

Artillery strike is randomized AOE damage. By trusting your fate in the hands of the PIG, you'll be able to cause some damage to a large cluster of enemies standing closely together.

So it's at least 3051 because of Night Gyr

That gives us TSM and C3, which PGI won't add.

3051 would give us the SB Gauss rifle, but that wasn't even popular in lore so that's unlikely.

3052 saw Thunder LRMs, which PGI probably won't add for being too complex for them.

3053 is more shit PGI won't give us like blueshield and armor piercing ammo.

...

So 3056 is when we should see the first new weapon which is easy enough for PGI to implement, the light gauss rifle.

I looked at the official forums and they all seem to think the Linebacker is ass compared to the Ebon Jaguar and Stormcrow, is here any truth to that?
>>
>>160780121
Don't read the forums.
>>
>>160780121
To be fair, the stormcrow is great and performs the same role so feel free to use that.

There are a couple builds that the linebacker does similarly or slightly better simply due to it's quirks.
>>
>>160780121
Depends on the build I guess.

Try the stormcrow for a 104km/h brawler. Other than that, you have the light mechs.There's a couple more of options if you're willing to go at 81-87km/h.
>>
>>160780121
That's because it is.

If you play it like an obese, quirked Stormcrow, it's great, but it has LESS weapon capacity than the stormcrow, let alone the Ebon Jaguar.

So if your desire is to limit yourself to the brawling builds of the Stormcrow (or 8x ERML + 22 DHS like I run on the redline) then the Linebacker is sure to entertain.

But if you want an actual weapons platform with build diversity, Ebon Jaguar, Stormcrow and even Hellbringer offer better options.

>>160785662
Yeah. You can look pretty much straight up or straight down.

However, there is really no reason in MWO to do so, and you must utilize free look as well as unlocked arms in order to aim straight up or down. There are no aircraft to shoot down, and there is no downward camera with which you could see underneath yourself, so you are stuck looking at your groin with your crosshair.

But can the rifleman aim directly behind itself with its arms?

How do clan engines work, are you just locked into them? I'm not familiar with the new HUD. Took me a while to figure out the omni pod business.

If you're completely lost, try the metamechs site. Its decent enough for a beginner, but eventually you'll want to ignore it and make your own builds.

>>160808373
You're stuck with that engine, but it's actually fine for the stormcrow. Your speed and mobility is your strength.

I would actually recommend 12 small pulses for the stormcrow, but you have to be very patient to play it correctly.

>>160808454

Alright. MetaMechs has that listed too, I'll try it out after I get tired of MedLas.

>>160811932
You have tonnage and no more crits so you can run it but it's a waste.
>>
>>160811932
They're okay, but they deal less damage and the duration is longer, meaning you need to wait more time to use the second fire group.
It also means there's more chances of spreading the damage you deal and less time to shield the incoming damage.

I got it now, thanks a bunch.

This Mech is pretty cool, my only regret is that I bought the B without looking at quirks, when only one arm on the B is good.

Should I put a Flamer in the cockpit since I already have 12 Small Lasers? Or just something else/ nothing.

Hypothetical, if I fired 6 small, 6 small pulse and 1 medium all at once in an alpha, would that not trigger ghost heat?

Supernova isn't a laser vomit mech. Not every energy build is laser vomit.

ERLL duration is going to be essential to make the stock build work. Also by then Energy Draw will most likely be in place.

>>160825158
With any close range build you need patience and situational awareness.
>>
>>160825158
Most maps give you the benefit of utilizing cover to close the distance. Some maps let you abuse it so liberally you'll think you're the democratic party.

Splitting between medium lasers and small pulse lasers on a medium is not adviseable, especially since you're considering the nova. On a mech like the Gargoyle, you can do this because you can get enough heatsinks to try and mitigate the double heat generation that comes from the medium lasers.

In the Gargoyle's case, however, you still need to keep in mind you can't really fire those mediums lasers more than once or twice when closing the distance. While in a brawl, firing them is wasted heat.

It's going to be a nice conglomeration of the grognards and retards that comprise the battletech fanbase.

It'll also be a great showcase for how very little actual WORK niggy has put into this game. The "big announcement(s)" Rusty Cuckold has been alluding to seem to be the module and skill tree reworks (nothing more than UI changes and XML file edits), and the CW bucketning convergence event (again, nothing more than UI changes and XML file edits). There will almost definitely be some alluding to upcoming mechs in 2017, probably some early concept art teasers.

However, nobody at that grand MechCONning will have the spinal strength to shout Russ nignogsucker down off the stage when his grand reveals fail to meet their promises. Let alone shank him and the slant-eyed subhuman they keep around as their "balance developer."

>>
>>160830363
It's decent as both a brawler and a long range sniper.

The 3R is a good 2x UAC5 + 2x PPC boat, or as a hybrid UAC5+ AC5 + 2x PPC + 2x ERML brawler thing.

The others are a mix of this and that. The Bounty Hunter is exceptionally nice with either an AC20 + 6x ERML or AC10 + 5x ERML 2x LPL.

>>
>>160830581
Marauder 3R can run AC/20 with 4MPL, but the Cataphract does it better. 3R is best suited for medium range sustained fire.

If you want a brawling IS heavy then the Cataphract 1X is really strong thanks to its quirks.

>>
>>160830581
>Why UAC5 + AC5

I use it for the 15 damage burst capability and the XL engine space you'll still have. I affectionately refer to it as the "ghetto gauss."

As for the AC20, yes you can fit it on the 3R variant, but the 5M is slightly better for that purpose because of 5x medium lasers and either big engine and jump jets or 5x medium pulse lasers.
>>
>>160831326
5M is definitely not better for brawling, 3R has twice the structure bonuses.
>>
>>160831376
True, but the increased firepower and mobility for the 5M can help it mitigate that disadvantage with liberal abuse of invulnerable terrain.

>>160831826

>>160836624
In order of useful:

>Purifier
Great, makes kit fox actually competent.

>Cinder
Doesn't really do anything an adder already doesn't do, but if you don't want to waste money on the clan wave 1 pack and REALLY want a badder, it's there.

>Breaker
There's the memetastic 15 ERSL with 20 DHS and a targeting computer build for it, and in some builds you may want to forego one arm and have weapons in the torsos. Same deal with it as the Cinder, to an extent.

>Lacerator
Doesn't do anything any other Stormcrow already doesn't do. Same deal as with the Breaker and Cinder. If you don't want to a la carte the stormcrow special for 55 dollaroos, get the lacerator and show the world how much of a gold man you are. (Comes with partially golden camo scheme).

>Pride
Not good. Lacks the -10% energy heat generation quirk other summoner variants have, so the 5x energy + gauss/ UAC10 and ERPPC + Gauss is a honey trap on this one. Highly suitable for an SRM bomber role, though you don't really need to waste real money on a summoner for that sort of specialization.

>Warrant
It's alright, as far as Timber Wolves go. Again, same as with the Lacerator, Breaker and Cinder, it's there as an option if you don't want to shelve out 55 dollaroos for the Timber Wolf a la carte.

>Nanuq
Stock build is nice on it's own (2x UAC10 + 3xERML) with the jam reduction quirks it gets, though it's on the big fat warhawk chassis. Personally found the 4x ERLL 3x S-SRM6 build to be just as fun on it. Another "If ya don't want to feed the pig incessantly" option.

>Ultraviolet
Great, grants the Dire Wolf side torso energy hardpoints that are not hobbled by jump jets, and if you want to run the 2x UAC10 2x UAC5 build, the arms actually accommodate for that really nicely. The dual ballistic arms allow you to shoot at targets above and below where earlier you would have had a tough time of it with the torso limited hardpoints.

>>
>>160836624
>>160838756
Continued:

>Medusa
If you want a real viper experience, this is one of them. 3x energy arms combined with 2x energy side torsos grant you a 10x ERSL build that's actually not that hot, allowing you to alpha strike it without shutting down. It'll put you somewhere close to 80% heat from 0%, though, so it's not like you can spam it. Just fire them in 2 groups of 5, and you'll do well with it.

>Jade Kite
Really fucking good night gyr. Though it doesn't get the ultimate quirk bonuses some of the variants get with their sets (PPC speed UAC10s on the NTG-D f.ex.), it still has it's own unique stock pods niche (triple gauss, essentially, with 2x ERPPC + gauss + quirks) as well as being able to field whatever your heat desires. 3x UAC10, 2xUAC10 + UAC5, 2x UAC10 + 3xERML, 2X Gauss + ERPPC.

>Redline
It's actually pretty nice. You can either build it with the current flavour that is 6x SRM6/4 + Artemis, or you can build it with 6x c-MPL, or 8x ERML (with 22 DHS + mk1 TC).

>Scorch (Marauder IIC)
It'll be a neat brawler, capable of either 2x UAC10 + 4x SRM6+A, or you can build it as a sniper with dual gauss and PPC arms and some supplementary SRM4's.
>>
>>160838746
I use 4 Mediums + 3 AC5s or 3 AC2s. It's alright.

2MAD isn't out yet how can you rate a mech that isn't out yet
>>
>>160838756
When you buy a Hero mech that's the only Chassis you get right?
>>
>>160839871
Yes, it's the only one of the chassis you get.

Still, paying more than twice that amount for something like the Timber Wolf or the Stormcrow just to get the 2 other variants you need to grind out the chassis doesn't make the a la carte option worth it anymore.
>>
>>160839740
By looking at it's loadout capabilities, and judging based purely on statistics?

I mean, even without quirks, that thing will be leaps and bounds better than the Warhawk and Highlander.
>>
>>160840304
Reminder that prior to release, everyone thought the Linebacker would be Vindicator levels of bad.

So no, you can't really do that.
>>
>>160840304
>that thing will be leaps and bounds better than the Warhawk and Highlander
Being better than warcuck and huelander isn't exactly an accurate measurement of anything

>3 firestarter
>3 thunderbolt
>3 king crab
>3 stalker

Should I continue on with IS or start with clan mechs? If so, whats the essential core clan mechs for the current meta
>>
>>160845505
Arctic Cheetah, Storm Crow, Timber Wolf, Kodiak.
>>
>>160845505
So you have 2 good IS mechs.
>>
>>160845752
been playing on and off since I was in the closed beta, each one fit the meta at some point. Except the panther and crab

>>160845728
will look into those, thx bud
>>
>>160845505
If you want clan mechs, ebon jaguar, timber wolf and kodiak are probably the best bets. Kodiak got nerfed, but it's still by far the best clan assault by the right of being a good mech instead of complete garbage.
>>
>>160845864
Crab is top tier laser vomit actually.
>>
>>160846448
It never fit the meta because it was never anything but "pretty good". No fun quirks and nothing particularly new to bring to the table loadout-wise. All it has is the fact that it's super cute.
>>
>>160846823
I don't remember what mediums were running around during the Black Knight apocalypse, or if Crab had its quirks back then, but the 27B is 10/10 al dente.
>>
>>160846823
Well, it can do zombie memes because of all the center hardpoints, and it's pretty tanky for a medium.
>>
How do you play the Marauder

I know it's tanky but goddamn does it feel like it falls apart really easily
>>
>>160848760
It's more of a defensive than offensive mech, as any mech relying on sustained fire is, so you get the best results by being patient and careful with your positioning.

...huh, I thought I wrote a paragraph about the Pakhet.

Anyway, here's what I wrote more or less:

>Pakhet
Same sort of build diversity as HBK-IIC, with only slightly less room. On the flipside, it can pull off some of the most ludicrous bomber builds available, either with 8x Streak SRM4's or with 8 regular SRM4's. Hell, I found that with 4x SRM4's + 4x SRM6's (without artemis) and 5 extra DHS, I could go toe-to-toe with assaults and just burst them down with my 80 damage one-two combo. You can even run a nice missile + laser hybrid, 5x c-SPL + 4x S-SRM4 if you want. If missiles aren't your thing, you can go for straight up laser vomit with 2x LPL 3x ERML, 2x ERLL + 5x c-SPL, or 2x ERPPC with heatsinks aplenty and a big targeting computer. Then there's the possibility of ballistics, though the huntsman prime gets slightly better efficiency with quirks, it runs Gauss + 4x ERML smoothly. It'll even run 4x ERML 2x UAC/5 very efficiently.

It's really my shame that I completely missed the Pakhet, because I've got nothing but praise for the killer kitty kat. It can do pretty much everything you want for a medium mech (barring 12x laser vomit) in a 50 ton package.

Can I leg the fattest of fat Assaults with 18 Medium Laser hits? How much armor do they have?
>>
>>160858396
>those hardpoints
>Make a marginally better Grid Iron

Talk about power creep.
>>
>>160859787
no of course you cant lmao
>>
>>160859787
18 x 5 is 90.

A 100 ton assault leg will have a minimum of 42 of structure, and anywhere from 45-84 armor. Add on top any structure quirks it might get.

Leg armor on assaults is very random though. Some pilots load up on it, some really neglect it. Knowing the build might give you an insight into whether they had to shave a lot off.

Lastly, if a mech carries ammo, it almost certainly has it in it's legs. If you have an lbx or machine guns, you have an easy shortcut into legging mechs by triggering an ammo explosion once the armor has been stripped off and you can shoot at the structure
>>
>>160861643
>Lastly, if a mech carries ammo, it almost certainly has it in it's legs.
I'll add an addendum that this doesn't apply to about half of clan mechs which have all or most of their leg slots permanently taken up with ferro or endo or jjs or whatever.
>>
>chat
>>
>>160861643
Okay
I wasn't aware of the structure armor so I can see why that changes some things

Different question, what's a good armor value to use on rear armor for medium mechs like the storm crow?
>>
>>160862929
as little as you are comfortable with

Any of the Mastery Bundles worth it once the sale next week hits?
>>
>>160870051
Can't really recommend any of the heroes in the mastery packs unless you have money to burn.

Oxide is decent enough but nothing special.

Arrow is decent, and does something unusual, but isn't stronger than the other BJs.

All other mediums besides the sparky are lackluster, and even that's only reasonable energyboat at best.

Elmo, Firebrand, and Jester are all good heroes, but are pretty far from meta.

All the assault heroes are memes besides the misery and that's good but limited into one build. Hellslinger will run the standard battlemaster 4lpl + giant xl just fine, but you're sacrificing the quirks from the 2C to get it and isn't worth it.

If you want to feed the pig, the Uller hero is a nice try.

Has medium speed and firepower in one of the cutest mechs ever made.

Or you could get the dreaded Jenner IIC missile memes and die quickly due to your oversized torsos.

The ACH is probably the most elite light mech with shit like the spider and firestarter just trying to do the same thing with IS tech.

If you want a new experience try the lolcust. The 1V and the 1E are the only 2 worth getting. Just get used to going fast.

Well I already told myself I'd take that $30 MC deal this week because I want to splurge on robutts. Just gotta wait till next week for the Mastery Sale then use the rest on decals/mechbays.

I've already got the Griffin mastered so I don't think I want the Sparky. What about that Shadowhawk pack?
