Can't wait for another Transverse ship to show up in the new trailer.

>>161589546
Can someone give me a good rundown of what the fuck the Transverse was? A good copy/paste or image would suffice. I checked out the trailer and it looks like a shitty star-citizen knockoff. How were people this mad about a game, albeit a shitty one, in development?

It just so happens that is the prime target for the Battle Armor Claw in MekPak 3 as the easiest place to reach that counts for a CT hit.

Best utilized by the Salamander that is the only one capable of mounting two BA Claws and two Flamethrowers to roast and crack chestnuts over an open fire.

Unforunately I can't find any of their actual funding page on their website. I should have taken screenshots when it was 0% and they had to cut their goal in half just to show it as 1% funded.

They dumped the website the instant they could get away with it. One of the bittervets from the RSI days backed up most of the true gold, but he made peace with the pig years ago, and hasn't been seen since.

Overall, surviving records from the trannyverse sage are scarce.

90% of the Inner Sphere is white. Same for the clans. Even the kuritans who are supposed to be completely racist japs have a huge minority populations of scandinavians and russians and other europeans.

That's how it was written, but modern communists that plague and infest the entertainment landscape do not care for the source material.

They only care that they can harness whatever intellectual property they can to become a vessel for their delusional dystopian political ideology.

And because 'marketing experts' are really just gambling addicted retards, they'll try to pander to audiences that either don't exist or simply aren't interested in such fringe subject as "World War 2 in space with giant robots and lasers."

You're definitely right, that area should be flooded with capellan outcasts.

The confederation is a shitshow, run by insane crackpots, with draconian laws enforced by secret police and in a constant state of war, recovery from a previous war, or preparing for the next war.

Most of the populace are serfs who have no rights because guess what, nobody is granted citizen by virtue of their birth, you have to earn it starship troopers style.

It's literally a hellhole in the IS and if there's some new frontier to try and make it, Capellans should be there.

And people are AFRAID to fight lrm boats on the us servers. Like, a DIRE WOLF with LBX10's was afraid to push in with me to kill three LRM boats that had minimal secondary weaponry.

>>161632461

Good builds on the ebin jag? I've already got Gauss + 2x ERLL and LPLs + ERMLs.

Any good ballistic builds for it?

This week in MWO has been the worst showing of skill and build competence by pugs that I have ever seen, and I have been playing since beta.

I have never seen such awful teams, combined with such awful builds.

What the fuck happened? I only play this game on and off, so I feel like I missed some huge change.

>>161637745
That's precisely what they talk about.

They're on PGI's payroll, they're the pigs community managers that hype up a release or an event for them.

Also mech CON tomorrow, and it's going to be a fucking disaster. SJW schemes will be there with forced-diversitytech, pig will unveil their entire years work has consisted of .xml file edits and UI changes to make the skill tree changes, they've for whatever reason focused on making the 3v3, 2v2 and 1v1 maps look pretty for simply a minority of a minority fanbase to play in private matches, and a stupid ass mech pack "that they've never done before."

2 Gauss 2 ERML

Just got the Timber Wolf and I'm playing around with 6 cERML and 2 cERLL after running the same build on my Hunchback IIC-A. For some reason, despite having several more heatsinks, it feels like it overheats way faster than the hunchback. Does Eliting a mech really do all that difference?

>>161643228
yes

>>161643228
>6 ERML 2 ERLL on a TBR let alone a HBKIIC

My man, that's way too hot.

Additionally, ERLLs are shit.

>>161643598
ERLL are far from shit. Streak 2s are shit. A single AC2 is shit. ERLL is nowhere near that bad.

>>161643724
You can't really compare a streak 2 with an ERLL or AC/2, but sure.

However, ERLLs ARE shit because of the burn time.

>>161643814
Sure buddy.

>>161643724
>A single AC2 is shit.
Take that back faggot they are great

>>161643926
Look, you're retarded for comparing a laser of the largest class (literally a LARGE laser) versus streaks and ACs of the smallest caliber.

Are you actually debating this and the fact that cERLLs have a LONG burn time AND ghost heat limit of 2?

>>161644109
Why is it retarded? They're all weapons with one purpose.

>>161644362
>streak 2 same purpose as ERLL
>large lasers are the largest lasers
>streak 2s are smallest streaks
>ac/2s are smallest ACs

I mean the AC/2 having a similar range profile as the ERLL, but the SSRMs????

That said yes ERLLs are shit unless you're running an exclusive ERLL boat, even then, people still don't use cERLLs when there are cERPPCs.

>>161643598

I liked it over the 4 cERML + 2 cLPLs because of the high alpha. I could get behind an assault and one-shot it with the 60+ damage alpha but sometimes the 50 something with the cLPLs wouldn't cut it.

>>161644615
cERLLs are shit because you will always get outraded with them and they have no synergy with any other weapon except Gauss and even then ERPPC + Gauss is much stronger synergy.

On the list of Clan energy weapons, ERLL are the worst. I don't know what more you want to call a weapon shit.

Whites will survive the current genocide because as soon as the tipping point happens, society crumbles and reverts to either tribal scavenging or whites take back control and expunge the hostile elements.

IF there were no white people in the future, there would be no space program, no advancements in medicine, just a rapid stagnation and decline and depletion of earths natural resources.

Shit I forgot to put ammo back in, still .5 ton left.
Is 2 more tons of targeting comp really worth dropping more heatsinks and ammo? I hardly ever use them, personally.

>>161677329
Putting that large ass comp in there was the only way to effectively eat up all the free tonnage. The two mediums and 3 UAC5s (even after all the UAC changes) isn't really enough to warrant more heat sinks.
This build is horrible regardless, but I'm at a loss of what the hell to do with this mech. I already run all the "good" builds on another variant.

>>161677021
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=447&l=04c71212c4533c100eede7773118f5f402898c6f

Is the only thing I can think of that would take advantage of the quirks.

>>161677021
Might as well run UAC10x2 ASRM6x2 TC1, maybe throw SPLs or SLs on the side if you have spare tonnage.

Why are the mech names all fucked up? No Daishi, no Ryoken, no Thor, no Cauldron Born? What the fuck is this wolf, crow, summoner, jaguar BULLshit?

>>161679036

>>161679036

PGI have no creativity,

You would think that joining either clan or IS would forever change the mech designation as it should be. But instead they just used the clan terms which a good 70% of no one uses.

>>161679036
Those are their names. Anything else is wrong.

I was under the impression that the Stormcrow was a fast mech that could go in and fuck shit up while being fast and a fucker, but that is not the case

Is Timberwolf a fast shitfucker or should I give up on the fast part and focus on fucking their shit?

>>161680010
>but that is not the case

Literally git gud. Stormcrow stronk.

>>161680161
How? Laser vomit, splat, SPL, ER LLs? Everyone camps, what do I use if I want to flank hard and shoot them inthe back while they can't return fire due to range or being extremely dead?

>>161680426
Spls and srms
or just 12 spls
is the go to stormcrow builds

Flanking and hitting semi isolated mech in the back is a matter of the map being good for it (such as bog or hpg), being patient, and taking advantage of nascars or team splits as they develop. It's not a matter of build, though going over 100kph or having jjs helps.

In some aspects it might just outright replace it

>>161680426
Nothing is going to be both fast and have incredibly high long range alphas.

Oxide and Jenner IIC are still the backstab memebots but they die hard if anyone looks at them now, a bunch of different lighter mechs can wear people down at long range but they aren't going to carry enough firepower to kill anything fast.

Stormcrow boats well and is fast enough to always be in the right place so it's an asset to a lot of different strats but it isn't a dominant hit and run mech on its own.

I was going to put battletech, but the amount of fuck awful books based on it made me gag too much. and I thought sucking dicks made me gag

But... there are nukes in BT lore.
And they do get used.
To great and devastating effect.

do heat sinks have diminishing returns? is there a sweet spot number i want to aim for? and does location matter or can i just put them anywhere?

>>161706548
If you have room and tonnage there's no reason not to.
You can always put them in legs for extra cooling while standing in water :^)
If you have engine slots aim to fill those first before all others, I think those still count as true dubs?

>>161706947
Don't forget to crit pad

>>161706548
no DR
35-40% heat efficiency unless the mech in question has heat gen quirks
put them anywhere you want but keep in mind that you gotta shield with your arms

>>161706947
OK.
I decided to cram an asymmetric Stormcrow with 6 Medium Lasers and as many Double Heat sinks as possible, then swapped three for regulars for pulses to fill extra tonnage. It feels alright.

>>161707216
Uh... post it here.

Let me know if I can make it better, MetaMechs had a 6x Med. Pulse Laser setup with 2 in each arm but I like being able to shield from range more than I like being symmetrical for brawls... but I didn't really look at quirks, so I might have missed out on something.

Compare to Wubs Asym. Version on http://metamechs.com/mwo-guides/clan-master-guides/stormcrow/

>ANY
What, are you embarrassed about something?
Stormcrow has no quirks.

>>161708127
don't you get a small bonus for not mixing omnipods?

>>161708176
Tiny XP bonus or something for running all stock pods.

>>161707568
Mixing MPL and ERMLs isnt a good idea because basically you're losing the benefits of both. You dont get the decreased face time from the pulse lasers and you dont get the extra range from the ER lasers without wasting damage and heat.

Just go with that. You don't need to fill every slot.

If you want a slightly better 6mpl, you can run it on the hellbringer for better poking and with more sinks and ecm.

Will they announce the Mad Cat II?

>>161709975
Announces the Mad Cat III to great imperial tears.

>>161709975
Oh jesus the madcat II fags are here
Even worse than the old gold men and their fleas

>>161709475
Am I losing anything significant if I flip omnipods to build my asymmetry right-handed instead of left-handed? It feels more natural to have stuff on the right.

You lose the set bonuses, if any. Mouseover any omnipod item and check if the bonuses are something you might care about.

Bloodasp announcement soon

Blood Asp would be pretty nice. A 90 ton omnimech with a good amount of harpoints and in good positions too.

I'd grab deal it. Then again I'd grab deal the Bandersnatch too.

Are any Ultra ACs still meta? Or like, what do you do with all the extra tonnage on fatties? It doesn't make sense to beat 12 SPLs on them.

>>161714085
Ultra ACs are still meta on SOME assaults, but stuff like Gauss rifles and regular ACs with bigger engines are gaining traction too.

>>161714034
>bandersnatch
>will effectively be another meta Warhammer build except with gorilla ballistics
You know that there's going to be a lot of complaining about it.

>>161714085
Unless you're taking advantage of ballistic quirks, going energy will probably do better. Besides, typically you can fill up tonnage with engines on assaults.

>>161714570
Yeah, there'd be bitching about it, but I think it's perfectly fine. Less structure quirks since the base variant comes with 10 weapon hard points.

And it'd build nicely, able to pull off the Dual gauss + XL build without fear of instant death once armour is gone, able to run 2x AC10 and 6x ML, 2x UAC5 + 2x LPL + 3x SRM6, or even just pure laser vomit with added missiles.

Not to mention one variant comes with ECM.

Hunch 4G. It was the only mech that was implemented when I first started playing.

Then when there was selection, my first robots were catapult A1, atlas D, and catapult C1.
