I'm just glad it seems to always have two full servers at any given time (maybe growing?). Its a good break from MWO but I still need both in my life. I like to customize my mechs, but the bigger battlefields and earning your mechs/vehicles through damage and objectives is fun. I feel like I can relax a bit in LL and enjoy myself.

Uac20 + 3 small lasers good for an adder?

>>166685024
2uac2 adder is fun

Ive never understood flamers and their affect on heat efficiency
If I remove the flamer it buffs it up by like 0.4
So do other weapons suffer because you bring a flamer?

>>166688473
Heat efficiency goes by if you're firing everything at the same time, I believe. So, going by the heat management thing's rules, yes.

Is anyone else having super annoying stutter issues on the main menu?

Are there any meta builds that pretty much never overheat?

>>166694231

lolno

You can get any robot you want on your very first day of playing the game. World of Tanks requires you to slog through a half dozen shitty tanks.

>>166694554
After that it still takes a super long time to get anything else though unless you want to buy cheaper mechs. Noobs also waste their cadet bonus on shit mechs/builds most of the time.

>>166694554

>>166694554
Imagine if you had to play shitmechs like the Commando, Kintaro and Ice Ferret back to back just to graduate into the good Mechs...!

>>166693928
Agreed. I also don't like that, especially given how long it takes to grind C-bills, that you're forced to buy certain things with MC. Things like camos, cockpit items, and other things like that. As someone with plenty of time to play but not enough money to spend on stupid F2P game cosmetic shit, I really like it when a F2P game allows you to have access to the same stuff that people who throw money at the game can get, except through normal gameplay and time. Unfortunately not many games do that, or do it in a way that makes it feasible.

I'm new and I'm not sure if I wanted heavy or assault, assault just seems better.

>>166697725
New players shouldn't use Assaults

>>166697725
>assault just seems better

There's lot of shit assault pilots who are new who think that way.

The recommended mechs to start with are mediums and heavies. The reason for this is you learn to play correctly, ie. stick with a group, focus fire on targets, learn to torso twist, maneuver tactically to avoid being flanked or rushed.

Assaults require knowledge of the game to use correctly. Anyone who can't consistently do at least 500 damage in an assault is fucking over their team and needs to go back to the academy.

>>166697725
There's basically two assaults (variants, not even chassis) in the game that are actually decent. All the other assaults are just shitmechs that perform mostly because everyone is retarded.

>>166698061
>>166697914
I dunno I'm just tier 4 pilot but it seems like the meta is 'group up the most and obliterate people who dare poke' and then with the number advantage you just steam roll.

>>166694767
>warthunder grind
>any where near as bad as wot
You can literally play any tank/plane in a nation and earn experience to unlock any other tank/plane of that nation, on top of being able to one shot shit that's higher battle rating than you if you know where to aim. Shit is light years ahead of wot grind, and taking 12 shots to fucking kill something two tiers above you.

What's a realistic amount of damage one should be looking to put out per game? Don't give me any of those bullshit meme answers, just looking to see what's average

>>166699251
500 with at least one KMDD.

>>166699251
Depending, on assaults and heavies if you cant break 250 damage you shouldnt be using them
For shitmechs its expected to get under 200 damage but still bad

So 130 front CT armour on a huelander still ends up melting just as fast as before.

>>166699251

You're not going to like this answer, but it depends on your team composition, your build, the mode, and the enemy team composition and skill level, also the length of the game.

300 damage with a pinpoint damage mech is much different than 300 damage with a laser vomit mech.

300 PPFLD is multiple dead or at least opened components. 300 laser damage could be insignificant if spread across multiple mechs.

1k+ PPFLD is extremely good, and basically a solo team kill no matter how shitty your aim was.

1k spread damage can be just as good, but is much more dependent on player skill in aiming full duration. 1k damage poorly aimed might be nothing if spread across the entire enemy team.

Here is an example of an extremely good match with 4x ERLL hellbringer. Not only is it an ace, but the 6 KMDD is significant, for 928 long duration laser damage.

More average is like 500-600 with a 2-3 kmdd, assuming I survive the whole game and play conservatively.

>>166699251

and here is an example of a high damage game where I had extremely shitty aim

1700 damage with only 4 kmdd with large pulse lasers is so bad that it almost looks like I was farming damage on purpose

basically your damage number alone doesnt matter

your damage divided by your KMDD is a better way to gauge your effectiveness

What's all this about modules and skills changing? Should I be spending my gxp or saving it?

>>166728008
Save it. Spend XP on mechs, buy modules all you want, but don't sell and mods you buy, and don't convert XP or GXP.
GXP and XP is going to be converted to Legacy XP for the new skill tree system, and all your modules are going to be refunded.
But if you sell the mods back now you can only sell them for half the initial buy value.

>>166728158
I was saving up for radar deprivation and I'm nearly there. Should I wait?

>>166729702
The GXP and cbills you spent on modules should be refunded when the skill system happens, so you can get it or not and it won't matter.

Some maps like grim plexus are an extra degree of turboshit because you actually need your team to not be subhuman degenerates and cover the flanks, which is what they never do because they're fucking retarded, and for some reason the game has shifted into instant steamroll meta where one team just walks over the other 0-12 every single match and unkillable nigger shitteroid mechs with +10000 armor and structure just freely walk across the entire map through some secret passage and kill everyone.

Piggy had to have secretly changed the matchmaking system because I'm getting matched up retarded aidsshitters like people who can't even aim and move at the same time in trial mechs, they can't be anything other than tier 5 but I shouldn't be able to be matched up with tier niggerdick if the matchmaking actually worked the way piggy claims it does.

Tier 5 is for the players that don't want to hide their gigantic walking tanks with the firepower to level a city behind buildings and terrain all day and actually get out there and fight. Likewise Tier 1 is where the meta tryhards hang out with their single Clan build that everyone else on their team is required to also take in order to be muh competetive in the thinking man's shooter that features the highest skilled tournaments in e-sports.

Redpill me on IS weapons lads, are any of them competitive versus the perfection that is clam Small/Medium Pulse/Lasers, UACs and Gauss/Pepsi?

>>166785850
If you like your lasers to not have incredibly long durations, IS pulse weapons are for you.

>>166785850
IS autocannons are good because they're single projectiles. The IS AC/20 is better than the UAC/20 because of this.

The problem is IS weapons all weigh more.

>>166785850
Clan ERLL is unusable dogshit, the IS one is good on heavies and assaults that can boat them in high mounts

>>166801215
>great

let's not exaggerate things

Is streak dog still good or was it nerfed into the ground?

>>166801605
Streaks are awful, Streak Dog does it best/second best vs. Streak Crow (stronger engine vs. 6th Streak 6) but you won't be very effective vs.anything bigger than an Ice Ferret

>>166798382
Because bad.

Well, it's okay, PPFLD and all, but Catapult doesn't have the greatest hitboxes, mounts or Pepsi quirks. You can do better.

>>166801605
>>166802359
What is streak dog? I assume a MDD with the 6x missile side torsos boating streaks? Also what makes streaks so good against smaller targets but weaker against bigger ones?

>>166802627
>Also what makes streaks so good against smaller targets but weaker against bigger ones?
Damage spreads like nuts. Smaller target means more missiles still hitting center and of course much thinner armor. Streaks don't do a tremendous amount of damage but they do consist damage. Which is a light's worst nightmare.

>tfw got my 5mil Cbill injection

it's not worth buying a 3rd of the same mech to get the elite skills right?

thinkin of getting the hunchback IIC and x2 EPPC with a targeting system for poptart/hillhump unless someone else is better at hill humping

>>166802627
>Also what makes streaks so good against smaller targets but weaker against bigger ones
They always hit (good vs. lights)
The damage goes everywhere (bad vs. heavy stuff)
Paper thin Lights can't deal with unavoidable damage even if the damage is going everywhere, since they just don't have the health for it. Fat stuff can, and then laughs at you for dealing 72/6 = 12 damage to each section instead of 72 pinpoint to the CT

>>166802885
Hunch IIC is okay, I like the ballistic version more. That and the Niggyr. Twin Pepsi jumping is good and IIC does it very well, but it's just hot, I don't like the play style.

Factually incorrect. It's only the Mechwarrior devs being faggots about the whole "walking tank" bullshit.

There's a fuckton of great massive, small, military, magical, weak, powerful, stompy or fast robot games out there which have absolutely no problem adding melee and making it fun.

Shaq hands are shaped they are because when the robot was made, most competiting designs were using copies of copies of copies of the TH design for their cockpit assemblies, said cockpit assemböy fitting perfectly in the shaq's hand, and leading to a gruesome and violent death for anyone who engaged a shaq in close combat.

Why does Shaq have a black hole under its gun

>>166831679

>>166829507
Take a stock UM-R60L and swap the 60 engine and two heat sinks for a 100 standard engine and Endo Steel. The same loadout with an AC/20 and Small Laser now goes 54kph to keep up with Assaults instead of 32 kph and getting left behind.

If you are using a squishy 100 XL on an UrbanMech to save 0.5 tons compared to the tanky 100 Standard you are doing it wrong. But if you are going to do it then start with the stock UM-R60L, remove three heat sinks to leave six remaining , add a 100XL that has 4 built in heat sinks and swap the standard internals for Endo Steel then use the extra tonnage for 1.5 tons more ammo to go from 7 shots to 17. And if you ditch the jump jets add another ton of ammo for 24 shots. If you want to go further ditch armor for mor ammo.
