No. The only clan gundam that got turbo kwirks on its launch was the arctic cheater.

It's the continued use of enormous CT crotches to get torso twist clearance that has the intended side effect of making crotch shots more viable than shooting the actual center torso. In this case also the arms are so high up you can shoot right under them since they aren't shielding that area.

Huntress, Shivaxi are most popular in the US and I've never had any connection issues on either, full server or otherwise.

What server(s) are you having trouble with?

>>168440804
Shitaxi is a lagfest for me during """"""peak"""""" hours with mechs warping all over the place.
t. yuropian with nominally 120 ping

Did they unfuck the shilltree yet?

>>168441048
Because the stupid cunt is "experimenting" with trying to see how many players his server can handle and constantly pushes it over reasonable limits, opening it up to 32 players at times.

>>168438143
>Seems they overestimated the pocket depth of their player base again.

They don't seem to realize that PGI is squeezing the cow for all it it worth.
They should just wait with this shit and then offer it like a week before a new mech from PGI is about to drop.

What's up with the push memes becoming the new meta in quick play, every match I played today except one ended in a huge bloodbath on first contact.

>>168455342
>push memes
Are you really complaining that people want to brawl and finish a match quickly?

>>168455835
I'm not complaining, it's just a radical change from the usual. Like I logged in today after a few days of not playing, and all of the sudden everyone's playing really aggressively and the brawls are balling out of control.

Here lies /gerg/, he never scored

>>168463153
Nah, most of the people who work there are just peons. Only the top execs are dickholes.

What mech do I buy after the Timberwolf.

>>168463874
If you like big and heavy, try a battlemaster.
If you like smaller and speedy, try a stormcrow.
If you like jumpy, try a shadowhawk.

>>168456740
my guess is people are getting tired of the 10 minute and more LRM trading with everyone behind cover.

I enjoy it when I have dozens of insane rookies to throw around with incendiary grenades bulging under their stylish jumpsuits. It's less fun when I have 3 titans and one of them can't stand up from a crouch and just faceplants into the mud.

Buy MC to respec "for cheap" or just don't make retarded builds that you have to remake later.

Incidentally I can actually see this hurting player numbers as it makes it even harder for potatoes to fix their mechs whenever they get tired of being in Tier 5. They would quit when they get tired of grinding the necessary resources to respec before they reached those goals.

>>168480443
Russ is tired of the players exploiting the Mechlab system for the last five years by being able to freely customize their variants with different weapons and swapped modules, so now will try and force people to start buying Mechbays for MC to have duplicate variants of a single Mech just to have alternate loadouts that are upgraded differently in their skill trees, by making the cost to just get a new Mech seem less expensive than eating the cost of respecing the skill tree for one variant every time you want to test a new weapon to its full potential.

- How do i spot a DOA-mech aka SuperDOA?
- It suppers spoopy heat/internal damage even on official promo wallpaper.

>>168483875
OMG I remember that game.

>>168430543
Ok so a couple of questions
1) How are more than three weapons going to look on the arms?
2) How are ballistics going to look on the arm?
3) How are several missiles and energy weapons going to look on the side torsos?

I have concerns that Superdoa might have terminal cancer on arrival.

>>168485439
1) probably a triangle and a central spot. They're all energy so that's the most logical.
2) No idea.
3) My guess is something along the lines of the Linebacker.

>>168475904

Best tier i ever been, too bad i got out there quickly. I do like potatoes, they make memeguns and flamers oh so viable. And shitbuilds, and sudden buttrape and etc etc. All in all i like tier5.

t. tier 2

>>168486352
>implying the 4th energy is going to be in the center and not just a random cancer box on the side

>>168486403

>>168486980

Why does this game stutter so fucking much?

>>168487693
in what way, some of it might be your computer. Some might be servers. Some might be from neither.

>>168487785
Well at the start of a match I can't even move for the first ~40 seconds because the frame rate drops to 0 as soon as I move the camera and during play it constantly skips frames. It didn't used to do this at all and other games play just fine.

>>168487892
sounds like you have a shit fucking PC

>>168487892
That is most odd. When the match starts and I can see myself I can move pretty much immediately.

>>168487910
See the last part of the post? Read it.

>>168487961
post specs or shut up you fucking retard

>>168487892
That's pretty bizarre. Maybe there's something wrong with the installation since they use a shitty patcher, you should run the repair tool.

>>168488063
I use the Steam version, maybe I shouldn't?

maybe you'd stop having fps issues if you stopped playing on a laptop

>>168488201
What are your computer's stats?

>>168488201
I don't use the steam version and haven't had any issues, so it's hard to say but suppose it's worth a shot.

I have to admit, I'm pretty baffled by this present reality where mech games are being made by Canadian companies. The Heavy Gear IP is originally Canadian (Dreampod 9 is based in Montreal), and Mektek is also based in New Brunswick.

From it's inception, BT has offered an abstracted hex-based movement system. The math behind it led to 'Mechs with an odd-number of walking MPs effectively receiving a "free" .5 MP due to rounding up, i.e. 3/5, 5/8 and 7/11. Furthermore, there are well known cutoffs in the target movement modifier based on the number of hexes moved which also fall on the same odd numbers, specifically at 3 hexes, 5 and 7 hexes moved. As a longtime BT TT players, knowing this invariably influenced both my 'Mech selection as well as informed the discrete movement of my individual 'Mechs during a game.

While I could write a serious wall of text about all my personal gripes concerning hex-based movement, I'll spare everyone the rant. Suffice it to say, I'm thrilled that HBS is completely abandoning it in favor of their own movement system. From what little I can discern from the latest Q&A it sounds as if each class of 'Mech will get a base TMM according to their size and then that base will be modified by the actual movement of the 'Mech (and then other modifiers such as environment, etc are added)

One of the lovely little details from the original TRO: 3025 is that the Wasp has a top speed of 66.5 kph, the Stinger of 63.4 kph, the Commando 64.8 kph and the Javelin 67.3 kph and yet they are all considered 6/9 'Mechs in terms of the hex-based system.

Allowing for minor variations in speed, such as in TRO: 3025, for what would otherwise be identical (in terms of movement) BattleMechs on a traditional board, can only add to the flavor of the overall game by increasing the differentiation between models. Unfortunately, it appears these changes will be derived using the Normal Distribution, i.e. the classic Bell Curve.

"Speeding up" the slowest 'Mechs while "slowing down" the fastest 'Mechs only amplifies the fundamental differences between the two design philosophies. Slower 'Mechs use lighter engines, favoring armor and weapons over mobility. Fast 'Mechs choose heavier engines over armor and armament to maximize mobility. In effect, this change favors heavier, slower BattleMechs over faster, more mobile machines by speeding up the Assaults while simulatenously slowing down the Scouts. It just seems so fundamentally wrong to me given that HBS seemed to be making an effort to increase the utility of light 'Mechs. I see now that perhaps I'm guilty of equivocating "light" with "fast" 'Mechs.

However great or small this change may ultimately prove to be, as presented, it boosts slow assaults while penalizing fast machines.

Here is something which is actually a bit old... and actually pretty dingy... I painted my Atlas. This is from the old Battletech set so the model is real rough and not formed well. I primed it, painted it and used a new wash I just got today. This was my practice mech, once I get the hang of it I want to start painting my newer ones. I might add some highlights because the wash made it kind of dark:

Boiler seems like it'll be fairly competent at dual pepsigoose.
Depends on hitboxes, really, but not having lower back issues and not having all the weapons in the arms already makes it better than Kojak and Scorch.
Plus strugglejets.

>>168528536
Name a single assault that doesn't have a front profile that's easy to pick out each side torso?

>>168528651
most of them nowhere near as easy as the super to be honest

>>168527994
Glad I bought it, concept art did not disappoint.

>>168528536
I don't know.
The torso is pretty long, it may not be a marauder but it should still be able to generate a lot of spread with some microwiggle.

>>168528651

exactly, every single assault is too easy to smack down

Don't forget besides 12 machineguns it packs 2 ER Medium Lasers and an ER Small as well. So 15 hardpoints if it was added to MWO, unless PGI retcons the machineguns into being arrays of 3-4 per weapon.

Bane, 100 ton clan assault battlemech with 14 ballistic hardpoints, you can fit a lot of memeguns in there :^)

How do ranges work in MWLL?
Are lasers all-or-nothing or do they get attenuated past some point?

How much ammo is enough ammo for a 4x SRM6 + 5x SPL Heavy? I keep running out even with 6 tons and no explosions

>>168527467
Obligatory thin your paints.
it's fine

Black Lanner never.

>>168533536
Black Lanner was so fun to play in MW4, nothing boated SRM4s quite like it
Even the Arctic Wolf was outclassed

>>168527458
the linebacker does it well enough, 3 alphas before overheating

>>168533661
Linebacker does 6SPL + 3MGuns better :)

How do I use/why do I need Jump Jets for brawling? Like, how does it help me? It seems alright for jumping over small hills to get to the fight, but I'm not using it much/any in combat. What's it for?

>>168533772
I remember trying that, the LBK-C does that pretty well with stock omnipods.
As soon as I tried the SPL+SRM on the redline though I couldn't go back to memeguns.

>>168533772
Losing that left torso really screws you in that build sadly

>>168533910
It's so you can overheat better by smashing that mf JJ button like the ape you are.

>>168533364
>I keep running out even with 6 tons and no explosions

So you're saying you regularly do over a thousand damage just from the srms, plus several more hundred from the lasers, and you're annoyed you run out?

>>168535098
Yes.

>>168535153
Well, too bad. Enjoy your quads.

>>168533910
So you can shouruken yourself into the air spinning like a moron, and hope people shoot your legs or arms while you're spinning like your name is Sheev.

Should I set up my SRM T-Wolf like this:

Wish MWO would take a page from MWLL on strugglejets.
I.e. make them actually powerful, but with a prohibitive heat cost to use.

Jumpjets help in three situations.

One, mobility. You can take shortcuts to get around the battlefield, attack from better angles like on mining or hpg or canyon.

Two, attack. If you're using srms with artemis against mobile enemies, you're going to have to lead your target and the artemis works by setting the distance at which the missiles reconverge is based on whatever your aim is set on. If you're above the enemy, then it's the ground in front of a forward moving mech, the missiles will converge more or less correctly as opposed to in a bigger swarm.

Even without artemis, by jumpjetting and attacking from above them, the missiles will mostly spread out on the top of their torsos and possibly just one component, as opposed to all over.

Lastly, defense. By jumpjetting you're able to turn very quickly, jump to spread damage from just your torsos but also your legs, and generally throw off the 90% of the playerbase who has trouble aiming.

>>168535493
Good jumpjets are more fun.
Doesn't matter how they're balanced to not be OP, but fun should be foremost.

>>168536262
I think MWLL really nailed them desu.
Nothing feels better than performing the Leaping Facerape Manoeuvre in a dual UAC20 MkII.

>>168524259

The idea was you were throwing 20 large bullets in close range for an ac20 and only 2 at long range for an AC2.

Tier 1 gameplay

>>168542285
The latter is superior to the former since you're going to be shot more in your sides than your arms, and once you burn through the torso ammo they'll be safe, but both are inferior because they have zero jumpjets.

>>168542819
>once you burn through the torso ammo they'll be safe
Is that how ammo works? It uses the closest ammo first?

>>168547367
There's a specific ammo chart somewhere that shows the default use of ammo from component to component. I forget the exact order but the gist is head, torsos, arms, then legs.

If ammo is in the same location as the launcher, it prioritizes that ammo first.
