/gerg/ Giant Extreme Robot General

Problem 5: Support By Fire

Mission: establish a support by fire position in the vicinity of giants pass in the High Wall mountains in order to suppress the defenses opposing the attack of the 2nd Sword of Light.

Equipment: the following mechs are available for deployment from task force reserves:

Archer ARC-1W

Trebuchet

Zeus

Dragon DRG-1N

Dragon DRG-1C

Dragon DRG-1G

Jagermech

Rifleman

Hunchback

Panther

Jenner

Shadow Hawk

Dervish

Banshee

Victor

Ubernmech

Awesome

A single leopard class dropship has been allocated to transport the lance to the far side of the mountains.

All remaining mechs will remain in task force reserve.

2 re supply vehicles will be loaded with munitions and transported in the ASF bays. The Leopard will depart after deployment.

>>169752057
The LZ is approximately 60 KM from the base of the mountain, and the road to the peak of the pass is narrow and winding, and approximately 20 KM. Once over the pass, the road remains steep, winding, and with no cover to to enemies position or any aircraft. The road enters the plains in front of the Davion lines.At the peak, the high cliffs provide excellent cover from air attack.

At the top of the far side road is a rest, and staging area approximately 200m wide by 150m deep. The rim is lined with boulders up to 5m high

The DCMS operations have been severely hampered as a result of the escape of several prisoners who managed to steal 4 mechs, destroyed the task force HQ, killing general Oda and his staff, killing 40 of the best mechtechs in the force, killing 11 mechwarriors outside their mechs and destroyed the forces primary ammunition supply center.

The death of general Oda has pushed his second Sword of light into a battle frenzy. Many warriors have wasted their lives and mechs by refusing to withdraw for repairs or reload. The Sword of Light is now below 45% of its authorized strength.

The loss of 40 mechtechs has delayed repairs to heavily damaged mechs by 400% currently there are 26 mechs sidelined due to heavy but repairable damage.

The destruction of the ammunition supply center resulted in 47% of the task forces ammunition reserves being destroyed. As a measure to stretch the remaining stores, all munitions requests are being shorted by 20%

>>169752057
>>169752215
Enemies disposition:

Contact with the remnants of the mech battalion on planet has been lost. Intelligence believes that they are being held as a final reserve.

Several battalions of tanks and mechanized infantry are holding the forward defenses of a line stretching from the Seamount mountain range to the High Wall mountains. The presence of the task force primary objective ( the military vehicle production complex) is allowing the repair and refit of damaged units. On site ammunition production facilities is also ensuring few if any ammunition shortages.

Davion artillery units have range to fire along the entire front, disrupting efforts to break sections of the line with long range missile fire. The assembly area at the top of the pass is screened from artillery fire be a spur of the mountain.

Your mission is to disrupt the Davion line with long range fire from the pass while elements of the 2nd SoL assault under your cover.

If the SoL breaks through, the task force reserve will move in to exploit the breach.

If Davion command reinforces the flank, a probing attack will be launched at the opposite flank. If a breach can be made there, the 5th Galdon Regulars will attack there.

If both flanks are reinforced, the Regulars will assault the center of the line to force a breach. In that event, all effort attack will be made by all available forces.

This is the last attack that the DCMS can muster. If it fails, the task force must return in shame for not having completed the Warloards objective. Enemy reinforcements are expected within the week and our supply levels are critical.

Questions

1 what lance do you take

2 where do you draw the line and go home?

3 do you have a better plan for the DCMS? Or Davion?

Am I on /tg/?

I HATE KANUS

>tfw too intelligent for MWO

>>169752215
They should just cut their losses and retreat.

If you can't keep your prisoners locked up or even bother to put passwords on your mechs then you don't deserve to win.

Final hours. Do I buy the Javelin or a resistance hero like the asshopper or BLACKED knight?

>>169755646

>>169758448

>>169758562
The BK Hero is one of the most underwhelming heroes of the release. Dudeweedlmao is unique in a decent way but the ballistic hardpoint placement is prolly not gonna be that great.

Javelins will be alright.

Much like ED the skilltree will crash with no survivors, because PGI can't unfuck their stupidity thanks to the goldies whining about everything and especially about clans. Soon we'll see the death throes where they keep desperately tweaking some unrelated details while the main system on the PTS is spiraling down the toilet, just like ED.

In retrospect ED dying a horrible death was just funny, those idiots responsible for coming up with that dumb shit were the same ones who took part in fucking it up so it was unfixable.

Shit no one took modules for in the first place.

>>169871383
Truly these are the end of times when you aren't given a wad of cash and a blowjob for putting Radar Deprivation in your mech.

So is the era of lurms finally upon us?

All these retards will just put everything into weapons, cooling and defense with no radar dep or ecm quirks.

Even better if they are a jump sniper since thats more points away from useful things like seismic and radar dep.

Basically the skill tree is going to be a giant retard check as people forget all those modules that have been carrying them and try for more weapon quirks.

>>169871568
dammit russ stop shitposting they changed the skill tree so people wouldn't have to go through mandatory nodes in the first place and they just did it again

>>169871754
Radar Derp is overrated and snipers will have the easiest time dealing without it since they can just hide behind whatever cover they are humping.

>>169871856
Well your probably right since its always gonna be canyon network and crimson straight forever.

I can already do reasonably well with lurms as a secondary weapon. Just radar derp ruins any chance of my missiles hitting past 300 meters if they aren't an assault mech.

Literally 2-3 extra seconds of lock time would be enough to change that near miss to a hit.

>>169872019
And that's great, we need more mixed builds. Dedicated LRM boats will be exactly the same because there's cover everywhere and missiles still fly at snail speed, while builds with secondary LRMs will be more viable.

>>169872019
WOW OH MY GOD THIS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL ABILITY CALLED TARGET DECAY IS IN THE SKILL TREE BOO HOO I NEED MORE TIME TO AIM MUH LURMS REEEEE FUCK YOU PIGGI FOR WASTING MY SKILL POINTS ON ALL THE MISSILE SKILLS

Except target decay does nothing against radar derp because you lose target as soon as they break los

Usually that means that flurry of missiles hits nothing unless they were narc'd and I would have been better with a PPC or something instead because it would have hit.

If you go for normal ACs, UACs or LBX then you use the exact same nodes as you would for Gauss

So are you able to respec a mechs skills any time you want?

Or did they go full kike mode and make you buy a new mech if you want to respec?

>>169874151
They haven't done anything yet.

so wait a minute..i dont understand..
with the new skill tree will they be wiping out all the chassis quirk bonuses or will the new skill tree bonuses work alongside the existing quirks?

New skill tree is pretty interesting.

Still a lot of bloat and useless picks like fall damage and hillclimb but the weapon tree is a lot better.

Its still smarter to boat 1 type of weapon but they locked cooldown on the ballistic side and heat generation on the laser side so you can't get both without some serious points.

Mechs feel really different now. I went out with mechs with purposely small engines and could handle decently.

The biggest change is mechs Decel seems to be an exponential now meaning that if your going top speed it takes a lot longer to slow down.

It is really going to hurt the standard poke and trade since even with max agility quirks your still exposed for a lot longer than live.

Mechs do feel like lumbering warmachines and not gundams which is an odd change.

Even fast mechs like the linebacker feel different.

>>169874890
Some existing quirks get removed, some don't.

the Giga Nigga hero should be able to carry AC20 in the arm + 6 ML and a huge XL, right?

>>169876818
You shouldn't grab deal anything because there's no pre-order bonus. Wait for the mechs to come out, see what they are like, what other people think about them and then buy one if you still feel like it.

There is literally no reason to buy them now so you are objectively unintelligent if you do.

>>169876897

but it SHOULD be able to carry AC20 in the arm with a huge XL, right?

>>169877908
yes

>enabling a lower arm actuator in one arm of a clan omni mech will also enable it for the other arm

top fucking kek pgi

>>169878190
doesnt it work the same for IS?

>>169878689
no with IS your arms either have actuators or not, some omni mechs can choose

>>169878689
yes it is because of deep rooted cryengine errors

>>169879008
i think its because otherwise you would need a 3 crosshair system, one for the torso, one for the arm with lower actuator and one for the arm with actuator..which would result in a mess

wait so the solution PGI had to poptarting was to make jets completely useless as well as add a charge up to gauss as well as give you parkinsons in mid-air, instead of just making jump jets recharge significantly slower?

good job pgi

>more armor/structure
>less mobility
what kind of a fag doesn't want this?

>>169878190
It only gives you half the range and it works for a few IS mechs as well.

It's just too difficult for them to split the crosshair or they think its too difficult for us.

>>169879553
The Parkinson's was the smartest thing that came out of the entire pepsitart debacle, but the problem is that they made it so it only worked when thrust was on but not when falling. Then they killed jumpjets so that you need an obscene amount to do a little hop.

It should have been Parkinson's all the way up and all the way down, regardless of whether you even have jumpjets or not, then kept those jets powerful.

>>169881268
Nah all they had to do was reduce jump jet recharge speed to snail speed. That way poptarting would still be a viable strategy "as it should be" but your damage output would be severely limited, giving closer range mechs plenty of time to close the gap.

>>169874151
They ditched the costs to deactivate nodes but if you want to rebuy one that was already unlocked it's half xp. So a node is 60,000 c-bills and 800xp for initial unlock, 400 xp to rebuy if you deactivated it. Total costs if it is still 91 nodes maximum for one specific Mech variant is 5,460,000 c-bills and 72,800 xp and full respec is 36,400xp, though the latter isn't very likely since most would probably get a good number of nodes set and just respec weapons. Comparative cost from current mastery levels is 57,250 xp for one variant though with the forced rule of 3 is more like 128,750 xp if you only wanted one variant of a Mech anyway. Then the c-bill costs of each variant and however many modules you equipped.

>>169886184
the total cost of mastering a mech with the new system is less than one module in the current system

>>169891301
>tanky as fuck

Except you won't really see the difference because game modes are still 12-mech deathblob versus 12-mech deathblob.

You'll still get obliterated really fast by concentrated fire, in up to 4v4 you will see an increase in survivability, but the lack of mobility makes it so that unless you're holding a trench position sniping from somewhere, you're pretty much going to get violently raped by combined fire. Trading only happens at extreme ranges with ERLL's or ERPPCs now.

Mobility was the one thing that helped players, proficient players, fight against greater numbers and deathblob waves. Removing mobility makes the game into a DPS race - who has the most firepower that they can burn their opponent down faster.

>>169892913
Great.

>>169892913
Of course in true PGI fashion they have no idea what they're doing, and scale mobility down to the level of shit engines so every mech will be trash instead of scaling it to the level of good engines so every mech will be playable.

>>169890512
>>lights get utterly anally obliterated by the engine change

Why do you want someone to do that for you? Do it yourself.

git gud

Is MWO supposed to have some sort of aiming lag?

Mechs seems play like I'm playing a console port with vsync on. There's this slight, constant delay when moving the torso.

You're controlling a multi-ton machine of war. Tank turrets don't turn lightning quick either.

I don't own a Bushwacker you nigger.

finally im home..duh..anybody wanna play?
i never played group que

Why does this game seem oddly p2w... why do clans always stay on top? why doesnt pgi balance the game for the competitive scene? will mw5 even be decent with pgi behind the works?

>>169907497
Give me a few minutes then and I'll kit that up.

>>169907597
What did he mean by this?

>why do clans always stay on top?
Lorewise Clan tech, especially at the invasion, was very much superior or IS tech, In the tabletop you could take 5 IS mechs and 3 Clan mechs, each group with equal tonage, and the clanners will win about 60-70% of the time.

>why doesnt pgi balance the game for the competitive scene?
see above, Clan > IS in terms of combat machine capibility.

>will mw5 even be decent with pgi behind the works?
At least Bethesda isn't doing it.

>>169907427
Eh sure, a lot of games don't do it, though. So I was wondering if it was me.

Get out of tier 5.

Oh boy it's the turbo mega tryhard no fun allowed hours.

>>169908006
so with that logic, why even have IS mechs? if they are just inferior in every way there is literally no point in having them in the game.

>>169908805
Because both sides sell you dumb fuck.

>tfw you just want someone to play light mechs with you
>tfw no friends and have to play meme mechs just to keep moving up to tier 1

>>169909221
keep me posted

>>169908934
doesnt excuse for poor balance, when pgi doesnt even follow lore correctly. if they are gonna break lore they might as well make the game even, give each side its advantages.

Couldn't get it to come out quite the way you had your's so I fucked it up somewhere and am oblivious to where the mistake is.

IS needs a higher skillcap to do what is easy in a Clan mech.700+ damage in a Clan Shitmech? Easy. 700+ damage in an IS mech, harder to pull off.

Clan mechs are for tryhards.
