>>170079138
>>170079352
Why bring a gauss rifle along with lasers that can't add much to the optimal engagement range? Just use double pepsi like everyone else.

>>170079637
You add the gauss to the optimal engagement range of your lasers, that's how gauss vomit works. Might not be as efficient as the Clan equivalent but it work just fine on anything agile.

Is Firebrand a good platform for it? Well it has nice quirks for it and can definitely go very fast and has high mounts so I don't see why not.

>>170079916
why would you ever mix a gauss with medium lasers when you can take an AC20 with medium lasers?

>>170080320
a) velocity
b) heat
c) range
d) critical slots
e) they both have the exact same damage potential

>>170079352
I rarely put xl in heavies.

>>170079637
I dont alpha every shot, something about a guass on jagger that attracts lights ands meds who dont think Ill have more than two lasers and for pepsi snipers I use a cplt k2 or jester.

>>170080320
have to take laser out of arm to fit ac20 so I have that build on a jm6 s.

>>170080935
>exact same damage potential

look m80, the goose is superior to the ac20 in many ways, that make it almost always the superior choice on 95% of mech choices, but suggesting that the ac20 doesn't do more damage either in terms of straight up numbers, in terms of dps, or in terms of burst damage is straight up retarded

>>170080935
no, if you're taking a goose, you want erll's to back it up. that TT /tg/ shit don't work in MWO. the upcoming BT game from HBS might work much closer to the TT than any MW title has, but we don't know for sure yet.

In MWO you want your weapons ranges to mesh well. with that goose and mpl's you're either shooting a slug every now and then at range... or wubbing close in, with the brawl twitching and moving too fast too accurately place your goose slugs properly. that's WHY goosepepsi has been the meta since forever. you play turretwarrior online : a game of tower defence. instead of MWO.

>>170080935

>The gauss goes to 1k, the Mlas goes to 250.
>Same range

????

>>170081687
I'm talking about ac20 damage numbers not fucking jagermechs

Don't ever fucking reply to me kiddo

>>170081402
Actually I was wrong. The Gauss has more damage potential per ton but at a healthy 3 tons worth of ammo they are the same. At 2, 4 or even 5 the Gauss comes out on top.

>>170081724
Gauss gives you far more flexibility with engagement ranges than an AC20 would, this is obvious. But when combined with the lack of ammunition required to fire lasers, you can more comfortably engage targets beyond the optimal range of your lasers because you know your Gauss will still do full damage. At 405m your Medium lasers are still doing half damage, beyond 340m the AC20 does less damage than a Gauss rifle.

If you want to use an AC20 with Medium lasers then you make a brawler because that's where the AC20 is king. Gauss and lasers are for second line poking and harassing, but you need an agile mech to do it.

>>170082637
>counting ammo as damage
>someone actually being this retarded

Next you'll tell me that lrms are the most damaging weapon by your calculations.

>>170082821
How else would you decide how much ammo you need?

>>170082904
20 to 30 shots is enough

>>170082945
Why is 20 to 30 shots enough?

>>170083363
I go 30-40 its just about how much you need for one drop. I got that number by if im not using all the ammo and staying alive for the whole round and/or a lack of kills theres something wrong and need more dps vs ammo.

>>170085404
Could you say that in English?

If you don't have enough ammo to kill the entire enemy team with highly efficient damage placement, you're a burden to your team

>>170086450
And how do you determine what is enough?

>>170086520
I dunno about him, but usually most people do that by playing the game and adding more ammo if they keep running out every match. And most people tend to find 2 to 2.5 tons to be enough unless you're really good at surviving in which case 3 may be more appropriate.

More energy weapons also generally means less ammo needed per weapon because you're going to be waiting for heat to cool off more often, so you don't fire so much anyway.

>>170087097
The point I'm getting at that in the end it comes down to damage.

Fuck shit plexus, every time I play that map I get nothing but shit in my fucking mouth because my team is terminally retarded pozzers with negative situlational awareness and still dont know how to play the trash map they're voting.

niggerafaggotshitrapeaids mother fucking fuck kill yourselves stupid fucking fucks

why is everyone fucking braindead, why are all the maps purposefully made to be diseased fucking shit, why the fuck is the hit detection always so fucked up, choke on fucking dicks

>>170090135
muh team

>>170087228
Damage isn't a good indicator because some weapons reload more slowly than others and some are less accurate than others. Clan UACs need more "damage" loaded onto a mech than a Gauss Rifle because it simply cannot keep on target nearly as well in most situations.

Which is what the other guy was saying. LRMs need the most ammo per weapon by far because they are so inaccurate, though you can get away with less if the build is a laser + missile hybrid. The best way for LRMs is to count the number of full salvos that can be fired and then using experience to judge how many salvos you really need, whether it is normal matches or CW.

Fucking retarded niggertard spawn points on every fucking map, fucking braindead shitnoob trash, fucking garbage subhumans straight out of satans diseased ball sack doing nothing but being fucking retarded every fucking match, fucking go die from aids son of a whore gargling infinite cocks

>>170091379
Of course it depends on the weapon type no shit.

No you idiot, they wanted to see the gun that they put in their mech, actually on their mech. The change in geometry is only relevant on LRMs and even then only in a few cases.

>>170116893
Not true in the slightest, they just autismed out that the weapons weren't reflected. Dynamic weapon geometry never had anything to do with hitboxes for players. Gauss rifles do not add any real amount to the hitboxes. You are fucking retarded.

I really thought Hawken was better, just no playerbase. The main issue was the aggressive pay to skip to later mechs and guns. The movement, combat, and graphics are pretty good though.

I HATE DISCORDEEN

I wouldn't worry about it. If you want the history, basically it came down to a handful of ark survival kongeers trying discord out. When it was free vs 300 bucks for another 2 year contract for Mumble, had double the OPUS bandwidth, and much cleaner ACL settings, it was a no brainer and stopped dropping by the soon-to-be unpaid Mumble server. Another handful of people (myself included) saw this as an epic shitpost opportunity and effectively trolled both sides into taking an "us vs them" mentality. The creme de la creme shitpost came when someone impersonating norris convinced vass that the discordians sent an ultimatum to join or be left behind. If you ask him, he will cite his viking fanfiction post and say mumbleers are his chosen people.

Again, I wouldn't worry about it because all the important k-lords use both. If you are concerned, please apply inside. As for why it's not posted in the thread is because Kakos Karlos (a 4chan mod and mumbleer) will hand out a 3 day ban if you post it.

fuck you the awesome missile cancer is by far the best implementation of all geometries, sans LRM 5. Even this is a decent geometry though. If you are using an lrm 5 on an awesome, you deserve all pain and suffering you will get.

yes i put a beagle in there because i was left with 1.5 tons and not enough slots for a last DHS but you can put a medium and a small laser together in the CT

but you can do lasers/lrms laser/srms or full energy its very very versatile

also i like that all the hardpoints are either cockpit level or even above, so when you see something you can be sure you can hit it

and in the end it has missile doors on the side torsos which make you take less damage on the torsos which is good if you have XL

the main advantage is as you said, the eccm. since if you ARE firing off missiles a light WILL try to kill you. and the POTATO patch rejects you'll be solo dropping into quickplay with will flat out refuse to pay attention to a buttfuck light unless you counter its ecm, paint it with 'enemy spotted, AND voip call it out to the team.

doing one or two of these things will have the potatoes going Lol there's nothing there!

>even when it's facefucking the sniper retards with their adv. zoom on top of default FOV.

anyhoo, here's my tempy.

enough missiles to farm dmg and splat over things (lrm 10 + a grouping is actually component tight, so yeah, uit's not terribad) and the lasers make a great stab. farmed cd's and kills off my own splatt'd mechs. also, you won't believe how many assists and saviour kills you get nuking things attacking your team. you just play the tempest as a support and it will reward you in piles of cbills out the ass.

>i also auto-counter the ECM of a light if he tries to rush me without me having to switch my own ECM to counter

Not true, BAP + ECM doesn't work that way. When both are equipped together, ECM overrides the BAP's counter-ECM ability, meaning you have to switch ECM's mode to ECCM.

Ask anyone from these threads.

the majority of the player base are downs kittens. they're that bad. everyone has stories up to their ears of trying to herd the potatoes and cats.

They can't use voip in game or out to communicate ANYTHING at all, let alone make USEFUL voip calls.

they refuse to focus fire on anything

>>170205359
Not using voip, not focusing fire or using shitmechs or shitbuilds are the least of the problems the shitters have. There's so many players who clearly have no idea what the fuck they're doing, and voting shitty maps, and being horrible at playing those maps while voting for them anyway. Basic tactics and common sense escape them.

>>170207961
he IS kind of right though.

the 4sp is fucking beautiful for srm bombing AND mpl'ing for a truly vicious brawler. the reason you use lrm's on the archer is the missile doors.

even if you put arm's in the side torso you still have the doors that cripple your sides' armour when you fire them and they open the side.

which is suicide in a close in knife fight of a brawl.

is the 6 ASRM6 + ASRM4 Cyclops any good?

>>170208740
I do swap it to a brawler. Still sort of new so I have like, 5 mechs currently.

>>170208869
Just use 7asrm4 or 7srm4, I've ran into some of those lurking corner cyclopses and that shit fucking hurts.

>>170209974
Is that worth the added heat cost when you're an Assault and already taking on the heat of 7 SRM hardpoints at once?

quad mechs when?

>>170207961

the 4SP is superior due to the insane structure quirks. you're only getting a slight decrease in missile cooldown

So anons, what's a good mech for someone who, er, lacks good targeting abilities? I mean, I don't suck, but only in the sense that I can occasionally land a kill. I've ran a lot of jumping mediums in the past, but I'm pretty open to trying to achieve non-suckage.

Also, on an unrelated note, how bad does the Rifleman suck? Because I'm tempted, not gonna lie.

Splatdog or Splatcrow

>>170211992
Unless you kill the mech by your lonesome, there's always a chance someone else will get the kill. Don't worry about kills, worry about damage done.

Rifleman is good, personally I like the Jagermech a little more.

Streaks on a stormcrow or a huntsman, and exclusively go after enemy lights or light mediums. Out fucking skilled

Streak Adder and Streak Stormcrow - it's hilarious and actually useful against anything that's already a little beat up.

What would your salvage/C-bill ratio be?

For example, let's take the GenCon mission. Would you expect a large C-bill payoff since it sounds like you get all the salvage from the base.

Although, as I think about it, you keeping all the salvage may be what house Kurita wants, and may reduce C-bill payment if they have to discreetly dispose of salvage anonymously.

And what about Overload? Wouldn't it stink if you don't get any salvage, so the atlas goes to your employer?

I don't think that would ever be the case unless your employer really really hated you or wanted to set you up for the company store approach for keeping you after the contract expires.

How much do you all think the Linebacker is going to cost in c-bills?

How's that skill tree coming, my dudes?

My money is that it won't be released on the 21st like they said. It'll get released in April, maybe May.

YAWN..another monday morning..LAWL..
i have a question for ya'll
why does a shitmech like the hunch 4J have 35% bonus cooldown reduction on LRMs while a robot like the Archer hero that is a support mech and a chassis literally built around the use of lrms have only a shitty 10% in velocity?

like, who the fuck decided these bonuses?
did they just give them out at random?
