>>174189138
In MWO, just like everywhere nowadays, there are people who complain about things just to complain, they really are that desperate for attention.

>>174189138
The funny part is piggy made some of the heroes not worth getting now. Gargoyle hero? Lol who gives a shit, new c-bill variant does everything better for the chassis. Shadowcat hero? Rofl who gives a fuck. Arctic cheetah? Nigger are you serious?

Some stupid niggers are going around "URF DURF HURRGH EGGSECUTER WIF 4 MISSILES AND 7 LASERS IS POWERFULL ENUFF."

I wanted the exe to finally mature into a unique role for the clan stable, to be the cyclops missile boat for them.

But no, instead it's shitty timber wolf brawl build, because stupid niggers look at numbers thinking that's what its all about.

>>174189138
The gold warriors intially bought the game so they could play their favorite IS shitmech.

Of course most of them are going to be fishing for buffs all the time even though many IS mechs are pretty stupid right now with quirks.

>>174189138
At least now I'm looking forward to a 2 HSML/8 HMG Mist Lynx.

Where people really that terrified of 6 SRM Executioners? It doesn't even have enough tonnage to make good use of it.

Oh no it can use a loadout on a mech that's considered passable on something half its size.

>tfw slice of life anime with tsundere kakos kolos room mate who is a klord

any reason the spurdo and executioner have locked ferro but no endo?

>>174192107
Balancing by the TT devs I guess. Endo steel has always been more efficient. But from a lore point of view you have to pretty much rip out the skeleton of the mech to replace it. FF you can just take armor off and put on its replacement.

It might be cheaper too, I dunno.

>>174192107
Lore

>>174191675
Yeah, people were complaining that Exe with 6x missile harpdoints (when cyclops already does 7 + 3 energy) would have been powercreep and overpowered.

Which is retarded.

An executioner using all 6 of those missile hardpoints would have either ran 6x Streak 6's with 7,5 tons of ammo and an active probe, or regular SRM6's with Artemis and 10-11 tons of ammo and a couple extra heatsinks.

>>174192359
>It might be cheaper too, I dunno.

It is cheaper in lorewise (or in-setting to put it in laymans terms) to have standard battlemech internal structure compared to endo-steel.

Using zero-G manufacturing techniques that uniformly mix high-density steel with lower-density titanium and aluminum, the process produces a metal twice as strong per unit of weight as standard skeleton materials thus halving the weight of the chassis, but at an increase in overall bulk.

While clans have greater access to endo-steel manufacturing capabilities that they have retained and improved upon during the centuries of their isolation compared to the inner sphere that went hand over fist blowing each other up, endo-steel is still difficult and time-consuming to manufacture, leading to any omni- or battlemechs with endo-steel to become considerably more expensive to produce.

Ferro-fibrous armour on the other hand Utilizes a weave of ferro-steel, ferro-titanium, and diamond weave fibers which boosts the tensile strength of the plating, it provides more protection per ton than standard armor (12% for Inner Sphere FF, 20% for Clan FF), but takes up more space on the 'Mech or vehicle. Cheaper to produce, provides weight savings, keeps costs of mass manufacturing down.

The thing with mechs that had endo or both endo and ferro as part of their chassis in-setting was that they were helluva expensive to produce, and thus were rather rare. Timber Wolves were prized possessions for decades during and after the clan invasion because of their rarity.

>>174194170
Rarity is something that's not often taken into consideration in Battletech from a gameplay point of view. Especially in the video games.

Even if they try to do it, everyone ends up using Clan mechs and equipment at the end of the game regardless of rarity.

Depends on how much of a man you are. That build works. I like running a 4 ERML and UAC20 for a high speed, high durability brawler. But it has clear shortcomings.

It's more important to get used to using managing MASC. Using it to dip back into cover or to turn surprisingly fast.

>>174219530

>goes fast
>also 20 heatsinks so you don't overheat

>>174219619
Spirit bear is overrated desu. It doesn't have the Atlas structure or twist speed to really do what you think it can do.

Also the SRMs are oddly placed so they don't shoot where you think they will.

It's a good flank brawler but it can't square off with IS brawlers.

I would go with the Scorch since the MadIIC can tank hits for days. That LBX20/SRM wombo combo will destroy anything you hit in the back with it.

So what is worth pre-ordering from Civil War?

Annie looks interesting but it looks like it's gonna be really bad even if threatening for an IS Direwolf.

>that head
>that protruding CT

>>174220591
Long CT or STs don't matter if the primary weapon system is DPS based such as rotary autocannons.

>>174220591
in terms of power:

Mad Cat MK II is much better than everything else there.

Anni will be pretty decent, good at best and okay at worst. Pretty impossible to be bad and is the ultimate ballistics boat on the IS side, but slow.

Cougar is going to be stronger than people expect I think. Lots of energy boating works well on the Purifier, and the Cougar can do 8/9SPL itself like it with more cooling. Of course it goes slower, though. But I don't think it's gonna be as dead on arrival as people think.

Uziel should be pretty good. You'll see a lot of dual ST ballistic Uziels, and that's what it's gonna be best at, but overall it has some decent variants around. It looks like a lot of fun, maybe won't shake the meta too much, but it's not going to be bad.

>>174221456
Between Light Fusion Engine and all the new ballistics available, there's no way the Annihilator will be bad. You can boat either of the new rotaries, boat the new variations of Ultras or hell even the default x4 AC10 will be pretty damaging.

>>174221747
It will absolutely need RACs to do well, otherwise a Kodiak will just do quad LB10 or whatever better.

>>174221747
The Dire Wolf is, while not a bad mech, still unused widely because of it's speed though. I don't think the Annihilator will be dissimiliar to it. Like I said, it won't be bad and will definitely deal out damage, but the agility might well make it a still suboptimal choice compared to something like the Kodiak.

>>174218442
I remember when you could trip a light mech as it ran to close to your Atlas feet. Then some twelve year old cried and Paul yanked it out for being "unfair".

And I still think about buy more robot costumes. Help me, /gerg/!

>>174221894
>>174221912
I think the point is that IS will be able to do these same kinds of builds. With the better shot profile of the IS ballistics.

((( KONG I.S.S. Official MRBC field report of 15th of April 2017 )))

Now what did we learn?

a) We should plan much sooner who is going to play in what game and in what mech
b) Scouts need to be more vigorous so the team can be more advised, lack of information is a death sentence to a passive team
c) We play better when we move and engage together, our drop decks should reflect on that
d) Every attempt at a strategy failed miserably
e) Nobody likes Legionnaire

Conclusion:

Either Kong should develop a tight schedule for training in house 8v8 matches so we can actually have a chance at pulling off some kind of fancy moves in MRBC and not get instantly steamrolled due to our timing and lack of preparation being off (highly unlikely). Or we simply stick to good old fashioned oddball scouts and death-ball huddles because we can easily out-shoot our Division C competition.

Why don't you guys make drop decks for each drop and fill people in based on what they can play. Also people will have their mechs already built.

Now instead of looking for a light pilot on drop 5 you know 3 people with lights ready to go and you know what mech its going to be.

>b
There really wasn't that much communication on what was happening on the losing drops. Kong just kind of moves as a unit without communication and it works well for pugs but not in a tournament format. Perhaps its time to subdivide tasks like have 1 target caller, 1 person calling the team movement and 2 dedicated scouts relaying information for the team.

>c
This kind of goes back to the preset drop decks thing. If you know what mechs your going into the drop with beforehand you can plan out movements knowing your towing slow mechs or fast ones accordingly.

It seems like all the teams use their fast mechs to harrass the slower mechs forcing you guys on the defensive because you have a spider on your back.

>d
Some of the drops were solid when you forced the enemy team to make a move like on drop 5 with the lights capping and having all the assaults on a firing line.

>conclusion
Perhaps this is just the way Kong has to roll. But it doesn't seem like its always going to pay off if the enemy team outmaneuvers you.

>>174228396
>Kong just kind of moves as a unit without communication and it works well for pugs but not in a tournament format. Perhaps its time to subdivide tasks

KONG should learn from World of Tanks and adopt a harsh ranking system like WN8. Only the unicums can play and win.

>>174228901
Well it was kind of a meme drop with a highlander. Not to say the highlander is weak but compared to something like the blarg or banshee that can literally rip other assaults to shreds it probably wasn't the most optimal of assault choices.

>>174229161

>>174229161
Point is, trying to change the nature of what has made this group stick together for so long is not a very good idea. If people weren't okay with being part of a glorified pug, they wouldn't be here.

>>174229390
If thats how people are really looking at it then can you really complain when you guys are all shooting different targets or don't know what the enemies position is?

Everyone kind of already knows what to do for the most part. Its just getting everyone on the same key makes the difference like saying everyone should hold down "w" since the obvious pug reaction to taking fire is to retreat and flank.

I think Kong has moved beyond just a simple pug group and watching bigmans shows it.

>>174229618
Our only losses were from trying to do something different, that's the point.

And big mans are the same they have always been, just nascar and brawl things.

Battletech mechs can duck, weave, dodge, climb, crawl, jump and leap, all without any special equipment like jumpjets.

>>174234764
They are very good, just not for the role that lights typically play in MRBC.

>>174226030

i think one of the problems is that we've sorta drilled it into people that they shouldn't act on their own and that they should be quiet and wait for the lead to call targets. everyone should be communicating but we just need to make sure to filter out all the bullshit so its not just mic spam.

also i think that after years of group dropping without much real communication, its simply become a habit to auto-pilot during games.

>>174234764

>>174238482
>aren't wolfhounds xboxhueg?

they're about the same size as a firestarter, most of their girth is in the arms which are more or less superfluous since a majority of the firepower is in the torso.

>>174236032
strategery should be as follows:
>KISS - Keep it simple stupid, no overly complex maneuvers
>Mass - Deathball as often as possible, lights that flank/harass are okay, but their purpose is to make the enemy turn around and not shoot at the deathball.
>Unity of effort - don't split targets or forces unless nesssary
Enough Clausewitz.

Recipe for success:
>Move to advantageous terrain and hole up there as fast as possible
>Wait for enemy to spread out over unfavorable terrain as they poke/attack
>Deathball into the disorganized enemy and win
Really just boils down to not losing mechs over stupid shit and deathballing at the right moment.

>>174238856

the problem is that simple only works so long. if you were there when we played the emps you'd noticed that they had actual, honest to god formations, and would close in on us in a coordinated fashion. we can get away with simple deathballing now but if we ever want to be anything more than a big fish in a small pond were going to have to make an actual playbook and not just rely on our natual group cohesion.

>>174239441
pointman and wingmans, same as deathball except they're supposed to keep a relative position from the leader or section leader.

Beyond that it is just putting the big tanky guys up front and the squishier guys behind. You wouldn't lead a charge with an IS lurmboat that still had ammo.

Remember how serious Kong was during the world championship?

Now during our MRBC matches bottom tier kongers line up for a chance to participate
And get super butthurt when you tell them the truth that we have better and more reliable players


Also Kong should review matches ourselfs and not depend on external input

>>174241884
>Also Kong should review matches ourselfs and not depend on external input

i think the big issue with taking criticism from emps is that they are simply on a different level than us. we need to work on fundamentals before we start working on major league plays. the best way to do this is to get used to calling targets during pub drops and keep people from autopiloting. another issue is that while 16 of us show up to practice, the same 6 people play in pretty much every match. this is creating some serious butthurt and causes people to not even want to show up. I get that we want to win, but we should be rotating people so that every gets a chance to play, or else were all just gonna be bitter about not getting to play.

Persona 5 finally came out. It's a good game. MWO hasn't had a decent event lately, and it is not a good game, so I haven't played recently. Last night I logged in to do the Easter event, looked at the rewards and their requirements, then logged out without even playing.

I'll be back soon enough. While MWO is bad, playing with Goons makes it fun. Besides, I want to see if I can stay on top of the VIP a second time.

I don't see any signs of stagnation or effort toward more serious play. We do pub-stomping on a daily basis with big groups and preparations for this MRBC season were pretty much non-existent.

Can someone give me a detailed explanation on how to get this challenge done? I've tried crossing the heat threshold while on override multiple times with a good match score and no luck. Am I doing something wrong?

>>174263802
You have to shut down from overheating first and then engage override while still overheating, that's how I think it works.

>>174263802
It is either one of two methods, because I did both and one was the right answer.
>overheat to shutdown and press O mid-shutdown, you'll still shutdown, but you startup faster than if you did nothing. Leave Override on (don't press again)
>overheat to 99% or so and press O before exceeding 100%
In both cases I made sure to take a little bit of overheat damage, just to be sure.

>>174263802
At the start of a match, alpha until you overheat.
While still shut down from overheat immediately activate override.
When you start back up, disable override, play normally.

>>174264034
>>174264163
>>174264208
OK, thanks guys. I guess I'll try all of these and see when flies. That's a very strange way to do that though.

>>174264034
thats how i did it, just overheat at the start of a match then override immediately once your mech powers off

how do tiers work

do tier 1s only play with tier 1s?... I want to escape tier 2 potatoes already

>>174308209
no, tiers are mixed. There isn't a large enough playerbase to do it any other way.

>>174308209
Heard a rumor once that it breaks down as:
If you're 5, you will be grouped with 5s and 4s
If you're 4, you will be grouped with 5s, 4s, and 3s.
If you're 3, you will be grouped with 4s, 3s, and 2s
If you're 2, you will be grouped with 3s, 2s, and 1s
If you're 1, you will be grouped with 2s and 1s

>>174309050
How about groups?

>>174309662
Tier doesn't matter in group drops. Only making 12 on 12. Weight also sucks as I've seen a group of 12 go in (max tonnage is around 650ish) and go up against multiple small groups that have 900+ tons when combined to a team of 12.

>>174309863
12 man 50 ton deathblobs are fun though, complete brawling anarchy with people strafing and running in dishing out damage

KONG's true nature.

>>174283341
By that logic an entire team of LRM Assault Mechs would always survive and win.

The ones with JJ, and you can get them, since you can always not take JJs.

Personally though, just get the Scorch, which means you're either shelling out around 40 bucks for MC or you're buying a standard for 20 and the Scorch for 15.

Yeah good luck with that considering they usually drop in groups or are so low in tier you'll never get into a game with them.

I've seen the beef like 4 times and haven't really been impressed by his performance. Gotten panzer as well and he is just annoying since he tells people to move to retarded locations.

Never heard of Haven, but I imagine its not much better.

>>174312876
I personally like the base varient the A and the D. Of course none of them are on sale.

The base is just a 9E laser boat with more hardpoints than it can actually effectively sink.

The A is a Mad3R with upgraded clan weapons.

The D is the MRBC meta legal version with ECM and dual arm ballistics.

The scorch is the best but its still a brawler and its a flip of the dice whether or not you get a brawling map or die to nygger gauss before hitting anything.

The question isn't who will let me
The question is who will stop me

>>174357384
wow, quad gauss kodiak, never seen that one before

>>174357282
It's a Hunchie with a little more weight for firepower. If you love humping hills then get it, otherwise pass.

Well much like the commies inevitably tarnished Rand's name, so too did PGI eternally cuck you out of using more than two Gauss rifles at a time, so it's useless to the ∞'th degree.

Just put two in there, with two MGs with no ammo like a normal person.

>>174357384
Don't copy my build you asshat faggot. Go make your own version and use that. None of you should be using my build without my permission.

Standard variants are feces. Unmitigated feces.

Without newtech, that's the best brawl shit you can do with it. With LFE, you'll be able to upgrade those 4's into 6's with 5 tons of ammo.

The only one worth buying is part of the reinforcement package.

Jagermech does 3x UAC5, 4x AC5 and 4x+ AC2 better than any of the roughnecks.

Thunderbolts do laser vomit LEAGUES better.

Catapults do missiles better.

This is the reason why the Roughneck SHOULD have been 75 tons rather than 65 with obnoxious armor/ structure quirks to make it a survivable as one.

IS doesn't have a 75 ton ballistic oriented heavy, and they need one.

What is Marauder

Marauder & Orion would like to have words with you.

>>174358296
>Marauder
>at best can do 3x AC2/ AC5, 2x LBX10, 2x UAC5 or retarded inefficient combinations of the above.

Marauders only saving grace is that the variants have weapon quirks and at least a few energy hardpoints to salvage the ballistic hardpoint equipped variants.

>>174359736
>Orion
More of a missile brawler. Just like the marauder, at best can do retarded shit with its 1-2x ballistic hardpoints. Not really "ballistic oriented."


Roughnigger is garbage as a 65 tonner, IS still doesn't have a ballistic gunboat 75 tonner.
