Light engines are a gift from the universe in general.
I can't believe piggi actually doubled the ammo count for the uac10, it basically shoots the same pellet as the uac5, but ever since the last pts patch, it has 10 more ammo per ton, making the user more durable in a roundabout way.
>>

I'm just doing my assault duty, torso twisting is mandatory on an 80 ton, but makes a good twister basically invulnerable, though affects my aim too.

It's pay to not grind (and even then it's still not as grindy as some other free to play games). Money gets you premium time, aesthetic options, and some slightly different mech variants. If you know how to pilot and make decent builds in the mech lab, you'll be fine.

Some gold took a look at the mechwarrior tactics designs and said " Yes, I can back this, this honestly looks good just like my classical 3025 tech read out. ". While in that same breath literally calls the shadowhawk, battlemaster, warhammer and marauder we currently have are cancer.

I mean, just look at well known titular mech of the series in mechwarrior tactics artistic genius.
>>
>>181792357
There is nothing really wrong with the Shad and the Whammy but the Battlemaster is SQUARES where it was always a very round mech. And the Marauder is debatable since the Glaug looks more distinctive but the Phoenix design placing the cannon firmly on the right side makes more sense.

And even then, I can see just how retarded the idea is that ATMS are going to replace SRMs. Makes me wish someone would make a fake Alex Knight account on piggy just so I can push for reLasers to be added, because they're the best weapon system ever.

I tried out Ass to Mouth 6's and 9's on the PTS for builds I would normally use A+SRM's for and... just no fucking way. Yes, being able to throw a bucket of damage at something within 120-270 meters was nice but...
Reload time. Heat generated. Missile Stream. Flight Time. Shittons of damage to legs you never wanted. You need a target lock.

A+SRMs are an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. I wish I could GIVE ATM's to IS players, and take their MRM's for clan use assuming the usual clan discount in weight on the launchers. Holy fuck they would be gold for their adjusted tonnage.

>game looked better in 2012

It's still true.
>>
>>181865651
The SRMs are better at close range even BY RAW TABLETOP STATS without even taking to account all the simulator mechanics like missile streaming, lock-on, pinpoint aimed surms, etc.

Should MWO have more detailed hit zones like e.g. WoT?
Hitting a specific part could then have a high chance of destroying equipment in that.

t. not a light shitter hoping for engine pops
>>
>>181870150
It already has that m8, it's called crits. However engines and actuators can't get crit in MWO because that's too much code wizardry for pgi.
>>
>>181870150
When you build a mech every slot you fill up is a crit space. Each crit space you fill up has hitpoints separate from the component itself. Guns made to crit out equipment like machine guns can be used to make ammo explode, take out engines in side torsos, weapons, anything. It's a system that's been in every mechwarrior game since conception.

Any codes to redeem on MWO?

What's the best ways to get loot crates, is it top score per match?

How can I get good? All I want to do is push in to battle and nuke people, everyone on my team sits at the back sniping with the < and > keys.

Why are lasers so useless? Are shotguns the future or autocannons?
>>
>>181880848
Glorious. The little spacer power armor, sledge, is kind of that way already. It's a hell of a drug.
>>
>>181885724
Loot crates are random, you need to be on the winning team and get a 1/12 roll.

If you want to push and fight at close range while playing solo you'll just have to hope it turns out that way, everyone's running random shit and teams usually end up with mixed range brackets between players. Same goes for long range builds though, if you drop in an erll boat you just have to vote for the map that's most beneficial for you and hope for the best.

Lasers are good but the mech and build must be right.

That they can't fucking realize that the best "critseeker" in the game is ramming a Gauss round or a PPC into someone, piercing the armor by a fraction of a point and getting equipment-wrecking damage is....saddening.

RAC's would have to inflict something like double to triple their per-shell crit damage to even have a chance, given spread and the fact that small-damage bites are actually garbage for critseeking.

the low heat from RAC/5 is really synergistic with stealth armor, it takes quite a while before you overheat and that lets you actually use the stealth armor in combat rather than having to turn it off as soon as you open fire because your lasers/missiles would cook you within 3 volleys. I'd tell you to try it for yourself if the PTS wasn't already over, but since it is you'll have to wait for the tech to hit live, which gives you plenty of time to think of what 'mechs this combo would work on and how to build them

It's part of it but no, the other part is that we barely play the game together anymore. 54MR practiced hard, scrimmed like twice a week. We scrimmed twice all season. Yeah it'd be great if we could play on weekends to get our ideal team, but missing 2~ people shouldn't be a big deal.

Never ever. The heat is too immense.

Most of the newtech was actually rather underwhelming and needs to be buffed as of the last PTS.

The only way we're going to actually be able to do anything in the next season is if we can somehow convince the people who want to participate to regularly show up and do scrims so we're not putting all the pressure on the two-three fags who actually know how to play. I know I would be fucking down for regular, casual scrims under MRBC rules, because the format is really fun when you're not waiting in scheduling hell or agonizing over needing to go 100-0.
>>
>>181963978

RACs are still kinda fucked up as of when PTS closed, because of the ghost heat bug. That being said, if they kill GH, you might be able to dakkaspray like a boss.

Or mount UAC/20's or UAC/10s. These are better dakka than the RAC is right now.

The problem boils down to scheduling. Boogey works nights, EU Kong can only make weekends... Trying to get everyone to find a date every week, for 10 weeks, to play the matches was bad enough. Doubling or tripling that to get practices and scrims is even more difficult.

You're right though, us not doing anything is the sole reason we didn't win this season. After halfway through it when the skilltree hit my burn out already started. Were it not for having committed to MRBC I'd have probably not played MWO much at all until the next patch hits.

Either way it seems like pretty much everyone wants 6 week seasons with 4 team divisions, so hopefully the admins will cave on that. If that's the case next season will be a lot easier to prepare for and deal with, and we can focus solely on the people that'll be free to play at the best times in that timespan. Should be much easier on organizing scrims and regular play sessions.

>>181965050
You can take 4LBX10 in the Mauler or Kodiak if you really want. I can't recommend much about the KGC honestly. It's not the worst thing ever but out of the 100 tonners it's the least remarkable. 4UAC5s is the way to go with them still probably, that or asymmetrical builds with 1/2 ballistics and using either missiles or lasers as a compliment. 4ASRM6 and AC20 etc.
>>
>>181965271
Was that it? I thought you could fit 2 uac5s in there.

Or was it 1 uac5 and one standard ac5?

Any way if I recall from TT the clan uac5 is a slot smaller. Can you run clantech on not stupid mechs now?
>>
>>181965050
There are other mechs that do a quad LB10 loadout better. Hero Cyclops is one of them.

Skill Tree in the middle of the season wrecked things up pretty hard. We probably COULD have figured out who would be available for the common days 228 wanted and tried to whip them into shape, but everyone sort of felt the same way you did about it.

>>181966794
It was a big change that required respeccing out literally everything (which I already did in 2 fucking PTSes before it went live and was already sick of). The question of "what mech should I bring to drop 2" became "what mech should I bring to drop 2 and also none of my robots are skilled, how should I do it? btw I hate consumables." Nevermind that the skilltree is a mess that still needs a lot of work done to it and hardly increased my desire to play MWO. Newtech and new robots have been on the horizon for so long and all I've been looking forward to.

Then just a couple of weeks ago we get another huge meta shakeup when cSPLs were removed from the game. Two huge changes in the middle of one MRBC season wasn't fun to deal with.

>>181966394
The upcoming Annihilator and Nightstar both have variants that can take AC20s in the arms, so there'll be options soon.

I dunno about you famm but skill tree really fucking shook up the robots that I frequently used and relied heavily on for MRBC
Spooder 5k was literally my go-to robot and it's DPS, the one thing that genuinely made it a good crit-seeker, pretty much got cut in half thanks to the skill tree and overall made playing the mech that much harder for me in MRBC

That said, newtech will definitely make the spooder not as shit thanks to heavy machine guns and spooders will be getting hardpoint inflation in the future so not all is lost. Doesn't change that my moral for MRBC absolutely sank since skill tree happened though

You have to rebuy the unlocked nodes with gxp, hence 2 same mechs
>>
>>181971586
See >>181971835 and >>181971838
Respeccing your skill tree will cost you mech xp or gxp to swap between nodes you've already unlocked, so if you're swapping builds and they need different skill tree stuff, it's doubly frustrating.
>>
>>181971586
Because the skill tree is on a per-mech basis now rather than being per-chassis, so if you want to swap guns you'll also want to swap your pick-a-quirk list which requires you have 2 of the same exact 'mech anyway. Sure, you could just have one 'mech and unlock every skill node on it and manually switch the points around when you swap the guns, but fuck help you if you want to do it quickly that way, and double fuck you because unlocking every node would be insanely expensive. Even if you only unlocked the nodes you know you're gonna use it's still gonna probably be at least 2mil cbills over the 4mil it normally costs to skill a 'mech, and I'm not even factoring in the cost of re-equipping unlocked by un-equipped nodes, which is significant and means you'd essentially burn all your XP just on switching it around every time you wanted to.
>>
>implying
Respeccing already unlocked nodes is what, 400xp per node? That's basically nothing for a mech you've played a lot. And the amount of nodes you have to swap between builds is between nothing or minimal because the firepower tree is generic apart from the special nodes.

As people noted, probably the best IS Mech for quad LB-10X is the Slepnir, and the Kodiak-3 can do it pretty well also for Clans (it was the golden child of Clan ballistic wielding until beaten with the nerfstick repeatedly).

KGC's don't have enough arm crits to mount quad LB-10X...the best they'd do is LB-10X (6 crits) and have space left over for a dinkycannon/2 of some kind (but not even a -2X).

Maulers get those big torsos to dump beefy ballistic guns into, as does the hero Cyclops. KGC's have room for pretty much any one big ballistic in each arm, or dual AC/5 or triple AC/2.

Triple UAC/2 in each arm post-update might actually be fun, though.

Torsos give you the most dakka for the location, simply because 12 crits = most room = most dakka.

Not that KGCs are bad. They just can't mount lots of medium-sized guns. That takes those 12-space roomy mounts, and that means no arms.

You can get big-ass boomers in the arms though, which is why the Gaussjager, Boomjager, etc. exist. Even then, the hero Warhammer's got them beat on ballistics space.

Engine desync reduced available customization options by making engine choice not affect torso movement speed stats (also all mobility quirks are gone and the skills don't have as much % as they used to have). Mech mobility is now decided by a canacuck Chris Lowlife listening to [G]old men complaints. So you will not be able to torso twist no matter what engine you have, just because retarded american old men are unable to even fathom such dezgra tactics.

I think the patch made more mechs better than it nerfed. Most of my shitmechs became a lot more playable with armor+structure and especially with the ability to stack far more heat efficiency than with the old system. Like almost every build in the game is capped by maximum efficient dps from heat buildup rather than cooldown.

It ain't the skilltree's fault if people are drinking koolaid and wasting skillpoints on meme shit like radar derp.

Bloody hell you poor newfag. Ultra AC's can be double-tapped before the cooldown bar finishes, but that has a chance for it to jam for a brief window of time and be unusable for a few seconds. You can just fire them normally WITHOUT doubletapping, or try to panic smash that fire button for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

Haha, if you're actually needing backup lasers in this piece of shit you've already fucked up. Try this shit on for size.

>>
>>181996856
You need to decrease back armor to 5-6 and stack all the rest to front on torsos, and that goes for every mech.

Also multiple smaller weapons trump a big weapon in MWO, an easy way to fix that loadout would be dropping 2 of the large pulses and replacing them with 6 medium pulses. That way you can alpha strike without pgi's heat penalty meme and do way more damage. The damage per heat of medium pulse lasers was buffed just last patch so they're even better than before now.

>>181999854
k nvm, ty anyway for the help.
>>
>>181999492
Well assuming you're not just trolling, set back armor to 6 and put everything else to front armor until you have 0 available armor points for that location. Arms, legs and head have no armor facings, only torsos have front and rear armor. Always max torso armor, arms can be stripped if you have nothing in them on some robots, leg armor can generally be dropped to around 40-50 on heavies and 50-65 on assaults for more tonnage.

Oh yeah and one thing I didn't realize before, you should always use standard armor+endosteel structure if you can only have one of those upgrades, like your laser vomit Kodiak, if you have cbills to spare for it. I think you can fit one more double heatsink on that build if you use endo instead of ferro.

Endo is always superior to ferro in weight savings on every mech. It's kind of silly, but it's based on tabletop game rules where having ferro over endo had different kind of advantages like lower logistics and manufacture costs.
>>
>>182001809
great, ty.

just jumped in a match, thought i was going to rek some noob from 600~m out. alpha striked him twice, he ran away and i got nuked by like 5 enemies. no amount of CT armor can stop that desu.

i can tell its improved though.
>>
>>182001256
It's also OBSCENELY hot, and XL engines make you pop like a pinata, as a side torso destruction means game over. Your issue seems to be that you just don't have a grasp on how the game's admittedly bizarre mechanics operate, which is totally understandable. Nothing in this game is at all obvious to someone just wandering in with no knowledge of how battletech or mechwarrior "works".

Kodiak is an omnimech and cannot actually swap out Ferro for Endo, because "fuck you, your supposedly customizeable mech cannot actually be custom".

Alright stop talking right there my man, one of the reasons Kodiak is good is because it's a battlemech and not omni. Shit, you can even tell from that guy's screenshots and the dynamic crit slots and non-locked engine it's a fucking battlemech even if you've never piloted one in your life.

>>182002746
That's pretty much fully min-maxed now. Just remember the MPLs have lower range than the LPLs, and even if you're one of the heaviest mechs in the game you're still pretty fragile because of how slow and huge you are, you need to utilize terrain control lines of fire so multiple enemies can't focus fire you while you're shooting at someone. Assaults generally aren't recommended for noobs because they need planning ahead and a lot of manouvering to use terrain and cover to your advantage, but you'll get a feel of it if you keep at it.

One more useful tip for that particular mech is to make extra weapon groups for shooting each hand separately, so you can peek around corners and fire only the weapons that clear terrain to not waste heat while exposing your mech as little as possible.

So you say it increases viable mechs, but in the same fucking breath say the system supports DPS mechs. So mechs like my atlas which could use as much speed as it can get, should be fucked because you like your C-UAC mech.
>>
What's the best Dragon right now?
>>
>>182006207
I have no idea how you got that from what I said. The maximum sustained dps on every build is limited by heat and not theoretical maximum dps. And the usual brawling loadout on an Atlas already has a massive DPH advantage compared to something like ppcs or long range laser vomit, you don't even need to stack crazy amounts of heatgen+operations to btfo any non-brawler mech at your optimal range.

You've got to be high as fuck if A. you think Atlas was made nonviable in a patch that gives it +9001 hp on every body part when it wasn't exactly a top meta mech to begin with, and B. you think cuck jamcannons are still good.

An atlas and most brawl mechs do not derive their power from DPS, but actually from positioning and twisting. The additional things that could be added in the old module/skill system meant a mech such as the atlas could not only have a higher top speed to squeeze by and kill lone mechs, but also better twisting to spread damage to its shield arms.

Extra armor and DEE PEE ESSS is meaningless when the mechs strength was originally getting close and then dumping its damage as quickly as it could on a favorable spot on the enemy mech.

The optimal range of an atlas is close to point blank, politely never speak again.

With the old module/skill system I also had all the benefits of a bigger speed tweak bonus, bigger heat management bonuses, but I could also have radar derp and seismic and what ever weapon module I wanted fully.

In the current system Not only are these things greatly reduced, but they also demand you choose two completely and neglect one while before you could partake in all for the most part.

An extra PPC or gauss shot to my side torso does little for the atlas pilot or the centurion pilot, but give them an additional moment to consider just how much they miss their faster speeds and not being shot at all.

My centbomb currently runs far too hot now and I have most of my points in that, it also runs slower.
>>
>>182009203
You do realize that tweak gives neglible bonus speed to an Atlas or any assault mech, for that matter? Even the youtubers with their shit skillbuilds have figured out speed tweak isn't efficient on slow mechs at this point. And none of the modules improved it's main strengths a great deal either. Imagine all that shit that was irrelevant to you in the previous system like extra module slots, arm speed, startup speed, whatever. You can dump it and put it all towards minmaxing the critical points. Max armor and structure from survival, dip into mobility to get torso twist speed, get ammo skills and missile spread from firepower and the heat gen and cooldown on the way to those nodes. Boom you're already better at everything you need than before. Please explain what kind of an alternate reality you live in where this is worse than what I could do with an Atlas before.

If you're pushing as the point mech, that 4kph missing from speed tweak and the missing radar dep and seismic modules aren't going to do jack shit to defend you from getting facefucked to the same degree as the point mech of a push gets fucked before the patch. Your shield arms didn't go anywhere, and because of the Atlas' massive base hp quirks you're considerably more tankier than before the skill tree.
>>
>>182009718
>radar derp + seismic babby
Well that explains everything. If your centbomb can't afford speedtweak and also runs hotter than before, that means you've completely fucked up your skilltree.

I know for a fact you can do speed tweak, basically full survival and the majority of heat generation from firepower on a 91/91 mech, because that's what my srm bomb mediums are using.

The problem with the skill system, the argument, was that shit mechs that barely kept up are now behind again.

You have even gone so far as proving it, the atlas itself has gone down a good 10kph.

The point is that shitmechs are behind proportionally much less because everyone got the same buffs. It's like a basic fucking math problem where you have to figure out the ages of two brothers, even thought he absolute difference stayed the same when they aged, the guy who was 10 when his younger brother was 5 isn't anywhere close to two times older anymore.

At this point you're grasping at straws to whine about something. You've already been told the solution that should've been obvious to your "muh atlas got nerfed" problem, you've already been told exactly where you fucked up with your builds, and you know where you fucked up but refuse to accept it.

You're a giant dumbfuck and will remain so until you stop being in denial. Good night.

Probably not as good as most people seem to think. Speed will be its biggest weakness. XL engine is out of the question in a blimp, so if you want to go at a moderately decent speed using a LFE, you won't really have any room left for weapons. If you go slow, well then you will have a lot of firepower but you are going slow and slow blimps fall very quickly.

Not that it matter since I'm squarely F team, and need a lot more practice at the game since I lack the inherent autism required to play robots.

The matches I got to play were pretty fun though. Quite a bit different than quick play thats for sure.

I feel like they should add that option for IS mechs since most of them are becoming insanely good with the new tech options. Maybe they can let clan mechs remove some of their shit too like jumpjets and the like.

Literally 1 scrim against EMP for practice
Made up map strats and drop decks up to 15 minutes before the actual drop based on who had what mechs like a Division E team
Still punished the shit out of Division D+ despite the numerous pgi tier nerfs and changes mid season

>54MR
Setup dropdecks and planned out matches a week in advance
Had to get couching from another team mid season to git gud
Spent countless hours meticulously planning shit out and practicing


Just imagine what would have happened if KONG had scrimed against EMPs twice. Meanwhile other teams have to work 10x as hard just to have parity.

>much less because everyone got the same buffs

Except they aren't. All mechs have base values + quirks that are tied to the skill trees PERCENTAGE based nodes. When pig decided hit the random button on all mechs during the shit tree they fucked entire wight classes hard for no reason. For instance, nearly the entire 50 ton class has all the same mobility base values. And for whatever reason, there are random outliers with greatly boosted values. Heavies got fucked.... but wait! Mechs like the LBK, SMN have near double the mobility values of other heavies and significantly boosted base values over a lot of mediums. 100 tonners are just vegetables. Why would I bother with a dire whale or Kardiack when for just 5 tons less you can get something like a EXE with double to triple the mobility?

But you see, the UI doesn't tell you that. It doesn't tell you that going into the mobility tree on a crippled mech wont amount to shit since their base values are so low your points would be better spent elsewhere. So in the end, what you have is a system that doesn't give the player choice. It gives the illusion of choice but with more tedious clicking and eye cancer.

You need to take a step back and realize you're complaining about the unquestionably best weight class being nerfed, complaining about pod-space assfucked "just lock my shit up" trash omnis like Lineshitter and Shitmoner getting benefits to make up for being trash, and complaining about 100 tonners handling like pieces of dog shit when they were already like that apart from the Kodiak before the patch.
>>
It's obvious that pgi hates the black knight, only somebody extremely butthurt would slap 80 sensor range and call it a day.
>>
>>182058765
And as for why you wouldn't pick EXE over Kodiak or Direwhale and why it has welfare agility like it had agility quirks before the patch, well maybe it's because it's got a trillion tons of omni-fucked equipment, ferro no endo, an oversized locked engine, absolutely massive hitboxes and gorilla arms. If you're complaining about Executioner outperforming a Kodiak even after the patch, I don't know what to tell you.
>>
>>182058765

Because they handle like dog shit more so now, much of the mobility, heating and cooling has been nerfed across the board.

Thus the mechs that were already questionable are downright bad.

>>182069775
I tested one RAC/5+stealth armor when the PTS was still live, it was insanely manageable. Even by the time to gun jammed I only ever hit around 47% heat on average, give or take for movement heat. Also tested 2 RAC/5s on a Marauder and it almost doesn't even need the heat management stuff from the skilltree, although you'll still take them anyway for your lasers. Unless they amp up the heat gen from the weapon or add spooky heat when you only have 2 of them, you'll consistently jam both of your cannons before you overheat with stealth armor active.

>>182069860
You get one less energy hardpoint than the Fafnir, but you still get to cram 2 Heavy Gauss in so it's close enough I guess. It's not gonna go as fast as the Fafnir either most likely, since you have to use a STD engine, and the range on the heavy gauss might cause you some grief, but it's probably doable. I'll run the numbers on that since if I do actually grab deal the 10S I'd need to do something with the 9S too, will report back with results.

>>182071579
Ended up taking a bit longer to do since I forgot to, but the tl;dr is yeah you can effectively cram 2 heavy gauss in the 9S. From what I can tell, the best you can do is have 2 Medium or ER Medium lasers as backup, a STD 300 engine for a speed of 51.2 (55 if you go for tweak), and 9 tons of ammo giving you 45 actual rounds. There's some tonnage left over, but no slots, so you could either upgrade the engine by 5 or 10, switch the lasers to pulses, or just put some heatsinks into it, although I'm not sure why you'd put heatsinks into a heavy gauss boat. Long story short, yeah you can do it, but it's kinda slow for how short-range the weapons are and you might still be too short on ammo, since even if you got an extra 2 rounds per ton from both nodes of the skilltree you're only getting 63 rounds in total. There's also the fact that we don't know how high or low the gauss are gonna be mounted on the torso, but it probably doesn't matter since it's not like you're gonna snipe with them anyway.

It's also 35 dollars unless you wanna wait until August 2018 for it since both of the variants we like are in the reinforcements add-on, which is another turnoff that should stop either of us from trying the Nightstar at all but probably won't.

No you can't. 11 crits for them and they're in the arms. I believe stealth armor takes up specific crits too but I didn't test it in the PTS, but it doesn't matter. Shoulder + Upper Arm actuator means you only ever at most have 10 crit slots in your arms, you will never mount a heavy goose anywhere but your STs, or an LB20X for that matter.
>>
>>182085775
Anon, you've horribly misread the reply chain here. We were talking about 2 entirely different builds, one being the 10S with stealth armor and RAC/5s, the other being the 9S with 2 heavy gauss. The 9S has a ballistic slot in each torso, so the rifles fit as long as you only use a STD engine, which I did. The 9S also doesn't get ECM, so it doesn't need to account for stealth armor crit locations. You are correct that stealth armor still needs specific crits like TT rather than floating ones, and that's exactly why the Nightstar 10S is the only 'mech in the game that can take 2 RAC/5s and stealth armor, since you can't do it on the Cyclops due to the two RAC/5s not fitting in one side torso once the stealth armor slots are added in.
>>
>tfw you can't sell cockpit items for mc/cbills
>>
>>182086401
The 9S has energy in each ST and ballistic arms. You mean the 9P. It's also the 10P and not 10S btw.

I'm not really sure why you'd want to do RAC5s and SA, that's anemic for a 95 tonner and RACs will make you hot as fuck if you aren't dissipating heat.
>>
>>182089738
Whoops, my bad there, yeah you're right I meant the P variants not S. I should've caught that typo earlier.

As for the RAC/5+SA combo, like I said earlier it's surprisingly a pretty cool-running weapon. With one RAC/5 and SA active you couldn't even break 50% heat before the gun jams anyway. Obviously I couldn't test two since it's not possible with any current 'mech, but the worst-case scenario would be hitting around 95% heat if you activated stealth armor from 0-3% and fired both cannons until they jammed, which takes a while. I'd post a webm or something of my single RAC/5+SA build, but since the PTS is down I can't really show anything until the 18th. This could all be for nothing anyway if they increase the RAC/5's heat gen before release, which they could do, but hopefully they won't seriously make the RACs worse than they were on PTS since they were already below expectations.

I have a fat pile of Cbills accumulated from dicking around in my quad uac5 champion king crab (the only champion I own, I got the MC through bonuses and one-time promotions; never spent a red cent). I love it much and it is probably going to be my only champion.

Wanna buy a clan mech. REALLY tempted to make it the Timber Wolf. Am I wrong?

I'm not exactly up to date, or even particularly concerned with 'the meta', but the Timberwolf is a very well rounded mech and given the variety of options it has you can build it to cater to whatever kind of interest you have.

Putting a few points on a new mech when you first buy it, to shorten the ass sucking period marginally.

I would just get the ebin jag instead since it has the agility profile that the old pre-nerf timby had and the current timberwolf is one of the worst heavies in the game.

Still people's memories of what the timber used to be plague it so it can never receive any buffs.
>>
>>182117762
>Jagermech
>when I have a King Crab
Not only have I always hated the look of the jag, Knock Knock (my kgc) does everything it does, only better.

The reason I'm asking about the Mad Cat is because I want to know if it's a good starter for Clan Mechs. Does it do a whole bunch of fun stuff?
>>
>>182118002
It's not what it was, and it's not really meta, but let me put it to you this way, I was able to go from a 4 SRM6 w/Artemis & 5 SPLs brawler to a 2 ERPPC 1 Gauss sniper with minimal effort. If you want a good clan starter get a Marauder.
>>
>>182118190
I do like the look of the Marauder. But it's not an OmniMech...
>>
>>182118589
Only really an issue if you care about your meta build changing. The reason I say it's a good starter is because it's cheap and good right now.
>>
>>182118818
>good right now

That's the 3 words I'm afraid of.
>>
>>182119186
"good right now" just means "won't be meta later". I still rock my TDR-9S even after the huge nerfs and have fun and do loadsedamage, not that the 9S was ever really meta. If you're that worried buy an OmniMech like a Dire Wolf or a Night Gyr, they're almost double the cost of the Marauder but at least the Dire Wolf will stay in the meta.

>>182121693
LRMs aren't even that great. Even without AMS shooting down most of it, or players with half a brain breaking the lock to avoid getting hit, unless you're absolutely hammering the shit out of someone with missiles they're not going to make a huge impact. They're better for keeping pressure on someone rather than as a primary weapon unless you're planning on boating them, in which case good luck
>>
>>182119421
>Dire Wolf
>meta

What fucking planet do you live on? All the 100 tonners are absolute garbage with the KGC being the least terrible due to having slightly better agility.

Somehow they took the agility that the Direwolf had with a 300 engine and decided all 100 ton mechs should move like that engine desync'd

Assaults are in the worst state they've ever been in with the engine changes and only a few mechs can scrap by like the MadIIC with its stalker like torsos
