UAV question:

Does its area of coverage increase the higher it is deployed?

The UAV has a fixed angle of detection and radius, i.e. a cone of detection. If you shoot it too high, I suppose it could be out of range. However, I do not remember the numbers. BAP used to cut through ECM at 120 m or less. I think the UAV did the same up to that range but I don't know for sure.

Thank you.

Okay, so I'm not exactly new, but I've been using the trial Warhawk for giggles and realized I don't know the answer to this, and the forum search isn't helping much.

cER PPCs deal 10 damage to whatever you hit and 2.5 damage to the component on either side. What happens when you hit an arm or a leg? For the arm, do you get 10 +2.5 on the side torso, or 10 +5 to the side? Is a leg just 10 damage and nothing extra, or do one or more torsi take damage?

[Redshift2k5]

Pretty sure it's 10 to the leg and 2.5 to the adjoining side torso if you hit a leg.

[TheCaptainJZ]

If you shoot an arm with an cERPPC, 2.5 damage is applied to the torso and 2.5 is applied to the air (i.e. nothing). Legs are similiar and 2.5 is sent to the torso and the other 2.5 is lost.

I have another question. I uh, started the game, y'now, launched game from launcher, yada yada yada, then when I get about four-fiths the way done loading the game it crashes. Whats the fix for this?

[TheCaptainJZ]

Loading the game? Do you mean downloading files on the launcher, or after that?

Well, I start the launcher, click 'Play' and then the loading screen after all the sponsors and stuff it loads about four-fifths the way then crashes.

Do you get to the log-in screen on the splash screens? your best bet is to try running the repair tool. on the patcher at the top is a gear icon. you can access it from there. It will validate the files and replace any corrupt ones.

oh, also, what OS are you using? If using win8, you may need to install directx9c

If that doesn't work, I'd recommend emailing support@mwomercs.com and see what other steps they've got for you. The only other course of action I have for you is a clean reinstall which is to remove the game, run CCleaner to make sure no fragments are left, and then reinstall.

Is there somewhere besides the client that I can find MC prices of things? Hero mechs, packages and the like?

Smurfy lists prices for mechs, including MC, but I can't think of anywhere for the other stuff.

Hero mechs are priced at Smurfy.

Premium time, bundles, mech bays(when no sale), paint & camo, cockpit items, etc are not listed anywhere convenient afaik.

If you TAG a mech after you fire your Lrms, will the Lrms that are currently in flight receive the TAG bonuses?

Yes.

TAG does a few things:

1. Helps you get a faster lock (if you're TAGging the 'Mech while you're acquiring the lock)
2. Cuts through ECM to allow targeting on ECM-protected 'Mechs (again, TAGging while achieving lock)
3. Tighter Missile Grouping (if you TAG the 'Mech while the missiles are in flight)

To make the most of bonus number three, get the TAG on target just before the missiles hit and keep it on target as they impact.

One time camo....


Does this mean... Every mech i own of that type, gets a one time camo? Or, is it just the single mech i pick?
