To this day, no matter what I am in, I just feel zero trepidation about 1v1ing an Awesome. Any AWS, and speed, any loadout. But most especially, a nice, fat, lone and juicy 8R with lots of LRMs.

I round the bend and see one of them in their usual "hiding in cover while their team does the targeting" position? Hunchy just found an all you can eat buffet.

Fresh mech on fresh mech, uninterrupted, I don't think I have ever lost to one since the Stat reset, and seldom have I lost to other models.


And this makes me sad. Always want to love the Awesome. But.... Awesome....isn't.


How about you guys?

When I'm in my Vindicator, I hear the dinner bell ringing every time I see a Dire Wolf. I don't always poptart, but when I do... that Dire Wolf is gonna cry. Stay fat, my fiends.

[Mirumoto Izanami]

Cute Foxes, in my Panther 9R, are lunchmeat. I can out pace and out poke any Fox.

Kit Fox, I love stumbling into those on my YEN-LO-WANG.

And thanks Bishop for giving me that build, I like it a lot.

My Locusts are often too busy running like hell to notice what I'm shooting at...

I hope no one says Atlas...! I will kill you! Haha.

Depending on who is in the Atlas, can be a free meal or a world of pain... You, Joe or E N E R G Y, means I am in for a bad time, some random PUG in an RS, is a free meal ticket though.

[TercieI]

Agree with AWS, but would add Orions. Similar idea. Just no fear. Any other mech can outmaneuver, outpunch or both.

[AlmightyAeng]

Adders, Awesomes, Orions, Trebuchets...

True, but when was the last time you saw an Atlas make it that far?

[Ultimax]

The day I destroyed 7 mechs and scored like 600 or 700 damage in an Ice Ferret with 4x CERMLAS and nothing else, was a day I learned not to underestimate any mech but if I really had to pick I'd say Kit Foxes and Adders.

[stjobe]

I like the ones with the red triangles above their heads, and the red square around them. They're fun to kill.

Whaddaya mean there's different kinds? THEY ALL HAVE THE RED TRIANGLE DON'T THEY?

That's why I prefer to see him in an Atlas to something fast and ecm packing. Once Hunchie gets the munchies and makes one of the STs into lunchies..... well, game over.

Ha, i do still see them sometimes.

But i mostly play at US times.

[Jackofallpots]

i keep running into super slow ravens for some reason

they go down smooth

[Tool Box]

Mine is different everything is nomnoms for my Wolverine. I can't resist ... my Wolverine 6R these days just eats everything with the exception of a good timberwolf pilot. If i want to have a good game all I do is get in my Wolverine 6R now.

Everything is my chew toy.

Atlas firing LRMs and behind the main line.

Catapult by itself, any variant.

Trebuchet.

Awesome by itself.

Cicada in the open.

Locust that stands still.

Oddly these are all mechs that I like....

[Gyrok]

A TW running a laser build...he will be overheated in about 2 volleys, and then the chain of shutdowns come...

[RazorbeastFXK3]

I'd have to say any opponent that ends up shutting down right in front of me due to overheating themselves or being overheated from the assist of my flamer.

That's pretty much when I hear the dinner bell.
