They gaining a faster light with ecm and a fast medium with guass; and ecm. Watch those fast flankers especially with ecm changes coming

Hey bud,
Did you miss me? Been beta testing a game but I should be done next week.

Clanners don't flank -- they pop-tart, extend, deathball laser-vomit or play peek-a-boo. with the reduced ECM range in the future they will simply be doing more of the same. Vat-born have to be who they are.

Glad to know you hadn't dropped off the face of the earth. Good luck with testing, see you on the hub.

Who is this Nehebkau character?

Someone left the door unlocked again. Proably Theaus again. Bad Theaus! Your bacon ration is hereby given to the orphans!

Tom, wolf? Can I gather from your posts that you are still drunk? That's, what, 45 consecutive days of inebriation? Has the Althing council finally authorized you guys to use heavier weapons or are you still only allowed to use flamers and MGs? I still remember when you managed to shoot out your own cockpit with a flamer Tom -- good times.

Drops will have more ECM. The big advantage is that Clans can take heavier mechs with an added bonus of pretty much always being able to shoehorn 1 or 2 ECM mechs. In terms of actual fighting ability, the AC may give some grievance, but the Shadow Cat shouldn't be too big a deal.

Urbanmechs are like the fruit in pac-man. Clanners go crazy when we see em. We might be over here going for the power pellet in the corner but we're plotting a course to come back for those bonus points. :lol:

We switched up the first couple waves on Saturday for med/light combo rushes while we were leveling mechs. JFP did a lot of Mist Lynx rushes previously so the tactics aren't new per se, but what the Shadow Cat and Artic Cheeta did do for us was you will see more clan assaults and more ecm late round.

Prior to this weekend I would typically run the meta decks HBR HBR HBR (IFR or ADR), HBR HBR SCR SCR, TBR SCR SCR SCR, or TBR HBR HBR ADR.

After this weekend its fair game. Could be WHK GAR SHC ACH, HBR HBR HBR SHC, TBR TBR SHC SHC, DWF HBR SHC ACH, GAR TBR SCR ACH.

The Shadowcat has been completely underwhelming. The lack of weapon hardpoints make it a very niche mech. You have to run 3ERLL/2ERPPC to be successful. Anything with missiles, the Stormcrow does better. Hell, the Stormcrow does everything better.

12 clan light rush works well. IS doesn't have much to stop these.
12 gar all with 12 small lasers works good.

New tactics? What tactics? They've got a better Light mech, but that's just about it. Peekabooing and then running away for 200m will remain a thing. It seems that in our CW clanners got some problems with their gene vats, since not a single clanner or clan unit has any balls to fight directly, despite the possibility.
