As far as my headset. On a "headset site" it is working with Mic but not during a Mech game. Any hints?

Push to talk.
Capslock by default.

Found your way in?

Click "Faction Details" to be able to pledge loyalty.
Should be a temporary option, if not then try "Contracts."

Until you've had some time to play, I suggest contracts.

OK, I joined a Clan and I'm trying to go down into a invasion. I made a "unit" but I have no people. Was that a mistake?

[TooDumbToQuit]

I still cannot figure out how to change firing buttons. I want to move 3,4 and 5 if needed.

that depends, you can have a single person unit, you can invite more people to join your unit, inviting a new member costs 50,000 cbills for each member at the time the invite was sent out, so if you have 10 members and walt to invite an 11th that will cost 500,000, if you have 449 members and want to invite member number 500 it will cost 24,950,000 cbills.

if you are not happy with being a solo player and do not want to invite more people to your unit you can disband the unit to join another unit.

In-game go to settings (bottom right cog when out of match or press [esc] to bring it up in match), keyboard (or game controller), then find the item you want to change and do a really fast double click on ether primary or secondary key map box for the item you want to change, it will then say "bind key", press the key/button you want to assign that function to.

Great shot, thanks

You guys have been AWESOME!

Now get out there, wreck some metal, and have fun!

Let us know how you are doing as you go.

OK, how do i set Clan ECM to disturb and thoughts?

[TooDumbToQuit]

I'm on my 10th of my Clan joining duties. OMG, the 2nd one was an invasion and we were killed over and over and over etc. It said "destroy cannon" which we never seemed to want to do.

I think about 7 of my missions went to this one invasion. Then WE defended and it was so easy. I guess the Clan does not believe in the 5-1 odds you are supposed to have when attacking, lol

My keybindings aren't normally the default, but I think this one is TAB.

FYI, you can always hit F1 to see the default keybindings. The name of this one is "Toggle ECM"

If you are playing FW games during the contest time period, you are in the contest! After you've played for an hour or two, check the event page and your current numbers should show. Usually takes 5-45 minutes for a game's info to reach your stats page.

Par for the course my friend

[TooDumbToQuit]

It is all scouting missions in factions so I'm going for some pickup games now. We are given a 22-37% chance of winning these scout missions and they are depressing.

J. toggles between Disrupt and Counter.

Clan ECM will passively counter whoever is closest from what I understand. Range I believe is something like 90 to 180 meters. ECM would suit you best in disrupt mode unless you are trying to use streaks or LRMs but can't due to jamming.

Active Probe if you had this instead of ECM, will only counter the mech you have targeted if the target is within some insane 300 meter range.

AP, BAP and ECM don't stack.

"No Opt In Required."

To mention -- they have a bad habbit of not deleting text from older posts; the actual Tournament required entry forms. This event does not.

Destroying the cannon isn't a task you can do directly.

First you need to destroy the Gate Generators, which hold the gates magnetically shut.
Next, you need to destroy the Shield Generators which protect the Planetary Gauss Cannon.
Finally you destroy the Fusion Power Plant inside the Cannon.

Along the way there are enemies (a total of 48) and an array of turrets.
There may or may not be Long Tom Artillery facing you down as well.

[Koniving]

This is why there are so many contrived things to shoot at while attacking the enemy turret.

If you mean the MWO world tournament you need an 8-12 player team to enter.

if you mean the event lasting the next 9 days you are automatically entered, and any thing achieved in invasion or scouting matches will automatically be added to the relevant totals.

I have my keyboard set up better. I set ZOOM to the mouse wheel, it works great.

I moved targeting from R to Space so my thumb can hit it with me not having to take my fingers off the control buttons.

I'm starting to realize that unless I'm using missiles. maybe wasting the time to lock into targets is a well.....waste of time.

I'm always hitting Caps Lock by mistake so I moved the mic switch from it.

And I moved some weapons from 3 to Ctrl.

Does anyone ever use tag? It seems suicidal to me.

if LRMs are my primary weapon I will usually take TAG for the faster locks and better missile tracking, and I know Koniving sometimes uses them to tell him is his shot is going to hit "invisible walls" where the terrain hitboxes do not line up perfectly with what you see.

[TooDumbToQuit]

What is the range of tag and can it be used through a hill?

This Mech came as an LRM missile mech with 2 LRM 20's.
