Yea, about this ECM....

I bought a Commando. It's not really my style, but playing a moving target for mechs that I have no way to shoot back at effectively is not my idea of a good time.

I tried to play my Catapults, but neither the A1 streakcat, the C4 Artemis, or the K2 guncat can manage to hit a Commando even once before they kill me.

You have to wonder about a game where the heavier, more expensive mechs are the least powerful.

Just out of curiosity, what do you pilot?

[Stormur Herra]

The commando is very squishy. Get into a fight with a SSRM-equipped raven or any other mech where their ECCM is going.

A streakapult will 2 shot you.

It's Codejack... that means it's a troll post, whether he intends it to be, or not.

I have no problem shooting them with lasers and dumbfire SRM's. Yes, your streakcat can't kill them easily now... but what the hell has ECM changed about your K2 guncat that magically makes you miss every time now?

Dude, if you're playing in a premade, you're going to win anyway. If you're not, you're team isn't going to help you.

So when the enemy ECM mech is standing next to him and you have to choose between not being able to fire yourself or open yourself up to being 2 shot... which one are you going to chose?

Nothing; it was "magically" missing before. That's WHY I BUILT THE STREAKCAT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Seriously, man, you've got to get over this 'light Mecha are OP thing. Commandos are incredibly easy to kill, I know, I'm grinding through them for XP. Even if you boost the armor to max they're super fragile. Ok, so you throw some ECM on one of them and your streakcat is useless, Too bad?

Adapt. Maybe instead of 6 streaks, you take a couple streaks out and throw some medium lasers back in? Or better yet, partner up with someone who can help you kill the Commando. Seriously, 12 - 16 points of armor on the CT stock is not too difficult. Neither is 10-12 points on the legs... Commandos are really easy to kill. Your porblem is ballistics are difficult to aim on some one circle strafing you and streaks don't lock at less than 180m with ECM active. Don't whine, adapt.

-can't put lasers on an A1.

-Aiming isn't that hard, getting it to register as damage on the other hand...

Oh my god, you mean they are actually forcing you to aim now? This is terrible news... for you.

It was a while ago. the QQ nerf the 130kph hunchback threads were far more prevalent than streak cat threads.

[Codejack]

Wait, I take that back; an ECM-equipped Commando just stopped right in front of my C4; 4xSRM6 + Artemis....

So, if you're stupid enough to stop right in front of your enemy, yea, they can kill you.
