So I launched into test mode to see what it's all about. It seems useful enough and I think it'll be a good way to help my get a feel for some load outs in a safe environment.

However after going through a few runs I realized something. Mechs are super fragile. I was dropping these mechs much faster than I though they should drop. I guess it was due to them standing perfectly still so lasers weren't being dragged across multiple sections but still.

So this got me thinking. Do these mechs use standard armor for the mechs they represent? Can anyone confirm the armor stats for the dummy mechs?

I'm sure they are the same or they might be the stock armor values.

S!

Sure is easy to pop even an Atlas there. Well it is not moving, no latency, lag and whatnot having an effect on your shooting so understandable. Took a while when tested when dropped on Alpine peaks in a slow Mech to test my setup..

I'm guessing stock value. They do seem to die rather fast. Granted they aren't moving either.

I am 100% sure they use stock values.

1. They have stock weapons, so should have stock values too
2. 2MLAS penetrates an Awesome's rear,

Not as fast as those Constellation Ships ...Am I right Balt?

also weapons seem to reload and cycle faster in testing mode, which also contributes to faster kills.

Is this mode actually client side or is it still hosted on their server?
