greetings,

i just bought a commando 2D just for fun.
after some test runs i rip of the laser off and now i run
with 2 x 6 srm and 300 amo.
that little mech deals more dmg then my biggest k2.
do to the fact that both srm are mounted in one arm.
--- >fire:30 dmg in close range that kills even the big atlas in 3-4 cycles.

conclusion 1:
why on earth spend 10 million cbillions when you can buy a commando for 1.7 million

conclusion 2:
smale mechs are unbalanced.

and this has nothing to do with lag or anthing else.
they are fast they can run cycles and outrun every slow mech.
keep in mind.
commando 2d. only with 2x srm and 300 ammo.
i normale get 400-600 dmg per run.
and im not trained for and in smale mechs.

Yes, you can run around larger mechs but pilots that know what they are doing will still shoot you dead.

[Stoicblitzer]

keep it up. soon your elo will face you against a good 3L pilot.

[DrSecretStache]

trust me, an experienced assault can tear that mech to pieces. I've got 20srms in my Awesome, all it takes is one volley from them to absolutely destroy a COM. This, coming from a hardcore COM pilot who enjoys using an ERPPC to bug the heck out of assault pilots

Now, Raven's on the other hand...

That's my 2D right there, ECM, ERPPC and a bagel probe.
Small mechs are not unbalanced, my Commando TDK is wasted in no time if I hold a 1v1 with anything bigger than I am. Running around with only weapons in 1 arm is bad as well especially in a fragile Commando, if I faced you there's no way you'd stand a chance, not to toot my own horn but honestly...

i get the impression that you dont get me.
i just buy a commando for halve an houre.
i rip off the medium laser and the srm in center and change amor to ferro.
then i mounted 2 srm6 into the arm pinpoint.
thats all.

yeah, you must be facing terribad heavy/assault pilots.

one, well placed alpha from most heavies+ will one shot a commando. And I play commando a lot and I also one shot them a lot in my A/C cat, 3D, stalker, atlas

Yep... you HAVE to be facing terrible opponents. You put FF on a 2D before you put on EndoSteel? You haven't put in a bigger engine? You haven't added ECM? You....


Never mind... just understand you are facing bad pilots because you have a poorly designed mech right there.

lol maybe you should invest more money in your education then into founders pack you freaking *******.
i just said i buy a commando for a test run .
why on earth should i spend somemuch money only to show that a commando is very deadly mech.
i just play one houre and i never died.

I hear you and agree. Lights in general are pretty overpowered. I suggest no nerfs or changes (3L might be an exception) because I think this is a very fine line between what we have and lights not being able to even exist.

I just killed one unexpectedly and watch an Atlas pilot kill two. Rewind in effect I think. Lights trotting into the middle of a brawl days are gone, as they should be. Atlai should be feared by all.

There is a place for them and we should have them. That ssrm/ecm thing frustrating, and maybe unavoidable.

I think he ran out of caffeine after the first sentence.

I thought the 2d had SRM in the Center Torso might be wrong I think I been playing a 2D most of the day. Whoops looks like I been running the 1D my bad.

It has a Missile hard point in the CT with 6 tubes and 2 Missile hard points in the RA with 4 tubes. By putting both in his Right Arm he is launching 4+2 from each SRM 6 so 8 then 4 are hitting. Seems a bit risky putting all your weapons in one arm on such a lightly armored mech.

Not in your initial post you didn't, you said you were not trained and bought it for fun, maybe you should educate yourself on respecting other players on public forums.

I'm with Gruen on this: the 2D is very fun, and I love it just for its missile hardpoints. Honestly, I'd rather stick more SRM related gear in there than ECM. That thing takes down Atlases when you stay behind them (and run away and return as necessary). Without ECM, they don't think you're worth targeting, much to their demise.

That's not really an optimal build, so I'm happy that it works for you - I spent my first several hundred matches playing Commandos of all sorts, so anything that makes people play them is fine in my book - and it's always refreshing to see people not play the ECM+3xSSRM-2 cookie-cutter builds.

Although, to give you some advice, ferro-fibrous armour is a waste on a Commando. Go with Endo-Steel instead, it'll give you more weight savings, and you might even be able to squeeze a third SRM-6 in there
