Yes, we need more open space to ignore. I love when it takes 4 months before people spot 'little details' like the waterfall on forest colony, and the boat on frozen.

We all knew it - behind all that trolling and mech stomping, Vassago Rain is just a soft Romantic that stops to smell the roses!

I would build a 2m high chain link fence. Time and time again, they have proven to be mechproof.

depends are we using btech rules or MWO rules with what would be expected if we could include things like tanks?

because beating the clanners in current maps would be mega trivial.

**** loads of 60-100 tonne tanks featuring masses of SRMS.

things to keep in mind clanners feel non mech warriors are civilians ergo they would massively underestimate tanks. Most of the maps give huge amounts of cover and very low profile tanks would be almot impossible to hit as mechs dont twist up and down enough to bring most of their weaponry to bare against ground targets.

I know right?

just imagine how crazy 10-14X SRM6 would be.

150 damage salvos eat your heart out mechs.

Mass amounts of these should do the trick:

Put a company of these against a star of theirs, coordinate some focused fire, and watch those clammers drop like flies.

The issue with this request is the fact that you are trying to fight a superior force 1v1. That is not the correct way to go about it.

When against a superior force you need to overwhelm them with sheer numbers. So if a clan mech shows up you throw 10 commandos at him (or 3L's) and just whittle him down. Sure he will take out most of them, but if they focus fire you can get him down and still have some survivors.

there are no clan light mechs that would be able to beat a 3L. Clan mechs will never be able to field ECM. so their streaks wont work against the enemy 3Ls whilst the 3L swarm would jut smash you with their streak 2s

I would build an Apache Heliicopter, 16 hellfire missiles in an antiarmor load would let me kill a lance/star easily between rearms.

Well, the Hellbringer Prime comes default with ECM and SSRM6 (although it has pooptastic armor and it's a heavy). There are probably others that come with it as well but I don't feel like digging through Sarna.

Well that has to be a mistake, clan mechs by lore are literally 100% not allowed to field ECM units. it breaks Zelbreigan.

I suppose it's possible the variant exists as a FU to the IS for when they eventually declare the IS unworthy of clan war rules.

but otherwise ECM is a big nono
