I assume that would be Koniving's Death Knell? How is it working out for you now? Getting the basic skills close to max yet?

[Koniving]

Yay! My Commandos look awesome!
Shot of Lordred during the commando run and of him during the upcoming image dump with the Raven shark.

Your English is pretty good, actually. (*Used to teach English online.*) Just remember the past-tense of tell is "told." Search has an H. If you're learning it, be sure to tell your instructor that he or she is doing very well!

I have all the hero mechs. My Illya runs 3 AC/2 + 2 ER PPC, but I can switch the weapons and see if Lordred can get some shots of me in it. After the Death's Knell shots, I think I'll have Lordred get shots of me in all of the Hero mechs.

Of course. More practical with standard than ER PPCs though (to be able to rapidly pump out up to 12 individual PPC shots before shutting down, Standard PPCs not only fire cooler, they fire faster). However during the shots I ran ER PPCs and it's a good thing too as I got into a lot of close range skirmishes..

I am saddened that the ones of me brawling with a Dragon and winning with a Raven 2X did not make it as "Good" shots. Lordred assumed I was losing and turned his hud on before realizing that I was practically slaughtering the poor thing. I was still in great shape, just lost my shield arm.

Tonight I'm having Lordred take snapshots of my X-5, and I will try to get him to take shots of my 3 UAC-5 Illya Muromets too.

Very hot, but very long range.

Some video examples of it in 8-versus-8 competitions.

Spoiler

All of these are "8 man premades."

First run with a British group called "WSB." Up against a team called the "German Steiner Unit." I wind up becoming a scout in my Muromets and organizing the team. I watch more than I fight here.


Second run with the group (very next match). This time we face another Steiner group. They turtle up and defend their base, making this feel like an invasion. Lots of fighting.


Third battle. This was a VERY close call. Already surrounded and under attack from all sides, I become the last player and I am forced to brawl at close range against multiple targets. I bring it down to 1 on 1. (This is before Ballistics HSR, so aiming cannons was a guessing game.)

Ahh you were playing with mostly Alpha company there, we have Bravo company as well full of North American time zone players. How did you find dropping with the Wolf Spiders Koniving?

The first match, I kind of wondered because they were all going out into open fire hence my reorganizing them to go two separate ways.

I personally favor L-shaped ambushes where you have your bait to engage their attention, and your true firepower or swift attack lance that strikes from the side. Classic military maneuver because there's only two ways to survive since we can't lay down mines yet. Either break off behind cover and fight the ambushing force, or rush the "bait." Most react by tangling with the closer ambushing force, and wind up dead.

Later matches worked out rather well though I confess to continuing to favor two angles of attack. Personally I can fire at two targets at once to try and kill one thing while suppressing another. I do this by aiming my main weapons one way, and taking advantage of the twin reticle system to also aim at another target. However I've never seen anyone else either capable or attempting to do so, which means they focus one way and allow the enemy on the other side to take them out.

I rather liked the group. Though before you ask, I'm a Zhi-Zhu mercenary. I enjoy what I already have, though I do hope we do another recruiting drive soon.

I just want to say these images are absolutely beautiful and you've inspired me to do some fiddling with my driver controls as well. The game you play is awe inspiring and i want to play that game too. I'll be spending a huge part of my work day pulling images into my Desktop background folder... I mean working... working diligently.

Get that hand above the table. Now. You heard me. Good. Both hands in sight. Wouldn't want anyone thinking you were getting excited downloading 'Mech stuff.

Now you can start collecting them. Just remember it's a never ending job, Lordred's got more to upload soon!
