Which mech should we feature next?

Cicadas and Jenners, please!

<.<; The reason LRMs can be so lousy at times is because we're throwing bowling pins at each other.

Last night, in addition to some Megamek fun, we tried some one on ones.

Dire Wolf versus Atlas.

Same battle, from my end, Battle starts at 4:10, up till then we are just bullshitting.

Round 2 was 3PV only with no HUD.

Rounds 2 and 3.
Sadly Round 2's music somehow got relocated on the time bar so it's wrong and off (but too late to fix it).

Round 3's music plays as intended.

Whaddya know, to get the best approximation to TT, just switch to 3rd person view, and disable HUD.

Pretty much. Even with the hud on aiming is actually very difficult.
No matter what, the Dire Wolf is disadvantaged in aiming with a mixture of non-front-loaded damage and the way it bounces. The only real way to have good accuracy is to keep speeds under 24 kph (just like tabletop, walk instead of run).

Unlike first person where the reticule is perfectly level and never moves no matter what, it moves and shifts with every step. For the Dire Wolf it bobs left/right, up/down and it does so rapidly.

My two favorite chassis.

Nice screen shots.

Round 4.


Dire Wolf Prime (stock) versus Highlander 733c stock.
Many factors contributed to the result. They will come up as text during the video.

[Inflatable Fish]

I'll be on tonight, if you're around I can join y'all with any/all my mechs, including but not limited to Arrow Blackjack, pirate 3L, Black Wang, et al.

[Koniving]

Sadly I'll be working tomorrow and the day after. Meaning 5 AM and 7 AM shifts. Won't see you until Saturday or Sunday night.

What happened to the screenshots? This is a "screenshot" thread, right?

They populate more than 99% of the thread. Though since the screenshots are now raw with user.cfg tweaks to get better quality and performance out of MWO, any vids from Lordred's side is literally millions of screenshots in full motion with sound. o.O;

We'll get some more in today.

Btw, in the new player thread someone managed to get me to try out a fun little idea for Cicadas, so I'll be bringing mine out today when Lordred's back on as well.

The Gauss one? I'll be looking forward to that one.

I'll be trying that too eventually. But the ER PPC + 2 ER LL Cicada that still goes over 100.

I like to believe that it was a lonesome direwolf sitting atop a hill, looking down upon the battlefield as these lesser mechs charged it, challenging it's supremacy, and they all got cut down for their sin.

The pictures look beautiful, and I love the YLW.


EDIT: Did you have to do any editing to deal with the giant explosions?

Only timing, and a little bit of luck.

My screenshots are not edited any longer, Have not been for quite some time. To nights images are literally straight from the game like most of my recent shots are.

Infact these are not even down sampled, they are raw 1200p
