Got screenshots for your next 10 matches?

Also, don't mean to rain on your parade, but 2 kills and 191 damage? That's not really "this mech is freaking awesome" material.

Is 191 damage supposed to be impressive?

[Dreamslave]

Yea....still unconvinced. Grats on KS-ing your allies and performing some glancing blows on 5 enemy mechs I guess?

[Magicbullet141]

Good job, you found an AFK and parted them out. 2x and 4x still suck, sorry. They really need an engine buff.

[Levon K]

The argument isn't that it's crap, it's that it sucks compared to everything else in the game right now.

[badaa]

my avrage is damage wise is around 350 - 450

xp 800 - 1000 and thats 3 out of every 5 matches

When everything else is better than the subject being discussed, then that subject is, by definition, worse than everything else.

Post a screen cap of your stats.

I find that people tend to have an inflated idea of how much damage they actually do.

[Kanajashi]

You have a RVN-2X and RVN-4X but no 3L?

Fair enough. But back on to your main point, I agree that any mech in the game can be deadly when properly handled.

[Daggett]

Well at least the 4X is way better than most players think.
It lacks the almighty ECM, but it's jumpjets can quite compensate that:

In terms of fun, i like the 4X way more than the 3L and most other lights.

Looks like that was a good match.

[EvilCow]

The RVN-2X is definitely not crap, just shadowed by the 3L.



It is a fun and balanced mech to use.

Your 2x, that you seem to do way better than, averages 219 damage per match.

Your 4x does 176 damage per match, but your WL ratio in it is really abysmal.

[Xx Albain xX]

191 damage, umm that is pretty garbage man, just like your post.

[aniviron]

You're just proving the point that the 2x/4x are bad. I can't think of a single non-spider mech where I would get 191 damage and go, "Wow, that was an AMAZING game! I need to post this to the forums!!"

Yes, RVN-2x/4x can do well every now and then. I own both, and have a ~2kd in both. But they're not good mechs. 4x doesn't have even remotely enough hard points (the two ballistic hardpoints don't count) and the 2x needs... something. It's got one less missile hardpoint than a jenner, has no jumpjets,a significantly larger model, and worst of all, is limited to a 245 engine. Up the engine cap to 300, and then maybe they'll be serious threats. Right now, there's no reason to run either of them unless you're grinding for your 3L or want a challenge.
