Be an opportunist. Mediums aren't fit to brawl against AC/40s, so use your wit and right time to flank the enemies.

Ok, i got no skill, ...

err.. i think those pple go for streaks or lrms. .... or maybe ppcs, so that they have unlimited number of shots to compensate for not so good aiming.

For AC40, more aiming is needed, not less. With it, I find myself looking more at the target info to find out where to plant the next ac40 shots (except for the lights).

To come up with tactics, the best is to PLAY as AC40. No other better ways to "get into his mind".

Beware the AC40 with Advanced Seismic Sensors. All the speed in the world won't save you when they are expecting you to pop out from behind whatever. I've had a bit more luck swapping a 6ML Jenner for a 3LL Cicada and hanging around 500m, always near come cover.

Whats the top speed of the average Jagerbomb anyways? On a random note, they have a bad habit of catching my dragon at times (top speed ~88)

You have to be good, and I manage this about 1 out of 5 tries, but... the AC/20 is actually easy to miss with or plant into turf.

Alter your speed and heading with erratic timing and you can get them to miss fairly easily.

If the guy is a crack shot, well, just try and make sure he is shooting someone else, preferably an Atlas

Fixed that for you.

Medium mechs are fast strikers / skirmishers. They should be moving in and out of conflicts creating confusion and exploiting the backside of someone facing Stalker of PPCdoom 120383423....

You can here the Boowhump of the 20 and count to his cycle time and JJ when it's up, on the CATS it will take you completely over their ability to hit you, on the Jagers it makes it slightly more difficult to hit you.
