I cannot speak for others though for me particularly I am not a fan of legging or being legged.

Not to say I have not because I have in the past though it really does leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I generally frown on intentional legging.

For me it is a last resort.

For those that number more than one and group target legs, that is just cheap. I have seen it, I have had it done to me and frankly it is weakness of character and team mentality.

I think it diminishes the challenge of combat.
I realize there are times you do what you need to do to win, though at other times..

At the very least within Clan Ghost Bear that I play with, we do not or at least try not to leg, especially during trials to uphold some level of honor and integrity. (I hope so...)

A: "Hey guys, lets all leg that Jenner just as he comes around the corner - go for the right leg. He is the last one and we are all cored and beat to hell."
B: "Okay, sounds like a good idea."
C: "Roger. Going for the right leg."
Some wannabe clanner: "WAIT A MINUTE GUYS. Legging is foul play. Let's let him just pick us apart - I don't like to win."

I recall a fight once. This is only partly quoted as it was one of those terrifying helpful "walls."

If you don't seem to be getting anywhere shooting at an enemy's body, try a leg. I probe them frequently. Everyone lowers armor there to have more room for weapons.

An example follows: Yesterday I was fighting an Atlas with my Muromets (a cataphract). He had twin PPCs, Gauss Rifle, and 3 SRM-6s. I closed in so his PPCs would be largely ineffective and focused on the gauss rifle. My twin medium lasers, large laser, AC-20, and twin machine guns just hammered and hammered. When it became raw, the Atlas became smart. He torso twisted when I was about to fire my AC-20 again, and his arm soaked up the damage instead. Immediately he turns back and unleashes SRM and Gauss love (by some miracle it didn't explode with the loss of armor). The machine guns took care of it though with a critical hit, the result caused his side torso to explode.

From there he started to move a lot to keep me from focusing in on his other side (he'd be defenseless then). He took advantage of the hills he was near to keep his body raising and lowering as he destroyed my AC-20. As the fight continued he became desperate and started firing his PPCs at close range, combined with the devastation of his 3 SRM-6, I soon found myself in a world of hurt. I needed him to stop moving. With my medium lasers torso mounted, I kept them on his torso while I used CTRL and probed his leg with MGs and a large laser. His "shiny" new healthy armor was instantly removed; he couldn't have had more than 9 armor on his leg!!! With it raw, I focused all my weapons on it. He was legged in an instant. No longer going up and down it was easier to focus his side torso.

His next shot took out my all but 1 medium laser and 1 machine gun. Two ML shots and some machine gun spray later, he lost his other side torso. Now disarmed, I proceeded to shoot him in the chest. At the end of this one on one (conquest map, everyone else fighting at Theta while I'm near the dropship) I pressed T and told him that was a great fight. Sadly he responded with "That sucked, you wouldn't be able to take me out if I had my streaks." Meh. So he wasn't a good sport. I went on to wander off and find Epsilon to cap it. Shortly after we won. I had two kills and somewhere in the 700's for damage with no assists.

That Atlas was tough.

Long story short, taking out his leg is what won it for me. Otherwise it would have been too hard to focus my shots and I would have lost.

Good luck out there.

This is why I always healthily apply at least 85% leg armor.
That way you don't get laserburn. Remember kids, Ferro-Fibrous is like sunscreen for lasers.

Which...means.....that.......it's not wearing any clothes.

bad analogy.

Barnaby Jones always shot guys in the leg and he was never dishonorable.i would be happy if i could hit at all

I don't know why some people are whining about honor combat. I've seen it done a few times, it's a fun thing when it happens. The enemy team also has the right to refuse the duel to begin with. If they want to watch a fun duel they certainly can, they can also just say "nah, not this time" Again, happens more often in 8 mans where people are having fun against other 8 mans.

If you have a problem with honor combat, just say so in chat. You know, that's a thing. Other than that, let people have their fun.
