A: More salvage.

B: Easiest targets to hit on a 'Mech. PPC Stalkers should know this and abuse the CRAP out of it, as most targets save assault 'Mechs rarely have enough points in the leg to take two salvos.

C: Most people put ammo there, if they have more than one ton. Otherwise, it's in the head.

D: Lights. Leg 'em, and they're dead. Same with Mediums. And Heavies.

E: It slows the enemy down, as well as his torso twist speed. Legged Atlases ahoy!

Anyone want to continue the list?

F: It's fun. Nothing like legging an assault and watching them freak out.

G - If they have more ammo you just wasted precious time remving that leg while they were going for CT and have half killed you by the time you start aiming at their second leg.
H - You wasted time removing the leg so they still have all their weapons and can still do maximum damage to you
J - You want to be smart and try messing with people and unless they are bad they will **** your face hole with as many weapons as they can
K - leg me all you want im my cataphract i have the alpha of an ac40 fagger and the standard 300 engine of an atlas
L - I often store ammo in the arms because of silly people like you who aim for legs and then jokes on you when i keep firing ac20s and took nearly no damage

M. But surely you can't deny the feeling of satisfaction you get when happen to let a rather pesky Jenner?

"Hah! Get away from me now you jumpy little b#£€*&d!!" *pew pew dakka dakka target destroyed*

Pooty, we're not talking about just sitting there and wailing on the leg if there's ac20's being flung around. However if that ppc boat hit you once or twice and you leg is red. I'm shooting there until it's gone. Then I'll run away in my jenner and let the fatties take you down when you can't run. Not dealing with all of those autocannons. That's just crazy.
If you're in an assault, you only leg lights unless a quick pass of lasers shows that the centurion stripped his leg armor down to nothing, then shoot there.

I pretty much exclusively aim side torso now when I know the build isn't obviously a standard.

However, if I accidentally hit a leg and can tell that the enemy skimped down there, well you've just gotta take the fast road to victory., with ammo explosions being a very nice bonus.

I feel that most mechs just max or near max armor everywhere, and as a result don't go for legs by default unless it is a light.

N: They are a RVN-3L with streaks and ECM. Anyone who rocks cheese gets what they deserve. Legged.

[Broad5ide]

M: regardless which direction you shoot the legs from they have the same armor

[PanzerMagier]

N: The feeling of levity rises exponentially when you shoot someone's leg, the ammo detonates, blowing up the XL packed side torso.

*spray LBX shot over exposed leg*
*6 seconds later enemy mech pops like a kernel*
*enemy destroyed*
*Glees with joy since I didn't even waste my alpha, now I can continue with this atlas I'm brawling with*

Because TROLOLOLOL

[PanzerMagier]

No because sometimes people like to make it easy for you to one hit them. <3
