Hi everyone!
First of all:

1) Unfortunately i can't prove this with a "print screen", but i assure you it happened, yesterday in the afternoon (Italy)

2) i'm not here to say stuff like "how good i am at this game". I think MWO it's 50% skill, and the other half is made of "being lucky". Lucky at what? Well, lucky in not being spotted; being ignored by opponents who already chose their personal "nemesis" of the match; having the chance to give the last shot and finish an enemy; finding the right teammates.

Given these premises, i'll start writing about what happened.
I don't remember anything about the early 4 kills, the interesting part concerns the last two of them
I was the last mech standing of my team, and two enemy mechs were capping our base in Tourmaline, so i decided to make a "weird" turn and crossed the small valley nearby the base. As i ran heading to the base, i suddendly saw an Atlas, and i was pretty lucky, because i shot an alpha of 6ML even before being in optimal range, and it was down as my green blades touched its CT.
Then there was one Jagermech left, and i did something not so wise. I found what i thought to be a clear spot, and turned off my mech in order to clear a possible tagging, then i made a few steps. I shot an another alpha to the Jager as i saw it, and almost the same thing happened once again: it died as i touched the CT.
A few users wrote something about that in public chat, so i wonder if someone remembers that match in order to be a witness.

Said that, GG to everyone!!!

I just did something like that with a 4sp hunch running 2lrm10 2 ml 2 sl, last 5 kills were all mine, a commando, a jenner, a catapault, a highlander, and lastly an atlas... i was the only one left with 3 mechs on me the jenner, pault, and atlas.. unfortunately i didnt screenshot either... :-/ the match was in tourmaline desert if anyone remembers it..

also mine was a bit more drawn out, the jenner was at 65% the cat at 98% and the atlas at 85%, the jenner dropped fast coming at me as i came into the area where theta is, hit my lasers and he dropped as the catapault approached from the south and the atlas from southeast. The catapault had a ac/20 and some larger lasers, i circled him 3 or 4 times then ran as the atlas crested a ridge, i ran over the ridge it crested so he has to turn around, im easily in lrm range now and unload on the pault for a good 15 seconds, twisting to avoid ct hits as the atlas lrm rained. i closed again to bring my lasers into play again and he dropped as i started to circle the atlas. then it was just a knock out duel with use both at 75%, atlas fire power against medium mobility. mobility wins when a mech cant run and unfortunately i have noticed a decline in assault pilots brawling/dueling abilities at close range... you dont try to turn with a medium in an atlas you backpedal and get to a wall...
