When a number of chassis can produce the AC40 effect... it seriously doesn't end well when they target your legs.

Hard-point restrictions or any other form of containing this problem would be great... a fast moving AC40 blowing off legs of your team is game crippling (literally, haha)

Stay further away.

Sometimes you have to adjust tactics.

Players who communicate and isolate Hunchback IIC wannabe can just pick it off at distance.

So your legs are removed by 40 damage... Get a Bigger Mech! 40 point alphas are not a lot of damage.

If you're team isn't dropping with 1200 tons. You're doing it wrong.

Most people rip armor off their legs, so I think the problem starts somewhere besides AC40.

I'm all for some form of hardpoint limitations, preferably slot-based, but let's face it, when the meta is pinpoint burst, ripping armor off your damn legs is stupid.

Wrong point. If you run a light or medium you need to accept that BFGs will Kill You fast!2 AC20s to remove a leg v the one needed on TT. :(

One AC20 on a light in TT is often a one-shot kill.

Stingers do not go toe-to-toe with Atlases.

Or Hunchbacks... unless you are crazy like I am.

I tangled with a Hunchie, lost my leg and was the last Mech (A wasp) on my side. I was firing my one Medium laser at anything that wasn't in my sides colors. Had a blast too! :(

Legs don't shoot back, but why would you bother shooting for the legs if you had AC40?

So you can get behind the enemy for some real AC40 fun?

Yeah we should make it that as soon as the crosshairs go below the waist it automatically bounces up with Beetchin Betty telling you "Naughty naughty, no hitting below the belt".

Well, the legs are attached to a whole lot of bits that shoot back, and taking one out makes it a lot easier to deal with the rest. And when people frequently strip a lot of armor off the legs... it's called common sense.

Really, asking for more nerf on the AC40? what you are too slow to move away? if so you deserve it.

let's worry about the super close range weapons while you can still get sniped from PPCs and Gauss.
