and then get ***** by people with real weapons and a decent amount of armor

and are countered by ECM's.

and generate a ton of heat.

and also have no hit registration.

and can only fire at one target at a time.

and spread damage like crazy.. and the popular ones are easily disarmed...

But really though if they were that imbalanced in tonnage your team should have won. Unless they were using spiders in which case I actually have sympathy for you. Ravens suck, Commandos.. are they even in the game anymore?.. Jenner is a walking CT.. Spiders are gods.

You can boat steaks and have lots of other weapons.

I was in a match a few days ago where the enemy had 7 lights. Their other mechs had barely reached us by the time their lights were finishing the last of us off...

But don't worry, i'm sure there will be players along soon telling you how much you suck because they have no problem killing lights, no doubt with their high alpha shots (the only realistic way of killing lights fast).

This is war, it is not fair.

That said, I can understand your frustration at times when piloting my Victor.
The major issue right now is that mediums have the same issue killing lights as assaults.
Lets not speak about the SDR issue atm, it's just a cruel joke.

But sometimes we will loose to a gimmick team anyway.

Lastly there are some awesome light pilots out there. I have the pleasure to play with two of them, don't forget to give skill a cheer here and there.

fairness lol what made you think anything is fair atm in MWO, The issues run deep in the forums and I do hope it gets better soon.

Match making you would think will be fixed within the next 2 weeks for launch. If not it will be a rude welcoming for the new players. just my quick 2 cents worth.

The fact that the spider has been ruining gameplay fun this long and is still not either fixed or disabled is absolutely hilarious.

[Elder Thorn]

yeah, 5 vs. 1 or 0 lights is always fun, esspecially when playing conquest on one of the bigger maps

I posted before he changed the link, which lead to the mechlab, but no example mech.

I think there are two views on this:
1) I can kill light mechs easily.
2) I can't kill the little *******'s!

i just wonder how many people saying #1 use light mechs (which obviously can go 1-on-1 with other lights) or use high damage alphas (which will heavily damage or destroy parts of a light, or even kill it if it's already damaged). Of course PGI are trying to remove the high alpha ability, so when/if it happens some people might start seeing lights differently if they rely on high damage atm.

How many saying #2 are using more "balanced" mechs where their damage from multiple hits gets spread around the light mech due to speed/maneuverability. Defense = armour + speed (i include torso twisting and using JJ's here).
I know i can pretty regularly get hits on an assault mech in the same area, whereas hits on a light get spread all over. Therefore, for me at least, lights have more armour to get through...unless i'm lucky.

5 Lights can be a godsend or a matchmaker from hell. Depends on there pings and your teams pings (A.K.A How much lag your gettings). Also does not help if there spiders. Then its like they have 5 Atlases running around at 150.
