Doing some recording last night, I was hoping to catch some light vs light ownage to submit a positive counterpart to ShinVector's gloomy video in this thread about small pulse lasers on 7F's.
Well, I didn't record what I was looking for - but I did catch this memorable encounter along the way.
Low DMG compared to some of my other fights that night, but I thought I'd share the modest hilarity with the forum.
Stole err....snagged 4 kills on mechs my generous teammates were able to weaken and disable so that i could pull off the win.
I spend the first 2:25 running around aimlessly - but Strauss II...so I guess its ok.
Ending's clear at about 8:30 - no surprises after that.
As for Small Pulses, - I know they suck - you don't have to point it out.
HA! Fascinating to see this from a different perspective - I remember spectating you when the Jager finished off one of your legs - then a couple beautiful shots later... Such an interesting round, I thought we were up going into it then it seemed like half of us got wiped out. Crazy ending to an crazy match Thanks for sharing!

Good to see you MercJ, - You know, at the end I was originally intending on pursuing the Stalker to our base. I mean, he wasn't that much faster than I and I would've caught up with him soon after he began capping.
Probably could've legged him before he could get away again, then he'd be done for. That might've been fun to watch.
But then I got worried that I'd get stuck on something or he'd manage to escape and it would just be a timed-out match, so I took the cap as per our spectators' suggestions.

Had a few good matches, but this is one to remember. Low DMG compared to some of my other fights that night, but I thought I'd share the modest hilarity with the forum.

Well.. Till PGI can fix HSR for close quarters combat for high latency like myself. (250ms.)
My experience with any kind of lasers at close range is gloomy.
I was not going to bother explain the issue with the OP on the other thread as, he was being such a 'donkey' with his insulting remarks.
Apparently unless I am someone shooting someone with very low ping, HSR just does not work at all.
Documented below in my video, the fight with the commando.
It just takes too much risk and, little or no reward fighting at that close range for me.
Anyway it is great to see how SPLS is suppose to work, from a low ping bug_gers (this word is censored???) point of view.
Good Job !
The video title is sarcasm by the way:
Meanwhile I have discovered that in a light, long range sniping, Raven 3L, ECM, 2xERLL, UAV is probably the best way I can contribute, be it a solo PUG or a high ELO team PUG.

Hi Shin, Yeah that other thread got pretty awkward. I've seen your HSR vid previously, - interesting stuff, and I can only hope the experience continues to improve for those players with higher pings.
As for contibuting long range, - no one can argue against the wisdom of keeping your light at safer ranges, HSR issues or no.
SPL's would need another buff before anyone can talk about them being competitive for players at any ping strata. But until then, they can be crazy fun to use...in PUG games anyway.
The kind of SPL match I was hoping to record is one where I might get the better of 2 enemy lights simultaneously. Of course, then we could just question the skills of the enemy pilots involved but still....

Hmmm... Not sure whether PGI will be able to fix the problem before SC's dogfighting module will be up.
The community has been drained of many decent pilots and many broken promises later...
MWO has started to get really boring... I am essentially a Cbill farmer, nowadays...
Anyway saw your A-wing video.. I get the feeling you will be there in SC too. LOL.

Man you got that right, was just walking around my Aurora the other day in that snazzy hangar module.
MWO is still captivating to me cause I've only been here two months.
