This is the start of a medium mech based group, I'm hoping to get a 12 man group following a certain group of 50T mechs. Our group will be fast with long range firepower and will get us swift wins.

Caution:
-The recommended mechs are expensive (13mil+ cbills)
-They are all medium.

I am thinking about using 3 KTO-18 for the lights here's a recommended build, theese Kintaros would be used to hunt down lights;

And 8 Dual PPC TBT-5J, here's the recommended build for them theese are the main firepower of the team and if we focus fire we can take out almost any mech in 1 group alpha strike;

In this group I am looking for people who have some experience and know how to play as a team. I play at around 5-7pm 0GMT. You must speak english, and you can use skype (highly recommended) for contacting me aswell. PM if you want to join and tell me which mech you would go as (Kintaro or Treb) it would also be nice if you were to tell me other stuff that I might take into consideration such as your KD or time playing BT games or any other expirience with FPS games, I'll respond ASAP, and tell you if you get in our group or not I will also give you my skype details so you can join me.

ATM I'm in an atlas but if all the mechs are in I'll sell them and get a PPC Trebuchet to join with the group. My mic doesn't work atm so if you're in skype ill be typing ingame.

I don't mind if you have slightly diffrent builds but as long as you have the same idea - fast mech with 2 PPC's (Trebuchet) or 5/4SSRMS (Kintaro), feel free to PM it to me or say below.

If there's any information left unclear please tell me below. If you have any ideas for a name for this group post below what you would recommend.

would you be willing to except other medium variants who still fulfill your desired roles? I have a Blackjack BJ-1X who can fullfill your desired sniper role. It lacks jump jets but makes this deficiency with better weapon placements, they're all on my top right side.

I would take on a Blackjack yes, as long as you are over 95kmph in speed.

I salute the idea, but you will lose more often than not in the current meta, especially in 12 man.

Teamwork, skill and co-ordination wins any day. I heard a 12man light group won against a normal 12 man pre-made, so why wouldn't we be able to win often.

Because lights tend to be faster and therefore harder to hit while mediums are just slow enough to be easy pickings without enough armor. Not to mention that PGI once again has a lag-shield over certain lights.

We'd kill them before they can even react with an array of PPC's and we would have Kintaro's to take care of the lights

Flawed idea... Since tonnage limits will be introduced eventually..

First off KDR means nothing in a """"TEAM BASED""""" game Dmg done and WLR would be good to look at though. Medium Mech only unit .?.?.? umm if you were thinking just to have fun with in 4 man's maybe even sync droping 2-3 4 mans in the PUG que then sure. But umm that will not work in Pre-made 12's bud. You might get lucky once an a wail, but other wise it wont happen. Medium Mech currently are not viable in competitive play sorry. O and you do know your mech's in thoughs smurfy links are missing there back armor right ?

Have you ever even been in a 12 man ? And not some BS 12 man I mean a "serious panda competitive" 12 man, cuz from what you are saying id say you have not.

@ simon:
spelling, punctuation, and grammar, do you dig it? Also, saying mediums are not competitive shows you've never been up against the srm centurions and kintaros that the serious business types drive. They work, trust Me.

@ OP:
It's a cool idea, some buddies and I had a kind of similar group one night about a month ago. Myself and one bud were running two Quickdraws with lasers and srms, another bud was running a Hunchback also with lasers and srm (I think), and a guy who came into the dropship that night had a stock Wang.
We won most of our matches.

Good luck with this project, and if I could make a suggestion: Move your jumpjets and DHS to your side torsos as crit padding. Otherwise, as soon as you get your side armor knocked out, the next hit is almost guaranteed to go straight to your xl engine.

600-615T of mechs is within the range isn't it?

If we can't trust PGI.. If they go any lower than 600T... Well you know...
