Sorry found the problem.
I already had one equipped.
There were EVEN MORE! ECM equipped Mechs out there than I thought.
Now trying a Command Console to cut through all the Jamming.
Wish I could carry 2 UAVs.

The number of ECM equipped 'mechs has increased recently, but with the range nerf, it's much less of an issue than that used to be. Of course if you're running anything other than an SRM splat-cat in your A1, this may not seem like the case.

As TheCaptainJZ mentioned, the command console does nothing. If you had an energy slot you could mount a TAG laser but that's about it. My suggestion would be to re-think your tactics. If you can't make the 'mech do what you want, find something else for it to do.

I totally wish we could carry 2 UAVs though.

Is there a way to save multiple control configurations, a la MW3? I don't see a way to do it in the GUI.

Thanks!

Not yet, I think should be the proper response. I believe there have been talks on it possibly being implemented. (Probably not likely though.)

Has anyone else been seeing an increase in people who fail to load into a match or d/c and don't come back recently? It's been rampant on my team today, and wondered if non-playing was becoming more common or if I'm just on a MM hate streak.

Could be poor connection. Could be new player "error". Could be people "I don't like this map/mode" quitting.

Who knows. Most you can do is report them, and let PGI deal with it. Least you can do is ignore them and play on.

I've not noticed a difference, so it may just be the RNG gods who hate you.

Hi, I just bought the Marauder Package at the Store. I can already activate my banked premium time, but i didnt, receive the Marauder Mechs, did i miss something?

[Raubwurst]

There can be a delay of 15 minutes (up to one hour, but it doesn't happen often).
Have you tried a relog?
You should get a blue notification window ingame with items, which got redeemed, when they have arrived.

[SpeedyLennox]

Ah, it worked after i reloging :]

Thanks for your quick answer

[Tesunie]

Sometimes, you also just need to hop into a match/training to get the notification window and to redeem items.

Short, simple question:

I upgraded my Jenner IIC pack to the Highlander IIC pack. The Content and Preorders section confirm I have the Highlander IIC pack, however, I still only have the Jenner IIC in-game.

How much time after purchase do I have to wait until the remaining IIC mechs are injected?

Several things:
- It can take up to an hour after purchase for items to appear. Long if it takes longer for your purchase to be processed (credit confirmed).
- Sometimes, you need to log out and relog in. Or, sometimes playing a match will result in your items being claimed.
- If none of these steps work, and it doesn't appear within a few days, contact support via E-mail.

So my mech of choice for pugging is my Firebrand with 2xAC20s. I decided to try something new with 3 LPLs and 3MLs. My damage is about the same or higher (Not having a hard damage cap is pretty awesome), but my Cbills are pretty consistantly around 300k where as before they could get up to 500k. Is their something with the way Cbills are calculated that would cause 2xAC20s to earn more Cbills than the lasers? The only thing I can think it could possibly be is salavge being greatly effected from a greater damage spread across parts.

Might be more concentrated damage, which means higher salvage.
Might be more scouting as you wait to get into range.
Might be more movement within the team, which also results in more protects.
Might be... a lot of things.


Match score, and thus C-bill earnings, are rated typically on your actions in the game. What actions you take changes with what weapons you've got, and how you are using your mech at that time. So, if your earnings are changing, I'd say it's because the way you are using your mech has changed.

OK, I finally got the mechs, just after a couple of hours, so it's all good. Thanks!

Probably processing time for your transaction to clear the bank. It can take a while sometimes.

[TheCaptainJZ]

As for the firebrand question, you're probably getting more protection bonuses by being with the team and savior kills which just means you are fighting an enemy fighting a critically injured ally. Savior kills still pay out quite well. Are you getting more assists before? That pays better too. It's probably not salvage since that includes all 12 enemies and won't be heavily dependent on any one persons actuons.

A BoomJäger with 2AC20s has a maximum damage per secounds of 6.7 while a Jägermech with 3LPL+3ML has only 3.56 DPS. That means you can deal almost twice as much damage over time without overheating while the alpha damage with the large pulse lasers is only 8 points higher at 48 compared to 40 of 2AC20s.

(This is perhaps more a TT BattleTech question, but I'm sure there's someone here who knows the answer.)

I've been wondering why some stock mechs (e.g. SHD-5M) have a side-torso CASE while using an XL engine? This configuration is obviously pointless in MWO, as protecting your CT from a ST ammo explosion helps little when the ST destruction kills you anyway. Does CASE work differently in TT?
