LRM15s or LRM20s?

Back when I last played, lrm15s was the preferred choice because they hit more concentrated than lrm20s so was more effective even though they did less damage. (THis was both with and without artemis.)

Is this still true? Which should you use on a lurmboat?

IS LRM 15, no Artemis

Clan LRM not good

Does KMDD counts into the KDR or only killing blows count?
I lately goes for KMDDs instead of kill because more rewarding (ongoing event you know)...
Also, what the heck is Jarl's percentile exactly? I have 95% percentile in the last two months despite I were involved in more lost battles than won...

[Ignatius Audene]

Only kills for K/d.

Ranks are determined by adjusted match score for players who have been active in the last three months.
Players who have stopped playing are still tracked but are placed into "retirement". They will be placed back into ranks if they return but
their latest performance will have significant effect on their placement when returning


Your weightclass adjusted average Matchscore was quite good despite your only 1.0.ish W/l. This results in higher percentile for jarls.

Thanks for the answer! So I need to collect some kills also...

Thanks. But now I would suffer a huge fallback. Group-dropping always unhealthy for my PSR still I like it...

So lately me and some friends are getting annoyed by the 'penalties' imparted on us. specifically because if the oceanic server outage now if we do ANYTHING in game like team damage or accidental teamkill we get hugely penalized. fo example in the urbie event i was rac5'ing an enemy and a dead-on legs teammate walked in front of my fire and died cause rac 5 to open red ct urbie. i had a 4 min penalty for that match. another time i was running my mad iic with twin ac20's and a teammate got close to an enemy and when i fired it hit him instead of the enemy because he moved between me and the enemy needless to say he died. what can i do about this can we get these penalties fixed for accidents or something?

[Rondoe]

LoL, tell your friends to quit getting in front of you. Accidents do happen and yes penalties suck, but the last thing I'd do is willingly step in front of a friendly RAC or any other weapon.

The penalty system has nothing to do with your home server and everything with how many penalties you have stacked for team kills, team damage and leaving matches while you still have a mech.

Your teammates were, to put it bluntly, idiots, but failing to realize a teammate is getting so close to your fire is an issue on your end.

Learn to control your itchy trigger finger better. PGI doesn't respond to tickets fast enough to do anything about the penalties, sorry.

if i know my teamate is going to be in my way i dont fire, but the c ac 20's fire a burst of 3 and racs have a spin up time and people can move from out of my line of site into my fire line and im not able to see them in time. because mechs are not all 180 perfect front vision. ect ect. also penalties from leaving games are stacked up because the oceanic servers wouldnt let us connect BECAUSE of the issues with them, once we realized it was the servers we obviously turned off ocieanic but the damage is already done.

I believe if you wait 24 hours without incurring any additional penalties, the penalty timer is reset? Maybe just take a break playing for a bit.

[w0qj]

The penalty timer resets at 23:59pm UTC time everyday, as below fyi:

This is why I would love to have a "So and So team killed/damaged you, forgive them?" option. Sometimes, you know you did the oops and walked into someone's fire (sometimes you had little choice). Those times, it would be nice to wave the penalty as an act of forgiveness because "it happens".

Not sure how such a system would work, but I think people get the idea. However, I can also see such a system being able to be abused (but then report-able).

Pardon me if this is not the proper topic but have a question:
I could link images from DropBox like I do from Imgur? I wonder because I considering a DropBox account...

[Nosmer]

I'm a sort of new player that really likes PPCs and dislikes lasers.
I'd like to pick myself a new heavy mech from an IS line, not necessarily PPC-exclusive.
If anyone could give some advice on this topic I would be grateful.

Try a Warhammer. Some are versatile for boating builds like AC-boat for example. Grasshopper is also good for energy boating. My one is a PPC-boat and works well (another thing I hate how it looks like and drive rarely). Also Archer is an excellent mech. Try the MRM80 (2xMRM40s) variant, that is a ballcrusher.
If you are still in T5 Thunderbolts may also viable as an option.
Note: I rarely use IS mechs but I advised the Warhammer-Grasshopper-Archer trio because I have very positive experiences with them.

What about mechs that use PPC+some other gun combo?
And what about Thunderbolt, is it that bad? Having MASC + ECM combo looks good to me.

Edit: I'm really liking the heavy PP Grasshopper, thank you.
