Hey guys,

Used to get average scores with catapult in the 300-400 range.

-Master Mech, modules loaded-

After latest patch average scores are below 100.
It's not me...
Something changed???

Other people are getting better.

It is hard to speculate knowing only "catapult", but as you move through the various Elo brackets, the meta-game changes. Maybe what you were running isn't as effective as it used to be. Additionally the catapult is a very vunerable mech, are you getting killed earlier in matches?

I'm still doing average with my cat. As been said, the game changes to longer range/higher alpha at higher brackets, thus exaggerating the weaknesses of the catapult.

A member since Sept 17... maybe you have hit your proper Elo bracket an now need to work a bit harder to score more damage. This isn't meant as an insult, I was wracking up lots of damage in a Jenner in one Alt. Until I put in a few dozen matches.

When I bring out the Green Meanie he does fine (he's my command Mech). He has 2 Lerm 15's, 3 med lasers, Tag and some Jump Jets. I actually have to brawl with the guy and never depend on others to target my stuff for me even if they want to. I average over 300 damage per game with him.

I have been using the 'Pult since day 1, but it has been put on the back burner more and more in recent weeks. It's just too fragile. That head and CT are just too easy to take out and I can pack more firepower onto my Phract. The Catapult is still my favorite looking mech in MWO, but when I take it out onto the field, I find myself having to play twice as vigilant just to grab the same scores I can in some of my Phract and Jagger builds.

It doesn't help that 2/3 of the mechs out there seem to be assaults.

My K2 is probably my best mech, damage and kills wise. My other 'pults (A1 and C1) are reasonably solid.

Well.......



Looks like the Catapult works just fine to me.
