Fully understanding the nuances of MWO at the highest levels of play can be a daunting task. Why are some Mechs so much better than others? Why are some weapons considered useless? How do I optimize my Mech to maximize it's potential? Why do some players get so much damage? How do some players survive for so long? What are the player run leagues?

Below is a list of links that can help answer those questions. These resources can teach players interested in having a deeper understanding of MWO mechanics and the 12v12 scene.

-Smurfy Mechlab, an essential tool. . You can build mechs without wasting your c-bills by accident and you can save the builds so you can reference them later and share with other players.

http://mwomercs.com/...mech-tier-list/
-This is MavRCK's Mech tier list. No list is perfect, and everyone has their own opinion on what Mechs and builds are the strongest, but this list is a great breakdown of what Mechs are considered the best and the worst by the competitive scene.

Looks good. I'm glad to see there's still organized competitions with rules and guidelines.

Zhizhu will be getting back into active duty once tonnage restrictions are back into play. Most of the time when we try a balanced loadout the opposing team has 12 Atlas DDCs with streaks and ER PPCs and/or MLs and AC/20s and/or twin UAC/5s. Various highlander poptarts substitute-able for Atlases. LRMs substitute-able for Streaks. Of course, that's random 12 vs 12.

Yeah feel free to link it wherever it is relevant. Let me know if you have anything else to add to the list too.

Updated the OP with a link to Jager's AMA.

I HIGHLY recommend watching some of it if you want to pick up some knowledge. Great information for new pilots as well as the veterans.
