No offense but I can't see at all how a 90kph Locust with LRM's gives you good scores AT ALL unless you're playing in some extremely extremely low ELO tier where no one can hit a 90kph Locust considering they die in one hit to any ballistic over 10~15.
And to everyone questioning why, isn't it obvious? If it was just a regular Jenner only with 4 missiles it would be overpowered, assuming they ever get around to fixing missiles, it would easy stomp out every other light, adding JJ's only makes it worse. As it is now, it's still a little ridiculous imho but at least it has enough drawbacks to drag it down enough so that it isn't going to go around streaking every other light to death easily.
I don't know, but all I know is it's results when compared to my other Locusts.
My 3S stats from another thread:
http://mwomercs.com/...oy/page__st__20
42 matches, 19 wins, 23 losses, 13 kills, 32 deaths, 4,253 damage, 101 damage per match.
My stats for the 3S as of today, this moment:
48 matches, 20 wins, 26 losses, 14 kills, 36 deaths, 5,108 damage total, 106 damage per match.
In the 6 additional matches, this would be my score.
6 matches, 1 win, 3 losses (what?), 1 kill, 4 deaths, 855 damage total, 142.5 damage per match. (Wont let me unbold this...)
A common state of damage for this mech seems to follow along this point before I finally die (or in this case, win and live):
I don't know what it is, but my slow locust seems to be able to take a lot more firepower, where as my fast locusts seem to drop in a single hit. It really is like no one can hit a slow locust... I don't get it myself but I'm not going to argue about the results...
I would also like to add, since I picked up this custom, I've been seeing my stats for the Locust 3M actually improve. It's become my favorite Locust custom to play with right now. And, it seems to always earn more c-bills and experience than my other Locusts. Maybe I just know how to handle slower lights? (I have a Cicada 3C set up like a Hollander 3, and it only goes 80-90ish KPH as well...)
