First Person View is also in the options or F4.

Getting in to a good position on a map and catching the enemy team with their pants down with no cover, is how many battles are won.

Dont be cought alone, some places on the maps are lights territory. If a pack of them sniffs you out thell send missiles and pain.

Try keeping close to cover in case it starts raining missiles.

Think about your distance. if your weapons deal full damage at 400m then there is no reason to go closer, especially if the enemy is packing bunch of ML,SRMs,AC-20. But if its LRM and PPC heavy get it there fast! Dont forget your weapons have maximum range.

Be flexible and think on your toes, if your lance(say couple of mediums and some heavy) goes in to a KILL BOX(and are heavily out gunned with no cover) dont follow them, they will be killed, run and join another lance. But if assaults are assaulting, help them. (As a heavy pilot ill die to keep my Atlases alive, allways storming with them, keeping their backs free.)

You then went on to say that his post was specific, something you wish to avoid, but then say it was basically your guide above anyway? Consistency is always good for clarity.

Ehm yes? You don't understand? I didn't add the part about missile fire because it falls under the basic of Cover to - Cover. I didn't add the part about weapons because each weapon has different values of damage over distance or heat values. I didn't add the part about assault 'Mech's because it falls under Cover - to - Cover. This is what I meant. We are saying the same thing, you think I am saying something else? <-- New

Many of his examples fall under the same sub-section of my guide, which is not important to me. This guide is supposed to tell players how to act within the first 10-20 matches. From there they must have some kind of experience or exercised some kind of initiative and found a much deeper guide which goes in-depth about map specific combat tactics, weapons allocations and heat management.
