I think you guys do ok for the most part but..... Your weapon balancing pretty much sucks... Everything goes from one extreme to another every time we turn around its a new meta. Aim your nerf gun back at the Machine gun.... reduce the crit rate a bit. It is the new boated brawling weapon.

NO!

It was fine prior to the nerf .

Brawling is endangered enough as it is, between the low level guys getting massacred by LRMs and the high level players going all jump-snipe-or-die!

MG the new boated brawling weapon???

HAH. Noob alert.

I do agree that PGIs balancing sucks. But the MG is either a bit underpowered, or fine.

If you are getting repeatedly killed by MACHINE GUNS, then it means you are BAD.

Nerf MGs? Now I've heard everything

Clink cannons are rather easy to ignore. I only ever see light mechs firing them. If a light mech is trying to harass me I'm either bulky enough to ignore the clinking and let someone more distracted handle the light, or I'm fast enough to retreat or return fire.

Yep, let's nurf the locust too.... Some people are still using it...

Not sure if trolling...

So many people are terrified of MGs. They do nothing against armor unless you let them pound away for half a minute or more (and that's with four of them at once). They require other weapons to get through armor before they really start to do anything, and even then PGI has nerfed their damage output against internals and components to the point where they are merely functional rather than actually good.

[Flying Blind]

To be fair to the OP, lately packs of Embers have sawed a lot of cored bits off mechs very quickly to the point that, in some games, any part you don't have armor on may as well just have fallen off with the armor for how long it lasts.

But nerf machine guns? No, they are fine. Four of them on each of 3 mechs shooting you should rip unarmed parts off fast.

Or he is sporting XL's and going against a lot of light mechs who know how to target lock and aim their MG's at exposed panels.

No.

Not because it would be a big deal, but because of the use of "da" instead of "the" in the thread title.

or you just had the misfortune of running across a Yiazmat/Bishop Ember Roll. We've had some pretty good success against some pretty good players, but it's as much the teamwork as it is anything else. That said, once we got you open, our 8 MGs are going to make you very uncomfortable...... .more so if Twig and Noonan are with us. Then it's 12 mediums, 12 mGs and a whole lotta SSRMs coming your way. Get caught out by that I don't care how good you are, you die unless you get support muy pronto.

Yes. It is perfect that it is on someone else's mech and not mine!
