I know, but there are specific rules for that ! Refit kits decided what you can and cannot change in a mech and they were largely based on common sense.

It's a matter of personnal taste that I prefer to play a game "as intended" instead of modding everything and I understand not everyone wants that, but IMO it could make a very fun and strategic game. The Awesome would come back as being Awesome...

IF you used those rules Sy. I was twisting Mechs around before there were hard and fast "rules" for Custom Variants.

The second the Launch Module drops, I know I am going to be spamming/scouring the forums for 3025 private matches. I'm already planning on which mechs to use.

I'd love this but I don't have the time investment to purchase stock 3025 'Mechs; perhaps a solution would be for PGI to offer stock 'Mech options in the Premium Launch module matches?

we'll have to wait and see. Still, getting a constant 15 pinpoint dmg to the face won't be my definition of "balanced" gameplay. I guess it'll be a good prelude to the Mauler.

What does a 4x AC/5 JM6 do to you that a 3x AC/5 BNC won't copy? Shooting 3x AC/5s with 2x PPCs will over heat you. You can try it out with VTRs and HGNs right bow with 1 less AC/5 and see how fast the heat goes up constantly shooting them all.

Focus on the right torso and soon enough you're only dealing with 1 ppc..

or nothing if it's got an XL


NOT WORRIED

Pretty much. I always go for the Atlas' RT first to knock it out.

Yea, I'll be hosting some as well. I have 4 months from Phoenix and 2 months (one came this patch from early purchase) coming from Clan (used up my my 2 months of Founders).

so, because it'll happen on even terrain, it'll suddenly be okay??!

Hell yes, means I can shoot back with more of my arsenal before he falls behind cover in .5 seconds...

4x AC/5 Jager dies very quickly because it must have an XL engine and paper for armor to fit 4 AC/5s and ammo for them.

The BNC however will be covered in near max armor (has ablative arms for soaking hits) secondary energy weapons (I recommend 2 lrg lasers instead of the 2 PPCs) And a 300 -325 std engine (I recommend the 325)

The BNC will however not be doing one thing the Jager does and that is fighting up hill (no arm mounted weapons on the model in question)

Due to the limitations of the BNC-3E with fighting on slopes I would probably only use one in a defensive role where I pick the terrain the fighting will take place.

I was referring to Sybreed's post about "getting a constant 15 pinpoint dmg to the face won't be my definition of "balanced" gameplay" so I asking why worry about it then when you have 4x AC/5s now from JM6s hitting you in the face.

They nerf HGN JJ sniping in time to release a new hero assault mech and subsequent models thereafter...hmmm
