I've been playing like a potato today, which is... Really disturbing. It's probably because I keep getting focused on by a significant number of people while running a Victor.

Had a match where it was a 11-2 steamroll by 5min in - and it took until 11min to conclude the entire match.

One KDR-preserving git was hiding in a corner of Frozen City. Took ages to find him =.=

Depending on what variant it is, they can be disarmed rather quickly or be a real pain in the butt. I think that's partly the reason why people don't use them.

I mean, the ones that only have the M hardpoints on the arms tend to be rendered harmless by taking off the big ears, and the ones that don't have much on the ears just get facepunched. It helps that it's smaller now, but I also think that most people haven't realised just how small catapults are now.

I'm waiting for MRMs before I bother again with Catapults.

not my faults that people use the main weapons in those arms mine are all in the torso
and ye the cat is pretty awesome when you have decent speed and skilled mobility with JJ's. the dancing is phenomenal
just the torso pitch is awful /o\

Finally decided to level the Banshee we won on my alt. It's a horrible mech. It feels like everybody is shooting at me and it's made out of tissue paper. I don't get it, I do okay in Stalkers and they aren't more agile.



187 matches to reach 1:1. When I was done I went so far that I sold the one on my main so that I wouldn't be tempted to level this travesty of a mech one again.

[Trenchbird]

You gotta build the BNC-3M right to get good scores with it. It's barely good with 4 PPCs due to low mounts and heat, so you have to abuse HPs so you can get a bunch of lasers on high.

Otherwise, it's faster than it used to be, and can mount a 3XLPL+5XML build pretty well.

Stalker has a much lower profile, with smaller torso hitboxes.

And yeah, I found the Banshee melted easily when I played it last month. I could actually safely run it with an XL, because almost all my deaths were due to CT being cored.
Something needs to be done about the torso size, or relative side/center torso hitbox sizes on the Banshee. It is just way too easy to core it.

My build was 4xERLL 3xMPL and a standard engine, that was the only build I could get to work somewhat. You can see that the W/L is bad but I averaged 400 damage per game so I don't think it was just me dragging the team down.

ffs of late im crackin those 1k dmg numbers >_>

I had some terribad teams too when I was playing my BNC-3M(C) last month; 35 battles played, 15 wins to 19 losses (0.79 W/L), despite managing a decent 31 kills to 28 deaths (1.11 K/D, 0.89 K/, 469 damage/battle and 294 average match score.

By my kill, damage and match score stats, I should have been managing around 1.20 to 1.50 W/L, so I was definitely getting messed around by bad teammates.

It is just incredibly frustrating to be losing so many battles when I'm playing at an above average level of performance that should be producing more wins than losses.

skill tree needs reworked badly

tired of games where the assault (and the rest of the team) will stand in the open on frozen city, eating LRMs, then have the assaults complain about "not getting support"

for f's sake, you stood in the worst possible spot and died to LRMs, there's noting anyone can do to help your clueless butts there

Yup. And to assaults complaining about not being able to sacrifice 1.5 tons + 2 slots for AMS? You know, a 3x AMS kitfox is sacrificing almost 7 tons of its meagre 15 ton payload just to shield your asses...

[UnofficialOperator]

In multiple Tier 1 matches where pilots don't know what the alpha/beta structures are for in domination...

[Fox With A Shotgun]

"Leave the squirrels to the lights" means exactly that, fatmechs...

Don't try to waddle after that lone ACH that our light wolfpack is hunting down with extreme prejudice. One: you're not going to catch up. Two: don't fling those stupid Gauss Rifle + ERPPC shots if you can't bloody aim! We got the ACH down, at the cost of TWO lights and ONE medium! TEAMKILLED by our own stupid fatmechs!

[jper4]

most important whine ever.

shouldn't those chocolate catapult cockpit items we got for the easter event start to melt if your mech overheats?

I still really want a triple AMS assault mech. Someone should hardpoint-inflate the AS7-K for more AMS.
