Also, LRMs need to have their damaged increased to 2.5 per missile so people will stop standing around on an exposed hill going "Ugg Duhh" waving their autocannons wildly at nothing in particular and wondering why they get wiped off the map so fast.

That will not have the intended result and will instead lead to mass QQing and leaving the game. Not to mention it would invalidate every other weapon.

[Ustarish]

its called premium hitboxes.
thats why ember > other firestarters.

[Cactus In The Rear]

No,in fact I'd say that the other firestarters are just as borked and the Huginn actually has less favorable boxes due to its jumping making everything go to the legs.

[Ustarish]

dont jump.

but more seriously its probably because when people are aware that there is 3l on the flank they actively scan the area for it and snipe it whenever they can. so you get hit by pinpoint alpha everytime someone might have a chance.
mg hugin is just annoying and people treat him seriously when they dont have an armor to protect them and we all know its too late then.
ask your self if you could shoot one of two mechs. ecm and non-ecm. who would you shoot?

o found a nice pic that might explain why you live longer in hugin.

hey. it was hard for me when i tried to explain it in words. :>
this picture isnt perfect. i would do it much better but "im too lazy"
but thats one of the reasons poptarting is so good in this game. [lets make it another whine about that].
you must lead target to shoot at one and your crosshair will probably be on the sky with infinity range so if you shoot with both of your hands [lets say you have ballistic on hands] then you will probably hit with only one.
on the other hand if poptart is usign that famous dragon slayer with ppc's on right torso and ac5's in right arm, both this weapon systems are close to each other so they will share their trajectory.
not to mention that with height advantage their crosshair will be aimed at the ground few meters behind you [if they need to lead] so their convergence will be more advantageous then yours.

edit: another qq is about my typos >.<

Narc only kills the slow and the stupid. Still say it's a waste for the tonnage. Never mind that I'd never actively encourage MORE hapless lrm spam players

You want the "Carry Harder" thread. I've been getting too many of those lately.

[1453 R]

Okay, this is pretty much the best thread I’ve found on this forum outside the Guides/NPH section. Yes please. More like this.

Here’s a whine for ya – I’m stuck at work all day browsing the forums between calls and wishing I could play games instead of playing games. Cursed gainful employment and its ability to facilitate my gaming habit! How am I supposed to get into those Clan ‘Mechs I bought on a lark?!

Or some of the "Thank you" threads - provided you are actually sincerely grateful

Funny enough - I had a harder time understanding the pic than the words around it (IE the other posts talking about it)

But I tend to be weird like that.

Be interesting if we (or anyone) could come up with a convergence method that could work around that - predicting ahead would help - but could potentially feed into aimbots (I would think? )

Not to mention that you have no way of always knowing if they are going to maintain trajectory (or whatever the term would be)

[Hopper Morrison]

yeah, once again, Spectators with 20 damage in the game before they die criticizing every move I make or don't make.

[Cactus In The Rear]

All of you stupid N00bs!

Also my current lack of caffeine (I tend to go a little nuts without it).

on the narc bit.....
if you are going to narc know were your missile boats are. i give the guy credit for bring a narc and tagging 4+ targets but when the team, let alone the missile boat, is over 1000 m away, narc is useless. also feel free to spam the "R" key a bit.



on the work bit....
snow is gone my busy season is here. so very little time to play.
and if you think you have a poopy job i own the septic truck so there and port-a-potties

button that would set convergence to match the distance to target would be good.
option in the menu to turn it on/off like with arm lock or button push/press.
ecm would easily deny it but it would be something.
change to in bap could counter that if it would allow you to target [but not lock or share targeting data with others] mech hidden under the ecm.
then again i think ecm needs balancing...
and it goes on and on...

sooooo much if/would...
and nobody gives a crap anyway.

thats my whine.

but i had a good laugh today!
lance of meta victors + ddc qq'ed about my lurms!
it soothe my heart
maybe i should buy a1 and run 6x5?

[Cactus In The Rear]

I was in a match and had a screen freeze that turned my mech around and got me stuck on invisible terrain and killed by a dual gauss.

Do I win the whine thread?

[Alaskan Nobody]

I have had several game-freezes lately - but I kept forgetting to report them.
(thank you for reminding me Xanilos)

i have seen lance use words in lance chat to tell them how far they are from a target. Then they decide when to NARC or not. Worked well. That kind of teamwork is rare in my player bracket though.

[HimseIf]

lol how come i get an AC20 to the engine in the first minute of every match? A 100% loss ratio makes for losses.
