Teammates are useless and you can only depend on yourself.

Please add 700 ton mechs so I can solo drop against a team of 12

K thanks.

I would love to be that A1 that just rattles your cage with 6 LRM5s while you move 16kph...

16kph seems a bit fast? I kindve figured more like 8-10kph. But thats not the point. The point is no awful teammates on your team.

Battletech only goes up to 200 tons, sadly.

Or you can go down to 150 tons if you want to have 3+ Gauss Rifles.

Or, if you liek tripods, you can go down to 135 tons.

So, I recognized the Omega and the Ares, but I had never seen the Orca until now... :P

Also, I think of the Arms Forts (specifically, the Land Crabs) when seeing the Superheavy 'Mechs, and then imagine going up against them while piloting White Glint or Noblesse Oblige... ^_^

You can play 1 on 1 with a friend ... if you got MC/$$ to buy premium time. No horrible teammates, no wait times whatsoever.
Oh wait ... you need at least one friend to do that. Awww dang ... anyone knows if they sell friends for MC yet?

with 8-10kph you won't even e able to turn, so any light will ripp you off from behind, he just will need something like 5 minutes.

With the maximum engine setting of an Large XXL -> you have 500 * 1.5 = 750

So the maximum weight for a Mech must be near 750t.
With 154t of Engine
With 133t of Standard Armor (for example with 800 points frontal armor)
Structure of hm 150t

Remaining 302t for weapons and ammunition and a top speed of 10.8kph
