No, OP, actually no this thread isn't any different: it boils down to "the clan players played better".

Taktiks.

No. Just no.

No the clan teams are not all exercising superior tactics,while the IS, saddled with their noobs, are running around like imbeciles.

Just no.

Its called rationalization. You are seeing what you want to see in your statistically insignificant anecdotal matches to support your hope/belief that you are a better pilot and PGI won't nerf the toy you subconsciously know is better.

No. Im seeing exactly what the Minmap is showing me. Next time we have a Clan VS IS test i'll start taking pictures of the UI mid-fight to show it. That one brawl we had were i screencaped the ending result was the 1 and only match out of about 10-15, were the Is actually stayed in a 'group' and wasnt completely strung out in a line, or in small clusters. (with the exception of one match were all of the IS players thought it was a good idea to have 'everyone' inside the tunnel at the same time).

Things i noticed:

Almost no AMS use at all by the IS side (yet we had plenty of kitfoxes running around with a full compliment of it.)
Plenty of IS mechs would walk out into the open, and stand there while being fired at, rather than poping out, shooting, then hiding again (this while at range)
While the Clan's stayed mostly as one 'pack' moving across the map, the IS group were usualy strung out in a line, or scatterd to all 4 corners of the map. (as someone else said, this is likely due to most of the Clan mech's having relatively the same top speed. While IS mech's are completely varied. Though, could also be that the Clan players know its better to stay together as well.)
