Another dead whale. In the canyon.

Literally sniped him apart with a 2erll Adder. He was far away from his team thinking he could snipe. He was just too slow to ridgehump. Adder on the other hand...is only good at ridgehump.

I believe you have forgotten Mr. Splat-Adder... He is decent as well...

So there I was, piloting my Mist Lynx, in glorious shades of jade green, arms tattered and destroyed, riding atop a King Crab. I only wish I had a screen shot

[Tim East]

So, now that we have crabs to go with our whales, should we make seafood soup?

[Porcorosso101]

Bluefalcon13 was that you last night? I dsarmed a Mistie and he kept running/jumping around, until he decided to jump on top of my allies kingcrab as all he could do was spot....

My radar said it was next to me until I looked up and saw it perched on that KC. I gave him a 5 sec salute and then shot him off with my locust PB. Such a great ending!

[Bluefalcon13]

That was me

Once I perched on your bUddy I was like "YEAH!", then remembered I should screenshot it and you killed me

[Porcorosso101]

Ah damn, sorry about the early death! i thought the 5 secs was long enough for you to pose...

Also the ending of that battle was pretty odd. Another ally Mistie and myself was looking for your last buddy. I found the TBW and my ally decided to give a huge jump and broke his legs landing..i think he wanted to ram that TBW.

That TBW was half glitched in a building, where i shot: it was hitting something else.
My last remaining KB had only LRMs left, as i recall he didnt do squat in that last brawl with you guys....

[TripleEhBeef]

I killed a King Crab with a 2LRM 5 COM-3A joke build.

Some of them are getting a little too overconfident with XL builds. He had an open ST.

Yar, got me a whale in my Pirate's Bane on Mining Collective. Then, I followed an enemy Timberwolf around shooting it in the back until the rest of my team was dead and then the enemy team caught up to me and killed me. . .I really must need to study the rear hitboxes on timbers cuz I unloaded a ton of machine guns and small lasers into him.

They twist fast enough that they kind of spread damage even when all they're doing is shooting your friends. It's like the catapult's back panel, but even worse.

Hmm...so legging the twolf might be a good idea? I am a lousy pug so I get to figure these things out on my own.

It's a great idea. The T-Wolf tends to be very nimble, which makes it very good at spreading damage and dodging incoming fire. Take a leg off, and everyone, and their mom, will hit it's CT.

I leg everything. Period.

/edit: Unless it's already legged. But sometimes even then. I used to go for STs a lot to try and pop XLs, but with the advent of clans that proved...untenable.

I have considered this as a tactic, especially with locusts. . . it simplifies the thinking process from which part is most damaged and is it beneficial to shoot it (ie. don't shoot left arms on a Centurion even if they are damaged) to which leg has the most damage.

Edit: I think I have an unconscious habit of hitting rear st's that throws me off against clans when I am in a tight situation and need to shoot and get away before I can think/get a target lock (or I think too slow and need to be quicker).

Bagged not one but two whales last night in my locust 1e. The latter one helping to save my unit compadre by legging the whale as he shut down.

[3xnihilo]

First Direwhale kill in the Cicada 3m. On Mining Collective. It was poke and shoot; poke and shoot; poke and shoot, up and over one of the ramps. Finally, cored him through the front CT with erllas and mlas.

So, who's going to be the first to slay a Whale with an Urbie?
