What exactly is wrong with that?

Notice how the mech jumps up in the air; it messes with aim.

Why is this in general topic? Go away with your spam. Or post it in the right section.

Doesn't it throw off the hit reg? Or am I thinking of something else with JJs?

The jump jets are necessary for turning. And the shots weren't really missing because of it. And any mech that frequently uses JJ (especially lights) knows you can aim even while thrusting easily; lasers let you compensate.

But yeah, hitreg and etc. too.

They were attempting to throw off hitreg. Watch the footage again and notice how they arent trying to turn with the rapid pulse's.

I'm confused R5D4 isn't one of the contestants so how can this be 2v2 with the best MWO players?

[1453 R]

Interesting. Heh, never seen so many deliberate cankle-shots in my life. Imagine that's by way of not dealing with the TBR's Stalkerish hitboxes?

Also have to say I'm quite curious about that configuration you were using, Heim. One of my own favorites is a Gausslaser Wolf, though mine (currently) sacrifices jump jets in order to stuff the Gauss in the RT and get an extra pair of lasers in the right arm. Do you ever find the loss of those RA lasers, and the extra mobility of the second elbow, dragging you down? I'll have to do something with my TBR-C soon anyways as that fit will no longer be valid. I'd be grateful for any tidbits you'd deign to share.

Also, the rest a'you. Settle down, eh? Is there really any good reason for all this mudslinging?

Yes. Boredom. The Forums are pretty dead tonight and I'm stuck at work.

[Krivvan]

They were practicing quite a bit for this.

Yeah the weight limit in 2v2 should be more like 130-140

I was with them when they were practicing lol. It's not some kind of secret throwing off hitreg technique.

Oh, well in that case shhhh

As Topic said "4 of the best pilots" I did not expected to see 1 legged after 1 minute. AND I did not expected to see them all taking advantage of a "game problem" such as no hit reg with continuos pulse JJ.

JJ are not used for better piloting in that video. Don't kidding me.

Actually, disregard what I said, turns out I missed/forgot some things in my year off the game lol.

Bullshet that's for maneuvering. He was walking in a straight line at one point and just kept bunny hopping. It's so the animation will glitch and cause hit registration to fail.
