...but the Dakka Whale earns some of the best TAG related rewards of all time, all by himself.

It is down right silly and awesome at the same time to get 30% more C-Bills by just equipping TAG.






I just bought a second TAG on my Piston the Cheater, just in case if one arm is shot off, and Imma keep farming you weak-ass Mediums and short ranged Atlases, especially since the annoying Lights are too few to be seen.

As sad as it sounds, LRM boats are my specialty (enter "lrms are for n00bs" comment here)

Though, that's a pretty badass looking build, nonetheless.

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Do multiple TAGs stack rewards? If so, TAGback is the way to go. Or was it Partyback? Either way, 7 TAGs and 2 SPLs ftw.

Sigh.
Alas, I am forever indentured to subpar cbillz as per medium mech primaries.
rip!

So TAG and LRM spam is the new meta.......yikes...

[SirLANsalot]

hmm, I find your build lacking...in UAC10's.

UAC5 Dire Wolf is just a fail mech, as those guns for clan spread too much for too little damage per a "hit".

4 UAC10 and some lasers in the arms, is truly the best way to go, breaking up the 4 in a 2&2 layout on weapon groups 1 and 2. DPS is amazing, and even if you "graze" a mech, they will be feeling the hurt as each shell is 2.5 damage.


I should try a tag on a DWF B in the CT, be the best spot to slap one.

The rewards do not stack but with two TAGs you can keep earning the sweet C-Bills even after a side torso with one TAG is blown off.

I earned all this mostly without friendly LRM support. TAG reward works on ALL types of weapons fire; in my case, my DAKKA.

Sounds intriguing. I'll try UAC10s after I farm enough C-Bills for my last Crow. CUAC10 have the lowest DPS per ton in the Ultra family, as well as lower range, lower speed, and bigger bullet drop than the CUAC5 though.

Also, DW CT is so easy to damage, your TAG will be gone in no time. Plus you need to expose you CT to actually TAG someone, while I only have to expose my arm, with much larger degree of movement.

Clearly TAG is OP! OMG, nerf..... Flamers!

[Axeface]

The thing is, once pgi drop the inevitable tag/narc cbill nerf (cuz they can't have us making cbills, that will make us not buy mec... oh wait) what will be left?
Cbill gains if you are not doing tag/narc exploitation have gone down, BE CAREFUL PGI, we need higher cbill gains - not having to resort to being a moron with tag would be really nice. This reward system hasn't made me a 'team player', it has made me a bad and reckless one. However, slightly increased squad and team cohesion is a good thing. BE CAREFUL PGI.

A couple of my tag/narc games:-
If I had had premium time and a hero - 530121 cbills.

If I had premium time and a hero - 464920 cbills.

Yo Locust, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but with mech bonus, my Dakka Whale can earn over 300K.

Which reminds me:

Where the h*ll is our Hero Locust?

PGI...get on that. Will buy MC for Hero Locust.

I'm running around in my cute fox, tagging their fat atlases and whales and narcing them like crazy, then the LRM boats decide that light that zipped by at a range of 1020M is the best target. Watch for narc and tag if you got LRMs, you help everyone.
