It doesn't have 5 E hardpoints, nor can it fit 10 tons of weapons without stripping significant armour.



The question is...will you be able to kill it with 200 missiles?

I'd drop a launcher for another few lasers.

****, you're right. I guess it was a 4 MPL build I was thinking about. The 32 damage made be think it had to be more but I they have already added the PL buffs.

This looks like a good light hunter too:

Hey, noone's mentioned this yet but.....

Did anyone read the patch notes? The Active Probe's counter-ecm range has been extended to 350m. That's further than the ecm range. Scouts have a new purpose in life. It's possible this might be just the guy for the job.

[TygerLily]

How about two SSRM4s, three ERML, Active Probe, max armor and 142kph Clan XL. Good luck lights!

Just think of it as the Clan's Cicada...Medium, yes. Plays like a Light? Yes.

I suspect that will be a "thing"

I don't see why a mech needs to be used in competitive play to be considered a good mech.

I had fun with it in PUG matches, don't do any sort of grouping. Managed to kill a Cataphract and assist with two Stormcrows and something else I can't remember with my lance during a Conquest match earlier. I was running as the ballistic Ice Ferret (replaced the LB-2X with an Ultra-2, and the AMS with a BAP and more armor) and had one lancemate also in an Ice Ferret, one in a Stormcrow, and one in a Raven. We managed to pretty handily beat them despite their superior weight and firepower.

It doesn't, and in fact it's highly unlikely that the OP is all that competitive no matter what he plays.....my guess is that, if by some chance he IS on a comp team, his team carries his dead weight more often than not.

Whew! I was wondering when one of these would pop up. Now my list is complete again wher EVERY SINGLE DAMN MECH has been called DOA by some self-proclaimed expert and member of some unseen elite comp epeen club.

[Syncline]

I stopped reading when OP compared a medium mech to a light mech.

Aside from the CDA, what other medium mech can go as fast as the ICR?

Well to be fair, my Atlas S is kinda DOA when looked at through this ********'s lenses............I mean no ECM, no dual AMS and it runs faster than my other Atlas's....must be DOA right?

running the 4x cMPL on my Alt "Clan Acct". Only got 1 match in (decided to fresh re-install to hopefully fix some CTD) but netted 515 damage and 3 kills before I overextended in front of an angry Jester (Oops!).

[Moonlander]

It's a really nice mech. Quick, sturdy, etc. I've had several matches where I have dished out 500-700 damage with multiple kills. I'm able to run in, drop a UAV and jet out of fire. The little bit of fire I do take isn't bad given my armor and tonnage. I feel better in this than other lights. It has enough firepower for it's speed.

2xML (or 1xMPL and 1xSPL) and 2xSRM6. Been doing work since the servers came back up. Enjoy causing a scene tho.

It has two issues: its quite big (compare it to a circada) and it has low hardpoints except the 1M in the torso. That are again bad specifics for a Shooter game.

No one really uses Spiders or Ravens much in competitive play.

OK, now you lost me.
