Was mastering Shadow Hawks and wasn't paying really close attention when I went to buy my 2nd (or 3rd) variant from the store. Accidentally ended up buying a variant I already owned. Didn't realize it until I went to load out the mech and realized "Hey, I already have this mech!" DOH!!!

[CimaGarahau]

Too much ammo types, always put the wrong ones in. Standart SRM ammo instead streak ammo etc.

I remember before we hand the handy flashy "You're building a stupid mech" warning, I took out an LRM boat with 6 tons of ammo. Unfortunately that ammo was ALL SRM AMMO. My one medium laser didn't seem to intimidate anyone.

[CimaGarahau]

Well, half ton ammo is awesome. I'm really glad they made it possible but you really lose the overview quickly in your general ammo loadout.

[Blood Rose]

Many times I have pushed to far to early and lost my Mech/taken enough damage to be rendered out of the fight.

Mind you, not as stupid as what I did in MW2 once......

Cleaning up coffee over this. Yep been there done that. Also sent many a flight of lrms out only to realize oops I have streaks as I watch 4 or 5 flights self destruct no were near that assault 600m out. Much cussing was heard...

I may or may not have lined up my sights on a target and then repeatedly "pulled the trigger" before realizing I had streaks and not srms and needed a lock first. "Why won't you fire!!!!!"

Is this where we are supposed to ask "how stupid were you in MW2?"

[William Slayer]

-Firing Medium lasers at a target 600 meters away... (Great job giving away your position William!!)

-Looking around to see where the Auto Cannon shells that are nailing me are coming from rather than hauling $$! for the nearest cover instantly... (You could substitute LRMs/Large Lasers/etc...)

-Following that darn Light mech trying to nail him as he keeps just ahead of you for WAY too long during the battle... (Don't chase the Cookie / Squirrel!!)

[Moonlander]

I told a one of the "lessser" variants of a mech I was leveling before I had it full basics... I thought I finished it but I was clicking the wrong mech when checking.. Icing on the cake, I left 3 modules in it when I sold it, only of them being 6mil originally. No wonder I got so many cbills for it.

[Punk Oblivion]

I have been working on eliteing Banshees the last week. The first two went smooth, but this third one has been a pain.

I like direct fire builds, but I kept dieing so fast in the 3S. Thought maybe there was a bug with the CT and STs. Then I realized I never redistributed/added armor from the stock.

I have been running around with less frontal armor on an assault than I have on my Jagers X.X

Me too! I think the only reason I haven't done that, is that I don't have a Jester or Cat!

[Vandul]

Sometimes Ill goon a couple of members of my unit by firing lrms at them point blank. Well, at the last second in a drop prep, I switched from my CAT-C1 to my CAT-A1 which was chock full of SRM tubes.

He wasnt amused when I popped open the doors and smoked his rear armor with several SRM's.

Am I the only one that trolls this thread to see if any of my shenanigans make it up?

[loopala]

messed up and linked my srms with my lrms. and was wondering how i got down to 25% srm ammo warring so fast...

[3xnihilo]

I lean back and forth in real life trying to get better peripheral vision out of my mech's cockpit. Doesn't work.

Today, I died early in a match with my tdk. I get back to the mech lab and see my commando 2d sitting there and think, "I haven't run him in awhile." So I drop into a match and realize I had stripped all the srms off the mech To try an experimental build on another mech. So, I got to play a whole round with 1 ml! We won but it wasn't the brightest point in my mech piloting career.

That build is great compared to mine one time: Loading Screen, Network Canyon, all systems nominal, press "w", go down step, "warning critical damage" .... mmmm maybe I didn't press the strip modules button last night? Nope I striped the armor!!...

Because locusts just weren't challenging enough

[3xnihilo]

Totally just overheated myself to death trying to kill the afk Mist Lynx at the end of the match on terra therma. (Whoever commented "wow, he was so quick on the draw I didn't even see him move!" ... Good one lol)
