Basically the concepts of WOT and MWO are vastly different. WOT is not broken, it's concept is just different. And makes sense for what it does. People need to stop comparing them.

For the love of God man, yes!

I do envision wily commanders may have a couple of scouts in reserve to hunt enemy scouts, think counter-snipers.

The devs have done a fabulous job on making scouts interesting. I'm hoping when the game launches we don't have everyone in Assaults and Scouts with large lasers.

as noted in dev vids a lites ground speed/rate of torso twist is vastly superier
now if i rememember corectly the lrms and ac20 are torso mounted.
meaning that as long as i can stay out of the front arc of said atles he cant shoot me with them!
no whats that leave the atles's 4 med lsrs well now e on even fighting terms.
now mind you if i stay in that 90 degree rear arc you have no shot at my lil'ole lite mech hence no dmg done by you meanwile im unloading every thing into your weakest armer locations
longer i'm in this position the faster you die!
and no amont of "i can reverse and counter rotate will help you" as my lite do's those things faster then yours!
the live or die part for us lites is getting you in that position!
this is standerd tactics for an experienced lite pilot as we tackle all mechs this way!
you in an assualt is just ezest 1 it works on!
only hope for you in this position is faster friendlys!
look at atles rear armer layout!
only like 40 piont of back armer and a jenners alpha is 36 piont how meny alphas can you take?
2-3 tops then you internal strucheres all gone and your mech is dead!
and the more time you and your lancemates spend stopping me from doin this the faster my lancemates will kill you all!
and i never scout beyound support range un less given explised orders to!
meaning if you stop to hunt me you give them freebees on you lols!
this is the life blood of a scout we live and die by it.

from the memuoirs of an old locust pilot!

seen it done. SRMs to the backside will kill even the biggist Mech

Lights been rulling the game. We all get told not to chase em, although what are the meds, heavies, assualts to do, when been destroyed in the back? Or even yet, capping at the beginning or round.

If all mechs are meant to be as viable as one another, please make their maintenance cost the same to reflect this when using similar tech levels.
