Honestly, any locust pilot that knows how to run one, can murder stuff in this mech. This is proof. Might have to add one to my three.

I have not used my Lynxes in combat yet, so my opinion of them is pretty neutral.
All I know is it is, to a point, like a jumping Commando. B-)

I have tons of screenshots showing plenty 800-900+ damage games in my Adder, I guess that means Adders are the uber mech?

Someone who's familiar, engaged and doing well can rack up kills piloting a ham sandwich; one video does not a convincing argument make.

Yeah, I've posted at least two 850+ damage, 3-5 kills games in the Mist Lynx but anyone who pilots good mechs knows a bad mech when they see it.

This is a bad mech, even after being elited.

The Mist Lynx is the only thing that makes me more flaccid than Viridian Bog

[Jon Gotham]

When I'm in partylocust, I see a lynx and smile an evil smile......that should tell you much about how good the lynx is....

The JJ's on the mist lynx are insane.

https://www.dropbox....ot0007.jpg?dl=0 Oh man, look how bad the Mist Lynx is, guys... Geez-us Christ, it SOOOOO AWFUL!


And, yes. I am a bit of a A-hole.

Wow, you get that in every single drop with a mist lynx? Clan is so OP! That explains why I see SOOOOO many FS9-A's! EXAMPLE TIEM!





Please review and notice that it is not the "First Win of the Day" either. So in comparison with this evidence, FS9-A's are clearly better than the "Missed Links."

Or... it is possible that pilots can do decent in any mech given to them and occasionally get a great game... and then there's the mechs that are clearly so overpowered that in the hands of a good pilot, one doesn't have to even try.

*note. I'm an A-hole, too*

this thread means nothing what so ever.... zomg i just had a match myself with 3 kills and 582 dmg in a myst lynx must mean its an epic mech......

[DrSlamastika]

Lynxs is just funky little mech with good punch (if you use SRM builds) But not competitive with IS lights

Cons:

All weapons in arms. . . You lost both your arms, you are useless.
Many death weight: fixed active probe in head, fixed jump jets.
Not so quick like IS lights. ( maybe it will change with speed tweak )
Also quirks on it is just funny. . . .

Only little pros I can see is Clan XL "no blowing engine". But you also never have anything in your torsos, you first loose your arms, if not, you doing something wrong, so its not a big deal . . . .

I had a few nice games (more DMG then you great Zelthar wizard ) with it, and its not even masterized, just few from basic skills, and also I had a terrible games.

Did I miss something here? I do way better than the OP in my Lynx (for may be 30% of my games) but then again my Ember gets really good scores pretty reliably (70% of the time).

You might not be able to compare those two, I agree but my Commando really benefits from the 170kph and has decent fire power with the new quirks. I think this comparison backs up the argument that the Lynx is sub-optimal? How does it perform compared to a locust?

[Kinski Orlawisch]

...and? Screenshoots of even Locust doing 1000+ dmg and 5+ kills showing nothing. With a good Airsatrike I killed one time 4 enemys...so what? Even a nearly unarmed mech can reach that. Does it show the value of the mech? No.

Sorry. He is loosing his arms too quickly and he is 25 kph too slow....

locust was the first mech I got 1000 damage+ in and how I joined the 1000+ club.
The mist lynx I did ever was 511

Had a 3 kill game earlier today myself. It's still a horrid mech.

[Tastian]

I had a 5 kill match with a Mist Lynx. And a second match where i killed a Timberwolf. A third match where I had the top damage. But, alas, they are uber terrible.

[Commodore Perspicuous]

I had a no-kill match earlier. And then another one after that. And then one where I died in thirty seconds. And the funny thing is, it's still one of the best mechs in the game. Because it makes me smile and come back to play more and not get bored with trying to keep up with the Joneses.

[Apocryph0n]

Well, you can make the ML work. It dos not mean that you don't have to be masochistic to do it. If you do not like inflicting mental pain to yourself and the "Which Light" question pops up: Firestarter. There is simply no competition anymore, Heavy Lances chicken out when they see one.
