They won within 2 minutes.
12 lights all jump-jetted over the gates, had a mad rush to the base, and while we got 2 of them, they capped our base almost instantly.
*Sigh....* And yes... I'm sure B33f was making this face the whole time...

One Base stand and 12 dead lights will end that crap real fast. Lets see him post that video.

I've only played 2 matches so far, true, but both had an aspect of lights rushing and it didn't work as well as one might expect. Turrets mostly hit hard, dropships do as well and once your ECM is neutered you simply don't have the punch to carry you all the way.
What worked quite well was a light lance with JJs and LR sniping weapons. Slowly chipping away the enemy armor, acting as a suppression/area denial force.
Second noticeable light deployment was a lance with ECM and many SRMs hitting the front lines when half of our team was still on their way to where the fight was happening. Boy, was that fun to watch...
Surpsiringly I find quite many roles for lights in CW and I appreciate it. They are far from OP though.

so how to prepae for the hitreg if you are playing from europe with 120ms? when 4 people due to hitreg need 12s + to tkae out a single lgiht then 12 lights with ecm have enough time to shred the objective.

Proof that it can be thwarted with proper play!

In the B33F's video it takes them 15 seconds to down the cannon (from the second the first person shoots it to the instant it explodes.

It's a solid tactic though and in some ways about the only way the attackers have of winning against anything like a solid defense.
