The only "problem" with the TDR-9S is that it can out-snipe the clans on Boreal. Kerensky forbid there be something that can actually beat the clan laserboats in a single gametype and a single map.

I closed to ERML range in the trial Nova a while back and it was comical to see it just fall apart.

It really is a L2P issue. The TDR-9S is extremely powerful if you try to play its game, which is a very long-range snipe-fest. Any clan 'mech above 50 tons can take it down very easily once you close to either SRM or ERML range, which is not difficult to do considering most of them move much faster.

The regular queue games where I've gotten ridiculous scores in the TDR-9S have been all because I was ignored the whole game. For some reason people freak out when they start taking PPC fire and run around like idiots, rather than realize it was just 20+10 damage. A Timberwolf can just tank that while closing in to optimal ERML range, which is what I do in my Timberwolf.

If you are spending a large amount of time sniping on Boreal at all, you are doing it ALL wrong.

You'll have to wait until I'm not typing on a toaster. Not sure if there are any on the new harddrive. If not, I'll have to make you a new one.

None uploaded either; just 1400 damage WubShee matches.

2 LPLs 6 MPLs.


I stayed true enough to the original WubShee; I just added Endo and removed a heatsink(or two?).

Give one Summoner variant the Thud 9S quirks(or close to them).

Problem solved...for me at least.

Been playing with Gman's builds on his metamechs site.
His Wubshee uses a *shudder* STD engine. 3lpl is fun though.

AWS should be the ultimate PPC/ERPPC chassis. I have only a single ERPPC mounted on my AWS-9M and that's saying alot.

This please.

Should of been this way from the start but instead lets put 3 PPC's on lighter mechs and let it outperform all other PPC mechs.

Ok nice February roadmap but.....when are they gonna fix the overquirked thunderbolt.

Is nice to have a ppc supresion fire mech but when it can do a better job boating 3 PPC/ERPPC than an Awesome then it's simply broken.

Guys you did a great job with the quirk pass but this is too much. It feels like the quirks are done like if you where thinking what you could do and never stopped to think if you should have......

Right, fix it by giving the AWS-9M the same quirks. I am good with that. I like a challenge and for stuff to work right.
