Interesting video, though I don't take his statement to mean anything specific. Indeed, most higher skilled players consider IS tech to be superior at present.

I had heard the opposite. My sources are metamech.com, the statements from comp team players on these forums, and the organization of player run leagues that limit Clan tech. What are your sources?

Same.

The ER large on tbolts and battlemasters outranges clan ER large and can be fired three at a time without ghost heat.
.

Sadly not entirely true, IS lasers have a hard cap at 1,500m Doesn't matter if its double your optimal or not. The lack of ghost heat is huge though.

I bought a -4N last night and commenced to tear ass with it, no skills, no mods beyond consumables.

I have your Archon's hacked nudes pinned up in my cockpit, Steiner lacky.

Apparently ez-chezy clanners don't like it so much when the enemy has a small chance.

You nailed it.

IF they either scaled the ghost heat back to 2 on IS or upgraded CLan ER large Lasers to 3 (I will leave pulse out of this one) then it would level out on its own.

The same thing happened when I bought my Timberwolf. Whoopdedoo. Good builds on good 'Mechs make you do better. Shocking. Doesn't make the STK any better than what the Clans have to offer.

I makes the warhawk cry in a corner, and soaks a silly amount of damage (like all stalkers) its pretty damn good.

Yep! That's definitely something I said! To give further context to my posts, I'm a member of the 228th's competitive team, the person who pushed thebeef to make a stalker CW video, and the one who led the(terrible) group that participated in its creation.

e: I think I'm also considered the foremost stalker expert of the 228th at this point.

Just looking at old posts of hackers and their inflated egos is ******* hilarious.

Gents, I'm working on just this problem. A friend of mine is convinced we can out-range the IS, if we try hard.

As a result, I started doing the math, and doing tests. A T-bolt with quirks and a range module can fire an IS ER large at 827-1654. This is a fair amount more then an C ER large run by itself.

EDIT: The above information is for a Tbolt 5S, below someone was kind enough to point out that the 5SS has better quirks, and the range (Just tested) is 911-1822. The result is that the direwolf below does not actually have the range advantage.

Correct on the pre-drop off range for the TDR-5SS using ERLL and range mods. Incorrect on max range, which is hard capped at 1500m.

901 on the 5ss? I was testing with a 5S, since it has LL specific quirks. Thank you, I'll examine the numbers again.

Try 911m. Same goes for the Battlemaster 1S. The IS ERLL is still capped at 1500m. Clan ERLL w/ range mod and *any* level TC out ranges the TDR-5SS past the 1500m range.

You may want to fill out a bug report if it is still capped, should be fixed in the 5th May Patch.

IS are OP compared to Clans .. end of ... IS don't want PGI to look too hard into it because the nerf hammer won't come out ! Because more people play IS and so PGI won't upset them as the player base is already getting dangerously low!

CW is doomed tbh. because of all the failed attempts at balancing the game, mixed in with a poorly conceived game type.

The game itself needs a major overhaul in the way they do things and some pretty stupid ideas about how to work balance out!

It seems that devs in general just don't understand 'balance' in the Free to play market. In a normalised game where there are no micro transactions or other extra payment options it matters not about balance so much as people will just all play whatever is the most OP option! I guess the fact that IS is the most played faction has nothing to do with balance right? Thoughtso ....
