First, don't lose your ****. We're in battlemechs, not Gundams. These things don't just stop when you want them too.

Second, don't shoot your teammates. Ammunition is pricey and its a complete waste of your anger. Simply search for other routes or hang back and wait for an opening.

I wont lie I use Assaults as shields but I dont bite their ankles, what I give in return is covering fire though , now as for when I pilot Fatties I never have squished any twigs behind me. But if I do see someone right on my ass I shoot wildly in front and start shooting side to side as if im aiming at something (making sure not to hit my side friendlies) and i start moving backwards usually anything behind me is in front trying to see if Im hitting anything to give me leeway to move away :X (Also when I move im always checking my map for friendlies to see how close they are to my Marker if i see it on top of me before I come to a Stop I either start positioning myself where I know I have an escape route in case **** hits the fan.

Ammo is pricy? what did they put in that stupid Reload and Rearm stuff back sense i last played? if not ammo don't cost you crap and you should always have a laser or so on you any way, Blast the stupid SOB a few times and maybe he'll get the hint not to do that any more.

I was going to say, "It was a joke," but with that response I've decided to change my mind. If you happen to be on my team, I'm going to enjoy ruining your evening.

If you are on my team, I'm not gonna be rubben my mechs crotch up and down your mechs leg in the first place. So no reason to DO any of that in the first place.

On the other hand, it's a great tactic to use against the enemy. Run in with a light from behind and the enemy mech can''t back up. When it starts turning around, start alpha-ing on it and run. Hopefully, you've kept it exposed for the rest of your team to do some extra damage.

Yesterday, I ran right upto a Jagermech with my JR7-O and hugged it from the front. It's 2 long arms couldn't fire at me since I was inside their reach. I got to blow it up with continual SRM4s and all it could do was fire past me as it tried to hit. So satisfying!

When your ELO goes up it will happen more often because there is you, with really high ELO, and a bunch of lowlifes with low ELO to fill the gap to the max ELO for a team (yes, there is a max ELO). Say this value is 2000 (it's the desired value) and your ELO is 900 the rest of the 11 players has an average ELO of 100. In reality it isn't that bad but if you are really good, that's the way the matchmaker will compensate your ELO. Especially when there are not that many players with really high ELO online while you are playing. Good times.

Hahahaha, I've been there and back again with my Commandos and occasionally do it for old time's sake in one of my Locusts even now.

I think I might have been the first person to drop that piece of advice in the stupid mech tricks thread.

Ah yeah, there it is. http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__3934172
