I've been a fan of stalkers for a while, and today got a Misery.

Right away I am having great results!


So I'm honestly considering grabbing a second one right now on sale, so I can run 2 in CW!


It would be like

- Misery

- Misery

- Yen Lo Wang / Gray Death / ?

- Pirates Bane / ?



The Yen Lo would make a 240 ton drop, the GD would make 245, neither one actually maxed tonnage. Is that OK?

Anyone do this? Or think its an awful idea?

I've only done 4 or 5 CW drops, after many hours played.

Id go Misery, Misery, Yenlo, Pirates Bane.

The Misery's are great with AC20/Gauss & large lasers x3 (long and close range power)
Yenlo is a good, hard hitting mech but protect that arm.
The Pirates Bane becuase it has ECM which is helpful.

At 240 tons you can then play versus IS or Clanners.

I often dont run a full 250 v Clans also because i prefer to pilot mechs i like rather than pure meta & dont consider im disadvantaging the team

It's more important to drop in mechs you are comfortable with and have well-equipped than to max tonnage. 10 tons won't buy you a big advantage.

Two Miserys sounds like an awesome thing to have, if you are planning to play a lot of CW. Otherwise you could get one of the other Stalkers, they aren't bad either (even if you don't boat large lasers).

Don't even need the 4N. I swap the stalker in my lineup between a 6LL 3F and a 4ERML+3SRM6 5M, the ERLL one being for boreal usage. I bought all my stalkers a long time ago, and didn't get a 4N at the time.

Rest is a Dragon 1N (AC5 wolverine for vs IS), thunderbolt (LL or MPL variant), and a MPL Firestarter/ERLL Raven 3L.

My current one is: STK-4N, TDR-5SS, TDR-9S, RVN-2X (or 3L), but I am actually thinking of going: TDR-5SS, TDR-9S, TDR-9SE, SHD-2K for this event when we don't really need lights... any thoughts on that?

Nothing wrong with either of those dropdecks, especially against clanners

[CantHandletheTruth]

I've been running

FS9-S
DRG-1N
STK-4N
TDR-5SS

To great effect this week, its only 245 tons but I can't come up with anything better to do with 5 more tons. I could swap the Thud for a Grasshopper, but the Grasshopper is to damn tall, and doesn't have the tankability my thud takes for granted.

[CygnusX7]

LLBolt, LPLBolt, MPLBolt and SPLFS9

[Phra]

STK-4N, TDR-9SE, TDR-5SS, RVN-2X / FS9-S

or

STK-4N, 3x WVR-6K

Swap out one of the TDRs for a 6K for 240t.
