Not a brag but a change in topic to get away from the current whinging on the forums.

An amusing thing happened last night. Playing Viridian Bog in my Misery (4 LPLs) when coming around the corner I spied an enemy locust emerging from the alien exoskeleton tunnel. My first shot of the night was an alpha.

Instant kill but then I noticed that there was a second kill to my name as well. Another locust. Unfortunately a friendly this time whom has just emerged from the same route...

It was certainly a What The F. moment for my team as well as the enemy until I explained the situation.

After many 1000s of games this was the first time I had killed 2 mechs in one alpha. Seen people firing through a dead mech to kill a friendly on the other side a few times though.

Anyone else have amusing situations like this?

Just the case of wrong place at the wrong time.

Cheers

Much to my shame I killed 2 friendly's with an errant Arty strike that got caught on an invisible wall.

Why can't you ever kill the enemy that easily?

Dude... That totally mighta been me. Was playing Locust for the tourney, on veridian, came running around the corner and got 1 shotted by some guy after doing 1 point of damage. Didn't see the details of the kill, as I had stood up yelling "Eff this flimsy tinfoil P.O.S. god damnit!" and immediately alt-tabbed to change the music that was playing in the backround. Can't verify it was you, but totally had the exact receiving end of that happen to me on the same map.

Not a 2fer, but I do have a very derpy FF situation...

I was on Canyon chasing down the last enemy mech, or so I though, I saw another mech on my own team head that way, the Radar was not showing the guy up as ally, so I assumed there he was and chased him down. I met the guy in the canyon and started unloading into him thinking HELL YEAH!! I got a kill!!!!! THen I sat wondering...why he wasnt firing back....but didnt stop, figured he was heavily damaged, lagging or just bad, but then I kept firing and then he dies......

LKF kills Anarcho....Friendly Fire....TK.....I was like ....well fk me sideways....

I did quickly explain that he didnt show up on Radar...Radar bug I guess was the going thing at the time....but it sucked, I thought I got a kill and it wasnt.....

I KNOW RIGHT!? Planetside 2....take your tank 50KPH right into an enemy and he somehow survives.....but OMG, barely graze an ally with the tip of your tire tread and he and everyone around him dies......

THen in MWO, unloading into an enemy, 100 dmg into a mech with 20 armor left and he doesnt die.....but just a few rounds into an ally...down they go.

While having less weight, less slots and for the most part longer range. You can't have everything. Don't turn every thread into a whine thread about poor clan mechs.

haha, how many clanners would equip is weapon if they could

mwo is such a great lore abiding game

I definitely remember the player leaving straight away (happened about 17 hours ago) so he/she did not see my apologies. Need to check my screenshots because I think I may have made a copy.

If it was you my sincerest apologies. I don't tend to have many TKs.

How many IS players would take Clan ERML & Clan XL.


But on to the OPs posts, i have killed 2 enemy mechs in one alpha, SRM6x 3 and 3 MLs but the second was a severly damaged enemy mech taking cover behind the one i was targeting.

I have even seen a post of a guy getting a kill with 1 point of damage.

Seven C-MPL will do a hair more damage over the same 0.67 seconds for half the weight and about half the critslots. I believe you can fit that on a Hellbringer.

Same thing happen early this month.
Was on Canyon Conquest mode, piloting a Zeus 6T.
Heavy fighting is going on at C5 between team's heavy lance and enemy, contesting for Sigma.

Round the middle elevation corner at Noob Peak, saw an enemy blackjack reversing into an enemy Jager, blocking his fire.
Let loose an alpha of 3x MPL, 1x LPL and 3x SRM4 onto Blackjack's ST, the BJ crumbles before the laser finish wubbing.
The poor Jager in the back caught the remainder of the wub and 12 SRMs in the ST and also exploded.
Later team mate confirm it was an AC40 Boomjag.

[Duke Nedo]

I have very very few TKs since CB, perhaps less than 10... but the other week I managed to get a double-TK with an unfortunate laser-strafe of 2 ML while trying to turn away. They must have had 1 hp left each... certainly a wtf-moment!

[Der Hesse]

My best so far was a double kill with an AC 40 Jager.
I came around a corner with full speed running right into two enemy mechs. In a refelx i pulled around my torso to shoot one of them, but in that fragment of a second i couln´t decide properly which of the two to shoot and ended up firing when my crosshair was exactly in the middle between both of them. BOOM ... two kill messages!
Seems i was so close that every arm shot one of them and both were damaged enough to go down.
