That twist speed with 325 engines is pretty slow too for defending. Gotta assist it with turning your mech legs or your torsos still get fried.

One reason the king crab is much better than the atlas: It has a 25% twist quirk. No real shield arms, while it's good at avoiding crits to the ballistics.

Generally i only found the 24ASRM/AC20/STD350 Atlas to be quite a solid mech. Most of the other builds and variant are all done better in other mechs, though.

You are totally correct on that, I love my crab. I haven't played all week, figured I would take my Atlas killer out and ran into my first Atlas victim. I felt his pain as I was tearing up his armor from a distance with my 4 ultra AC/10s... If someone know the Atlas pilot show him this photo and ask him did it feel like a fair fight.. I just bought a Epson 2030 movie projector so, off to watch a movie or so.

Lets be honest, everything in this game is an atlas killer outside of short range engagements. Although even then an uac-dire has a good chance.

Funny thing is I'm running with my motherboards graphic, MAXIMUS VII FORMULA/WATCH DOGS.. Just sold my EVGA GTX 980 and going to upgrade. I'm taking advantage of atlases in my dire wolf with my motherboard graphic card, too funny. More screenshots to come.

I will start running my Atlas again, when I have this much firepower. It's time for the Atlas to get the big buff!! give it more armor or something


This video clearly shows a comparison between the dire wolf and the Atlas when it comes to firepower.

And this is why the game needs Sized hardpoints.

CTF 0XP has the buffs the atlas needs.

My team got out played nothing more and that was a real poor almost I want to uninstall score.

As for buff the AS7 hell yes im sorry anything under 50 tons should run the f&*k away not be able to tank it.... And since were at it Give the AS7-D(F) the green eye back and the rest a toggle for the red glow eyes.

It's not hard making glowing eyes not visible 10,000 miles away.

"Dam i knew that would come back on me.... That was a real poor match by me but I do agree with you postings"

Just responded to your p.m. seen above, and again I'm not saying you're a bad pilot at all. It's just very hard to engage a dire wolf in an atlas with 4 Ultra AC/10s therefore it's just easier to make a missile boat out of that atlas if it's not able to play its role as an assault mech holding up to a beating. I should be able to play tomorrow with my dire wolf and what I'm trying to do is engage the first Atlas I come across to show how weak the armor is as an assault mech. unless the Atlas can run up on me quickly I normally don't take a lot of damage, but there's not a whole lot of atlases that run quickly upon 4 Ultra AC/10s.

I think the Zeus buffs are more in line myself. Oddly, I don't find the CTF that tanky...but it's been a while since I took my Ilya out, so maybe it's gonna just feel fragile?
