You are completely misunderstanding the purpose of this game.

MWO is about buying Mechs, dressing them up in a camos, changing their colors, decorating the cockpit, adding different weapons to them... and rotating them in the Mech Lab to admire how they look.

The whole 'take them onto a map and make them shoot at each' module of the game is just supplementary. You can't expect there to be accurate hitreg, balanced matchmaking, variety of game modes, international servers etc.

Now, did you know they're releasing another new Clan Mech pack AND a new IS Resistance Pack? There will be hours of fun dressing those bad boys up!

lol. Mechwarrior Online Barbie Adventures.

Blowing stuff up IS a nice bonus...

Hitregistration has been terrible for me the last few days, especially in CW. Oh my god in CW. So bad.

Hitting guys with cherry red CTs for 40 dmg. They don't twist, they don't even move, they just stare at you like 75% of CWs population does. CTs flash. Guys don't die. Dealing 0.4 damage instead of 40. Business as usual in CW.

But..

The Store works fantastically well! That is one fine piece of optimised coding.

And you can not only hang items in your cockpit, you can also stand them in there!

Come on man, don't sweat the little stuff. PGI are succeeding where it matters!

@OP: Check your ping.

Also, be sure to put all that damage into one component.

depends on mech.

try some brawlers, kill will raise dramaticly.

If you think it's underpowered, then you are doing it wrong.

Well yeah. That Mech is Stock from teh look of it. You just gave it a nice paint job.

Your aim isn't as good as you think it is.

Cuz seriously, I have a new PC, I get 40-60FPS in games now. I can track fine, my aim is mostly fine. I twist and stuff, but I have been seriously noticing how when I unload into mechs, even stripped mechs, medium mechs, rear armor, Missiles, Lasers, Gauss Rifles, it doesnt even matter. I cant kill ****. I mean, at the end of thegame, 400-600 dmg, but kills? 1....

Hell, just now on CW, I unloaded prolly 208dmg into the CT of a Cataphract who let me peg his CT with like 4 volleys of 4 LPL and he just backs up like nothing happens.

Yesterday, an Adder took like about as many CT of 4x LPL and only died after my allies shot him up some more.

An Atlas with a Cherry red CT in CW, I got him to cherry red and stripped, but then all of a sudden, I couldnt kill him, then my ally takes that kill.

I take a 4x ASRM Mad Dog against a Zeus, just chain firing like mad into him, at the end, hes barely yellow and orange and im stripped in several places.

I had 2 ML left pumping into the rear of a Stalker, it takes me like 6 volleys to strip his back armor off, I didnt think people put that much back there, as if the single volleoy of 14 wasnt enough? He just turns around and kills me.

Like last week, had my 4x LPL Warhawk again pumping into the rear and side of a Stalker who was orange and stripped, he just hides like nothing is happening.
That same game, a Orange stripped Timber takes 26 dmg to his stripped Orange CT and commences to kill me....

I mean, my mech has no issue falling apart.....like 1 or 2 volleys and im hearing stripped and critical damage in several locations....my Torsos fall apart in sseconds. Hit reg has no issue killing me. My ping is fine, below 80 most the time. I get 40-50 FPS in combat now. SO, seriously? what gives.....its absolutely destroying any enjoyment I try ot have in this game. I pump volley after volley into guys wiht stripped sections and cant even kill that. Its like I need to unload 200 dmg to actually get 4 to register.

It sounds like you're hoping to win on your own as opposed to working with your team by focusing fire. 1v1s don't work. 2v1s are pretty okay. 3v1s will have you working through mechs and getting wins.

Wins > Individual glory. The day we get everyone on page with that is the day we have smart teams not rushing after lights because it's an "easy kill" or thinking that "i should be able to take that mech out alone so I'll run off and get high damage but will end up just dying and not advancing the team's objectives..."

But yeah...kills, damage, epeen.

SRMs on the other hand just never register. I don't know why people use them. I used to use them exclusively, but 2 years ago PGI broke the code

Don't know what's wrong if you can hit with SRM's maybe you need to learn how to hit better with them. I do 600-1200 in a good match with my SRM crow. Multiple kills lot's of component destroyed's.

Now PPC's have hit reg issues. you can have a shut down mech 100m away with you not moving lay 4 into their CT and have none hit. Happens in testing grounds even.

[Weeny Machine]

(ER)PPC and hitreg...I could laugh all the time were it not that sad. Today I played my Thunderbolt...3 x 2 PPC bolts passed right through the enemy mech. It did not even move and the bolts went straight for the CT...and passed through. Too bad his lasers registered fine on my mech.

[YGSLlewLP]

As for the SRMs I can't see them not connecting properly. My CLPT-A1 with 4 ASRM 4s and 2 ASRM 6s is blasting big holes into enemy mechs and there's nothing wrong with the hit reg and every missle hits if aimed properly.
