I know some people think its a useless stat, but I've been trying my best to turn my KDR green since the game started. I played phracts 1 year ago, then left the game. Came back 2 weeks ago with the timbys, and thier good results inspired me to slowly increase my KDR ratio from 0.67 to 1.0. Its a significant milestone in my MWO career, so I'm pretty happy. My next ambition is to probably learn to use gauss, and maybe PPCs, but I'm using a whale for that. Play purely PUG

My progression was TBR Prime->TBR-A ->TBR-S





Builds:

TBR Prime: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...0e9fe2991c445fb

TBR-A: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...d45254e702645cb

TBR-S: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...83c34d0a8fb49a3

By the way, if you are into stats, your next goal should be to get positive on all your mech, not only your global

My thoughts on the builds are that Mad Cats are really good with missiles. You might want to look into those more.

Well look at the win ratio on the 2 CTFs. hard to get kills if you are losing. It is a team effort by the way and the team influences your potential KDR.

I had a 0.70 when I started out, running XL Hunchbacks at the time. The game does have a learning curve.

While this is right, piloting a cataphract makes you a big part of that team (kind of carry harder, I know).

But we all started somewhere and I have enough mechs in my bays that are negative, too.

Dude, you have to grind at least one kill with it! And let the target know that he was the one and only sucker in x games you have managed to kill! (and hopefully it won't be me, now that'd be ironic.)

I had the opposite experience. I stopped playing them because I got tired of losing side torsos every single match.

[Mudhutwarrior]

Congrats, its a good day when you finally break even. Don't be disappointed by dropping back below though as you try new mechs. It will come back up as you gain experience with them.

I usually pay K/D no mind as its more important to learn the various mechs which means losing a lot.

im trying HARD. yesterday playing 15 games with UM, had around 5 chances, where i decimated 90% of mech armor, then some ******** RAVEN popsup, and hit it with small laser, and kill away.

I alrdy changed 3 times whole setup for urbie
AC20 -> LL+ER PPC -> 3ML + AC2 + MG (since yesterday this is the most stable , fun , and doing most constant damage). so its only a matter of time, i kill FIRST one.

BTW, my whole KDR started at 0.23 after a week, going up, every day... But that UM thing...

[MeiSooHaityu]

Congrats OP!

[Speedy Plysitkos]

I'm lucky enough to have all my Urbies over 1 KDR. I hate to say it, but the only ballistics I mount are MGs. I tried the whole A/C2 and 3 MPLasers thing and...blah.

I run all Urbies with an XL170.

The R63 runs 1 ERPPC, 2 SLasers, 3 MGs. (With JJs)
The R60 runs 3 LLasers (no JJs )
The R60L runs 2 ERLLasers, 4 MGs, (with JJs)

KDRs
(R63: 1.16, R60: 1.36, R60L: 1.14)

The numbers aren't setting the world on fire, but I really just wanted to stay around 1 .

The R63 has an ERPPC because the weapon is barrel shaped and a large weapon barrel (even if energy) makes me happy in an Urbie.

I use them like my Panther (stand-off fires support). Try the builds if you like, you might have better luck.

Actually the stats for Gold Clan mechs are always there. I have 3x stats for all Clan prime versions, too (normal, I and G, and I only have the I).

[Haike]

Well congrats on making it to 1.0 KDR!

ok, then no GOLD.

[Leiska]

I'm two kills off!



Funnily enough my archived stats are way better in terms of K/D, but worse in W/L, and consequently avg. XP. and c-bills:

@OP: Congratulations!

Generally, speaking, the stats are meaningless. I personally like to keep my K/D above 1.5 though simply because I feel like I'm pulling my weight with that number. Essentially, I'm destroying one and a half Mechs for every time I die. That seems like a minimum reasonable number to me based on my own capabilities.
