Had a match wherein an MG Spider ripped apart a Huginn, Blackjack, and a DDC.

Granted the DDC was basically a stick, and the Huginn with exposed yellow internals, but the blackjack was still nicely armored.

When hitreg works, so can MG's.

Well a 4MG Urbanmech managed to rip out an exposed ERML of mine, but that's the only real encounter with MGs that I've had so far since the patch.

I need to test this...as for the last year or so I have run MGs just because they sound cool.

[Deathlike]

Not really.

The MG was buried and dead in June 2014 upon the release of the Clan Wave 1 pack.

I'm not sure if you're waiting for a revival.

didn't the clan MG give birth in this time as well? where you can have double the mg's for the same tonnage?

Kinda, but it was preemptively nerfed and currently just shares the same damage value as the IS one (for reasons, I don't understand).

Is it time to actually use my Ember?

Nered em long before Clans, Less than a Month after the Ember, nerf hammer came, and the hit reg was "fixed" thus the dmg (and attendant crit) was dropped.

I've been running MG's regardless of the nerf, since as long as I can remember..

Yeah you can keep telling me they suck, and they do, thats what makes it so much fun when I kill people with them.

It's not fun staring down a StreakCrow for 5 seconds, while he already has an orange CT, with 6 MGs just blaring the entire time....any second now...I shouldn't waste my heat....


Pew...I just don't have the time to stare things down for 10 seconds when they're already open CT. They are nearly on par with Flamers for damage...0.8 VS 0.7, that 20% nerf was just ludicrous.

[Cyborne Elemental]

I'd like to see them come up to .9 or 1.0 DPS too Mcgral, believe me.

But our cries fall on deaf ears it seems in regards to Flamers and MG's.

Lostech.

The cries of the 6MG Spider need to be heard, loud and clear.

[GreyNovember]

Loaded up my Huginn with MGs now, just to see for myself.

Something is DEFINITELY up here. I chewed through 4 enemy mechs VERY quickly the minute I had exposed internals on them

Trying the Ember next. I urge everyone else to try it.

[Spheroid]

Shooting out the rear CT of an Atlas in testing grounds took me about 12 seconds with my Arrow. What is the normal TTK?

Do not believe testing grounds, things are sandboxed there.

Since we have HSR changes on this patch, anything can happen.

[GreyNovember]

Ember feels much more vicious as well now.

This very well could be a mix of bad players and good team, but I still feel there's something to this.

[Cyborne Elemental]

did anyone check if the crit% got ninja'd?

[Mcgral18]

Same RoF, same damage, same crit modifiers.



I still laugh at the -1.0 duration.

I was in that fight!

Was it on the new river city assault mode?

I was spectating the spider, and I noticed the DDC was at red internals (so that was probably it)
Huggin he did a nice job aiming for the legs
The Blackjack had red armor on one of his sides and an XL engine?

Granted, I think the spider's ER large did the majority of the work on that BJ (and the fact the BJ only had 2 mediums and 2 PPCs, so the spider was like glue)

Edit: That spider had also DCed at the beginning of the match, so when the spider ripped apart those three mechs, said spider was completely fresh.
