I am shocked that none of your teammates gave away your position on allchat.

After reading the responses to this thread it amazes me that some people still do not understand why powering down for the victory in conquest is different than powering down and hiding in skirmish. Either through willful ignorance or some brain defect, you are blind to the obvious differences.
I could try to explain how, in conquest you are still pursuing a win condition, while in skirmish you are non-participating and wasting the time of 23 other people, but I am afraid that is a concept is beyond your ability to grasp.
I am truly sorry that you don't understand why your location is given away in skirmish matches, but not in conquest, it must seem entirely unfair from your limited perspective.

So i think this could be the best match i can ever hope you.

9 tonnes of ammo max potential 1260 damage and i manage to squeeze out 1196.

Dual Ultra AC/20's rock!

Yeah make sure it's ultra 20's though, otherwise you have issues on space for ammo. Plus for that projectile speed and target information i use a mk1 TC also. rest just ammo. Though it can be tough as it only carries 9 tonnes of ammo for both ultra 20's

tried using 2 ultra 10's but doesn't pack enough punch to worry other assaults.

2 ultra 20's and any assault mech wants to back off from constant stream of ac/20 rounds

I'm running with this: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=193&l=15f7b8f838fb373ada855a2e1a5535572b765014
The Ultra 10s carve through assault mechs like a hot knife through butter, I don't even fear facing Dire Whales.

If you meant me? Perhaps you don't understand a stirring speech before a battle, i said "We all charge no one takes a backward step, if you retreat, I'll shoot you myself."

So maybe you should understand context a bit.

Though since I was leading the charge so idk how i would see anyone retreating as I'm too busy laying waste to everyone i can before i go down in a blaze of glory.

Tried that style of build but no Er PPC and i found it underwhelming, i had dual aultra ac/10's and other assaults had no fear of me, Now they think it's all good then bam 80 damage later there like what have i gotten myself into.

If you think that's motivational speaking than you need to spend more time around real people.

Also, just under 260 damage is "laying waste to everyone i can before i go down in a blaze of glory"?

I was streaming at the time, would you like me to highlight the match? :D

EDIT: I haven't highlighted yet, but I just reviewed the footage. You died at the 13:00 mark. That's not a charge, that's a YOLO-Rush.

You must have had smart teammates that shut up to allow you to pull that one off. The few times I've tried this I've been 'ratted' out by fools that were in a hurry.

In conquest?

really? They must have thought they were playing Skirmish.

dude delude yourself however you like, go ahead a hi jack my thread.

it would seem that's whats gonna make you feel better.

If you can't take a joke and what it was at face value then you need to remove that stick.

On that night 8/10 matches resulted in wins and good headlong rushes, you can moan and cry all you like, but many people enjoyed it and actively sort me out to team up.

All i see is you having a whinge cause you couldn't get into the mood.

some matches didn't go as well as others, when your focused fire and rolling as much damage as you can, then perhaps you will understand pure damage is not to only way to judge a pilots contribution and i have more than enough people willing to have me team with them to not give a rats arse about your moans and whinging snide little remarks.

have a nice day :)
