Those ewoks in the new forest colony map are sure sneaky!

That's why I use 5 armor on the backs of my mechs.

That's an awful lot of rear armour.

Where do you get rear armor at? Is it a special MC only thing?

[-VooDoo-]

You have to buy special mech packs n such. Those come with rear armor I hear.

[DjPush]

I actually inverted my armor. My Atlas has 92 rear armor an 28 in the front. I spend a lot of time running from the enemy.

[Scandinavian Jawbreaker]

I was running 28 back armor and got one shot by a Dire Wolf

I think it's alright to go under 5 armor on a light mech, mainly because their total armor pool is smaller to begin with. Also more agility to help keep people away from your butt...

If ttk wasn't under 2 seconds we wouldn't all be running almost nothing on our backs

Actually, the main reason for frontloaded armor is because getting attacked from behind is vastly less common than being attacked from the front. Why put armor in a place that rarely gets hit?

I think I missed the point of this thread. Was it supposed to be funny? is there a joke in there somewhere. I feel like the like the OP tried really hard to make a funny, but just pooped instead.

2 seconds is rather a long time to die, mechwarrior. In my day, we lasted half seconds and WE LIKED IT!

I run 1 point of front armor and reverse into battle.

I actually once heard about a TT exploit like that...Load up a mech with its entire arsenal being rear-mounted, and then put all of its armor loaded to the back...then walk backwards into the fight lol.

It worked because rear-facing weapons had a lower BattleValue than frontal weapons...
