Focus? Luck?
You can potentially kill every mech in a match inside 396 Damage.

Also, those are rough averages. some are more, some are less.
Might be more on damage too... 300-500?
Iunno.

I've never ever hit 400 damage. Not even on my Assault mechs.

Your FPS. When you play, press "F9" it should show you your map coordinates, and how many frames per second your machine is rendering

Framerate, how many frames render per second while you play.

Never hitting 400 implies you're probably dealing with a hardware issue somewhere.

Lemme play a game and I'll get back to you on that.

In WarThunder you grind for maybe a couple hours to get your next tank/plane. You grind for months if you want a Top tier (and get a bunch of other stuff on the way).

In MWO you grind for a month regardless of what you want.

well you can buy your first mech in 1 day, even if it's timber
it will not be easy though, will need you 70-90 games on that day (using the free premium day from the download page)
crow will need 30-40 games or so though

I see 1 kill, 2 helped-to-kill, 5 assists, and a team damage (kill?) negative.
That's probably helped lower it.

Team damage now shows on EOM screen. Not sure if they dock any cbills for it or not though...

Cool, If you are getting below 30 frames per second, you should probably lower your settings, that should help the game perform smoother for you, with less choppiness. On the other hand, the quality drops.

It should help you out a bit. After that, it's a matter of practice, and your joints handling the game maneuvers. My unit has a player who's 70+ years old, suffice to say, his reflexes are not that sharp, so he doesn't always wrack up high damage numbers, unless he's running LRMs.

Back.

I'm guessing I got an average of 35-40. (on Very High)

I got hit by a whole lot of LRM missiles while the enemy was comfortably behind a hill and under ECM coverage.
Got a few LRM hits myself and a laser hit here and there, but that was it.

I think they only lost 2 or so mechs to our 12.

What mech are you running? You out of your trials yet? Or have you not been playing long? Or was that just a really bad game?

[bad arcade kitty]

what really makes me giggle it's that the new pilots meet lord in one gamy, sjr in another and cjx in the third when they didn't even end their 25 cadet games... and all those as enemies

yes, i witnessed such a case and it was post psr

One question at a time.

1. TBR-Prime
2. Since Closed Beta
3. See 2. Although I've taken several months long breaks on occasion.
4. A very bad game. I'll play another for the sake of statistics.

Ok. It seems that this might be a problem with just optimizing your style to the mech, or the mech to your style.

Basically I am being punished for focusing on one target at a time and killing them efficiently. Sure match wasn't spectacular but only 90K? That's very disappointing.

If you're an Assault, then you get points for shielding lighter Mechs. Case in point, if I'm within a certain distance of your Assault, and you shoot and enemy, you get a "Protection" bonus for "protecting me."

That being said, I also run Assaults and don't have the same problems as you do. To me, I just see a decent match that lacks performance bonuses. I tend to have high rewards with my Assaults. Since I don't know how you play, I can't really provide any better advice.

Sorry to say it, but the problem isn't the Rewards System; it's you.

The rewards system is still **************************** though.

Even when you have excellent performance, you're getting about 350 K. That's with premium time, and a hero/pack/loyalty mech bonus. Which is a disgrace. Because the average player makes about 90K a match. If they use 2 consumables, that's only 10K a match.

Tell me, how does one get 200-400 damage and 1-3 kills?

you hold your lasers on the enemies for the whole duration of the burn
or you use dakka
or you use streaks, at the very end lurms

[Red Shrike]

Well, would you look at that, 403 damage.
It was an amusing game, I actually got to have a decent fight. The enemy decided to come out of their hidey holes and take the fight to us. The ECM coverage was frustrating. We couldn't reliably target the enemy mechs until they were standing 50 meters in front of us.

River City at night gave me an average of 35-40, even after lowering from Very High to High.

post a vid of your game if you want specific advice

Such a sad payout for so much damage.

I made more then that today dealin 450dmg, 2kills and a win....

The rewards system is so fubar its not even funny...

Well it didn't help that I basically detonated my own reactor in the midst of my enemies. A very honorable death, but not profitable.
