Polar Highlands ... so much long range stuff flying around ... what now?

So I dusted off my old Thunderbold TDR-9S slapped 2 ER PPCs on it and tried to make something happen. The high hard points are perfect for peeking above the snowdrifts. And you do not run out of ammo in longer lasting games.

What are you playing on polar highlands at the moment? Any PPC players around?

I rolled around my anti-missile KFX-C for a couple days, immediately after Polar Highlands came out. Every second game or so was there, and I've never felt so useful.

Now, I'm not totally convinced that the existence of Polar Highlands requires any special approach. Or maybe this depends on your Tier. My clanner alt was at Tier 4 at the time (now 3), and the games were quite missile heavy. But my IS main is at Tier 2, and LRM's still don't seem to be a problem. Not so many people run them, and even if they do, Radar Deprivation is still quite effective at Polar Highlands. There're plenty of little trenches and depressions which are sufficient to break LOS.

I'll admit that an organized team with 1-2 NARC lights and plenty of LRM's could possibly be effective on that one map, due to the lack of tall cover, but I don't run into this.
