PGI, you should make a section on where you legs are critical, and you are supposed to jump from building to building, and show how fall damage can be detrimental to legs, and showing new players on saving jumpjet fuel
Just an Idea

It better be done with a Shadow Cat or a 12-jumpjet Spider. Everything else just feels like HoverJets...

...especially that DWF-S with 3 JJs.

Hey, don't count the Summoner out! Believe it or not you can get to the top of buildings even with him.

Myst Lynx is good too, along with Arctic Cheetah, but in all, it gives a different POV for players

Already there, more or less...

Play ONSLAUGHT, and watch as any leg-damaged mech with JJs LEGS ITSELF for you. So many times I've let this happen just for LOLs.

Okay, but seriously? Sure, JJ use and tactics and advanced topics/skills should be in the academy. Map Two, I think. See my topic concerning a three-map academy. There's apparently more than enough going on in the Academy's current map, and adding anything new with significant RAM requirements is probably not going to go over well.

Victor has JJ's too. But i forget to use them most of the time.
But when i think of them, man, what a fun it is on Frozen City to "jump" up a cliff, putting a full alpha into the back of an enemy assault waiting for you to come around a corner instead.

Yeah, some basic JJ training, like how to soften a drop, etc. would really do some good for new players i think.

Thanks for that image. Now I cannot unsee 10 Urbanmechs in a triangle formation, with a looming dragon charging at them full tilt...
