It's amazing, if you actually get close to the enemy, you don't need the locks to be held for long, or you can hold them yourself!

Shh though, it's a secret.

It's difficult to explain in words, but if you know general concepts like positioning, spreading damage, and shooting the enemy, anything is possible.

Na, man. Na. Don't you know that any mech that takes any LRMs can't take even 1 point of damage before succumbing to a catastrophic chain reaction of explosions that will turn it into a smoldering crater? I mean... that must be the only logical reason why they're usually hiding in the back, behind cover, hoping for the scant handout lock ons the team provides. Right?

Speaking of, you and that Boar's Head danced so pretty. I must apologize for cutting in. I'm sure I could arrange another dance for you two if you really wanted.... Posted Image

You're tier 1, but I could kick your butt.

You're right though. I spent too much time in CW and not pugging. Tier 3 is really easy.


Send me a friends request and we can take this into a private lobby, we can have an Archer fight if you would like.

I couldn't so much in my archers that had energy hardpoints, but the 5W with that 5 LRM5 and 4 SRM4 build is what I've been running too and it's a pretty mean setup. I do pretty well in it pretty consistently. I don't think the Archer is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's certainly not a tier 1 mech, but it's nowhere near useless either.
