Clan Streak Boats - Scouting Missions - Really?

While I personally think it it closly balanced at higher tier play it isn't at lower tiers. SSRM6 is really noob friendly and gives clan noobs a huge advantage over IS noobs. I don't want to see new IS players walk away in frustration because they haven't learnt to counter SSRM. I'd be all for letting IS have SSRM6.
New players could have SSRM skill wars all they liked.

LOL streak 2's are you kidding? go to the trianing ground and see how long your streak 2 ferret needs to kill a light.
IFR goes best with small lasers or srms.

2. Use weapons that punch, not ones that burn slowly. SRMs and big ACs are where it's at. I used to run a Griffin 2N, but recently I've been piloting a Shadowhawk 2D2 with an AC10 + 4xSRM4. Cooldown is just a tad over two seconds, so I'm pumping out alphas almost three times faster than a Streakcrow. Four Griffins/Shadowhawks/Hunchies will absolutely own four StreakCrows.

What ... much easier to complain on the Forums to "fix" the game instead of changing my mech.

I wonder whether Power Draw will obsolete 4SRM6 (or Clan Streak Boats)?

The funny thing is... IS light mechs getting bigger does not make it any easier for a Skillcrow pilot...

Here ... We do ... love it, rock it.
Clans or IS, I don't care. both beatable. Quad Oxide Squad even makes the hardest streaknoob salty. You however need to know where and how to engage and focus. If they can focus you QOS will fall like rain. You need cover to duck behind to make them lose locks and take them out one by one. Never engage out in the open with a long line of sight!
Double Oxide, Double Raven 3L (2 SRM6+A / 3 SPL, ECM). Works as an alternative even when the terrain offers less cover the Ravens need to stick to the Oxides to keep them all in a bubble.
I disagree with the call for 55ton Mechs to take out the enemy. they are not fast enough and don't have enough punch to break the enemy ASAP. Also try chasing the last ACH when your top speed is below 100.
On Gather Intel you drop in a pack defenders drop in pairs of two. rush the first pair of two ASAP play 4:2, take them out again 4:2. If you are too slow, they will regroup and the result will be 4:4.
Of course there are other tactics as well for Gather and protect that play out. Like running full Spiders on Gather, and evading and diverting while you gather and escape into the extraction zone. Or playing Mechs with good maneuvarability and range and you hold the streaknoobs at 400m. This one works but is very hard to keep the control of the match. as they can escape and duck behind cover and lure you in close. think river city. River City is much better for a Quad Oxide Brawl run, shoot, duck behind cover, repeat.
You got to have a team though. You need to work together. You need to focus the same target. YOU NEED TO COORDINATE!
Scouting IS against Clan, you have to expect 4 Streaknoobs. Don't go in Solo, you will most likely be rekt.
Scouting is different from Quick Play, There is no Matchmaker that tries to match Tier Levels (and fails most of the time),
You have to expect full Meta. and to beat full Meta, you either need superior tactics or at least an equal Meta Level.
You can't expect the enemy to run Ice Ferrets, or Vindicators, or Urbanmechs, just because they are fun in Quick Play, does not mean they are fun in scouting. They won't help you. so please leave them in quick play.

Great point!!!!
In the last 50 Gather Intel matches, i lost maybe one or two on IS side. We even played against Kcom - Evil - Lords and bet them without problems.
What most people dont get (about 80% just call me newb for this) is just to go for gather intel if the mode is gather intel.
How to gather intel ?
- Get 4 PiratesBane ,
- Start spreading out gathering Intel
- Hide yourselfe while the countdown is running.
- Run into the dropzone the last possible second.
Even 6 skillcrows would not have a chance. Most of the time i run solo scout matches. I tell the team to get fast ECM mechs and they just call me newb...
3 minutes later they are all dead. - but 12-16 points gatherd by a solo LCT - PB!

some people have a high success resitance, no matter what you tell, no matter how you show them, they keep being resitant towards any succesful maneuvers.
