How Many Of Your Mechs Carry Ams?
#1
Posted 29 April 2016 - 11:16 AM
5 of them carry 2xAMS (Firestarter, Locust, Wolfhound, Jester, Black Knight)
1 of them carries 1xAMS (CTF-4X)
69 are without AMS
I have a Clan account with 46 mechs.
1 of them carries 3xAMS (Nova)
45 of them are without AMS.
I just don't find a single AMS to be worthwhile. Maybe if they were effective against SRMs, I would equip them more often.
How about you?

None maybe one or 2 assauts max...
For my part i prefer take a BAP if i have free slots & tonnage.

If PGI would give even a tiny bonus to those helping cover teammates with AMS, I'm sure people would be more apt to bring them, but I don't see it being a big thing in competitive/tier 1 play just because of how they play differently from most CW+lower tier pub matches

Ironically, there are virtually no assault mechs in the game with 2AMS. (1 Battlemaster variant, 1 Stalker variant, 1 Atlas variant). Most Clan assaults don't even have a single AMS hardpoint.

It's mostly because I'm only interested in Laser AMS, and am awaiting that to be added to the game.

The potential risk of getting stuck on polar or alpine while moving in between covers is high enough that it's work 1.5-2 tons usually.
Also my STD engine wolfhound with dual AMS which I like to run in group of 4 identical mechs to screw over streak boaters.

Except for the Cicada X5, for some reason its the only mech in MWO that does not have AMS
In lore only a handful of mechs could carry AMS, but here everyone can carry it EXCEPT the X5

I don't waste tonnage on something that is more placebo than actual aid, and only works against one weapon system that may or may not be present and you can also usually just play smart to avoid. (Polar domination vs. massed LRMs sucks)

What's funny about this comment to me, is in the ~40 mechs I play regularly, only two have ECM (the DDC and an HBR) and almost none are wearing radar deprivation anymore. I find that I can use TIG to better ascertain where to put my alpha to good effect, which is actually performing better for me overall.
