So I decided to brush off my old Timber Wolf that was stacked with 4xSSRM6 and 4xERML. My god, I can't even begin to describe how devastating this is to anything below the weight of the Timber Wolf. Those pesky Oxides, Arctic Cheetahs, Blackjacks, etc. literally get pulverized once this thing gets a lock. Averaging 2-4 kills and 500+ damage these past few games. Anyone else seeing such fun? BTW, the Timber Wolf can tank like there's no tomorrow.

You're having fun, and that's what matters



To some
Personally, I prefer Dakka, and insta-gibbing

Don't forget to equip Artemis for faster locks. Also, 4xASRM6+lasers Timbie is pretty deadly as well, not just to smaller mechs.

SSRMs can be pretty fun. I ran 4 SSRMs for a bit, when I was experimenting with x4 missile builds.

I've actually made a pretty silly build with LRM 15s and SSRMS.

So how will this be dubbed, SkillWolf? TimberSkill? Mad Streak? Posted Image

However grats that you found out how to apply the skillcrow build on the wolf Posted Image


But without joking, I prefer the 4x ASRM6 build, you can still hit lights pretty bad and can finish off the big fatties, too.

Once a dude tried to kill my cherry red CT (no armor on one arm and both ST) mauler with a SSRM Crow... He shot off the arm, one leg, one side torso and died without hitting my CT a single time.

SSRM are actually terrible against anything but lights and the lighter mediums. Simply not enough control, IMO.

Well, I prefer the 4ASRM6 + 5SPL one. Eats anything if you can get in range.

This is a very good suggestion mainly on account of the streaks suffering from not being able to be aimed.The heavyer the target is the less likely you are to make a good trade in a one on one with it.

Not salty. Just saying with aimed SRM you will fare way better at killing Heavies and Assaults, which is the job of a Mech like the TimberGod.

Oh, gawds, the old "streaks are good against lights" myth again.

Back in the beta days, before HSR, Streaks were actually good against lights. Not because there was anything crazy good about them, but simply because hitreg was a b****, especially against spindly, small, fast-moving targets.

These days, the best light killing weapons are pulse lasers and IS-AC10s and 20s. Maybe Gauss Rifles.

Streaks are great for getting damage numbers, but not for killing. Hell, on two separate occasions I've plowed a full spread of 36 Streaks from a Mad Dog into the face of a Locust, both times the Locust face-tanked them and ran. Now image how many streaks you need to pump into something bigger, hardier. Like a Cheetah, FireStarter, or Jenner. And remember how slow the recycle rate is on Streak6? It's bad.

Only time I use streaks these days is as a gimmick or when I have missiles split between arms and torsos (I play without arm lock, and sometimes using regular SRMs instead of Streaks for those purposes would require me to juggle more weapon groups than I'm comfortable with).

A Streakboat isn't that scary, but multiple boats? There are plenty of Clan units that run massed Streakboats in FW. Even assaults get instantly vaporized when 8 Streakdogs open up.

If you are good with PPC's try my Timber Wolf Metus, it's a fast effective murder machine, it's also the build that got me Hat Trick, Johnny five and Creeping Death in the same match. It's the one build that the only change I made to it, was dropping S torso pods for Delta pods when they came out.

Streaks are still very good against lights, and are still used for that purpose to this day, even at the highest level of competitive play.

The reason many teams will opt to not take them is because you're betting on the other team to bring short-range, brawler lights. Most teams prefer to take better mediums and risk having to put down a couple brawler lights at the end, rather than dedicate an entire medium and/or heavy mech for a singular purpose that's completely useless if the enemy doesn't take brawler lights.

Well, yeah, at that point you're looking at 600-800 points of damage, most of it highly accurate. At that point the low precision of the streaks is a non-issue.
