Keep it as an AoE arty run every X minutes, but don't make it a MOAB


20 damage shells, 50 of them, whichever area, whichever duration
Lots of damage, still potential death, but not instant MOAB fusterduck

Dropping in attack, with 12', with Long tom, versus only pugs defending ( and pugs who arent aware there is long tom agaisnt them also noobs pugs .. ) is ...fun?

This post is in the wrong forum ... you should move it to http://mwomercs.com/...are-killing-it/

and give the OP the answer to his question....

So, I can only think of two scenarios where keeping it in the game might be ok.

First, if it were used as some sort of catch up mechanic. Only kicking in when one team is a a sever kill disadvantage, and stops firing once the kill count has been evened up some. This way, the only time a team would face Long Tom is when they have a big lead.

Second, if it continues to work as it does now, but with a much longer warning period including an automatic ping on the minimap. The idea here would be that it would be easy to avoid so the real damage it does is forcing the team out of position.

Otherwise, it needs to go. It has a very negative impact on FP right now, and small tweaks aren't going to fix that.

Long Tom has been a success in its own way. Look at how efficiently made people leave CW/FP/whatever.

The fact that is still there after months is even more telling than the LT failure in itself.

Typical from PGI. They did create the concept of failure inception.

Failure into the failure.
Going beyond the originale failure.
Failure is nothing without failure. PGI

It targets the largest group of enemies at timer end and drops there.
Easily manipulated to drop on the opponent when it's targeting your team.
But it drops quite too often. PGI is looking at a nerf.

The scouting mission effect long Tom controller,
There are if I remember correct 7 points of total control
-3 enemy controls Long Tom
-2 enemy has radar sweeps
-1 enemy see current mechs model #
0 no body gets anything
1 your team can see enemy mechs model
2 your team has radar sweeps
3 your team controls Long Tom

A win in scout mode move the number higher for your team and lower for the enemy team. Does effect match's in progress.

In before it's censored by way of being moved to a place nobody reads or notices except the choir you'd be preaching to. You might be surprised how easy it is to silence dissent, protests or concern by moving them off the senate floor and locking everyone trying to be heard into a room nobody can hear them from.

Oh, you say I censor everything based on this by moving to the correct Sub-forum?

Touche, maybe I should just merge them all too, huh?

I'm somewhat surprised at how few people the LT took out in that video.

Normally against an un-aware pug it will wipe out at least 4 mechs every time it launches.
