Marauder have narrow front profile, but you still need to wiggle while facetanking.
That first Highlander almost CT core you, you lucky he shutdown twice.
Also the Direwolf.

lb10x... oh cmon...

pack ac20 and 4 mplas instead and that highlander in the beginning would drop before barely scratching you.
Or if youre really that bothered about range keep llas and drop 1 ton of ammo for ac10 cause i cant imagine where you would need to fire constantly for 3,33 minutes. 800 dmg worth of ammo for single weapon.

I kinda got used to that directional arrow myself.

It aint any drawback to keep 1 on so.

Also you forgot to mention that marauder actually missed st few times because of dakka wobbly screen, this i havent seen in a while, not at this range at least.

I like STD engine lights...

in PuG queue anyways.

Especially STD engine spiders, wolfhounds, and firestarters. They're very much WHY WON'T THEY DIE mechs once you give them a STD engine...

Ok... it's not... you know optimal... for sheer pissing an enemy team off? Can't beat it.

I already owned the Collector's package, but I did go ahead and buy another 5D an 5M. Was experimenting with new ideas over the weekend (you we're there!). Lots of...mixed...results.

Oddly, some of the best results came from a 5M running an XL335, two ERPPC, and...wait for it...an LB-10X. Lolwut. It excels at close range, like having dual AC/20. And it rocks at face-tanking.

Another good one was a 3R using a STD315, two AC/2, a UAC/5, and four MedLas. It is essentially like having two UAC/5, one of which never jams. Also tank stronk.

Finally, a MAD-5D with three LPL, two SRM4, and an XL 350. Not so tank, but very flexible.

This is what I'd call peeling potatoes. Seriously don't facetank, you will die if anyone on the enemy team can actually shoot straight.

That first highlander II had an impressive amount of rear armor.

You hit him with 2 large lasers, 2 medium lasers and an LBX10 and his RCT only turned red.

That's like 38 rear armor?

MAD-3R elited 4xML, 2xLB-10-X + max cooldown mods is soo fun and very nasty when used right.

I just noticed the oversight that I didn't put that DHS in the engine, oh well.

As an HGN-IIC lover, I can tell exactly what he did.

He took the bone stock IIC-C, stripped off the Streak 6, ammo, and 1 DHS, and added a second LRM20. So he had 34 to 36 rear armor.

Not a uh... wise decision.
