So I just ended a match in my Spider with 7 kills. I received the Jonny 5 achievment. I thought that the Ace came with 7.

*Do you have to have Jonny 5 1st?
*Is the kill level higher and I misunderstood?
*If I should qualify who do I contact for help?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Ace of Spades is 8 kills.

[Rock Roller]

Thanks, I thought it was 7 also.

Well that is a bummer but something I can work for. Such a fun match. I was so pumped.

Getting 7 kills with a Spider if pretty good. Which variant was it, and which weapons did you use?

Spider SDR-5K with a LPL and 2 machine guns.
556 Match Score, 7 kills, 4 kills most damage dealt, 737 total damage.

Mining Collective. Most of the fight was poke and screw with opposing lights and taking pot shots at the bigger mechs. Basically stick and move. I got the Cicada and both Firestarters on their team. If their lights would have focused me I would have been toast. They kept supporting their heavy's and let me poke them to death.

The two Firestarters came at me separately at different times but my focus on their legs killed one and chased the other off. It was down to one Firestarter a Dire and a Hellbringer on their side. Ours had me with very little remaining armor and a Catapult. The Firestarter was in almost as bad of shape as me. He kept poptarting me and took out one of my legs but lost the trade battle.

Last two kills it was only me with one leg and a Catapult left on our side. There was a Dire and Hellbringer on their side. They were in very bad shape. I had a good position on the Dire to keep poking him while he focused on the Cat; Killed him . The Hellbringer was still trying to get the Catapult who was trying to hide. I sneaked around (hobbled really) and took out his back. Everyone on coms was going nuts. I literally scared my wife in the other room when I went wild at the end. What a rush.

Frantic light mech runs are the most fun you can have in MWO.

I got my Ace of Spades using a completely oddball build I was testing on one of my KGC's. 4 machine guns, 2 LRMA-15, 2 LPL, 1 TAG. Out of 4 years or so of playing this game I finally got it about a month ago.

It sucks you didn't get it, and I am impressed you got 7 kills in a spider, but how many of those were KMDD's?

[KrocodockleTheBooBoxLoader-GetIn]

I have almost 500 hours into mwo and haven't got it... Also haven't really been trying to get it because it's not that impressive to people anymore. From what I've seen lb10 mgs and some speed are what you need to get it

My best matches ever are 1170 dmg in a griffin, 1420 dmg in a cyclops 10-Q srm build. And 2800 in fp

I finally got Ace of Spades last month in my CN9-AL with 3 LPLs. It was on HPG Manifold. It was so satisfying, and I wish I had a warhorn equipped for that match!

There is definitely a touch of luck involved, as you really need to just land the killing blows. It also helps to have a quicker mech so that you can re-position once you finish enemies off and stay in the thick of things.

Kudos on the 7 kills. Ace of spades is one of the hardest or easiest achievements to get depending on a lot of factors. Assaults general have it easiest with their high alphas. Lights have it toughest but it can be done. Check the link in my sig for how I got mine. I pretty much went rambo on any enemy mech I could. I don't have team speak or use voip due to personal reasons.The easiest way I can think of is to use voip and ask that players don't kill the enemy and help you get the ace of spades. Otherwise it really is mostly luck in quick play. In private matches I believe achievements are turned off to prevent achievement farming. Fraction play is best avoided when trying to go for Ace.

Doesn't work in Faction Play iirc

Correct.
If it did I would have the Death Star title a couple hundred times over.

Or alternately, you can get a team that works together, and just be awesome. =)
