I believe this was the exact moment we achieved Peak Derp.

5LRM5 Jenner.
NO backup weapons.
NO BAP, no TAG.
So he CHASES a 6SPL Arctic Cheetah...
Into a TUNNEL.
And then fires all his LRMs at 50M RANGE.

The Cheetah turns around and kills him in an instant, of course.

Sometimes, I wonder if there's a bug and when the MM extends release valves past the top of T1, it wraps around to the bottom of T5.

To that Jenner pilot.



Sincerely, everyone.

well, tier tryhard were no fun is allowed...

I run a jenner IIC with 6xLRM5 for the lulz; there are no possible backup weapons but being highly mobile with 1200+ missiles is quite entertaining.

On the other hand, I wouldn't chase a SPL cheetah, no matter which jenner I'm in...

This is why I always say that tiers have not much relevance.

I can imagine the Jenner pilot was like:

But.... he's tier 3 for sure

Tiers save us from scrubs, right?

More proof that the tiers do not really mean much.

[Wrathful Scythe]

In defence of the LRM Jenner, even I drop in that thing from time to time. And if you look at my tier, you can see that I am uber- master tier 1 god race. So I am, naturally, one the best players this game has to offer.

On another note, it's kinda ballsy to engage a cheetah in a tunnel with nothing but lrms. I respect his courage. May the lurmgods have mercy on his soul.

It is ok ... in MWO we get trickle down Derp-a-nomics. Starts with the developers and trickles all the way down to the surats.

Well I know what I'm replacing my SRM Jenner with from now on.

[Clownwarlord]

Yep sure did kill the jenner.

Great paintball photo... I saw that all the time when I was last active... the guys in colorful tourney airball field clothing wondering how the folks in camo kept coming up behind them in a forest....

I myself liked to do it carrying this...






Yes its heavy... especially when you have to carry the paint to support it along with a 118ci HPA tank...but MAN....was it fun to build and use.

ACH is easy game for a JR7-F or K, I might think twice if it was the D but that may be due to my build on the D. I have both JR7's and ACH's, I hunt ACH's by luring them, I dont hunt JR7's unless Im in a JR7

[El Bandito]

Since the Jenner had 5xLRM5, that means it was Jenner IIC. Since it was Jenner IIC, that means it had CLRMs. Since it is CLRM, it can do some damage even inside 180 meters, and has low enough arch to be dumb-fired in a tunnel. I wouldn't mind following a Cheater into the tunnel if the Cheater has cherry red CT. Or if I had Jenner IIC in the first place.

Having no CAP though, is effing dumb. Jenner-IIC can't equip TAG anyway.


I once saw a Stalker-5M with 5xLRM10 build--and nothing else. Now that is dumb, since the Stalker has plenty of spare tonnage to mount 3-4 MLs, with TAG.

When I opened the thread, I was hoping to see "Cheetah panicked and kept running away". Sadly, it ended as expected. Oh well.
I HAVE seen an ACH running away from a Chain-Firing LRM Oxide once. I think the shake was scaring him, because it sure as hell wouldn't have been doing any damage.

[roboPrancer]

What most likely happened was that he quickly switched to his Jenner right before the game started and assumed that he had srms equipped. I've done that kind of thing before, and I'm sure most people have as well.

Ha! Ha!

That reminds me of this:
