looking at Smurfy's , and noticed the Kintaro does not have ballistic hard points,

so was wondering how, the KTO that is super fast and tearing up the team with a LB'x ?

SRM's don't look like that, nor hit like LBx's

maybe they were SRM's but that's not what I was damaged by according to what destroyed me

It cannot.

However, there are mechs of similar size and shape -- such as the Wolverine -- which can carry LBX's. There's also the strong likelihood that the Kintaro was supported by other players. It is not terribly uncommon for tier 3 players (which can appear in tier 5 matches at odd hours like now) to recruit any teammate into assisting him or her.

This is an LBX in use.

Also LBX.

This is a Kintaro.

This is a Wolverine (mine) firing 2 Streaks, an LBX and a machine gun or two all at once.

Screenshot by Lordred, as are the videos recording me.

Short of being able to jump, Wolverines and Kintaros have almost identical animations and after the rescale are nearly identical in size (Wolverines used to be shorter).

So to recap: Kintaro:

Wolverine:

Now it's possible that someone else was lobbing the LBX, after all IS LBX has 3x stated range in which they can still do damage. But are you sure it was a Kintaro? Kintaros can't use any ballistics. Or jump.

That could be a CN9-D.

Crazy LBX quirks and huge engine cap.

I checked, it was a KTO 18

I'll need to find someone to shoot me with SRM's , maybe it was SRM, but certainly didn't look like them, but I'm used to shooting them so seeing them from the receiving end isn't often
