So Does Clan Get Their Tonnage Back?

Will IS players still continue saying Clans OP while stomping Clanners?

I actually would like the IS to be dropped to 250 again. I personally did not mind the 240 for clans, buts it's the IS assualt spam that's getting to us. Although 245 would be better, since they have the locust as their lowest and we have the mist lynx, effectively giving them an extra 5 tons to throw into the first three than clans simply can never have.

Playing some of this IS business this week. Looking forward to the extra tonnage for a change.
That said had no issue playing against it. Clanners just need to understand a balanced deck.

We've tried going IS before when the tonnage levels were the same or really close and at least for us, playing IS at that time was more difficult. We are definitely having an easier time of it now but when you look at the numbers, it appears that things are pretty much a wash at the moment overall. No one is really taking any planets...some get taken here and there but for the most part, things are pretty static. This will change of course once teams start to move around for various reasons but which side starts to move the frontline will be based off of where the good teams go.

however, on the other hand, if clanners learned to spread their tonnage relatively evenly, and not bring assault mechs, i think theyd be much better off, even at 240tons.

I use MAD-IIC, 65 tonner of choice, HBK-IIC and Viper. Long range deck is something else.

How is the IS treating you, traitor?

So if tonnage is not at issue, let's set it back to even (that thing called balance). No sense giving the elites on one side or the other a tonnage advantage. Setting things at baseline allows you to more finely tune whatever other balance ideas are on the skillet.
Or just, you know, whatever. Just keep adding and changing haphazardly to the hobble.

But for shutdown in a corner of map i suggest you to take small mechs also don't ask PGI for much tonnage dropdeck

The IS baby seals have become nearly extinct.
Now the Clan Potatoes are an endangered species
Soon young padawan you will see what it TRULY MEANS to be a skittle. (endless queues)
IS are winning more mainly because the LRM60 xl atlai have gone back to t5 qp where they belong.
ps Ideal nice 1, i luld.

Never saw that in FP3... FP4.1 has really lowered the player quality a substantial amount.

Only in the delusional mind of a Clammers will IS stomp over The Clams.
So yes till proper balance has been achieved, i will continue calling out the clams out for what they are OP.

Probably. It is important to distinguish between loyalists and mercenaries though.

Let me see if I have this parsed right. 100% of us stop using LRMs, and 66% of us will have either a half-decent chance or a decent chance one-half the time, of winning? Can you quantify what a 'decent chance' entails?
That said, I do agree that there is a distressing tendency for people to use LRMs...poorly in FW.

The bad IS palyers are still bigger in numbers, but now with more active groups their impact to gimp the results has lowered to a lesser significant degree. The major unbalancing factors in FP are still: uneven noob distribution. uneven organised player distribution.
