Round 1 we have 65 Tonne EBJ vs 85 tonne Battlemaster you'd think this is lopsided. While the BLR is heavier its also shorter ranged and has super easy to focus side torsos which almost always have a juicy XL sitting inside. We'll give this wave to the IS, but you should be taking down 9 or so.
Round 2+3 we have 65 Tonne EBJ vs 70 tonne GHP/WHM. Should be an easy clan win, and is where you start building your lead The IS mechs are 1 out of ISXL, Slow, Underarmed, Shortranged or Hot. honestly it doesn't matter which downside the IS pilot picks its enough that you should be rocking these two waves unless of course you allow the game to play to minimise whichever downside the IS chose
Round 4 Leftover EBJs + 45 SHC/IFR v 40 Tonne Cicada/ 35 Tonne Oxide If you get to this wave with scores tied you've been losing slowly the entire match
Or you could stick your head in the sand, think its so unfair that IS can bring more tonnage of **** mechs than you can of good ones, and its not skill involved at all its just out-tonned that's the problem. You've already demonstrated which you are going to do. ***** and moan away. PGI have the data if they think theres an issue they'll address it (6 months from now).
Its all about the tonnage *facepalm*
