What you did wrong.

1. Running an XL in KGC.
2. Chasing the Squirrel. Never chase after a light in anything heavier than a medium.

But i love chasing down a locust :-p in my king crab. they give me a good challenge.


yeah i could go std, but i am still working on unlocking these things , they are not even basic yet LOL.
and i need the extra tons for pow pow in order to unlock them, and later i will mess with the std eng once i figure out that machine.
still a work in progress.

While it may challenge you to fight a Light in an Assault it is not a challenge for the Light - unless he/she is a spud.

As a Light driver, your Crab is an easy target. Moreso if I can get you separated from the pack. As a Light driver, my job is to fight you on MY terms and not yours. If I can dictate how, where, and when the engagement is to take place, I will win.

You want to stop me from giggling manically while I circle-strafe you, do not get separated from others. Don't chase me. If you do, know I am leading you to your death.

Best way for you, or any pilot, to know how to beat a type of weight class is to play it.


For aspiring Light drivers there are two things you must overcome and it is not easy; one is tunnel vision. You get so focused on your target your situational awareness lapses. That leads to more death for the pilot then anything. Second is to know when to disengage.

A scrub in a er-ppc mad dog did the most damage on their team. Says it all really.

Other than a couple of SRM volleys fired out beyond max range you looked good.

Also, remember that many Light Mechs carry ECM. You may think you are chasing a squirrel, but the squirrel may be deliberately leading you to his lance mates hiding under ECM coverage. Your KGC is likely to die 1v1 against a light mech if the opponent is decent. Your KGC will certainly die in 1v4 light mechs, even if they are (like me) not very good.

Something tells me you are not really interested in the advice that you claim to want in the thread title.

True. However, ECM can be dead giveaway. If your sneaking up on a target and you have ECM, the Low Signal will give you away, IF the enemy is aware enough to notice and the ECM is not switched.

Good deal of factors to consider for the Light.

It only gives static at 90m it's a pretty short distance and you could still sneak pretty close with ecm on
