So when running Ballistic builds, do you MODERATE your ammunition?
Or will you eject and run a different ballistic build? How important is ammo MODERATION?
Imo MODERATION is not that important in FP due to the fact that you have extra mechs.

The mods will never come here to moderate this thread. Truely, you are un-modearateable.

I am speaking of ammo moderation on ballistic builds. what are you guys talking about?
why can't I get a straight answer on these forums? This is why new players have such a hard time.

I believe that ammo MODERATION is effectively an EXPLOIT as you are taking advantage of the 4 mech aspect of the mode to essentially CHEAT on having to carry an otherwise sufficient amount of ammo for a single mech. I am aware of many specific players who do this. The name and shame policy of the code of conduct prevent me from calling them out with specificity however.

This doesn't make sense. In QP you take enough ammo to help kill 12 mechs. In FP you take enough ammo to help kill 48 mechs. If anything I see people taking more ammo in FP so that they can kill more enemies with one mech.

Sure someone could take less ammo on a mech due to having other mechs to fall back on, but in this case those other mechs now need to carry harder. It's a trade off, but I don't see how it's cheating.

I, nor the mods, could have asked for a better punchline.
I think it is safe to say that this thread is safe from any accusations that anyone has violated the COC.

The birds reserve the right

to pick on cats though.

And wallabies.

They get so sad.

Trust us Mike.

They have it coming.

Cats and wallabies are

very unsavory characters.

Oh

I almost forgot.

Turtles too.

Creepy little buggers.

At one time I ran a 3 UAC-5 TW and I had to moderate my weapons fire to keep
From running out of ammo to soon

Some Mechs like the 4 LB2X Hellbringer I would not take into FW
Because of the limited ammo

Now my Jager's I also moderate my weapons fire
For example you don't use ballistics to open the gates

So you need to moderate your weapons fire but not be to afraid to shoot
Its a balancing act based on experience

I am only talking about the game so don't read anything else into my post
