Clans won't fight with their "honor" against an actively dishonorable opponent


Depends on the Clan, and what Era.

Some Clans stubbornly stuck with Zellbrigen even when their opponents were actively and blatantly violating it, while others didn't bother with Zellbrigen even when fighting other Clans.

IS mechs being the variants without ECM.


I've been thinking about this some more, here's an IS all ECM dropdeck:
Cyclops 90t
Archer/Cataphract 70t
Griffon 55t
Cicada 40t

total: 265t/265t
leftover: 0t

You could replace the Cyclops with an Atlas (100t) if you downgrade the Cicada to a <= 30t light.
You could bring a second Cyclops instead of the heavy if you downgrade the Cicada to a <= 30t light.
You could bring a second Atlas instead of the heavy if you use Peanut Butter in place of the Cicada.
You could also go for 3x 70t heavy and a Cicada, leaving 5t unused.


A clan all ECM dropdeck could look like this:
Marauder IIC 85t
Hellbringer 65t
Shadowcat 45t
Arctic Cheetah 30t

total: 225t/240t
leftover: 15t

You could use the leftover 15t to upgrade the ACH to another SHC.
Or replace the ACH with an MLX (25t) and bring a second MAD IIC instead of the HBR.
Or go 3x HBR, SHC.



As you can trivially see, the Clan ECM deck is much more 'meta' than the IS ECM deck.

You obviously haven't done many scouting missions. IS almost always wins those.

Eh, still not a guarantee

Structure only goes so far against SRM36+A
Or Novas, which are among the best brawlers, alongside the Griffins


It's normally who has the most Potato who loses

Dropping IS solo PUG into Scout missions, 32 drops (so far, 1 day to go). 7 wins, 25 losses. Many full-pug drops against Clan 3 or 4-mans. A couple drops I had an IS 2-man with me, 1 drop I had a 3-man (although funnily enough, the 3-man was quite bad and the guy calling for them was like, "WTF are you guys doing? Get back here!").

So no, IS doesn't 'almost always win those'.
