Sorry bud powering down won't save you from narc and lurm fire. but.... you make a much easier target.

correct me if i'm wrong but narcs don't work on powered down targets.

it's been a REALLY LONG TIME since i've had to do something as drastic as that when faced with lurms but running into a ditch and powering down has saved me before. sure, you'll eat the missiles that are already in the air but no one's launching the next wave of rain at you unless the spotter runs up to you with a bap.

Fun fact, if you purchase all five radar derp skill nodes you can skip the "and power down" part while achieving the same effect.

I dunno about you, but powering down when receiving fire is never plan A for me. =)

oh it's definitely never plan A. maybe plan D. it's a hail mary kinda deal that if you have to use it, you're probably already out of all other options. works in a pinch though.

If you have cover you dont need to power down. If you power down in sight of the enemy team your least trouble should be lrms.

i only actually used it on polar t be honest. mainly because polar has so little cover from lurms once you're narced.

don't think its actually viable on any other map. it's risky af, but when it works you feel like a rockstar.

Can't a few mechs still outrun LRMs? I seem to recall Commandos and Jennners just going flat out and never getting hit.

I see that, and raise you a KFX-TOOLBOX, mine can actually kill something and direct friendly LRM fire...

2.5 tons of mg ammo seems... excessive, no?

I've run dry in a match before with it....

Jesus that's a compounding ammo explosion just waiting to happen - does your mech just vaporize into dust?

Shouldn't skilled up ECM be higher on that list? (Useless without the skill points atm).

I mean who needs AMS if they can't target you in the first place?

No because BAP cancels ECM, and it should be equipped on an LRM boat, and you need to invest heavily in sensors to counter LRMs. Firepower and Agility are better.

I can count on one hand the amount of times I've had an ammo explosion in three years.... TT on the other hand, if I run a WHM-6R, it usually dies to a MG ammo explosion... as do the mechs around it. Yay for large explosion rules....

Are you certain those are standard bullets and not uranium shells or something?

Polar is awesome, if you understand that it is not flat and are not in a fat slow mech....

I wish, then it'd only be 200 damage / ton vs 400 damage / ton....

BT MG ammo is the most powerful non nuclear explosive in that universe per ton....
