I'm guilty of jump lurming in my Quickdraws and Catapults

I took out my Founder's Catapult last night and started jump-LURMing people like there was no tomorrow.

Good job bringing back jump sniping PGI.

Glad I'm seeing full 6+ teams doing nothing but sitting at spawn and jump sniping again.

Translates into english as follows:

I'mma leet assault LRM-80 pro, sitting 600m behind ma team and those big bad mean disbalanced jumpsniping Vindicators and PhoenixHawks wreck ma ubermech.

I honestly hate those one-trick ponies like Summoners and Night-Gyrs just hopping about.

But so what? Just ******* push man!

I was in a match with you. You died at the one minute mark doing zero damage, called us f****ts and rage quit. I did 270 dmg and 1 kill in a AC20 UM-R60L and had fun. Maybe learn some patience and stop raging.

you know... most experienced pilots consider poptarting a weakness. You'll get there someday.

You really gotta look out for those phoenix hawks and vipers though. They all know the true power of the jumpjet tree. And they know nothing is more dangerous than a poptart that pops multiple times in the same jump and then leaves atmosphere and orbit to ambush enemies fighting on a different planet lightyears away.

Jump sniping is ok! It's perfectly balanced and with the server hit registration being the best out of all the games in the world it provides zero advantage. Of course all mechs have jump jets on all variations so anyone can do it.

100 ton assaults being able to turn fast enough to shoot a fast target close to them. ABSOLUTELY BROKEN! Aiming is overpowered and pinpoint is the devil!

[Karl Streiger]

Not again the last waves of poptarting cries gave us complete useless Jets on everything but Lights and Mediums
Although for poptarting they are still OK.

So the poorest of the poor implementation of heat ramp plus almost no thrust made the 8t Jets von the Exe already dead weight.
Complete useless in combat and you overheat faster


But there are two major differences - the speed of Mechs is usually better and SRM hit detection works.

So you fear poptarters at the spawn? Why not get there?
