The Retro Arcade warhorn will forever be a reminder to me that picking Inner Sphere loyalist was a mistake. Clan mech's are just too good.

Actually I agree with the sentiment of the original poster. I got all the rewards in a very timely manner but I couldn't stop feeling that if I was playing clan it would have gone a lot faster. The damage came quickly and the wins I got mostly from solo dropping in FW, but the match score was a bit of a grind.

Its true, but teamwork is more OP than clan tech, and its fun to hear the clanner saltmine when they draw their first real opponent of the night and they know they are gunna loose.

There are plenty of strong IS loyalist groups out there and even some mercs that come over from time to time that will show you how to win at FW.

If you want TS info I have most of them, but FRR and Davion Hubs are the best place to start.

It would probably be true if it wernt for the horrific lobby / queue times in clan space when they have the mercs.

Thats allright get it out of your system.

I have a crab and 3 marauders. My main drop deck is 2 battlemasters a grasshopper and a locust. Running mediums and large pulses on all but the locust which has small pulses.

Then you must not be very good. In the many thousands of CW matches I've played, I have seen good players do consistently well with those mechs. If you aren't consistently doing well, look in the mirror. It's you.

Reread the title of your post.

I agree. The new ATMs make our potato boats FAR better than yours. Luckily, AMS is available. Use it, we get neutered.

Out of your system yet?

Ill do a lot better as a clan loyalist. I believe clan diamond shark is being made available. Sounds like a good time to switch.

How are you having trouble running pulse boats on some of the best mechs in the game? They are very heat efficient, are practically PPFLD with the low burn times, have decent ranges/damage. Its what almost everyone runs in FP unless its a hot or long range map.

I can pretty much guarantee that if you are having trouble with IS pulses, you are going to do horribly with clan lasers which have far longer burn times and run hotter. Most clan mechs also have insufficient tonnage and bad hitboxes.

Who said I was having trouble. I just said clan mech's are better.

What does the Retro Arcade Warhorn have anything to do with the mechs of a given side?

IS has 300 more tons across 12 pilots and extra durability quirks on top of that. IS players really need to stop complaining. Its getting ridiculous.

this thread symbolizes what I have been saying.

One part of the community is cannibalizing the other. Instead of contributing for fixing the issues people just will head over for easy mode farming and gloat boast on the forums, looking down on others. I have never seen a mature community aside for console peaseant community made up of 12 year olds behave like this.

Im from a study flight SIM community and maybe thats why Im not used to this low level of behaviour and aggressiveness.

Your killing all the fun and this game along with it.

Clan pilots need to stop complaining about IS pilots complaining that the clans have better mechs. Its getting ridiculous.
