want to hear something crazy

I switched to using my Huntsman since the KDK-3 was so slow it defies description
so I have/had a Dakka HMB-B so when it came time to move to the CUAC20
instead of respecing I stripped the Mech and installed everything on my HMB-A which had more
cool down nodes unlocked

man do I miss my modules

The bad: The event page. I need say no more.

The good: I wasn't absolutely terrible using gauss. Still can't run them with any other weapon on the mech, but I didn't wind up hating the time I ran them.

The good/bad: For the IS side (except MGs), I had to almost peel myself out of my 'tribute to PGI's Y-decal gift' MX-90 and force myself to use other mechs. Man, what a champ for this event. From 6X any AC2 (even RAC) to 2X 20s and HGs, this mech was just perfect for it, but it did make me an obvious priority target that I didn't experience in other mechs.

Another bad I think I missed: The teams are heavy. Dear god are they heavy. I've switched to running my Hunchback only, just to lower team weight and get quicker match times. Tonight in particular its been ridiculous - a 50 tonner has been the lightest mech on the team several times.


I choose to see this as an opportunity... when I'm wanting to drop in slow assaults...:)

Well, it's been getting me in trouble. Even my slowest mechs are quickly outpacing everyone else on my team. Nothing like scouting in a 72kph heavy, or having to take a 1 minute nap at the beginning of the match because otherwise your Hunchback is going to get WAY too far ahead.

Oh right... I hate that. Seems to happen a lot to me on Grim plexus where charlie lance decides to take the scenic route...

Looking on the bright side, I took my Enforcer 4P and basically ran circles around assaults while tearing them apart with AC20 and MLs. My favorite was the guy in the Annihilator that didn't know how to turn and shoot at the same time.

Only thing I did not like was having to get 2000 damage with IS AC-20.
