MWO mechs don't turn THIS quickly.

That's not turning 180 though, it's the "double-tap" dash. When double-tap left or right, you like jump-jet sideways some distance, but if you double tap back, you do this instant 180 turn.

Normal turning is slower.

At least that's how it was back when i played it.

The faster you moved the mouse, the slower it turned. Really turned me off about the control setup in that game. That said, you had to track targets that were leagues more maneuverable than mechs, across x, y, and z. You could manage it with mouse look. Quad mechs would probably need a faster than normal turning speed than bipeds, but that is a simple baseline mobility variable.

I was already expecting quads would have better turning and mobility bases than bipeds in MWO, regardless. And that includes having to aim. They're closer to tank destroyers than tanks, at least the earlier quads without turret mounts.

And tank destroyers are AWESOME.

Hetzers are the coolest.

Hetzers are also a Battletech tank.

Nice, cheap, wheeled AC/20s capable of one-shot-crippling or killing most stuff under 50 tons.

I know. I know.

They're also wheeled. I prefer them tracked.

It's funny how humans work:

One guy says "I want to swim in a pool on the moon."
Another guy says "That would cost an INSANE amount of money for a questionable use."
And somehow, it is assumed that both sides are equally valid. Out of some conflict-avoiding social principle.
Sorry, but they are not.

All your capslocked "DIFFERENT" and whatnot "arguments" are null and void compared to the technical effort they would require. It's 100% wasted energy. I don't understand how someone can not understand that.

You wrote in another thread "but I can dream". That you can. But please don't write as if that was any reasonable demand to have. It is not.


This reply gave me a pause.

Are you seriously implying that getting quads is same as "I want to swim in a pool on the moon."?

Like seriously?


.....


....Well I guess it is, according to PGI's standard of "reasonable demand" that is.
