I am very angry about the unfair Light Mech speed . A single Assault have no chance against these Mechs. That means go alone with Assault and you will be killed by a Mech witch cost lower than the half of your Mech.
This realy idiotic game mechanic kill a lot of fun in the game and a lot of tactical oportunitys in game.

I wish me a fair play , slow down the light Mech speed that they cant run faster as the turning speed of other Mech.
Or give us the oportunity to vote out light Mech from Matches.

Uh, no.

[adamts01]

So an assault wanders off alone and dies, and it's the light mech's fault? Classic, just classic.


Sorry for being mean, kind of. Learn from this. Assaults bring the pain like nothing else, but need support to do so. Stay with your team and don't bring LRMs.

It works a few ways but usually boils down to - if big mech = slow, little mech gets behind and chews away.
If big mech is a good shot = little mech gets one shot out of existence. (Talking from personal experience in something like a Locust)

Dude you dont want to deal with lights or you arent the best shot? Weapons like LB-X`s, pulse lasers, srms or mrm`s generally are more forgiving when attacking fast lights.

If you can learn to shoot well then ppc`s and gausses can annihilate lights in one or two goes. I know thats a bit black and white but try using spread damage weapons, at least you will do something to those lights, take off a leg or side torso.

Dude is right Assaults are a laughing weak.
i see no reason why anyone would wanna pilot one this day's

not assaults the most heat problems do to weapon balance they also go to slow and have less armor then most med mechs.

[Terminus C54]

I test all Weapon against Light Mechs . But all Weapons are useless when you are to slow to reach a shoting Position.
For the other Answer. That is that what i mean, it takes out a lot of tactical opportunitys when the bigger mechs are forced to stay in Groups. Many Times i was blocked from Teammates in Group and cant fight or move fast away from Enemy fire. Thats the result of the forced Group for the bigger Mechs.
And i realy think thats the Game will be better when the bigger mechs have a chance against light.

[Battlemaster56]

But seriously stop wandering off alone and stick with the team generally a medium or fast heavy, if not have weapons in your arms and sweep fire, and hide your back in a wall.

Those are the counters help your survive against lights.


Edit: Forgot streaks scare lights away, if your mech have a spare missile hp drop in a ssrm 4 or 6.

Actually it doesn't remove any tactical opportunity but rather associates a tactical risk to it. You still have the choice to go off on your own but at the risk of running into a small mech that makes your decision a bad one. So what you're really asking here isn't about "fairness" or "tactical opportunities" ... you simply want a form of "easy mode" based on the ill-conceived notion that an assault mech should - due to tonnage and C-Bill cost - get out of a combat engagement with a light mech scot free.

So both your and your team's positioning were "bad" ... which in turn leads you to believe that you should be able to run around on your own.

No, that's the result of bad positioning.

Of course you believe in the joy of you not having to fear lights while wandering around on your own. I just wonder how light mech pilots feel about getting rendered obsolete in one aspect of their already quite narrow niche that this game provides for them.

To the OP I have just one advice: know your enemy. Those dastardly Lights are a lot less terrifying once you played them and actually know their strengths and weaknesses. Then you will also know what exactly makes you in your assault vulnerable against them. Most of the time, it's your mistakes, not the Mech.

There is nothing wrong with admitting to be a beginner and having to learn a lot. But refusing to learn and starting to blame the machines... that's not the way to success.

Btw, why is it that inexperienced players like the OP seem to favour assaults so often?

Uninformed and inexperienced suggestions are bad.

As a light driver, you running off by yourself thinking your 90t is king of the battlefield is bread and butter of the light pilot.

Your soloyolo is what we look for in an easy KMDD.

I do not intend to sound arrogant but you have a skill problem if lights can win you regularly 1 vs 1 duels.

Tips:
If a light is in your back, try to put said back against a wall, then the light will be in front of you.
If there's no wall don't turn all the time to the same side, try to surprise him by changing directions.
If you find difficult to hit lights once they are in front of you lower your mouse sensibility (this is pro tip) to improve your aim substantially.

Once light is at cross hair fire at light and destroy.

Only time you should be concerned about Lights is when you have all your weapons on high mounted torsi.
