Next time you try telling people that they're wrong at least attempt to "argue" sonething that they have actually said / written. Otherwiseyou make yourself look just as stupid as you did here.

It's not that boating is weak in TT, it's that not boating is weak in MWO.
Both parts of that comment have zero connection to what I wrote: I neither claimed that boating in TT is weak, nor did I comment on "not boating in mwo being weak". What I wrote in no uncertain terms: Boating is strong in both cases (and in pretty much all other games that allow it) and thus boating is no particular problem of this game ... which kind of was the claim behind the post that I commented on.

In MWO, boating allows you to aim in exactly the same way with all your weapon systems.
Again something I didn't actually claim otherwise ... although I still maintain the point that pin point accuracy is not that pin point with machine guns due to the incolved spread mechanics (which are affecting clan mgs more than IS ones).

If you have several diverse weapon systems, you have to alter your trajectory calculations, hold your target for missiles, etc etc, basically alter your play in a way that TT mechs simply do not have to do.
Which is a nice and dandy observation ... but still totally unrelated to what I wrote and where you try to say that I'm wrong.

A tabletop mech can utilize several different weapon systems as efficiently as it can utilize one boated weapon system (not talking about range, obviously so don't start attacking that strawman).
Since you're the one who started strawmanning things here, I suggest that you keep your reminders to yourself.
And as far as utilzing different weapon systems in TT is concerned: I didn't claim otherwise. But I did say that boating 3ML is better than having 1LL just as boating 6SL on a fast mech is better than those 3ML

An MWO player cannot do this.
But not necessarily due to the reasons you're thinking of and definitely not because of anything that I claimed ... or rather didn't claum.

That's why people boat in MWO: because it's easier.
It's just as easy as in any other game that allows boating and provides an identical benefit ...
