How dare the assaults forget the most op mech of them all! The mighty SDR-5V!

Massive back destroying 12 Alpha of Death! A wooping insane 29.9 tons of terror! Does that AC 20 and ammo weight more?! Cooling ability of 83%! How come it does not over heat on terra therma or caustic valley?!

Un-killable when the side torso is blow off due to its new LFE God Mode engine! This is Sparta! Madness!

OMG! Too fast! your 100 ton mech simply can't touch this when it can move at a game breaking 137.7 kph! Is there any mech that can move so fast or faster?

Holy DPS Batman! 2.93! It fires so fast my gauss can't recharge fast enough to hit it before my Ct with it's 119 armor is gone in under 1.5 seconds!

This has been an OP Light mech parody because it's fun.

I am sure you are trying to troll the light is OP topic-ers. But that entire premise made no sense...

How can 2.93 dPS destroy 110 armor in 1.5 seconds? Like... math dictate that 2.93x1.5 <<<<<<<< 110...

Everything else I can kind of overlook because of the attempt at trolling (like pretty much 130+ being standard for functional lights) or LFE (dood, never LFE a light)

But yea... no, I don't see it. You need more thought into this.

I see it as the OP mocking the exaggerations being parroted by the "light should only be cannon fodder" dimwits and their ilk.

I've been running the 5v this past week, with 12 jump jets and full jump jet tree as god intended. It's fantastic.

[HGAK47]

Love the 5V a lot even though ive not used it much as of late.

Anyone else think it was assinine that it actually recieved NERFS (F-ing NERFS bros) when the new skill tree came out!? (Along with the one large pulse locust, I forget the variant)

Ahh il stay away for a while, thinking about it just hurts my head. "Balance overlords" - they couldnt balance a gyroscope. Couldnt balance a rolling bicycle, nor quite clearly organise a piss up in a brewery.

I think the nerfs it received before the skill tree were moronic, never mind the nerfs that came after. I left because it's clear they don't care about balancing anything, only about selling mechpacks. 12 MG PIR is A-OK, 6 MG SDR is O-SO-SPOOPY.

Rip 5V. Used to have good quirks and crazy mobility before engine desync. It could take a 285 where other spiders had 255's, plus it had higher agility quirks than the others on top of that. Now it runs the same as every other spider, only carries 2 medium pulse, and has worse weapon quirks. It used to be pretty good.

Agreed, and I think the LPL nerf killed what little variety we had left in the chassis.

[Mole]

You guys are acting like this is a failed troll attempt when you should be looking at it as successful satire.

[Nightbird]

5V just needs compact gyro, then you can zombie with 2 snub PPCs! Wait for it...

That is not what people said.. nice hyperbole though.. Lights are still deadly without machine guns.. they only boat machine guns because its super overpowered easy mode.

And you know it.

If I see a spider I get scared.

Except that the other small weapons also got nerfed because of people crying about dying to lights. There's a reason SPLas builds are so rare these days.

And yeah, bring out that AC/5 light and show us how well that works in those ballistic slots that are clearly intended to carry things other than MGs.

Lol no, I'm putting at least AC10 on my urbie. (Yes, i know Urbie's an exception)

Have you even tried Lights with MGs? It's not really that easy to pilot a piranha and just rack 1000 damage.

Lol no, It's not OP easy-mode, it's just mechs like Piranha are just powerful. If it were easy mode, why aren't other MG boats are as effective? Why Scat with 7 MGs aint that? Where the hell are the 5-MG timberwolves and Kit-FOxes? Dapperjagers?

Or is it really just powerful in the hands of the lights -- if so, then wouldn't really mean that it's more of the player's problem being unable to fend them off? Whatever happened to streaks? HGRs can really wreck an Urbie pilot's day. It's people like you why lights -- that are already hard to play, can't have anything nice.

Oh if people are playing them again and they can fly half the width of Canyon Map, I might just have to play regularly once more.

Nothing and I do mean nothing is as much fun as an Ac20 spider kill in mid flight, those legs and arms go everywhere..

One of the things I've genuinely missed in game, and by missed I mean missed and not missed so I must cry on forums about spiders !
