As someone who pilots a mad dog in div 2solo i find that a 6 ac king crab is the only truly undefeatable mech i face
The only way i can defeat it is if i get to exploit series of mistakes by made by its pilot like poor movement/heat management
If piloted by a someone with skill then the kingkrab is a inpentrable fortress of hurt defeatable only by something than can match its firepower and armor
Or a er med las nova kite
Of course you could argue that the king krab can be countered but i feel that goes against the spirit of competition because everybody should be able to compete in the mech they love
Every mech should have a chance to defeat any mech in its division and currently i dont think sunspiders, thanathosses, summoners and such will be defeating ac boat crabs any time soon
Ac boating is just to easy and forgiving to play, i see crabs not even bother with movement standing still even just gunning me down as im forced to close the gap since it has range superiority
Any lighter mech carrying high firepower will be a brawler and as such ac boating is just too advantageous

I thought Bushwacker hugging will defeat it handily.
Lol yeah and as i mentioned a ER med boat nova can counter it as well but no bushwackers in div 2:p
My point was more like you either pilot the most meta assault or a hard counter against the most meta assault or its just attrition for most pilots
Ive seen cues go up to 24 ppl in solaris div 2, all "potatoes" in fun builds, good fights for me
In come the crabs/quad lbx kodiaks and boom ques dead you can say what you will but there is a problem with that

Warhammers and other can't fight with crab well too. All time after patch I see 6ac crabs, all noobs took them as it's a really overkill and there is just stupid smashing game. What the reason to do that ? It have to face balistics anigilators, not D2.... It's not a place for it.
Range and armor advantage is terrible....

Of course the AC20 crabs benefit more from this than the DPS crabs.

If Bushwhacker or Linebacker brawlers could threaten/kill them there should be a pile of things in D2 that do. It's the fast weapon boat and Clan assault division.

Currently, I am not using a King Crab in div 2, but one did beat my main mech at range. Which reminds me that KC were in Div 3 a minute ago. That was nuts, and there are still some there!

Riding KC in D2 is very nooby. I bought one to check... After arranging skills it has 200 armor on CT and 136 on each side torso...
So, after adding crab to D2 I falled down to 500th place in leaderboard because of crabs, in one evening I got back to 100th place.
Statistics shows that :
KDK-3 with 4xLBX10 - has no chance, no matter on distance
KDK-3 with 4xUAC10 - same, no matter on range
Marauder IIC - absolutely no chance
Marauder - dead till making couple shots even
Highlander - like paper
MLX - no chance
Warhawk - no chance too
Cyclops - easily smashed.
Atlas - in any kind, no chance.
Isn't that no balance condition ? Waiting to meet anigilator to check it to....
So that's why I call that nooby crabs. That is nooby to play it there, even don't need to move, like static turret, standing and firing...
