Thanks to the de sync assaults are largely helpless against lights and since theirs to HtH you
cant just punt a crotch hugging light mech. All you can do is scream for support.
Either Piranhas or MGs or both will get nerfed, we all saw this coming the moment the mech was released.

9 KDR in solo quick play? The pre-nerf Piranha couldn't touch this, could we get some nerfs here? Lights are not supposed to be good

Nightbird OP please nerf...sick of chasing his darn Kodiak around trying to scrape a thousand together.

Couple of Q's, All solo or did you run some group?


What's the build?


Still great job!

All solo QP, 6SPL/ECM, nothing special. Thanks!

[Jackal Noble]

Some players that play ECM mechs use the rest of their team as meat shields and then think they are good when they pull out above average scores and KDR.

Good job.

Some do, but it's hard to use meat shields when you only have 180m range and averaging 800 damage per game.

The TRO the Piranha-1 was described in said:

A large XL engine and powerful legs give the Piranha an astounding running speed, allowing it to close quickly with the enemy and bring its twelve heavy machine guns to bear. Such a large array of machine guns can be deadly to units twice the Piranha's size, especially if the small 'Mech can run behind the enemy. At short range, a Piranha can chew through any opponent's back armor almost instantly.

You're free to think whatever you want, but clearly even the guys writing the lore disagree with you.

So i guess the recent buffs helped ehh? I was actually playing around with the exact same build a few weeks ago, but i did not do as well.. Still i was having fun. Don't see the ach that often these days.

You don't even need to. Crotch hugging a mech to death is just trolling.
Most of the time an assault cant turn fast enough to reliably hit a light
thanks to the engine de sync. Enjoy the party while it lasts because it
wont last forever.

Wow, just wow...how about park your assault's bum next to an obstacle. Too hard for you? Maybe then you deserve to get ripped a new one.

But I was told small pulse lasers were bad and I should feel bad for using them.

Correct title should be "CSPLs are too good".

[So You Say]

I am going to try this cheeta build out. HML plus ERML build has too much facetime for my liking.

Not really, CSPLs are pretty much worthless on every other mech.

I make good use of them on my 2 ERPPC + 6 SPL Cauldron Born.

My impression is that they currently aren't much of a primary weapon unless you can megaboat them on a Nova. Otherwise they're like a secondary gun.

Man I don't think I've driven that thing since I was T4 and pulled my first Ace Of Spades.....then the cSPL nerf happened dont' think I've driven it since. Man, that was back in Feb 2017 I remember there was so much going on in the forums about how indestructible the thing was.

Did small pulse get buffed or something?(I really have no motivation to sort through patch notes)

Nope, they weren't. I found them still good on a Nova. However, on a light they still suck because they are relatively heavy, low rang (which was all before) but also have a rather low damage output and a light mech has neither the hardpoints nor the tonnage to carry a sufficient number. Imo a nerf was ok, however, they overdid it.

If they need to nerf the ACH than their going to have to nerf my Urbanmech R63. Due to its performance in the last month of tearing through mechs like they were tissue paper.

@title no...
