Good luck with that with that things lag armor. The only real defense against it is to pummel the thing with LRMs
when its brawling.

Yup. He is working at the next level of the course:

Courses:

1. Beginner course "It is fast? Just shoot it - don't be shy and discover your inner trigger-happiness."

2.1. Advanced beginner "Try to hit it!"
2.1.1.Failing at aiming and how to cope with it "Let's post PIRs are OP on the forum"
2.1.2.Failing advanced "Lag armour and you - how lights profit from (l)acking (a)iming (g)amer armour"

2.2. Intermediate "Soft- and hardcounters to light mechs"

2.3. Hopelessness "It can't be you, it must be OP lights."

Ghost heat on 9 or more machineguns, so the mist lynx and the shard won't be affected. It is only natural, machine guns in real life generate heat and their barrels melt down if fired continuously.

jyrox the piranah is only deadly if your alone, not being alone and having a wall to go up against will help you fight against piranah. or if you have a good loadout you can take the piranah in 1v1 just dont let it crit out your back. just my 2 cents.

also lol ghost heat for mgs tho

It must be a trend on this forum.

The only good idea to tone down the piranha without affecting all the other lights.

Don't you know? With the micro laser GH limit increase + desync, energy Piranha is all the rage now.

You mean of course the dude that got 64 damage ?

This screen does actually show how the Piranha is

Very pilot skills reliant..

You still need to block out names before the Mod's find this though

The 10 micro + 5 ERSL PIR-2 is amazing... 49 damage alpha strike is not to be trifled with, especially when it can hunt backs and shoulders really well.

i understand what your trying to do (balance lights vs piranah) but a better way to tone down the piranah would be to give it more negative quirks. the reason ghost heat wouldnt work on mgs is because mgs dont generate heat which is why i was amused by that thought, not to insult you or anything just wanted to point that out

Real Piranha pilots use HSLs instead of ERSLs, for the maximumer alpha!

Aren't piranhas a fresh water fish? How are they surviving while surrounded with all this salt? Haha
