Nothing but Piranha's again ... this mech is so broken.

It is easy to kill. Learn to aim.

Or if you dont want to learn, use streaks...

Shoot. The. Legs.

Been d1cking around with my Hamatoto chi of for awhile getting some nice snub ppc shots on them piranha legs with a couple of fleas.

For real what do you want of this mech other than completely gutting them and their weapons?

If your good with gauss those are nice on piranha's and they have the projectile speed to get the hits if yea know how to lead them. A hit with that any were is going to put a hole in its armor.

Did it go away at some point...?

For me the issue with the Piranha is just the 1's ability to boat loads of MGs and crit literally everything else. All the other variants? Fine, I don't like the fact that they can bring to the field insane levels of damage but you have to get close for that.

[Jackal Noble]

with the heat changes, the laser variant is almost guaranteed to stackpole when you ST it.

There is only the one Piranha that boats what 12 machine guns? that is a real problem the rest are just mediocre to play.
But the real problem with the one Piranha is when there in groups of 2 or more like when I was playing FP yesterday they basically just appeared out of no where when radar said it was clear no mechs and standing still no targets around with seismic.

So these 2 players ether has stealth armor or they were speed Whacking the game as they took out 6 heavy mechs with almost no damage I wont give these two players names but they were reported to PGI by half of our teams players.

So if PGI fixed just the one piranha model with massive critical damage and got rid of the stealth armor for lights or made them more detectable it would be better for MWO gameplay.

And PS PGI Please fix it so players cannot Speed Whack in your game?

I recently reinstalled the game and bought a PIR-2. These things are not OP, but they are glass cannons with high risk/high reward potential. The real core issue dealing with Piranhas are their tiny hitboxes, much like any other mech in MW:O where hit registration is a big issue. When dealing with Piranhas, stick with SRMs, LBX's or stay with your team so if it decides to single you out from behind you can target it and alert your team mates.

I do think PGI needs to unnerf C-LPL's, or at least make them do high crit damage since I feel that cER-LL and cLPL's are in a very bad spot atm.

Go look at my stats, i can aim just fine. They are just broken. Dropping massive amounts of damage and it doesn't even register.

AC10
UAC10
LBX10
PPC
ERPPC
HPPC
ML
ERML
MPL

Damage registers just fine...
