I honestly have a bad time dealing with Piranha -- but that just as most other lights in general. Cause right now I'm at 22 to 18 FPS when playing MWO.

But I wouldn't blame it on the mech.

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.

I dont need to look at your stats, you made a post about the lest armored mech in the clan line up being overpowered. Speeks volumes...

Hell dosnt the flee after its quirks have better arnor than the PIR?

[Y E O N N E]

The Flea does have better armor, it also explodes if any one torso goes boom. The MASC Fleas don't have much extra armor, but the rest have a decent amount, though they also don't do anything particularly special in weapons loads.

That masc does help with the duck dip dive and dodge i built one that im still skilling out with 5 ersl and in quite impressed buy the death of 1000 cuts it can do.

So is the consensus the PIR has the lest armor in the game?

In my experience good flea pilots are harder to kill then piranha.

Every piranha that i have seen in QP so far has basically evaporated near instantly.

Now assassins on the other hand...just flat out OP how much damage they can take. Structure/armor quirks even though they have a slim profile, hitboxes that make it easy to spread damage, JJs AND shield arms...

[Y E O N N E]

Most Assassins I see in QP get their legs cut out from under them in a bout 5 seconds of combat.

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?

Only ECM Mechs can use Stealth Armor.... no ECM Piranha's

And only if they're IS. No IS Piranhas.

awareness in general

My x-5 with 2x ssrm 6s,bap and 4mls does fine against pirs and other light mechs. I could list a few pages of builds that slay pirs but i'm feeling lazy tonight. In short just go with the anti-light weapon of ssrm4-6s instead of lrm or mrm.

[Astrocanis]

This discussion is funny.

Question: how many other mechs do you have to "build out for" to counter? 1? 2?

Says something, but I'm not sure what.

I'm more worried about multiple assaults on my team doing double digit damage than I am an enemy light

Hgauss/ long range
Srmbrawl/long range
Lrm/ ams and or brawl
Long range/ better long range or fast braw.

The rock paper scissors mechanic is alive and well in MWO.
