So I was in a match today playing my 12MG Piranha. I teamed up with another 12MG Piranha and 2 Fleas. We took every kill in a little less than 2 minutes of time. So from now on, if I play my Piranha Im just gonna hang with all the other lights instead of running off solo like I normally do.

Why were you running solo? Regardless of what you're piloting, shouldn't you always be in some form a team? Unless of course, you're in a stealth mech and the other lights don't even have an ECM. Then, I understand.

I remember a few matches when I was piloting my Javelin 11F. Together with another backstabbing light mech, we'd get at least 2 kills before both teams would even start engaging completely.

Well normally Im running off to find that out of position mech and taking out their back. What I realized with that match, is I got 3 kills instead of the 1 I would normally get. Also I took way less damage because they had 3 other targets they were firing at while defending themselves.

I played an entire night (like 4 hours) piloting a PIR-2 with a buddy using his PIR-1.

I would open the attack with a laser vomit alpha opening up the rear armor on high value targets and then run past the target distracting them as my partner slipped in behind to gut them when they turned to target my mech.

It was easy...very easy. The only defense was when the enemy balled up tight and kept moving. Any straggler any obvious rear positioned mech and they were dead in under 3 seconds.

Is it another "teamplay lights OP" reference?

No, its a "I need to quit running off by myself because I do better in a light pack" reference

I tend to do better on my own, but today I was in a pack with some friends and we were coordinating back strikes. We took down four 'Mechs in two minutes on Crimson, and most of that time was the initial run to get on their arse. Took two Assaults down in 10 seconds.

Congrats, it took you 5 years to learn the most basic rule of a team game. Play as a team. Now if only the rest of the community could learn this fast we may have decent matches in 8-10 years.
