Two questions.

What does any of this have to do with comp?

I can give you an answer to the first question...while the first three challenges on the event can only be achieved in Comp queue, the other nine don't require using it and can be fulfilled in Solaris, Quick Play or Faction Play. And in message 50 of this thread Deadweight18 posted that 100 components and 3000 damage is apparently a problem (its also got the 5 solo kills requirement). Now he could have been trying to be sarcastic after all those pages about racist koalas... but a quick glance to his long term QP results showed that no he likely wasn't....and that really was going to be a hard challenge for him to complete.

Thus I suggested a mech build that seven months of play experience with on Tier 1 accounts (and he being a Tier 2 is likely seeing most of the same players) has shown to be excellent for farming damage and component destruction, and that isn't using a chassis that is pay walled behind dollars or MC to do it with if he didn't already own that mech (unlike the quad LB10 Sleipnir for example). And so far with only three or four days of event time finished and combined of all the accounts I'm playing in it, I've past 340 components destroyed and fifty thousand damage and about 80 solo kills. and in every account I've used that warhammer IIC-A build to do the assaults portion of the challenges as well as accumulate components destroyed

The damage and solo kills tend to follow along with all the components coming off of mechs in every match and PGI should have set the goals for the criteria for those much higher but historically every event has some requirement that someone is going to complain about being nigh impossible to achieve. .

Have you seen all the attempted justification so far?

A wall of text was a sure thing.

Happily explain.

First and foremost - you're wrong. Lets just get that out the way first.

You are matching T1 all the way down to T5, sitting in T3. So you are, without question, getting into matches where there is just T5s/T4s.

The Cadet tag, as we all know and have proven to you many times - You can have a -C- tag and be in Tier 3 very easily. After 4 matches, you can make it. So a Cadet tag is in no way representative of anything really.

Getting said T5s and T4s in your matches as a user with average skill (your 220AvgMS is about average), puts you at an insanely massive advantage over users with 100AvgMS. Given these T4s/T5s are the lowest of the low in terms of skill because to stay in T4/T5 you have to be so mindbogglingly bad at the game to stay there...

Not everyone makes it into Tier 1. The vast majority will with brute force of 1,000s of games, I agree there.
However there is a HOTAS weilding warriors of the community that never will make it past T4.



Unless you go through each screenshot - with all players listed and do proper investigation - then your hidden screens are most likely T4/T5 filled games based on your usual performance. Either that or you're super cherry picking from a pool of 500 matches which is nothing special. Do that one in every 10 games and then you've got a leg to stand on.

For that reason Is my alt rank 600 and my main is 715 on Jarl's, playing in T5-T4 with T1 experience is OP (even with free mechs)

A streakboat assault is not a good damage farm and anyone reasonably competent is going to punish you for having to stare at them that long to get a lock.

It is bad advice.

It's shooting down UAVs that always stops me. Whenever I get one dialed in, someone else beats me to it.

Ironically something else streaks are great for, except for the occassional PGI glitch where the missiles race around the UAV in an orbit until their fuel runs out never hitting it, or a nearby enemy AMS shoots them down while flying up towards it, a single streak 6 launch can kill a UAV. You can also place an artillery strike onto an enemy UAV. At least ohhhh 20% of the time one of the shells will hit the UAV killing it while also landing shells underneath it, likely onto the poor sucker who put the thing into the air.

More bad advice.

The easiest thing to shoot uavs with are arm mounted PPCs, followed by lasers. But TBH, you shouldn't bring weapons specifically for shooting UAVs. Just flick on heat vision and scan the sky, if you're getting lurmed and don't see where you're being spotted get into cover and look or ask on comms if anyone sees a UAV.

Streaks only do one thing well; delete light mechs and some mediums. They are TERRIBLE at anything else due to the amount of face time from having to wait for a lock.

My problem isn't not being able to spot the UAV, or have a weapon that can hit them. It's never getting there first. Someone else always gets the kill before I get a shot off.

[Prototelis]

Streaks aren't going to help you shoot them any faster.
