Hey, PGI, question:

Has anyone noticed how a certain little stubby trashcan is in almost all of the missions, regardless of level, and is in fact, destroying everything you can throw at it?

In case one wonders what I'm ranting about. Here's a small, and I mean small, hint:

1 - Try shooting its Right Arm or Torso, effective since it removes whichever Autocannon it is packing.
2 - Keep moving and use terrain to advantage.
3 - There is far worse than this being issues.

I always prioritize destruction of urbies, partisans and devistators as they will destroy components and your AI's with uncanny effectiveness. Urbies themselves are pretty fragile and weak but every now and then you get caugh off guard by one rocking an AC20bf which can really put out the hurt.

What i don't understand is the game's insistence on using a worthless mech in warzone and defense contracts. Tactically its beyond illogical over other 30 tonners like the Jav. Especially the javelin hero which is deadly as all hell. Assassinations and raids make a ton of sense urbies are designed for defensive combat and military police duty.

cheap as hell, made solely for defense, punches hard til it dies.

yeap, seems about right to me that most outposts has an urbie defending

I got silly and decided to do a mission badly under-ton'd to work on the achievement (Complete 5 missions 50 tons or more under weight). I went in with a Shadow Hawk and an Archer (I was in the SHD, the ARC was controlled by NPC AI). I turned a corner and ran into like four UM-R60L's... That hurt. A lot. The SHD lost both arms and sustained serious torso damage. By the end of the mission the only weapon system left on the SHD was the level 4 heavy rifle. Powerful gun, but the cycle time is brutal when it's your only remaining weapon and your ammo is limited.

Whats crazy is that my atlas can out rotate an urbie and circle around it almost faster than it can shoot at me.

urbies can be pretty nasty up close, so i also take them out at range whenever possible. but with how slow they are there really is no rush to take them out first. just wait till my gauss rifle frees up its schedule.
