So who was there watching?

3 vs 1 for last 5-6 minutes and I killed the last one with 1 second left. Thanks for your support.

[CFC Conky]

Well done!

[Monkey Lover]

1 second lol nice work must have been a good game!

[Escef]

A match like that tends to be a poorly executed fuster cluck on the part of both teams... But dear gawds, are those fun matches.

[LordNothing]

come back when you got your ace.

no, but i did better than getting it on a server glitch. i may have been t2 at the time, i have to run nothing but meta to stay in t2 though. i play pokemechs a lot but sometimes the mechs i level turn out to be metas.

Good game, Rhialto. Nice work on pulling it out and actually fighting, and it's delightful you managed it at literally the last second. Heh, that's the sort of game somebody remembers forever.

Yeah, I generally do well when I leave my team alone and the enemy team spreads out so it's just a series of 1v1s or sometimes your game is filled with new people and you can 1v5 with impunity simply because they can't hit you.

Interesting game. Let's conjure:

Your Team:
~Lots of above-average damage players, actually everyone quite consistent, with just three players doing <100 damage.
~Zeu-6S(S) probably ballistic + PPC, dead-side protecting its LT
~MAD-3R did lots of sandblasting damage, but surprisingly did not make any kill (probably did KMDD though)
~DWF-C(S) does its magic
~BJ-1X does shocking damage when properly piloted as usual
~AWS-8V probably did missile boat + Laser damage
~3 of your buddies died early, starting a romp against your team (BLR-2C, RVN-3L, and NCT-B ).
~BLR-2C & RVN-3L probably knocked out by enemy missile boats (see below).
~NCT-B missile boat probably headhunted by enemy LCT-PB with stealth armor + ECM

Enemy Team:
Actually consists of four (4) very good players:
~MAD-5M (probably AC10 + Snub-Nose PPC)
~FNR-5B with ECM + ballistic
~BAS-A with ECM, probably ballistic + lasers
~LCT-PB with stealth+ECM for back stabbing + headhunting
Lots of Missile boats:
~MCII-4 / ARC-T probably knocked out your team's BLR-2C / RVN-3L early in the game, starting a romp against your Team
~Lots of "OK" players and "mediocre" players in terms of damage

Therefore in the end, most players in your Team did consistently lots of damage, finally overcoming your early deficit/romp, against the four good enemy players in the opposite team.

Wish I could spectate/watch this game!!

Had one of those games not too far off myself. Not 3v1 final victory, but a game where the stars just aligned and I just did spectacularly well and saved a stomp.

Piloting a Cicada, and early game was looking bad. Fell behind in kills, and was looking like a loss... so I just went in to get some Damage Done (as I am skilling a new mech). Turn a corner, see a couple mechs. Blast the first and it falls... target second see it's red shoulder and pulse it off with the next shot. Couple more shots to the other shoulder, and kill number 2. So now the game is at like 4-2. Bit of a morale boost and I push into the furball.

>so anyways I started blasting.jpg

It was all a blur I really have no memory after the first 2 kills, but ended up having 6 by the end. Couple other team mates still alive, and my warhorn wouldnt shut up.

Then somebody who was spectating mentioned how much fun it was to watch me go into that frenzy.

**** that felt so good. Man I love this game sometimes. Not a game I will ever forget.

But I do wish we had War Thunder's "save replay" function.

Hah, someone’s jealous.

Coming back from 3-1 can be tough, and it’s cool that he managed to do it with literally 1 second left on the clock (which was no exaggeration, based on the screenshot).

Granted, but no need to fart on his parade, so to speak. Ace of Spades is a big deal. So unless someone earns it with an entire enemy team full of disconnects (which doesn’t look like the case for the OP) it’s due some congrats.

Speaking of which… congrats Rhialto!

nicely done, love matches that end close like that. i think i watched one yesterday that was like that. last guy in a light managed to finish off the last 3 badly damaged enemy mechs.

for me it seems when i do really well the rest of the team drops the ball. (take for instance a game i had the day before this post. my end score was 3 kills (2 solo), 3 assists, 3 KMDD with something like 850+ damage dealt. i was running my Cyclops-11-P (4 MLs, 1 MRM-40, 1 LBX/10, 1 AMS)) the ends score was 7-12 we lost. being a middle of the road player i like to say "if i did the best on the team you know you done ****** up".

hell the last match i had (a few hours before this post) was one of those Conquest matches that ends with the enemy killing all but one of our mechs (i think they had 3 or 4 left)and we won on Points. those can be fun as well just to stick it to the other team. if i remember right they had a 4 man from the same Unit we had no obvious group. (i was mainly capping since i was in my annoyance Urbie (can't remember the model but it runs 3 L-PPC, 3 MGs, 1 AMS. moves at close to 100kph) still managed one kill. gotta love that Death By Urbie.

as for Ace of Spades, its not all that easy to get. i have been playing for 4+ YEARS and i think i have yet to get it. hell i think i have only managed 2 head shots in all that time, then again i have hand tremors so that kind of precision is nearly impossible for me.

[HauptmanT]

Yeh ace of spades is a big deal. I suppose you could sync drop with 'freinds' until you are all in one match and agree to let 2 guildies get it per game... But then you wouldnt earn it, and it would mean nothing to you.

I've got a 7 kill game back in 2019, and a 6 kill a week or so ago. And those were absolutely amazing games I remember fondly. But that 8th kill evades me as well. Someday....

Sounds more to me like you're upset that someone other than you is getting attention. It's not a rooster measuring contest, stop acting like a 4 year old.

i honestly don't care much for attention.

i mean im not one for posting my scores every time i have a good match. i didnt even do that when i got my ace (i did post my build though).
