Locust and flea are faster than bigger mechs like Jenner and javelin because them are running equal in speed while being smaller.
This wouldn't matter for a vehicle with wheels but Mechs uses legs and small legs needs to take higher amount of steps.

Still. The actual reason why you'll have bad time killing a light mech is internet connection.

Without lag, shooting ac10-20 will shortly end the light mech and I do not think a gun made up by the community to be against light mechs is a good concept of a weapon who is designed around the targeting computer that it would been a lot easier if streak was like Artemis a targeting tool.

Targeting ironcross is helping even when using ac10 and ac5 because vegetation or bad sight.

All them could done is this and it be working like intended. Targeting computer working as a Targeting computer.

You don't want targeting? Remove the Targeting computer, dumb fire begone. You stick to targeting computer or you stick with the stick. You could even have it on lasers if you so wished for it.

I'm not really interested with the realistic implications. This is a game.

MWO's handling of lag is actually quite good. But there is also another factor, and that is horrible frame-rate. MWO is CPU heavy, and it's basically the "Can it Run Crysis" meme. Even I skirt around 28 to 30 FPS, I can actually do double for 60 FPS, but that puts my PC at 92C and I don't want to risk it, I already burned one brushless fan and I had to replace it.

Point being, hardware issues is not really efficient to get concerned about. MWO is ran by a skeleton-crew, and optimizing it isn't an option. While the internet problem is handled by the ISP. There seems to be nothing we can do about this.

Funnily enough, I actually suggested that some time ago; if auto-aim is a problem, why not make everything else auto aim as well? Even got TheB33f to respond to it. With mocking tone of course, they said "aiming is not that hard" IIRC.

Should solve the problem of streaks being unfair. But again, they did not like it.

What are you running? Just asking because someone just showed me his settings and now it runs much better. Sure you have to cut back on the graphics but then again. Even on the highest settings MWO looks dated so why not tune it down a bit for better performance.

I don't think there should be an autoaim in the extreme. Let there be some skill involved and as for streaks. They spread so much that you have to use a lot of them to do damage. Sure they are bad for lights but then they have their way of avoiding them too.

Personaly I think aiming should be done differently. You might move your crosshair like you do normaly but your mech needs a bit of time to find the firing solution. That isn't only to turn the torso or point your arms into the right direction but all the small calculations needed to archive the perfect firing solution. Waiting a bit increases accuracy. You can still fire whenever you want but you won't be hitting exactly the spot you wanted to hit.

Practicly that could result in still hitting the same zone either way, as they can be quite big on assaults but that is something the pilot has to decide. Take the risk of missing or be so experianced that you know that you will still hit anyway.

Heat would make things worse. Increasing the time needed to land the perfect shot. Heat would also influance your movement in slowing you down. Last thing to heat is that I would generaly make heat dissapate much slower. It should be much easier to build it up then loosing it. Except when you stand in water.

Last point on the list would be that targeting computers would work differently by highlighting zones you want to shoot at, you can select these by using the numpad to select a zone. Default would be CT.
It would also decrease the time it takes to target that zone if your crosshair is keept over that selected zone. Makeing it easier to target your selected zone but still requires you to make the decision to take the shot or not.

As I have said it could do 60 FPS, problem is that it runs hot, too hot for my cautious ***.

Eh. Not sure.

I actually also suggested component highlighting at one point too. But as it stands, with MWO ran by skeleton crew, it looks like they are dying.

counter proposal: how about we remove streaks from game and we don't have problem with them... not too bad against something or too good against something else?

No options between that 30 or 60 fps?

When you have the CPU that I found for that notebook (found two) you should be either only 3% slower or 3% faster then my CPU. At least according to the benchmark I found.

So from that point your performance should be similar to mine. The heat on the other hand...well its one of the reasons why I never concidered gameing on a laptop.
Running MWO I am around 60°C I think it was.

So the same way it worked in MechWarrior 3?
