They're only a clay pigeon if you can hit them.

Best mech for them maybe, best mech period?

Naw.

Dont get me wrong, I love jump jets, but they are not suited to every pilot or every combat situation.

JJ's are very "tactical," so to speak. This ain't no super mario brothers. I will say, the Jenner is very well suited to them. Or WAS, dangit please don't withdraw the founders packs early. I won't be able to get one till next saturday.

So please waste tonnage on Jump Jets and leap into the air and i'll have the extra guns from not getting jump jets waiting for you when you land to lite you up ^.^


How about I use my JJ to jump over the hills & the buildings that your already slower mech has to run around? How about I jump up from behind such a hill or building & pi$$ in your face while you struggle to bend your torso & arms up high enough to hit me? How about I $h|t on your head?

Right now you only need 1 JJ, so you don't waste much tonnage. Also, they're great for quickly turning.

Just because some people are bad with them doesn't make them useless.

Yep, tap the jets for landings and turning quickly. Don't hold em down unless you actually want to get on top of something.
Too many people do super highjumps these days for spotting or to keep torso mount weapons for hitting them for a few seconds.

Yer' a necromancer, Freeride!
Seriously, the thread's been dead for over three full months. Wow.
