I really like this game, but right now the weapons are not balanced at all. AC and gauss cause way to many crit's there is no reason to run LRM as they are just a beacon to an easy kill. Lasers are the only weapon that work as one would expect slowly stripping away armor until that guass cat comes up an one shots your kill away. anyway I'll check back in a bit and see if it's a little more balanced.

ummm lasers can do the same as the gauss..... its just about aim and timing. if a mech has ct cored out and you alpha with 5 med or 9 smalls they will die the same as a dual gauss.

He said critting, not coring.
I noticed this as well. A gauss dont kill you because the internal is gone. I died several times with remaining internal in all zones. I just died to engine crits i guess.
And it happen not with lasers. At least i never saw it so far.

It should be possible to die due to engine critical hits before the actual internal structure in the torso is destroyed. Three engine crits and you are out, almost like baseball.

I don't understand it either, sometimes it seems like it takes just as many hits with lasers to get through someone's armor as it does to finish off their internals. Are lasers only meant for only stripping armor or something?

The problem is engines are not criting mechs are just dropping without losing the engine its a known bug I've died numerous times with cockpit intact almost all weapons intact when my repair bill plus ammo is only 50,000 something is wrong with that. I've also dropped with 80% armor left and lost weapons with full armor

Laser does do the same as gauss on non fast moving mechs faster mechs Gauss is useless due to the speed hitbox so lasers are the way to go for now

play in a couple of weeks why??/ they do nothing for months, game being in open beta is a joke , from lobby to bugs game is crap and not worth ****

Take it back to at least closed beta , and get it fixed , open beta , you guys should be ashamed of the state of this game .

That's what most closed beta players wanted. At least another 3-6 Months of closed beta to get most of the problems fixed. But Piranha decided otherwise.

Guess that's money for you.^^
