Hunchback SP with SRM6s, brawling with a commando. I hit him, crack him open, but his streaks mess me up and I´m close to falling apart. I can´t hit him due the lagshield, but then: He runs around a building and comes straight at me for 40m, I shoot my SRMs, they hit.

I recieve 5 (FIVE!) "Component destructions" and a kill. The effect was marvellous, limbs and parts flying everywhere...

Any time I come around a corner and there's a light that eats a full load of 12 SRM's and they go boom.

Oh, the videos above reminded me of when I was leveling other hunchback variants. Point blank face to face with an Atlas, I overheated and hit the override. Before I start coming back up the Atlas overheats too. I come back up with my crosshairs right on his head, trigger the AC20 and dead Atlas. Ahhh, that felt good, even though his friends crushed me like 30 seconds later.

Cat sitting on the high ridge of Frozen City about 600 meters away from me peppering everyone with missiles. My dual gauss rifle shot to the head finished that. I do like gauss rifles.

Used to be Swaybacks going 120kph.
Used to be Jenners.
Used to be Catapult A1's.
At the moment it's Raven 3L's.

Any person running an obviously overpowered mech and spec deserves to get smacked over and over again in game by me before it gets smacked with the nerfbat by PGI.

Nothing beats swatting a raven 3L with ac/20

[Wolf Clearwater]

Killing a Carrion Raven (3L with ECM and streak), with an ER PPC blast from my commando while he was chasing me in circles Wish I had got a screen shot.

4fps bug, standing on our base as a defensive turret expecting to die hopelessly in my Founder Hunchback on the snow map.

Raven comes round corner, I fire one AC20 round, it blows up. Haha awesome...wait, whats that loud stompy sound? Atlas comes round same corner, stands in front of me and we trade a few alphas, I hit his eye and he goes down just as my CT goes orange with no armor.

2 Kills with 4 fps without stepping off our base.

[Ivanzypher]

Piloting my Awesome 8Q. Recieve a PPC hit to my right arm. Turn to face my attacker... It's a Cicada. With a single PPC. I fire a volley of 3 PPCs....catch him right in the face. 1 shot kill. I was all like "That's how you PPC *****" Well, in my mind atleast. Didn't actually say anything.

Another one with my 8Q. First match with it. Comepletely stock. It's river city night. a half dead raven is running around harassing our team with the mightiest lag shield you ever did see. He runs straight at me, obviously thinking my PPCs wont be able to hit him, so I'm a safe escape route. Small head laser awaaaaaaaay! One pew, one kill. Hit his already damaged head.

I enjoy killing LRM boats and snipers (AC/20 cats in specific).

Mine was when a certain gausscat "challenged" me into a sniping match in forest colony at the opening stages of the match. The range, iirc, was around 1100+m. I was in my CN9-AL with an ERLL on the gun arm. He fired his first shot and nearly missed me. I then torso twisted 90 degrees and started "strafing" while returning fire. I gradually chipped his CT down to orange internals (he was standing still the entire time), while the only damage i took was a shot at the legs. He went for cover, he probably noticed he's already critical, and I moved in to finish him off. Our little duel took place on the lake side. That was the old version of forest colony (without the ship).

I got several satisfying kills.


Once i oneshotted a full health atlas with ac20 in the cockpit

An other time a commando was being annoying spotting us and running behind buildings (river city), i knew he soon would come around the corner so i shot a ac20 randomly there knowing it will probably miss and if it hit it wont kill him.. then boom hits right in his head and he insta exploades.

[Eisenhorne77]

I was the last person on our team and decided to cap the enemy base. I go over there and one of their Ravens is harrasing me. I go around the base a few time with him in my Awesome. I end up having to back myself up against a wall while he is circle straffing me. I get a few hits on him, then a damaged Dragon shows up to help. The enemy has 3 mechs left, one is capping our base so I know I am going to lose so I start firing everything. After a few more circles from the Raven I know I cant kill him so I turn hard to the rigth to wail on the Dragon. The dragons left arm is gone so I aim for the Left Torse. Out of sheer luck I fire and at the same time the Raven comes around for his next pass and BAMM, I kill both of them with one shot! All you see in chat is Nice Shot, Wow, Lucky Shot, Awesome.... My jaw hit the floor and I so wished I could make it to the last mech. I was thinking about myself being one of the mech warrios from the books, .... oh yeah, being that good!

[MuonNeutrino]

It doesn't quite equal my first story in this thread, but I did have a very satisfying kill a couple days ago.

I had taken my SRM cat out for a spin, and landed at the north base on river city night. When the match started I walked up to the edge of the base and flipped on heat vision to see that most of the enemy team was going left, so we went that way too. 5 or 6 of us were setting up behind various buildings in our half of the lower city and waiting for them. I was the farthest right, behind a building near the end of the citadel.

ECM interference pops up on my display and I start listening for the sounds of the firefight starting. Suddenly, I hear mech footsteps coming out of my right speaker, and turn that way just in time to see a raven saunter around the corner of my building. He's less than 50 meters away and moving directly towards me at maybe half throttle. I'm sure that if anyone was watching me they would have seen my eyes go wide.

BAM! 36 srms rip the infuriating little chicken limb from limb, accompanied by a blizzard of 'component destroyed' messages that I usually only see from commandos. The shattered corpse bounces once off the building and then collapses in a crumpled heap, beak skyward. One shot, one kill, maybe 45 seconds into the match, and one less stupid ******* cheesy lagraven infesting the match.

Melting an Atlas part for part on Caustic around the rim of the crater(caldera? w/e) with my LL 3F, nearly dead he takes off and I can't finish him since I can't see him anymore, but I follow him over the rim. As he comes back into LoS I take a few extra moments to steady my aim to make sure the next barrage kills the Atlas.

As I press to fire, and the beams soar out towards the nearly dead Atlas, in the left corner of my eye and tiny spider comes running at full speed and fire his jumpjets into the beams. As soon as the spider hits the beams, he evaporates and debris comes flying out the right side of the beam barrage. That fraction of a second it took the spider to roast saved the Atlas! He was finished but a moment later from one of my teammates.

Slightly annoyed that the Atlas lived, I still laughed out loud thinking about what had just happened to the poor spider.

Most memorable kill happened in a PUG Assault game on Forest Colony.

I was in my Atlas D-DC (ECM, BAP, 1 ERPPC, 1 Gauss, 1 LRM15, 2 SSRM2, and TAG).

The battle rages across the map. I and two team mates are giving long range fire from the lake, fighting off light mechs. The rest of the team is in a melee around the center of the map. Several minutes later I find I am the last mech on my team. I check and find the enemy only has one mech left too. My dead team mates tell me it is another Atlas and cheer me on.

The enemy Atlas was either a D or DC. Like myself, he was hardly scratched. He was sporting an AC/20, Medium Lasers, and SRM6s, and I caught sight of him as he rounded the broken ship about 300 meters from me.

I started throwing LRMs, Gauss, and ERPPC at him like mad while backpacking my mech to keep distance. I focused on taking out his AC/20, which was already pounding on me. By the time he got to close for my LRMS, I had the SSRMs flying at him. At about 100 meters he blasted my right torso, destroying my Gauss with a critical hit, and putting my right arm in the red. I managed to land another ERPPC blast on him before a salvo of SRM6s tore my entire right torso off. Luckily my last salvo took off his right torso as well, and exposed his core.

I still had some armor left on my core but was down to my two SSRM2s. He was still throwing SRM6s at me. I twisted back and forth like mad trying to left my left arm take the hits. Several of my team mates were still in the match, cheering me on.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity, my SSRMs finally hit home and cored the damaged Atlas. Glory!

Hunchback 4SP:

An AC/20 Cat teammate called for help because he had 2 mechs on him, 1 Cataphract and 1 Hunchie. I ran to the rescue and found them circling him. They stopped circling and both began to approach from either side. As soon as he was clear of the enemy, I fired my double SRM6 to the point where I thought the two enemies would collide. Sure enough, both enemies took the SRM6s in the torso at the same moment and died. First and only double kill I've seen in the game.

[Rokuzachi]

Nothing left on my Founders 4G except for the SLAS in my head - I took on 3 of the enemy in Caustic as the last person up in a match and managed to win, somehow lol. I think this was when netcode was at its worst, cause I was going 60kph and no one could hit me. Was a crazy intense few minutes though.

It really helped being on caustic and luring them into the cauldera - I was never going to overheat with just my small laser, but their trigger happy Awesome and his friends were constantly cooking themselves

[Operant]

I once engaged 2 Atlases with full armor (my Atlas also had full armor) in Frozen City in an 8v8 group match and won. It was 2v1, there was nobody left to come help.

[SIN Scythe]

Would have to say that my most satisfying kill was in my AC 20 Cat. Was at the end of match. I was only one left on my team, other team had one mech left, a cataphract 2x. I killed the second to last guy then turned around to see said cataphract about 700 meters in front of me charging while I charged him. I was red cored CT, missing right torso and arm and both legs cored, he was at 88% armor. We engaged at about 400 meters and each got off a shot at each other, I was able to keep my fresher torso turned to him when he shot so I took damage to crit my plate on the left torso. I hit him with an Ac20 in the CT to make his CT outer plate orange. I swung back around the other way just as he tried to start circling me and just as I came around from the swing around with torso fully twisted, I let off my volley of AC 20 direct to his head just before he lined me back up from swinging around him for his next shot, and smoked him for the final kill of the game with the head shot.

I have run nothing but the AC20 cat since
