Yup... all this proves is that you're a kill stealing whelp. Good on ya mate.

Should I post my high 900's to 1K damage matches with 3/4 kills and 3/4 assists? That shows a better contribution to the overall match. I'm not running the YLW down. Any mech that you enjoy piloting is a good mech. They are all capable. I'm simply running YOU down for thinking you did anything productive in that match.

Some of the simplest builds are the most powerful/capable. I play a 4 large laser Catapult. My average damage in that mech is probably n the 700 to 800 range.

He did 600 damage you giant nob jocky, I'd say that's a pretty good contribution to the match. It isn't his fault the rest of his team-mates were total tools and got killed.

I had a similar game where the rest of my team walked down a pair of streets in Rivercity basically single file into 3 Stalkers. I picked up 4 kills and 2 assists all near the end of the game because eventually the remaining enemies walked toward my rifles one after another and they were all heavily damaged. That doesn't mean I didn't contribute to the game, I was just the ******* clean up crew by virtue of not being stupid.

You did 613 damage, i average that a match with my srm cat, i see 1000 damage matches with 2-4 kills, you just landed the lucky kill shot on a most those kills, Lucky matches dont make a mech good

Aynone downplaying this post a YLW screen with more dmg done or ****. My dog could break 1k in a K2/A1 or 2k in a fatlas.

All flaming aside, I enjoy my CN9-YLW and my CN9-A. My slippery Wang went back to a modified stock build after I got done running Zombie Wang. I've tried Gauss and other AC builds but the scout/harrass of a fast YLW compounded with well-placed AC20 rounds is quite a bit of fun. Muromets is admittedly a more capable 'mech, but I still like playing with my Wang. Not too many builds can keep pace with a Raven and crater the cockpit in a single shot. TruePoindexter's video was pretty good, I've actually started following him on YT because he's quite a good player.

Anyway, this is what I run for mine:

The Yen-Lo-Wrong is the only mech that I truely regret purchasing.

It has a terrific paint job...

4 headshots. I suppose you could say I stole a couple, but only if you count me ripping through the centre torso from behind or taking someones legs when most of the damage on them was spread all over.
At least my team wasn't terrible like most pugs though.

Dude it's not hard to do that much damage. You just need the right build and the skills to know how to torso twist. We run cents in our clan that get 800-1200 on good games pretty regular.

[yashmack]

ive hit highs in excess of 1k on my 9D but never really broke 500 with the wang
I still like the wang though, just wish I could change the peppermint color scheme

[Jacmac]

I've killed 8 with a Cicada and 5 twice with the Ilya Muromets. A lucky game can happen any time.

[8Ball-]

Jesus, what a bunch of buzz kills and nay sayers. The guy had a nice drop. Give him a pat on the back and move along.

[Saint Scarlett Johan]

^^^^^^^^
I agree, he's happy. Pat him on the back and let him back at it.

But, this thread is full of Tommy-two-toppers. I'll just leave this here for y'all.

DISCLAIMER: Don't look if you have sand in your *******.

Its easier to break 800 in any cent than 500 in a YLW. Also screenshot or it didnt happen

[pedropars]

Thats not really a big deal,i already did over 600 damage on pretty much all mechs i ever used.

[Moonsavage]

YLW was one of the only good stock mechs - until they screwed with AC/20.
LBX-10 is better for it now.

What's the point to have 100's of SS on my computer of a cent doing 800+?

When you do it then you feel special and save it to post on the forms. When we do it, we just say GG and do it again.

[80Bit]

It's not a bad mech.

It's just not a good mech.

[Inveramsay]

613 damage in match isn't really much to brag about but congrats on seven kills in a match.

See I took the AC20 out and replaced it with a Gauss Rifle - being a very fast sniper means decent points scores and less likely to have your main weapon blown off the second an enemy gets into alpha range of you...

I mean, I actually run out of gauss rifle rounds with my YLW, something that *never* happened with my AC20

If you are gonna put a gauss in the arm, then you midaswell just run the A variant and have better hardpoints.

The only purpose to the wang is its lack of lower arm actuators.

[Wizard Steve]

All you people whining about him only doing 600 damage, I have a question:

Given that ALL THE ENEMY MECHS WERE DEAD, how much more damage would you like him to have done?
