I did the same thing with a trial Awesome once, except I got 8 kills. Just sayin'...

That other team was the noobiest of noobs

It's a bad mech.

[Heart of Storm]

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

Hi guys, Vechs here.

I wrote the guide on the Zombie Wang, and have played the Yen Lo Wang extensively.

It's a fine mech, but I actually got a refund for it, and got my MC back.

The reason for this is not because it was bad, but because it's hard point layout leads to a pitiful variety of viable builds for the machine. You can do well in it, but you can only do a few builds.

I would recommend the Muromets to anyone thinking of buying the YLW. The potential viable builds for the Muromets is much greater, and you'll enjoy the mech for a longer period of time.

I think people just like saying Wang

A big part of the Yen Lo Wang, the claw in the other arm is not functional. So missing melee combat you can't really judge the full potential of the Yen Lo Wang. Sounds cool if you can blast a mech with the AC20 while running up to hit it with the claw. Does the claw actually take up tonnage or is it purely cosmetic addition to the skin?

@Vechs
How did you get a refund? PGI actually give refunds if you buy a Mech for MC your not happy with? I thought once you buy something its permanent. What about all the bonus cbills you got with the Yen Lo Wang? or is there a refund button that you can get a refund for a mech within 5 or less games of buying it?

Yeah, we all have matches like that. It's not the mech.

Great job so your a Kill Stealer and an admitted AFKer, What next an ahbitual DC'er. JK, I love my Wang and do great damage and kills with it. The Centurion just fits my style of play rather well, I'm a A Juke and Weave kind of Killa, Juke and Weave Brah.

I certainly do.

You are a big kill stealer. This is what your damage should look like when you put in work.

OH EMMM GEEE, kill steehlerz

Not necessarily. If you're landing your shots mostly CT and HD you can kill dealing very little damage.

Theoretically possible but 7 or 8 kills with that type of accuracy is even more improbable. When someone posts 7-8 kills with 600 damage, I will assume the far more likely scenario.

The Wang is bad yo...

And by Bad I don't mean Good.

Get yourself a 9A and **** it out and then do that kind of damage consistently in the 8-man queue...

Why Wang when you can Flame?

It's name and shame for just posting a score sheet?

Oh I didn't say it was likely but I do notice a difference in the damage dealt with precision mechs vs shotgun mechs. It's not unusual for my CTF-3L to come out of a game only dealing 500 damage but with 4-5 kills. Conversely my Stalker with massive SRM batteries in the same situation would easily break 1000 damage.

A good clue I think on how much of it was KSing is to look at the other player's assist scores. Lots of assist's mean that the team as a whole was damaging.

Care to 1v1 me in my cent a?

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.
