So doing Forrest in the snow. Conquest.
Run the tunnel in my 6xSRM6 A1. Lovely cheese there.
Come around and spot an LRM boat A1 tossing off a few volleys at my team mates.
Closed to about 35 meters and smacked his right rear. Took off his right ear and did massive damage to his RT.
Screen went black and CTD.
I am sad and just thought I would cry hear about it so I will feel better when I start getting yelled at about my SRM A1.

ctd's used to happen a lot in MW3, i think they coded it in just to make us feel nostalgic.

Game 2.
River city. Conquest.
Got 2 kills and then had the overheat screen.
Trided to shutdown and start up but that got me killed.

CTDs are definitely bad, for each and everyone...just not for srm6-cat-users! Fully deserved due to bad karma my friend.

*duck & cover*

Kidding. Apart from the karma part lol.

Games 3 and 4 for the morning went without horrible things.
And...
I'll take the bad karma to have the awesome fun.

But...so much grief for us. My Dragon has a front armor of 60, internals should be 30. You could one-shot me.

It is possible.
Of course I would have to get every SRM in one hit location.
I have done this type of thing before. But if you are going to let an A1 get 30 meters away you are going to get hurt.

I have learned since recently getting an A1 that it is not only a lot of fun but to be really productive to your team you have to think. It is way to easy to get eared from long range. A1s get called out and hunted. At ranges beyond 270 meters I can do nothing. At ranges beyond 200 meters I might as well not fire. The damage is going to be small and spread out.
inside 100 meters I hit hard. inside 50 meters I am to be feared.

High speed flanking and coming in undetected from behind ...

Even Atlases die from an alpha or 2 from behind.

Correct me if I'm wrong: As an srm6 cat you're running a big engine, proably even xl engine. So "letting you get close" is hardly a thing I could avoid with my typical medium mech. Usually srm6-cats just hunt me down and there's nothing I can do about.

My SP does a pretty good job of staying away from Splat cats.
I know because when I do not do a good job at it I die.

I heard that once they add in a reconnect to match feature, CTD is going to be the new overheat mechanic.

How fast is your splat-cat? My Hunchback 4SP has a standard 250 and does 81 kph, but that's my fastes medium. ^^

Same speed as yours.
Once they get on top of you it is bad,
I need to see an A1 coming. Then it is time to hit the throttle and hopefully show the A1 a few of my team mates.
A1 is build that will kill anyone making a fatal mistake. And the A1 will die as soon as its pilot makes a fatal mistake.
There is no room for certain mistakes to be made for the hunter or the hunted when an A1 is on the hunt.
