Nice video. It is always nice to see a coordinated light lance do battle.

To be honest, not too impressed. If knockdown/impact is introduced in the manner people are expecting your lance would be food if you tried that. ECM was hardly the super power there...it was lack of knockdown and, arguably, lag shield.

If the Dragon had gone down without warning to four Alpha strikes to the rear from ECM hidden lights it would have been impressive ECM use displaying insightful tactical planning. What we saw in that clip was 'seagull tactics';call a target, mine, mine, mine, eat... flap away looking for next fish.

Since some weeks there are more and more of this raven duos or complete raven 3L premade groups. When the word gets around this lame strategy will become even more popular.
Not a good trend for this game....

...erm, no. Streak SSRMs did not win them that match. The fact that they were on the fringes of the battle, harassing the flanks, and picking off bigger and slower mechs separated from their packs is what won them that game. If you'll notice, that Dragon (I think it was a Dragon?) was off completely by itself and nobody came to help him while the three or four Lights swarmed all over him.

Every mech that they attacked was off on the flank and by itself. This is the primest example of actually pretty good Light play. Hit, pick off the straggler, fade before retribution can come. There were some clumsy instances of running in to buildings or other mechs, but this is still the way to play a Light if you're in a group.

Those buildings moved around on me...I swear...

But thanks for the compliments

Why all the deleted posts Akke? Shamed to be in an ECM light/teamwork video?
