Greetings MechWarriors!

I think the title makes clear what it is about.

This thread should not lead to further discussion about PUG's vs Premade.
It's meant to improve the teamwork of Solo Players. I know that sounds like a contradiction.
But I want to try it at least.

Here are some tips, that I think, increase the chance of victory.

First of all and most importantly:

Communicate with your Teammates, share the information that you have and Coordinate your actions based on that.

Communicate, Inform, Coordinate
I call it THE BIG CIC

Communicate:
- via chat and short commands

Inform:
- where is the enemy and how many

Coordinate:
- Aligns your actions.

Code of Combat:
  • Play for the win not for the kill.
  • Stay together, (close to ECM) Do not get caught alone, on the hunt for a seemingly safe Kill.
  • Call out targets, mark them with key R. (for LRM support)
  • Coordinate your fire, if possible focus on one target.
  • Support your team in every possible way.
  • Use the Battlegrid for a better overview. Key B
Ask not what the team can do for you but what you can do for the team.


List of possible commands:
  • Rally
  • Stay together
  • Engage
  • Fall back
  • Move to...
  • Focus Fire
  • Flank
  • Abort
  • Follow
  • Hold position
  • Track

Also important, if you have someone on your team who is willing to take the lead then support him or her.

This post is meant to be improved, feel free to add Comments or suggestions. I will add anything useful.

Finally, a constructive thread, well said!

And the R key isn't just for the LRM boats, it allows YOU to see the weak points on your target to shoot at to bring it down quicker.
