Tell me how that works when your against a team of A-1s who can each take a mech out in 5 seconds on their own.

An A1 cant take out every mech in 5 secons.

Three things are required (for any Cheese build btw)

Identify
Verify
Nullify

.... Reading comprehension? failed much?

an A-1 can take out any mech in two salvos most in one.

a team of A-1s will slaughter a team of other mechs.

I don't think there is a problem with the Mech. I think missles are a little out of balance. they could use some damage tweeks, move them a little closer to tt damages.

Ok, NOW we're having to worry about them if they're teamed?

So far I think I've recently seen one drop group that had 4 Cats (not all A1's) in it. Not sure of the 'mechs make up, they were on my team and of course you can't see your team mate's build outs, but that drop, if I remember correctly was a defeat. It was probably full of PUGs, no team communication, pretty much had 3 groups going in different directions (it was Forest Colony), some when towards cave, some to that E5/D5 area, and some to Clitoral Peak over on the far side of F5.

No focus'd fire and we lost, something like 8 vs. 3.

Anyway, if teams are coordinating their cheese builds, it's an obvious attempt at stat padding. The first coordinated team using proper long range fire tactics either using indirect fire LRM's or a group of snipers that A1 team is going to be hurting.

Anyway, again, this is much ado about nothing.

Nope. Unless they manage you get within 10m to put your alpha into a single section it's nearly impossible.
Lights and Mediums that let you get close that much are badly piloted and deserve their fate.
Heavys and Assaults will have killed at least one of your ears or your rediculous large cockpit until you get close.

Yeah I guess that's why the 8 man queue is full of splatcats... oh wait there are none of them.
You wont even slaughter a decent 4 man premade with splatcats.

I imagine 5 splat cats + 3 raven3ls would be easy wins. Charge enemy base w/80kph heavies and raven 3ls to spot enemy. Enemy starts coming back to their base at best speed, you kill them in order of arrival and/or win by capping.

That would work under one assumptions:

• The hostile team doesn't send out scouts and waddles out blindly.

Thats funny because the huge load of utter crap you were spewing earlier relied on the same presumptions.

Funny how that works.

Scouting again? My Catapult can spot at 900m. I already proved it wrong.

It needs a nerf.

AC20 cats are 10x more dangerous than missile cats. I stomp on A1s with an Atlas and a Jenner. In fact i just started piloting a jenner last night, it's still got the stock engine, 4mls and an SRM6 and before the game went down for maintenance I dropped in a game against a team that was mostly Catapults. SRM and LRM cats. 4 or 5 of them. I killed 3 of them myself, we rolled them 8-1.

Catapults can't aim their arms side to side. They suck at a circling unless you stay right in their sights. SRM cats have to either face-rush you or lead you by a good distance to SRM you. Circle at a wide range (the missiles will spread badly) or if you're in a light right up close and the'll never get a hit on you.

Shoot them in the leg, or ear. They have to aim right down the nose. Shoot the cockpit if you're packing lasers. It's the easiest to cockpit mech out there.

Glass cannon Gaussapults and face-humping 2xAC20 sniper cats are far, far more dangerous. Kill both with a very long stick or a quick knife in the back.

Considering I pilot a Splatcat myself since CB I can assure you it is not the boogeyman you are trying to make it.

Why would they need to they can twist 280 degrees....

Catapults run at 90kph your point is invalid.

I have a Splatcat too, and can say it's imbalanced. Maybe not cause of the mech itself, maybe it's SRMs.

[Shumabot]

The only problem with the cata is the fact that the srm does 3 times the damage the ac20 does per tonne. That's it. It's a chassis that exploits the most overpowered weapon in the game (srm6) and the most functionally broken weapon in the game (streak srm).

That's it. that is the only problem with the a1. Everything in every poll option misses the mark by fifty miles.

Funny, did you say something coherent?

All i can hear is "MYYYYYYYYY PRECIOUS"

I've been playing them since November it's disgustingly over powered. It becomes ever more so as the netcode is improved.
