My god.

How about you stop giving ridiculously stupid patronizing advice that assumes every one around you has the same level of insipid stupidity residing in your skull.

You won't get to shoot the ears off a A1- pilot that isn't a stupid twat BECAUSE HE IS USING COVER.

River city is covered in buildings you can use to avoid being shot.

Frozen city likewise is covered in terrain you can use to keep protected.

Forest colony still has LOADS of cover.

Only caustic valley is open terrain enough to make the A-1 not the optimal mech.

It is when it cores you in two shots. You just shot the ear off of it, now it takes twice as long to get its second kill. You were the first, and it WILL kill you.

Play smarter. It's not that hard. If you can sit there and list all those tactics that they are using, make a counter instead [REDACTED]. Thats why you guys cry so much and call everything OP, because instead of bettering yourself and your game you want to think that everything is just OP if it beats you.

All those dead A1 must have died of old age then?

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.

Don't take this the wrong way but I'd say it's more likely that you play like a boss. I kill A1s all the time - pick them out in fact as easy kills. They have to face rush me and I can either blow their cockpit out with my Atlas AC20 + 2xLLs or just stay out of their firing arc with my Jenner, pop a leg off and watch the pretty sparkly ammo explosions. I just don't see them monopolizing kills. I'd say a 3L is far more OPed.

If you've honed the techniques of getting around the limitations and dangers inherent in a one-trick pony build then I say good for you. Some people are crazy good with a laser-hunchie. I grouped for a bit with a guy named Herr Moloch. He was an absolute P I M P in it. 2, 3, 4 kills even in matches we lost. That's not because it was OP, it's because he was a beast in it.

If you're a machine with a particular build then good for you. A1s though die a lot. I tried one for a good long while when I was getting my K2 to elite. It's powerful in its niche but so is a Stalker or a Jenner. Some people master those styles and excel at them. The A1 missileboat is a particular style, no more or less powerful than any of the other niche one-trick-pony builds out there.

You being a machine in one doesn't mean the build is OP though.

I assure you that I make sure that I'm not the first mech it sees. Even the worst teammates like you can be meatshields to allow you to survey the battle and give yourself time to work.

Are you stupid?

I am the guy piloting the A-1

How many times do I have to repeat myself until insipid spastics like yourself understand what is being said.

I have a SRM-6 A1 also. And I've been primed and killed in it too, mainly premade teams but strength in numbers beats ANY SOLO BUILD. The build is not OP.

Actually I've killed a LOT of A1's in River City, that's probably where I get most of my A1 kills. Frozen City, yeah it can be difficult, but pretty much ANY 'mech with a high caliber short range alpha is going to be problematic if they suprise you.

Situational awareness. The first 3 minutes an A1 has to appear in front of you, in Frozen City, after the next two minutes, they can be to your left/right flank depending on which side you're facing (unless of course they decide to sneak through tunnels, BUT, generally scouts will report that if organized appropriately), and after 5 minutes, THEN you can start worrying about the sneak A1 coming in from behind.

Of course, I worry more about the sneaky wolf pack lights more than the A1.

But, A1's don't kill me as much as the wolf packs of Raven/Commando/Spider/Jenner/Cicada do... Those pesky little buggars...

No, they died from lasers atop a mountain of corpses that they made before doing so.

Oh, so it's ok, they don't bother you because you're the super low damage lrm spam dude in the back who keeps complaining that his allies are dying too fast. Cute.

No wonder you don't think they're a problem, the end round screen always shows up 14 minutes after a 3l shot you in the back.

Folks, just wait for Clan Streak SRM 6...then you have a new reason to QQ over this Mech.

LOL actually no. I'm the one shooting him in the back or shooting his ears off while he's focusing the other noob on my team who ran in too early. Like I said, it's not that hard.

And LRMs are for noobs too. I'm above using LRMs unless I'm just playing around with my team.

Anyway, thanks for the morning entertainment gentlemen. I had a lot of fun bashing all the crybabies in here. Take care.

so what are you doing when an enemy Atlas runs in first and you've engaged the atlas and then the A1 comes in and one shots you from behind?

If your going t craft scenarios so can i!


why dont we presume the A1 guy plays as well as you do.

Sure you do. Everyone is really impressed by your master piloting skill, you should take your MLG skills pro.

Still defeatable by the same tactics, only it will be useless if the mech in range has ecm.

And if you don't have ecm? Don't let him get within 270 meters without blowing off an ear or his cockpit. Think of it like charging a stalker face first with a centurion- it's just not a good idea. And generally speaking, if you see an approaching heavy, it's time for you and the team to stop shooting the damned jenner.
