Hey everyone - I'm starting up a new series of videos in addition to my build videos where I narrate through an entire match instead of hunting and picking the prime moments like I normally do. Any feedback on the format and presentation is most welcome!

This first video is a bit of a stab in the dark looking for what people would like. Do you want more individual piloting skills to be featured or more team oriented action? Should the focus be highlighting tactics or overall strategy? Just let me know and I'll try to include it in the next few!

Finally shameless plug time - If you haven't seen my build series yet I welcome you to check it out
http://www.youtube.c...lP4lJLyvDibjQhh. The Dragon Flame is slated to be next but I'm also open to suggestions.

EDIT: Reference Build : http://mwo.smurfy-ne...e98c620a6b3f646

Watching you play makes me feel good about my Dragon piloting. You're better than me at ballistics shots, particularly at speed, but I must not be too bad otherwise.

Nice video. By the way, I'm currently running a Dragon-1C. Thoughts on the Flame vs that?

If you like ballistics, (save for the AC/20) I know I prefer the 1C for that. The Arm gives you much better ability to hit on the run, and a ton of flexibility in weapon choice.

I honestly don't use the ballistic slot on my Flame. I got it to build a variation off the Grand Dragon, using a 350XL, 2 large lasers, 2 medium lasers and an SRM6, and IMO, it is hands down the best Dragon chassis.

Looks good, if anything was lacking I guess it was commentary on what your team was up to.

Haha yeah Dragon's could use some love. I have to admit that pre-Flame I didn't pay much attention to them.

Glad you enjoyed it! I use the same loadout on my 1C as my Flame just with the weapon locations swapped. It works well though I think it's slightly inferior to the Flame due to the arm mounted ballistic. It's much harder to land consistent shots with the awkward convergence of arm mounted ballistics.

That's definitely a lot of merit to the energy builds on the Flame - the arm mounts naturally lend themselves to lasers and the large engines usually found in Dragon's reduce the need for spending lots of critical space on DHS.

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah honestly I'm not even sure what my team was doing most of the time. I'm usually just happy in PuG games to not have too many people suicide horribly (though if you watch closely you'll see that my team's Atlas ran right into the enemy team and then had an overheat suicide). I have several lined up that will (hopefully) have more team-centric commentary.
