Heya.

Just curious if anybody has some sound advice for when I end up facing 4+ Raven mechs?

[BunnyWabbit]

Hope your in an srm6 cat. Otherwise you have no way of killing that many ravens quick enough for them not to kill you. Or be in a raven yourself and be better at aiming than them.

you can solo 2 and kill a third one later in an awesome 8r srm boat. lead your srm shots

4 is just unrealistic?

Well get ready to LOL cause half my team was with me. Any team tactics to help vaccinate against the avian bird flu?

[Bren McGuire]

If they're swarming someone else close by, anything with a pinpoint 40+ alpha helps. If it's you being swarmed, have a 40+ point alpha and hope your team is paying attention.

Alas, title should've referenced a murder of crows.

[Metafox]

If you're in a team: Collapse back onto your base, stand and shoot them down as they run in circles. Focus one at a time if possible. If you're a 100% pug then there's not much you can do 1 v 4.

[MonkeyCheese]

I say just disconnect and launch another game and wait for them to fix this 3L ECM/Streak/brokenhitbox/lagshield problem. all i gotta say is I hope something is done before this stat wipe comes.

Burst damage.
Catch one with a big SRM blast, or a pair of gauss/set of PPCs/AC20 or two and they will probably start to think about running. The smart ones run, the dumb ones think it was a lucky shot...

If you're isolated, you're screwed. Just like any other 1v4+ scénario.

If you're not, don't shoot the raven circling you. Shoot the ravens circling your teammates, Alpha them when their circling trajectory means that they have little to no transversal velocity to you.

Hah!, used to be able to play that on bass drums and guitar back in the day.

Rather than a flock of seagulls though, the OP is on about a murder of ravens (yes that's the technical term for a group of ravens... or is it crows, even still it fits), something much less common now but was a problem pre lag shield.

This, basically. If you have been cut off and are fighting down the enemy team 1v4 something has gone very wrong. Your options are as follows:

1) Try to get back to your own team.
2) Get three teammates to help you out and make it a fair fight.
3) Hang on for long enough so that the rest of your team can smash the enemy 7v4 and then finish off the ravens.
4) Explode in ball of fire.

Ravens is 'an unkindness' as opposed to 'a murder'. Which is also appropriate, I guess.

Also, 4 of anything will beast you caught on your own, especially if they're on comms.

[bonapartist1]

Raven 3l abuse is rampant and posts like this just show it.

[KinLuu]

Why did you end up in a 4 vs. 1 in the first place?
