Nice post.
i wonder if MWO would ever include the Rifle weapons?
Since battletech (Videogame) is going to be set in the succession wars and in the periphery it will probably include them.
Heavy rifle has the range of an AC5 but does 9 damage, weighs 8 tons.
What does MWO do for ammo is it double? heavy rifle is 6 shots per ton in TT.
Medium rifle has a range of 450m and does 6 damage for a 5 ton weapon.
The light rifle would actually seem like a usable weapon for lights with ballistic slots, 3 tons, 3 damage range of 360m.
MWO couldnt really add Rocket launchers without fixing srms because otherwise they fit the same role really. (aside from rocket launcher pods being one shot items).
Rocket Launchers are unguided rockets with a wider spread than SRM's, single shot items.
RL10 fires 10 missiles that do 1 damage each with a 540 max range only weighs 0.5 tons though.
RL15 is 15 missiles, weighs 1 ton. 450 max range.
RL20, 20 missiles, weighs 1.5 tons, 360 max range.
>>144997295
They're in-timeline but not really used much outside the Periphery in TT, but that really shouldn't stop things.
Rifles do reduced damage vs. armor, though. If you matched that up with MWO's double armor, a light rifle deals 1.5 damage with a three-ton medium-range ballistic weapon (med 4.5, hvy 7.5).
Ammo is usually 50% more per ton for ballistics, so a heavy rifle would have 9 shots/ton.
>>145000687
removing the damage reduction and increasing ammunition would lead to them being a feisable weapon for lights i would think. 9shots/ton is kinda lame.
>>144997295
Rifles are so low tech not even SW mechs use them. It's too bad they have a -3 damage penalty for anything with a BAR of 9+, which is really total bull. So the heavy rifle deals a mere 6 damage to anything using standard armor / heavy industrial and above.
Too much spread would be bad for RLs. They could fill a niche role if they were *more* accurate than other missile weapons, firing in a relatively straight line with little spread but uses the Clan LRM launch sequence so the missile "beam" takes a while to fully hit the target. MRMs in the future can behave the same way.

Remember they also do full damage to internals.
A heavy rifle deals more damage than an AC/5 to armor for the same tonnage and with the same reach, never mind what it does to internals. Higher heat and lower ammo/ton isn't unreasonable at all.
Consider that a pair of HRs will deal 15 damage at good range to armor for 16 tons and with only marginally less ammo than a Gauss. Yeah, it's more heat. It also isn't charge-and-fire or a single, massively fragile gun, plus it wrecks internals even better- 15 armor, 18 internal damage.

>>145002529
Do remember MWO doubles armor, which means halving the damage penalty to armor. Renders even a light rifle capable of dinging armor, unlike TT.
RLs should have a spread pattern of 5 rockets, firing repeatedly for larger RLs (15, 20).

>kong loses again
>>145005417
We've lost the last couple games due to extreme inexperience in the 8v8 arena and general lack of guidance and preparedness. For example:
>bringing a brawling deck and then tentatively sneaking around the map instead of pushing
My theory is that we're all terrified of the 12v12 environment where pushing into a team generally means you're a sacrificial lamb that gets hammered by 12 different large laser boats all at once. In an 8v8 setting where there is also a strict tonnage limit this problem is far less prevalent and makes brawling a real possibility, we just need to retrain our instincts from 2+ years of 12v12 poking fear. In reality what you're facing when you push against a team of laser pokers in an 8v8 game is a few large laser strikes from Grasshoppers and possibly IIC Hunchies, some cannonade from Kodiaks and that's ONLY if the entire enemy team is focusing one person - in which case the entire rest of YOUR team is right behind you ready to fuck shit up and bring hundreds of damage worth of SRMs to bare into the face of a rapidly overheating laserboat. Once you break the ranks of a poking team shit falls apart real fast, the issue is that we didn't and they ended up surrounding us and making our lives hell.
>bringing a poking deck and getting swarmed by shitters
We let them run to us without punishing them. The correct choice in this situation is to start rotating to a safe position and forcing the enemy team to stay exposed and unable to harass you as you keep dumping lasers in their face. Focusing damage also helps.
All in all our biggest problem is that we don't know when or how to move. In the past few losses we've always ended up getting confused and being corralled into some strange position that favors the enemy team, then spilling our spaghetti and eating shit. This is only really fixed by practicing more. I'm in contact with other teams for the purpose of arranging scrims so that we can get some decent practice under our belts.
>>145007581
does anyone have the team have any comp experience, in or out of mwo?
>>145007581
What are competitive dropdecks looking like, mostly?
What seems to be working best for you guys?
Also, yo, /gerg/. Vancouver's nice. No sign of Tina yet. I'll keep you posted.
>>145008168
Comp dropdecks are mostly meme mechs tailored to the specific map we're always playing on - Canyon Network. Generally it's something like:
>lmao 2kodiak
>grasshoppers for dat vertical laser poke
>hunchback IIC for dat 39 damage LPL alpha poke
>power jenners and coxides serving as cavalry
But we've also seen a huge variety of things. The general rule of thumb is that if it has good poke and/or brawl, and jets, it's going to be useful. So this includes Enforcers, Spiders, Griffons, a ton of random assaults, some clan heavies and mediums that you might not expect, etc.
Our best bet so far is just a laser poke deck but I'd really like to get us accustomed to brawling. Once things are ironed out I have a feeling it's going to get a lot easier.
>>145007581
>tl;dr we are bad and need to git gud
>>145008769
Sounds like a blast. Kodiaks, Grasshoppers, Jenners/Oxides, and Hunchies don't surprise me too much, nor do Griffins and and even Enforcers, but Spiders? I take it that it's just the single LPL build, or some shit?
What's your dropdeck looking like most often? Either way, I figure doing what everyone's most comfortable with and what mechs everyone's most comfortable with will yield the best results - but that's probably kind of an obvious thing to say.
As for brawling, you just need to invoke the power of the warboss and it's ggclose. Can the Spirit Bear be warboss? That's probably my favorite brawl build right now.
>>145007581
>Kong losing in 8v8 brawls
truly pizzadog has tainted kong with cuckboi culture
>>145009291
Kong. Kong never changes.Except all the original 8v8er types are long gone, leaving people with 12v12 instincts and too timid to act.
>>145009291
There's no shame in adapting and learning, shitposter-san. It's a stretch to say that we're bad since we regularly preform well - and have preformed well in this tournament - but you can't expect anyone to just immediately adapt to a new setting with no growing pains. The reason 228 and the Lords are good is because they practice every goddamn day. We don't, and it shows, and I'm trying to fix that.
>>145009585
The Spider build does involve a single Large Laser yes. A 5K has 50% laser refresh and 25% laser duration quirks. For a poking deck it's a very viable choice if you don't want the cavalry rush of SRM Jenners.
And I'm not telling you our deck, mole-kun. Return to your masters empty handed and weep, you will gain nothing from your interrogation today.
Will KONG triumph in the face of overwhelming large laser faggotry?
Will Kaelus and his kool kids finally submit to Dashing's daredevils?
Find out on the next episode of MECHWARRIOR ONLINE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2016!

Oh, right, 5K is decent.

Kong lost to a Nova pilot who got most of the team's kills.
A Nova. Let that sink in if you can hear it over all the Kodiaks firing their dakka. 90% of the assaults (61/68 recorded) in the current tournament were Kodiaks, mostly -3's.
That's a lot of Clan competitiveness there. And Hunchback IICs and Jenner IICs, for that matter. Also common tournament choices.
>>145047116
that is a pathetic amount of armament, and the SRM6 is useless.
>>145047235

Something smells suspicious.
Fuck missiles. There's no outplay, so you might as well just ignore them while they hammer down on you. Fucking retarded.
>>145057826
When you can afford it, Radar Deprivation is a really good module to have, since it breaks locks the moment you slip into cover - meaning all those missiles raining down on you just slam useless into whatever hill you're humping. Otherwise, ECM mechs like the Hellbringer Prime are pretty good, since they naturally can't be targeted up to a certain (close) range, usually 180 meters or so.
>>145057182
Usually it's pegging a heavy or assault during the "trench warfare" phase. Maybe it's the damage fall off, but even in toe to toe fights, I've nailed five or six rounds, with medium laser backup, and still failed to kill mechs.
>>145053991
Oh god, what the fuck is this shit.
>>145059320
It is rather unusual, MWO generally has at least 1k.
Overwatch really did drain the pot I think. So until people get over Team Waifu everything's gonna be quite dead. This could kill MWO with it's current stagnation in quality patches and dev - community com silence at the moment though.
Hell, maybe Russ himself is too busy staring at Widowmakers's ass to do anything MWO related.
...even worse, maybe him and Bryan are trying to pitch an "Oververse".
>>145059575

>>145064370
Besides lrms and erppcs being kind of shit most weapons are reasonably balanced. Only thing that really is messed up is like several dozen mechs.
Last week, Techwars Online, a Steam Greenlight success story, that made it through all of the hurdles, was released on Steam for ten dollars. Well that certainly seems like a price worth trying out. So I grabbed a copy of the game, and invested some time into figuring out this turn based tactical game featuring BattleMechs fighting it out.
To begin, you can move each of your units up to three hexes, with a twist of your torso counting as one. And you can fire one weapon. Each weapon has different ranges and firing arcs. You may have short range lasers that can only reach 2-3 hexes away, or long range missiles which won’t fire close in at all, but which can hit with a spread out range. Some weapons require a direct line to hit, like your main cannon, so moving, firing, and more is all important. Also important is turning after firing to protect yourself. It’s all about winning, not about how damaged your unit gets in the process, right?
All units start the same, but as the game and campaign progress, you level up and can bring more units and level them up, and give abilities to your pilots and ‘Mechs to differentiate them. The game features a lot of tactical maneuvering to get off the right shot on the right arc behind or around cover, and then perhaps see some closing.
Now one of the criticisms I’ve seen is that most units have similar weapons loads, like LRMs or such, but there is value in that, once you’ve seen the game play. After all, if your foe doesn’t have LRMs at all, and you do, it’s hard for them to face you early game, and you can just line up, pick them off from range, move behind terrain or force them to come around a fissure. It increases the tactical aspects of play considerably.
Now don’t go into this game thinking it’s really a turn-based BattleTech replete with Spiders, Centurions, and Archers. That’s not this game. Instead is a thinking version of turn-based tactics, with each side having its own mass produced unit you are using, and then you tweak that. Eventually you’ll add more forces to your lineup.
Want to give it some BattleTech fluff? Sure you can! Imagine you are two corporations debuting a separate MechLine on your home planet, and now you are vying for control of that planet with just that line of ‘Mechs. Maybe you have “Prove it” contracts from a House Military and the winner of the skirmish gets the major contract? Maybe you are fighting on two sides of a major civil war, and just these two lines are available to you? But if that’s really something you want, you certainly could force it in.
In summation, the game is a relatively simple turn-based strategy game, with an easy tactical interface which is not hard to learn and figure out. You can be playing in ten minutes. There’s single player, multiplayer, and more all ready to rock and roll. So what’s your poison?
>>145069379
Weapons are balanced save for LRMs and ERPPCs, like you said, but we got some overquirked monsters that need some toning down, I think. Does the KDK-3 need some sort of nerf?
Why can't 40k be more like Battletech?
SQUAAAAAWWWWKKKKKKKKKKKK

Rapid fire PPC volleys can be a bit of a giggle on the knight but... yeah, you can fit in a fuckton more guns and still have enough sinks.
Maybe it's running a very large standard engine? Didn't get an idea of speed when watching since dude wasn't exactly running much.
Ladies and gents, the successful PSR system, with two clearly well-matched opponents in a fierce fight.Who am I kidding. Look at him. Look at him and laugh.

Pretty sure it's the Magistracy of Canopus aka ladies in charge&free love: the faction
>>145086262
Oh, so it's a jab at the ludicrous notion that women would be better leaders?
>>145086517
They seem to be doing pretty well in setting (not constantly getting nuked/Clan'd) so it's not much of a jab if it was even intended that way.
>>145083891
It just doesn't do anything special. In lore it has paper thin armor and get's wrecked by fighters even though it's supposed to be this great AA mech.
In mwo it has insufficient tonnage to properly boat ballistics and doesn't compare well to similar mechs.
>>145085312
We dont speak the word of Blake here. Thats Heresy. 08SE goes Davion today for a week or more depending on how we do.
>>145086705
Hamfisted, writer fiat laden fictional settings do not translate well to the real-world experience. I'm pretty sure that's the part they're jabbing fun at.
>>145087801
It's probably better to take it at face value: they be having pretty wild orgies out there in the MoC. More depth than that was kinda beyond FASA's ability.

>>145099475
is this bad or good?
I haven't followed the scaling shit except for the quickdraw and grasshopper which are stupidly oversized
>>145098972
Only a 10% missile velocity boost for weapon quirks, but it gets added armor on the arms and structure boosts pretty much everywhere. With the smaller target profile, that's possibly OK.
>tfw fap to Greg's steam avatar
Does anyone else do this?
>>145099863
scaling the catapult to like 2/3 its old size is amazing
>>145089943
Whats wrong with quad lpl? what the fuck else are you gonna run on the huelander?

Because you could use several other options to boat LPLs even on just clan mechs. The only use for huelanders is making gimmic builds that use up all the hardpoints.
Tbh the highlander iic doesn't have a whole lot of redeeming features, so if you're doing LPLs and nothing else on it, you're doing both LPLs and shitlanders wrong.
>>145110741
I don't understand the logic of making an already bad mech worse by using a "gimmick" build. 4 lpl is consistent and can be cooled well with the vast amount of space within the chassis.
Like the mech is already bad why make it worse?

Generally, manwalkers are getting bigger, and boxes on legs are getting smaller.
So daishis are shrinking, but wolverines and hunchbacks are getting bigger.
>>145114312is warbros not recruiting in this game too?also why are you playing this awful game

It's not gay if it looks like a girl. I can't help it that Greg's avatar turns me on

There's only a few of us playing. I want to say yes but this is just a stopover until the promised land
>>145114627
>wolverines and hunchbacks
This is fucking stupid. The IS medium mechs are already stupidly oversized.
>>145115796
ah rip. I've not touched warfarm or been in the general for a few months, so the promised land is foreign to me
>>145109128
What's this?

Catapult looks damn sexy again.Maybe the jesus patch is real.
Also what the fuck is with these 4chan posting issues Hiroshimoot.
>>145116624
Every single medium mech could be a whole 10% smaller. We don't need shaqs as tall as an atlas.
>>145099190
>>145099357
The new model has a noticeably different knee angle which makes it a little shorter. Here's to hoping that other mechs are eligible for stance and animation changes, especially the Mad Cat. I hate that powerwalk gait.

For what fucking purpose. Just play a good mech.
Whats a good Warhammer 7s Build? 4 Large or 2 LPL with 4 Meds?
>>145125269
It has laser duration quirks so pulse lasers become even better
one arm stripped 3lpl + 2ml and a big xl is pretty straightforward
>>145122469
Apparently it was russians ddos attacks that were fucking up 4chins lately. Now that the entire country is rangebanned everything will be back to normal.
>>145125269
2 LPL 4 Meds 3 SRM4 only a little ammo biggest XL engine from leftovers
For people who like to sweat only
>>145128148
you can try this but srms gives you a much bigger sidetorsos unfortunately and the 7s has barely any missile quirks

If they make all the other oversized mechs like that sweetass catapult then I agree with that.
>>145143512
They won't. It was a special one-of thing. Too much cancer to save the old model.
So who is Jenny Templeton?
Will PGI have Catalyst do a write up for her when they put the BB out?

Generic TRO character.
Yes, catalyst will write the entry.
>>145150443
I wish they'd go back and do write ups for a lot of the other Heroes too. They used to have an entire page of them on their site, but they're gone now. So many Heroes without back stories, I miss it.
>>145150542
Well, the Muromets and the Wang are official and canon custom rides.
>>145150542
many of the hero mechs are based off pre-existing hero mechs in batteltech.
The yen lo wang still exists in 3147 (the current date battletech is up to). Its a family heirloom passed down and refit over the years.
>Release several overpriced pixel robots for one side that favour specific weapon loadouts

>Push through a patch that "universally" reduces the power capability of a specific set of weapons
>this reduction affects one side more than the other
>the recently released, overpriced pixel shitbuckets are now top of the new meta created by the developer
Can't decide if PGI is a deviously evil genius or just get dumb luck.
SQUAWK
Why the fuck isn't this game set in 3145?
>Pretty much any and all mechs you can think of
>Weapons and tech bases are balanced for a proper "TRUE MUH ESPAUWTS" feel
>Everyone can fight everyone
>clans can go against inner sphere and vice versa, EVERYONE has an attack corridor
Instead, russ cuckold and the fat asian faggot are adamant on making nigger sphere just as powerful as clans while taking everything clans have away from them.
>>145157736
because the setting is plagued with grognards who believe 3050 is the golden era of battletech.
>>145157736
Because a thousand mechs and a hundred different weapons don't just magic themselves into existence overnight. Starting before clan era made perfect sense.
>>145157736
consider it took PGI over a year to program masc,
have announced multiple times that having the ability to change ammunition type would be "impossible" (despite crysis, a game on the same engine having that very feature)
They had, and then removed the ability for mechs feet to turn/angle on the surface because they didnt want to spend the money on animation budget.
They had , and then removed damage decals and graphics that actually reflected what weapons you got hit by exposing internals, that was then replaced by this horrible cancerous growth style texutre the covers the mech when you get hit.
They had the beginnings of a melee system that had some flaws, instead it has been cut thoroughly and never revisited.
LRMs function as semi guided LRM's and not as standard lrm ammo.
Alll mechs in game have C3i already
The engine system in mwo is fucked, they messed with the size/tonnage to the point where some mechs dont work.
They added an engine limit to mechs that TT does not have.
>>145158361
Don't forget they've begun inflating hardpoint counts on mechs to ensure they sell. Power creep, as it were.
Such as with the new upcoming catapult hero. Russ himself has stated that they have no intentions of giving the other catapult variants more hardpoints, instead justifying it by saying they'll just quirk the worse variants.
Not to mention the hardpoint inflation has reached the point where IS eclipse clan hardpoint counts on many of their chassis now, completely shattering PGI's previous justification for negative and no quirks on clan mechs.
