They're redoing assault mode to have an actual asymmetric battle with one side defending a dropship. Should release in august maybe.
New guy here, I've been playing around with a the Trial ebon jaguar and it's really fun. It's got 2 medium pulse lasers, one heavy laser and a Gauss cannon. How good are Gauss cannons in the grand scheme of things? It's felt really satisfying so far to blow people's arms off, or drop a shot on a light's cockpit and watch it drop immediately.
>>146490249
Goose is great even though it used to be stronger.
Lots of players don't like it or have issues with the charging mechanic even though it only takes an hour or so to get used to it.
It complements hot energy weapons perfectly since goose makes no heat.
>>146490654
I kinda like the charge up so far, the sound is rather satisfying and if someone plods out of view, you can just hold it another second and it cancels the shot so you don't waste ammo. Would running 2 on a mech with some medium or heavy lasers work? It seems like it might be a little hard to fit enough ammo for longer battles.
>>146490997
Don't mean to sound like a sperg but for posterity's sake heavy lasers and large lasers are different weapons in BT.
Gauss rifles go well with large lasers, though. They're high heat, and gauss are low heat consumption. Though the best combination would be large pulse, medium lasers, and goose.
>>146491346
My bad, what's the difference between large and heavy lasers?
>>146491424
Heavy lasers aren't in the game yet so don't worry about it.
>>146490997
Not too many mechs can run double goose but it is incredibly effective since both shots will usually hit the same part of the enemy.
If enemies have a weak spot such as an open side torso you have the ability to surgically hit it.
30-35 pinpoint damage is also enough to wreck lights in a single shot assuming they took some damage or you hit them in their rear.
It's also enough to headshot most mechs assuming they don't have full head armor and even then you might get lucky enough to get a crit chance (close to a coinflip in odds).
Lastly, you can ignore the downsides of hot maps and have no problems with standoff fights either.
>>146491649
I was just giving the trial dire wolf a try with double gauss and it really wrecked some people, but I am a little skeptical about the gauss being on the arms. What kind of hard points can hold gauss cannons? Is it Ballistic?
>>146491649
>>146491957
I should add that head hitboxes on most mechs are quite tiny and aren't their actual heads. The atlas for example is just a part of their left eye. I think the player's guide has links to hitbox info that you can look at some point.
Yes, it's ballistic.
There's two things to consider with gauss. One is that the weapon itself explodes for 20 points of damage if someone hits it when your armor is stripped in that location.
The other is that if your gauss are widely set apart like on a King crab claws, or in a Dire Wolf arms they might not necessarily hit the same body part on a small target if it's moving and you're tracking it.
>>146492214
Is there a mech that can hold 2 gauss on shoulder or chest slots? I think that would feel nice.
>>146492707
Warhammer and Kodiak can both do it. You could do it on a mauler too but they are as slow as dire wolf and it's not a strong build on them.
>>146493147
Is the catapult still able to hold double gauss?
>>146493406
You can run a 2 goose + 2 ml build on a catapult K2.
>>146493147
So when you say warhammer can do it, do you mean the 6R or BW? Because I like the game so far, but I don't know if I wanna drop money on it yet.
>>146493930
I mean the 6R as 2 goose + 4ml.
The black widow is almost entirely used in 4xAC5 build or 2xAC5+2UAC5.
>>146494046

>>146492214
>>146491649
Thanks for all the help, one more question. Is there ever events where you can get paintjobs and things without paying cash?
>>146494578
Sure. There are events usually every other week. What they give out varies a lot. Sometimes cbills, sometimes a color, sometimes premium time, sometimes a mech bay, sometimes a champion mech.
Anyway, if you need more detailed info or once you're ready to try playing in group you can hop on the mumble. Harabec and Whispers are the best people to ask.
>>146494920
I might, but I already have my own mumble I chill in with my buds, so I don't know how 2 voips at once would work.

>>146498694
Goose mechs typically run an xl engine which weighs a lot less but takes more space and makes you more vulnerable.
>>146498689
>I only know how to charge straight at the enemy and blame the map if I can't
>>146498694
Use ferro fibrous / endo steel. Lower armor where no weapons or components are. Take a smaller engine. Other than that there is no way to raise the tonnage of any mech.

So;
xl295 or 280 depending if you want 5 or 4 medium lasers
50 shots for gauss (5 tons, 2.5 per gun)
Strip left or right arm depending how many lasers you have, strip both if you got only 4
>>146505414
>2xlpl + med las
>not triple lpl or 2lpl + erppc

m8 it's a clan assault in MWO, you're going to be piloting a mobile sauna whether you want to or not.
>>146507153
Sauna builds only work if you use Gauss with it
>>146502694
So here's the deal with Ferro and Endo:
Endo is always better, always. They both take up the same amount of crits, but Endo has better weight savings, always. The reason for this is Ferro is one of those cost-effective compromises in the original tabletop. Some robots use both endo and ferro, but the heavier you get the less that's going to be true, unless you're a Clan mech which use Endo and Ferro that take up half the slots of the IS mechs.
Double Heat Sinks are also a straight upgrade over Single Heat Sinks. This little fact is the funtax of the game. Every robot you ever use will need DHS, and unless it already comes with them, that's 1.5 million extra cost to kitting out the mech. It's shitty but that's just how it is.
Your engine is much too small. Engines have an internal amount of heatsinks built into them - you may have noticed if you try to remove all the heatsinks you have mounted in that thing it will tell you that you need 10 minimum. That's because all engines below a 250 rating are missing internal heatsinks, and they lose another every 25 rating. I should note that these heat sinks are unique as well when they're DHS - most DHS aren't true double heatsinks in the sense they don't give you 2 capacity and 2 dissipation for every one you have, they actually tend to have values around 1.2 to 1.6 for those (depending on tech base, Clan and IS are different). Built in engine doubles DO give 2 for each though, making them the most powerful heat sinks you can have.
Also, for every engine 25 points above 250 rating you get an extra slot to place a heatsink in the engine without it taking up critslots. These don't give the benefits I mentioned above, they're normal DHS or SHS or whatever and not engine sinks, but they don't take up any crits. In short you want a 280 or 295 as someone else said.
Also your back armour is too high, cut it in half. You won't need more than 8/10/8 for back values.
>>146509758
>dhs is a direct upgrade
Incorrect. If you can fit enough standards they cool heat much more effectively then double heat sink
>>146510535
The only build I've ever seen that work with is that meme banshee build with 40 SHS. Go be retarded somewhere else.
>>146510672
>it works here
>but it doesnt count
kk
>>146510672
>It's a "Harabec acts like an asshole for no reason" episode
>>146511436
>>146510535
It's only for a tiny fraction of meme builds and nothing people run actually benefit from it, but if we want to go this route then it's particularly potent for Clans to gain capacity with rather than gaining dissipation
I'm not here to cover every tiny possibility considering that post hit the character limit as is, the fact remains DHS is mandatory for 99.9% of builds that you're going to run

What do I even do in this situation? It's a god damn nightmare. I have no hope of keeping up with him and since he traverses the map so fast it's hard to predict exactly where he will take his next potshot from.
Terran Hegemony when?
>>146514563
1. Back up against a wall.
2. Wait for him to poke.
3. ???
4. Profit!
>>146515338
I tried that, but I was on that mining colony map and there were a lot of corners he could peek out of and he was also doing little jump peeks over walls with his jumpjets, it was incredibly hard for me to get more than a glancing shot on him.

>>146515708
>just streak my shit up
>just goose 360 no scope my shit up
>>146515835
Steaks fuck lights up true, but you need to get a full lock, fire, and have the missiles hit the target before he gets into cover again.
Landing goose or any projectiles really on a fast light mech playing a cover shooter is a pure guessing game.
>>146515518
Then git gud.
If I want a clan heavy that's just all about the firepower with no gimmics, is ebin or timber better? I guess the ebin has better/higher high mounts and takes up less tonnage, but has less effective pod space than the timber madman because of the engine heatsinks?

Target decay module, seismic sensor, and good old intuition in predicting where your opponent will pop out of.
Lights with small pulses have incredibly short range which means he can only utilize cover near you.
Mining collective is a good map for finding cover, but there are still whole sections of the map where it's limited. Any edge of the map limits his approach significantly.

It's not like people usually get more than three variants of a same chassis anyway, and they'll maybe keep less than that once it's mastered. I don't know why people expected anything else when the game is already full of shitmechs, and the penis hoarder is in Shitmech: The Weight Class. If it's got two usable variants out of seven, that already exceeded what I expected.
Incoming massage Commander, Supreme Mech Commander v0.5 is live!
After a long wait time we finally got a new patch guys. We are bringing you 28 new units, bringing the total amount to 63. There are 6 new Mechs, 9 new vehicles, 4 new Aero, and 8 new structures, many of which change the gameplay dramatically. We also added new weapon systems, and updated pre existing weapons.
We are also officially opening up the floor for model donations. Please contact Kamisama171 if you have any assets you would like to donate.

>how?
You can fit that in the penisgawker easy. Just an XL255, a single jumpjet and all three upgrades - Ferro, endo and doubles.
It's a bit toasty (can only fire three alpha strikes in a row before having to cool off) but it pumps out 99 damage for your troubles.
>dual ER peeps
Yes, it's definitely a bad idea.
Consider this; The panther does PPCs better than the phoenix hawk.
An ERPPC, completely unquirked, will overheat you after 5 shots. That's between the two of them, and with 15 double heatsinks. 50 damage, if you hit all of them in the same component, before you shut yourself down.
>>146565604
>XL255
Part of me really doesn't like that. That's less than 100kph, starting to dip into sub Shadow Hawk speeds.
>>146565898
It this your first shitmech? When the kwirks ain't right, and you weren't born with hardpoints in the right places, you gotta make compromises if you want to accomplish anything.

Heavy lasers are a post-MWO-Clantech weapon. Packs better than pulse laser damage into an ER laser-weighted but bulkier package, but are inherently less accurate about delivering it than Clan ER lasers as well (and have IS-standard ranges). They're first-generation weapons- the improved versions are more accurate but also suffer from gauss-like explosions if critted. Timeline wise, they won't show up until MWO timeskips up to 3059 or so (it's "3053" right now).
To give you an idea, TT stats for a heavy large laser are 18 heat/16 damage/4 tons/3 crits and IS large laser reach. They'd probably have tremendously long burn time in MWO.

What I've been saying that PGI should do for heavy lasers is utilize the same mechanic that the pulse lasers had in MW3. And to an extent flamers have now.
That they don't have a specific burn time, and will cease as soon as you let off the trigger, but they'll need a cooling down period before you can fire for the full duration. Going over the duration limit on a heavy laser should start to drastically increase in heat buildup, as the weapon draws increasing amounts of power to continue operating and heats up the mech. The developers could add a drawback mechanic to stop people from abusing lights to simply poke 1-3 damage every half a second by adding a short burn intensification period, where the heavy laser needs like 0.3 seconds to reach maximum damage tick capability or deals reduced overall damage.
This way clans would get their short range, short burn duration laser weapons that would allow them to utilize their greater mobility over IS for peeking and poking, but firing only for a part of the duration over and over would reduce your overall damage dealt even if it upkeeps damage per second.
>>146568784
Unless you're hurting for hardpoints, I'd rather just use 3 erml in mwo.
In TT: 21 damage, 15 heat, 3 tons, 3 crits.
In mwo: 21 damage, 18 heat, 3 tons, 3 crits.
>>146569489
>pulse lasers had in MW3
This is a fun idea and kind of silly that they didn't implement some kind of duration weapon besides flamer.

>>146572213
Yeah, what else do you want to do with it? The PHX-1 is the one with the large laser range quirk, so unless you want to run a bog standard triple LL build that's the only other one you got.
I mean, you're not THAT bad at spreading damage, right? I feel like Cena is just laughing at you, not me.
>>146568784
Going by MWO rules, the Heavy LL would probably do an extra +1 or +2 damage just like all the other large lasers in the game. If they don't have a longer burn time than the rest (or better yet exactly the same as IS lasers), then they might be useful.
I guess since CERPPCs are gimped by being spread damage weapons the HLL might be worthwhile to take even on larger mechs. HLLs are of dubious usefulness on anything but the most weight-starved mechs on the tabletop when the CERPPC is only slightly heavier and actually smaller.

Hint: just because it has retarded ass quirks doesn't mean you should spend time building around them.
So I just got this Cameron Star Warhorn from the event. What exactly is it?
>>146574106
>what exactly is it?
BWOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGG
>>146574173
I assumed as much, but where do I put it on my robot or whatever?
I didn't realize the Black knights PPC arm actually got FIXED in the rescale patch! Oh happy day!
>>146574312
Select mech -> mech lab -> Cockpit -> Mounted -> click "owned" items -> click Cameron Star Warhorn -> Preview for BWOOOOOOONGS / save loadout for BWOOOOOOOONNNGS on kills
>>146573908
I get hit in the arms whether I'm poking or brawling, it doesn't matter. Maybe a bit more arm damage when poking because that's usually the last thing to return to cover. People tend to go more for my torso or legs when up close for whatever reason.
At least this mech spins like a top.
>all these fellow quirkedlanders in quick match
This mech is actually really enjoyable to play now.
What is this dual linked ballistic weapon I keep seeing people use. it seems to fire 2 bullets at once and looks like it has a rather low cooldown.
>>146577154
double tapped ultra autocannons...?
>>146577154
Clan uacs typically fire bursts.
2 fires a single bullet, 5 fires 2, 10 fires 3, and a uac20 fires 4.
>>146577154
Clan UACs. Fires in bursts, can fire off another salvo during the cooldown but with a chance of jamming.
>>146577302
>>146577325
How are they? They look kinda neat.
>>146577395
Pretty strong, but its easy to spread damage with. You'll tend to miss a couple of shots.
Try a 3x uac5 jm6-dd, it shits out damage at a ridiculous rate.
>>146576538
What's the deal with highlanders? I keep seeing people mention them, is there something they do really well right now?
>turn on overdrive
>overheat by like 3% or something
>head explodes
What the fug
I've cooked myself so badly that I was on orange/red internals on every section before but I've never seen an instant head pop.
>>146580895
Head has less internal structure and it's random chance.
>>146581217
Is the head chance really small then, I've gone over the line way worse numerous times and not instantly gotten headshotted.
>>146581330
Yes because who'd like to have their head instantly explode instead of something more durable taking damage?
>>146579553
Are both highlanders good?
Robots?

What kinda weapons you wanna pack on them? I have a personal inclination toward ballistics so far, but it looks like they are all a bit light on them.

Reminder that Greg is:
- A former (possibly still) roleplaying brony
- Used to trip on /tg/ and was kicked out of multiple roleplaying sessions for being too autistic
- A chronic masturbator who paid for sex and didn't even get it in
- Totaled TWO cars driving in a straight line, blamed it on the wind (it was an SUV) and now wants to buy a motorcycle (KEK)
- Attempted to solicit sex on /soc/ unironically
- Titty raped a literal actual retard
- Unironically bought a pedo wallet and unironically intended to use it, and when confronted on why it was a fucking awful idea he claimed he would pass it off as a "ironic joke". It's now wrapped in duct tape and he still uses it.

desu senpai, the entire fighting games genre is tired and most people are getting bored of it.
It's a genre for niggers and white trash, and they're the only ones to stick with it.
>>146591884
Well to be fair 80% of the scene is on consoles, but that goes hand in hand with niggers and white trash.
Damn the ebin jag is a monster, I should've gotten these before. That's some crazy firepower from a 65t mech.
Is the HBK-IIC any good? It seems like it's really high risk-high reward.
>>146593413
The stock lorebuild is a literal deathtrap, piloting one was an elaborate way for clanners to commit sudoku.
Luckily you can customize it to actually be a decent mech.
>>146593715
I take it you keep the auto cannons, make it faster and give it some better armor?
>>146594137
UAC20s are retarded unless your goal is to hope someone runs into you and doesn't try to run away and you only need one kill.
