Title: New mechwarrior patch
Post by: HellsWarrior on 26/10/2012, 09:39 AM
Ok I have played a few rounds lost 4 of the 5 played. And it is all down to LRMs and scouts.
The new stuff is cool and all but you can't test it coz your dead within 30 seconds after being spotted.

So the next time we drop we need a mix of LRMs and heavy hitters to put that last nail in, LRMs have become even more deadly from looking at the 5 games I played, with being the only person on the team to get to do any damage or kill any thing.

Seems the whole idea of it being premades that are blowing Mechwarrior to bits is bull, Any team with at least 3 ppl on comms 1 scout and 2 LRM boats will be able to turn the tide of a battle.

I watched in one round as a D-DC with 3 LRM 15s melted an Atlas within 20 seconds, seems LRMs hit the target more and effectively at that.

Yeah... I had a quick drop this morning... and I was taken out at range by an AC2 barrage within 20 seconds (no im not kidding). The improved zoom thing is going to make life very difficult.

yeah i read the email this morning about the patch - looks like the new armor is going to come into to play alot more now from what you have seen so far... this is going to be interesting with the whole 4/8 man squad thing (or did they ditch that)

Careful with new  skeleton, heatsink and armor. Once you buy the new stuff you have to pay to go back to std and then you lose the new stuff ie have to pay again for the new stuff. Make sense?

Yeah I did the armor upgrade and then the heatsink upgrade. Then had to buy my  heatsinks all over again.
