Yo I bought Resistance 1 pack...
and the Enforcers aren't as great as I thought they'd be. Great hitboxes let down by disappointing, Black-Knight-like hardpoint mounts. Probably a great brawler, but the long-mid range stuff comes up real short against Clan-style weapons.

Triple large laser or triple LPL is pretty good at range.

I can not begin to tell you just how horribly wrong you are.
Every enforcer is a power house in its own right, has great hitboxes that make it very XL safe, and its hardpoints let it take on a variety of roles.
ENF-4R 3xLL 2xML 250XL 3xJJ is my prime time Enforcer. This is very much an energy sniper, I run it with MLas range and LLas cooldown modules, 3 jumpjets let you get on top of anything and rain death upon those who dare sully your good name.
ENF-5D 1xAC10 3xML xl300 1xJJ A nasty little piece of work, It can do work at close range but you generally want to stay at the far edge of your Mlas range and be a close in support mech, AC10 Cooldown and Mlas Range modules open up your range bracket and increase your damage significantly. Elited with AC10 cooldown the AC10 can fire disgustingly fast. With good piloting this thing can take down even clan assaults one on one (disclaimer. Kodiak isn't a clan assault, its the physical embodiment of fuck you and thus not covered under the previous statement)
But if you want to be on the front line thick of things, well, then you want to bring big daddy hand cannon
ENF-4P 1xAC20 4xMlas 250XL This chassis doesn't have jump jets, then again you aren't going to be sniper coward shitball in this mech. This mech is about bringing the big boom and enemy doom. AC20 cooldown and Mlas cooldown for maximum DPS.
Enforcers are the best medium IS has. Even with the rescale its still a decent size (though far far less nice than it used to be), capable of hitting targets in many range brackets depending on build, and is overall just a completely superior centurion. Does everything the venerable centurion does, but in a smaller package with better backup weapon potential and longevity.
and I know what you're thinking.
"But Buttcleft, MechLord of my Dreams, you haven't mentioned the 5P, Clearly you think its shit then!"
Oh no, My son, no no no. I don't mention the 5P because there is no need to mention its magnificent majesty. Throw in dual UAC5, UAC5 Modules, and many tons of ammo, and you have a swift, nasty little shit that is fully capable of soloing direwolves in a face tank off. (I'm a shit pilot and even I've managed it, on multiple occasions)
Enforcers are love, life, liberty and the MechWarrior way. Embrace them and they will wrap their cold endosteel bones around you in a protective coffin that only grows stronger at the lamentations of the clans.
There is some allure to the notion of a Centurion-like loadout that is not on a mech wider than a Marauder is long.

And my frothy love affair with the Arctic Cheetah continues. I am always happy when I roll damage such that I'm trotting around at 50% armor or lesss. A bit of timely flanking goes a long way, at that point. Now I understand why I'd sometimes see a Cheetah in a skirmish that just refuses to lie down and die.
My latest and greatest last mech standing blaze of glory saw me three kills. I cored another Cheetah, a King Crab, and an Ebon Jaguar before I got put down by their buddies.
Basil on

I don't disagree with what's on paper, tbh. My main gripe atm is the EN4-P's left arm mounts feel disgustingly low, and I'm not a jump jets kind of guy. It feels like it has the same problems as the Black Knight. 3xLL is a killer combo and I'm really feeling it but the amount of time I spend scraping the ground with them in non-ideal terrain situations is frustrating as hell, and I feel like I'll come across the same problems in a non-brawling situation with the other variants.
Mostly my main gripe is that I currently feel I could achieve very similar ballistic and laser things with a Shadowhawk. I am warming up to it as a dedicated brawling platform, though, but I don't feel like its the all-rounder platform that it was hyped up to be lol

I think I can see words here, but all jumbled up like that..they just make no sense to my humble brain. :rotate:
the only enforcer I really liked in the long run was the 4R
the rescale made it a little bigger, but not so much that it really matters
it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget

So I managed to get my KMDD on a Cyclopse and complete the event.
While I like that they tried to link the Mech the event is for to the event, doing so by painting a giant target on the people trying to do a learder board event is kinda mean.
Though I guess this gives the forum warriors a reason for why the Kodiak had much higher scores than the IS Assault.
The KDK-1 really is just an AS7-D but better in every way.
And the KDK-3 is pretty much a King Crab, but better in every way. The fact they gave any of them quirks at launch is either pandering, or incompetence.

Why not both? Though it fits the over quirked at release, and eventual nerf*.
* - for various levels of nerf, especially if it is a clan mech.
Well, the Cyclops tournament is over and puts the Slepnir(4.1k) and 10-Q(4k) as the standout variants operating somewhere around Stalker/Banshee/King Crab levels if you use the Epic Assault Event as a measure. The rest of the variants cap out around 3,200ish which is Highlander level. I'd probably attribute that to just lack of players, since I'm not sure how well the Cyclops packs sold, and the Hero variant has Meta-Mauler style hardpoints and a CBill bonus that was probably hard to turn down while grinding out points. However, both the S and Q have a 2k point gulf between the bottom and top, whereas the KDK-3 and other variants only had a 1300-1400 split between top and bottom performers, its likely the Cyclops is a less popular and less consistent mech.
Today's saddest thing: Over riding a shut down and firing an alpha instead of a pair. My Cheetah popped a moment after I realised the depth of my mistake.

Eh, beats me in my fresh Battlemaster overriding shutdown to take a shot of opportunity on Boreal and immediately headshotting myself with heat at an irresponsible 102ish%. That PTS change needed to go live when they fixed Artillery Strikes.
Sometimes I think, "man I wish I could be playing MWO right now" and then I remember stuff like that, or my SRMs warping through an entire Dire Wolf and just immediately give up before I even get to my computer.

Yea. I have no where near the enthusiasm i had 2 years ago. Now it's play a couple rounds very rarely and log off mostly unsatisfied. But those occasions where the rounds are good... By God it's some of the best moments in gaming.

Very rarely do those moments exist without other oosiks involved.
I love the B33F videos. They always make me laugh.
That is exactly what the FRR did the night I was on. We'd have a group of mediums clump up and run into their ranks. They (being the savage clanners that they are) started the famous "squirrel" formation and everybody would collapse on the mediums. The Long Tom would activate and decimate their ranks. Think the best we did was 6 of them with 4 of us.

It appears to be a solid IS Assault overall.
That was not a mistake. It is the Oosik way.

My first time hitting four digits!
Welcome to the 1k club.
What mech did you hit it in?
Did it ever.
Slapped a UAC20 and some medium lasers on and went to work. This was game two with the thing. A slugfest on both sides, by the numbers.
Hellbringers are certainly stronk.
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
Did someone invoke The B33f? 'Cause he dropped a new vid.

I hope that sells millions of copies, and lay the foundation for maybe getting another MechCommander game.
I love me some mech commanding.
