    I went in for the ECM Archer since that will be my last purchase in a long time. But to be honest, I really think I shouldn't have and just waited to see how well they were.

    I know it's probably not going to get much in the way of quirks, but damn is this tempting: Mock ARC-T: 4xLL, ECM, 300STD, 17 DHS. It's like a poke-ier, ECM-bubbled, Tbolt without the quirks (as far as we know). I loves me some LL's for CW.

    Frankly I'm interested in the Archer because I've never done LRM support before and they seem like they would be ok even without perks.

  • BetsuniBetsuni UM-R60L Talisker IVRegistered User regular
    Yeah, my justification was that it would be my IS Mad Dog with missiles and lasers. Plus I am with @OpposingFarce with that I've never done a missile support mech. Knowing that it will be subpar to the Mad Dog is ok with me too.

    Also, does anyone know if the GRF-2N has made it into the game for C-bills yet? Smurfy seems to think it is, and I'm still thinking I want one for a drop deck. Or maybe I break down and get Archers with the Hero for a non-light ECM, but I really want to see the Quirks before I jump on that bandwagon.

    Yep, GRF-2N is available for CBills.

    Baller. Definitely gotta pick up a few of those now. I'm kind of digging an idea like this for CW: GRF-2N: ERPPC, 4xSRM-4(3t), ECM, 280STD, 1xJJ. Use the PPC to poke (+40% velocity quirk), then the SRMs once in range for brawling. It's a little light on ammo, and very trying-to-do-everything, but I feel like it might have potential.

    Hrm. I really hope the Archer quirks come through. That ECM Hero is just so tasty looking, it almost makes me get out my wallet. I know it's getting hit repeatedly with nerf bats, but until they stick a fork in it, ECM is still good, so for maximum bubblage I'm thinking some combination of Griffins and Archers.
    Just from the outside looking in that doesn't look very good to me. 1 ERPPC is a trivial amount of poke and opens you up to losing trades very badly against Clan counterpoke and 3xSRM4 by itself is 'okay' in terms of close range punch but very ammo limited and hard to use at midrange or in certain types of fights. You have basically no options at around 400m, as well, either close and/oror die or get in cover and run away to poke again.

    Because I was given the Archer pack, and bought the hero upgrade, I fully expect the Archer to have the worst quirks IS has ever seen, because lolpgi and the general fuck IS attitude.

    Why do so many maps have to be obscenely hot? And who would want to own these planets, anyway?

    You know what, Jade Falcon? If you really want to own this plant with surface temperatures averaging 462°C, a surface pressure of 92 bar, a gravity of 0.9, and a sulfuric acid atmosphere, go for it. You can have it.
    I just described Venus.

    More reason to nerf Clans; driving up property values till the IS can no longer afford to live.

    I would describe the 3xLPL Arrow as warm, not hot.

    I mean, sure, its possible to over heat if you go up against several mechs in a brawl with your fire button mashed, but.. That's not a situation you want to be in anyway. You are a 45ton mech, you are most dangerous as a satellite or flanker/backstabber.

    Currently, Clans get 240t drop decks, and IS gets 250t decks. It's up to each player to use their tonnage, so there's no guarantee the IS side is strictly out-weighting the Clan side.

    Otherwise, nope.

    LL and LPL generate the same amount of heat. its really not bad. And with the requirks, this thing should be a terror at 400m. 33pt alpha poptart all day.

    Technically, Clans get 250t and IS gets 265t now.

    The reason I say the LPL is hotter than the LL, is because all the extra weight requires you to go XL and you still have less heat sinks.

    The only difference between Tier 2 & 3, is that in Tier 2, you can no longer be matched with Tier 5.

    160-265 for IS, but really, that seems to be a big issue with balancing. Back in the original days of the Clans, games would be based around the IS getting a 50% tonnage advantage.

    I'm sure this has been brought up before, and I'm just late to the party.

    So I made this thing over the weekend: MAD-5D: XL 350, 19 DHS, 1 JJ, 5 Large Lasers

    Its not as hot as you'd think (alpha for 70% heat) with the 10% heat quirk, and is actually fast which is nice for a change of pace. Damage is meh (lol IS) with only a 45 point alpha, but with a cooldown module you can keep up a pretty serious stream of fire. Staggering your shots lets you do about 3 and a half rounds of fire even on hot maps like Vitric. I can't tell if I like it more than the LRMs. No matter what it just feels bad. If it just had a second energy hardpoint in that right torso I think it'd be pretty good. You could do 6 MPL 2 SRM6+A, or 2 PPCs 4 MLs. I really hate LRMs and it just isn't tanky enough for how little DPS it puts out with SRMs.

    I dunno, didn't seem too bad. I lost all my armor before losing a side torso. Your front profile is so small, most people aim CT while you are aiming at them. I'm thinking I'll probably just trade out the lasers for ER Larges and save this thing for Boreal and Emerald Taiga.

    Haaaaah, no, sorry I lied. I'm going to start running my Battlemasters again with two Blackjacks. I might run Jagermechs too, for awhile, just because I miss real dakka. Not the pretend dakka of the Marauder that looks like real dakka but tastes like lite beer.

    I dunno, didn't seem too bad. I lost all my armor before losing a side torso. Your front profile is so small, most people aim CT while you are aiming at them. I'm thinking I'll probably just trade out the lasers for ER Larges and save this thing for Boreal and Emerald Taiga.

    Haaaaah, no, sorry I lied. I'm going to start running my Battlemasters again with two Blackjacks. I might run Jagermechs too, for awhile, just because I miss real dakka. Not the pretend dakka of the Marauder that looks like real dakka but tastes like lite beer.

    Heh...I've had the opposite consistently happen to me. People always aim at and blow off my RT before realizing that no, I, in fact, am not running my Marauder with an XL engine. And now, just to spite you, here's a quadlaser (mediums) to your face.

    bought a jester with all my freebie MC, it seems alright (it's fun to put weird color combinations on it)

    had the most success so far with 4xLL, trying to decide if it's worth making a couple of them ERs. Maybe for CW.

    The events has a chance to give you mc every draw. Most of the time it just gives you air strikes.

    I really dont like the idea of an XL engine on a mad. Seems like it would giving up the mads extreme tankyness which is its strongest point.

    When I encounter a cheeky guy like that, I just torso twist away from the side he wants to hit. Sometimes they'll just stand there waiting for you to expose yourself again. Sure you aren't doing damage any damage yourself, but you're already in a Marauder so small loss...

    As it requires spending money or winning faction matches, I feel like that caps my possible draws to 75.

    Where you go when you want to see just how obscenely unbalanced the game is in favor of the clans.
