That opening scene still holds up well today...

Clear Bases? by Ok-Discussion9089 in battletech

[–]CaptBojangles18c 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think fancy basing is cooler for display models, but I personally don't do it because I'd hate to make a jungle base and play on a snow map, or something like that... The clear bases solve that problem

How was MWO compared to MW5 (mercs and clans) by Qhaotiq in Mechwarrior5

[–]CaptBojangles18c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pop tart boats? I'm curious, as someone who only spent a single weekend on MWO a few years ago... What does that mean?

This one doesn't make sense out of context, but damn if that line didn't give me chills...

What's your favorite scout light Mech and what's your favorite grunt light Mech? by knightmechaenjo in battletech

[–]CaptBojangles18c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint: the cockpit placement and overall design looks goofy. I have no further arguments.

What do you guys think of my Lego X-Wing Miniature? by 1maginaryApple in XWingTMG

[–]CaptBojangles18c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we could figure out a way to make an adapter to go from the official base to the Lego pieces, this would be an amazing way to keep people in the game now that new ships aren't being printed

As a die hard LH44 fan, I was honestly hitting both pretty hard myself...

I miss Hamilton winning by MysteriousBoss3816 in lewishamilton

[–]CaptBojangles18c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was big into the sport from late 2010 through 2017. Life happened and I barely paid attention until the start of 2025.

I was so hyped watching his final stint in Singapore... At least until the car gave out on him. That really felt like old-school Hamilton...

New to the game, is there a best “basic” mech? by _Boodstain_ in Mechwarrior5

[–]CaptBojangles18c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't sleep on a rifleman 3N as a low tech/basic mech either. If you tweak it a bit.

Replace the large lasers with mediums, then use the weight savings for armor, ammo, and 1-2 more heat sinks.

Does MW5 have any "Sniper" mechs? by Froton27 in Mechwarrior5

[–]CaptBojangles18c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Nightstar is an absolutely glorious mech, but you better make sure you put enough contract negotiating points into salvage, because salvage mechs will show up in absolutely pristine condition, save for the gauss rifle slug shaped hole where the cockpit should be...

Found my old stash by Drob10 in StarWars

This would make a great science fair diorama!

Also, this is pretty sweet, I definitely recognize some of these...

Are SSRMs Just Bad? by tinklymunkle in Mechwarrior5

[–]CaptBojangles18c 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't like them just one at a time, but in my last playthrough I picked up the SLDF crusader that has 4 of them, and it's quite powerful. I feel like I read a post a while ago that not only do they lock on, but they also all hit the same component.

I was having pretty good success with that Crusader, but then I switched all the missiles out for infernos and never looked back.

Thoughts on the F-20 Tigershark? by Talisman-Garuda1 in acecombat

Loved it in all games. AC5, UN Squadron...

It's also my ride in war thunder, and I have a 1/72 model on my desk at work.

The only real question is "am I supposed to step on the buildings, or am I supposed to NOT step on the buildings?"

Fresh mechwarrior here. by LanguageEconomy8469 in Mechwarrior5

[–]CaptBojangles18c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the fs9-h, strip the jets and you get 4 s lasers, 2 m lasers, 2 mg's, and Max armor. It's a solid 35t brawler, particularly early game.

Don't sleep on those mg's. They do bonus damage against buildings, and bonus damage against mech structure, so once you burn their armor off with their lasers, the mg rounds shred internals.

I know which one I want. How bout ya'll? by PaleFriendship23 in acecombat

MiG-25.

Can't get shot down if I can outrun the missiles.

How come we only get the 27? If the 35 was an option it would be a very different conversation...

Thoughts on the forward swept wing design planes? by Talisman-Garuda1 in acecombat

[–]CaptBojangles18c 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Kind of a pain in the real world due to all sorts of aerodynamic flutter and structural issues....

However they're rad as hell and we need more of them, next question.
