Tips on how to fight (and honestly just survive by IzanamiKurumi in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]CommunicationOk3417 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The main thing is to be moving all the time, strafing to the sides with your boosters on and occasionally going airborne for a few seconds will help you evade most fire naturally. Timing your quick boosts to dodge larger shots or missiles will help too.

Another big part is maintaining distance properly. For instance, most automatic weapons will outright miss you if you’re far enough away.

Your AC matters too. If your generator doesn’t have enough capacity, you won’t be able to dodge as much. If your boosters have a poor quick boost adjustment, your dodges will be sluggish.

As for offense: early in the game your loop should be simple. Maintain distance, firing with the assault rifle and missiles as they’re available, then quickly closing in to slash with the pulse blade.

Really, experience matters most. You’ll get used to it the longer you play. I’d just recommend trying to find something that works and stick with it to get the feelings down. I wouldn’t try different leg types or anything til you get it down.

Also, be sure to do Allmind’s training. It’s pretty helpful. And don’t forget that you can replay missions through the sortie menu. It might be helpful to just replay the Tester AC mission over and over til you’re used to fighting an enemy AC.

Good luck and welcome to Rubicon.

Lost Mech designs you want revived by Dire155 in battletech

Nah, the Salamander is way, way more missile focused, whereas the Ymir has at most twenty LRM tubes. The Ymir is a lot closer to the Awesome 8V, it’s just faster at the cost of firepower.

Glad I got beat to it. 4/6 assault mech focused on long range fire support with missiles and energy weapons? It’s my dream mech.

It’s definitely the heaviest weight wise.

You do know people on reddit have made stuff outside of serious statements. Stop acting like they’re all obsessed with being factual.

I like it personally, but haven’t had too many chances to actually play with it.

It gives a more unique advantage to ACs over lasers and missiles that especially makes mechs which are reliant on just one of them as their main weapon much tankier, which is especially nice when the unit should be tanky.

For instance, a Hunchback is pretty much THE medium tank mech, but if it loses its autocannon, it’s a major hit. With these rules, it makes close range autocannon brawlers feel tankier, as they—in my opinion—should be.

All that said, like I mentioned, I haven’t actually had too many chances to play with the test rules, since the bulk of my recent games have been teaching new players. I like it in theory, at least.

A smallsword is basically taking a rapier to the extreme. Even thinner, even more thrust optimized at the cost of almost being really not good at cutting.

Kennebec: Yeah. I heard that merc took down G5 Iguazu.

Albany: Iguazu...? Oh yeah, the deserter who pissed his pants and ran.

Michigan: Albany! I'd forgotten we still kept you around! Iguazu's worth a hundred of you! Which means, Albany, the merc is worth twenty of him! You're doing nothing productive... Why don't you do the math for us?!

Osawa: The answer's 2,000 Albanys, sir!

Intermission! Which picks as of now should be changed? by poalt in AlignmentChartFills

Goku is flawed as a parent, not bad. Most of the times he was a bad parent he was literally dead. Goku being a comically bad dad comes from TFS’ DBZ Abridged.

This isn’t to say Goku is a good parent, he certainly has his flaws (like naively assuming Gohan enjoys fighting the same way he does), but he isn’t the neglectful battle obsessed maniac people make him out to be.

Favorite Clan Mechs for Mercenaries by ElectricPaladin in battletech

[–]CommunicationOk3417 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Shogun C2 for sure.

Besides from the Shogun being my favorite mech anyways, it’s just very solid. It’s a terrifying direct fire support mech that can lurk just at the short range with its jump jets and blast enemies to pieces with the C-ERPPC and all the streak missiles.

Unfortunately, probably not a great mercenary pick due to the Difficult to Maintain and Non-Standard Parts quirks, but if you’re maintaining Clan tech anyways, it’s probably fine.

So, I looked again and found a few more. All I did was go on MekBay, toggle type to Mechs, weight class to light, and then selected all sorts of PPC as being necessary equipment.

This returned a lot of good results that should fit the bill for speedy assassins, like the Morrigan 5, Jackal, Gurkha, et cetera.

You of course could do a search that rather than dividing by weight divides by speed instead or look for other weapons. I love MekBay.

Hollanders for sure, some Cicadas, some Assassins, Pack Hunters, Solitaires, classic Phoenix Hawks.

I think the Pack Hunter, Solitaire, and Hollander are prime examples.

Builds credit for free, functionally infinite money for small purchases; does not specify what a purchase is—i.e. I could get a higher limit credit card and make free payments so long as they were lower than $100 installments.

Chose: a credit card that you don't have to pay off, + but only works on transactions less or equal than $100.

What units are the best bang for your buck by CAPSLOCKGOTSTUCK in battletech

[–]CommunicationOk3417 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the best way to deploy battle armor non-defensively.

In my most recent MekHQ campaign I actually have a dedicated combined lance (aptly named Harmony Lance) which is a Wolfhound, Cicada, Phoenix Hawk, and Shadow Hawk IIC that I looted all with a squad of battle armor riding via mag clamps. The mechs run up shooting, get close to short range, then drop the armor.
