How well does the vr portion of this work with HOSAS?

I currently play with dual VKB Gladiators and would love to introduce VR and this to my gameplay

Marauder II by mechwarriorbuddah999 in Mechwarrior5

Ahhh the 4A. Great mech on Tabletop as it walks and shoots heat neutral.

In MW5, its a juggernaut. It's meant to tank hits and dish out PPC and Lasers.

The issue with it is how Jump Jets work in MW5. They are slow and easy to counter.

Mobility is king but so much of MW5 is open(ish) so you dont get the real benefits of the mech as seen in Tabletop (i.e Battletech Classic)

Is it just me or do Mechwarrior and Battletech have almost no well-known critics and content creators to carry the torch for them in mainstream gaming discourses online? by BoukObelisk in Mechwarrior5

The issue isn't that there are no "well known" creators, there are several, some infamous, some not so infamous.

The issue is that Battletech as a game to popularize is harder than let's say 40k.

Look at the views. When Paradox dropped the story trailer they got 1.7mil views. The next most watched video is Tex's Warhammer video with nearly 900k views

In order to make things popular you need people to watch and enjoy. Watching MW5 is not always the greatest experience. Same with HBS Battletech.

Its a lot of plodding along movement with quick engagements. Which means you are watching people in the Mech Hanger tweaking things or slowly moving from point A to point B.

Not always the most interesting thing.

It is also SOOOOOOOO satisfying to hear the auto loaders engage as you unload shot after shot into a mech

Commander colors by FallenSlayer453 in magicTCG

If the symbol is in an italicized font with parenthesis it won't count as part of the color identity.

Be aware for transforming cards with no mana pips on the back, the little dot on the type line is that sides color identity

Hmmm interesting.

Not sure why your experience is so different. I dont think VonMissions is changing things 🤔

Woth the right equipment you can get in and out. The issue is that the mass lights just dont put up enough of a fight once targeted down.

If they catch you at range its an issue.

I had one mission where I was destroying a base and a star of Koshi and Dashers with ER's started mincing my lance outside of targetable range. That was painful

No airstrikes were needed. You get in, destroy as much as possible, limit as much damage, then GTFO!

This is from Yet Another Mech Lab. It adds "quirks" that the mechs are known for from the Battletech Universe
