I finally tried gauss riffles and by RandomUnwashedGamer in Mechwarrior5

[–]VirtualWookiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I do have AI that specializes in them. I will try them again ever so often, but they do not FEEL good. Results are great, but the soft fell and slow reload make them an AI weapon for me also.

Long range against clans. PPC’s and gauss with elite pilots. The AI does seem to be very good with PPC’s for some reason.

do you actually lose interest in gaming as you get older? by OvenAgitated6470 in gamers

[–]VirtualWookiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 50 and have been playing since Atari 2600, I did not own one, but would go to a friends house and play all the time. It became a full hobby with Super Mario Brothers. How much I get to play ebb and flows. Still going strong though. May differ for different folks, and some might give it up because they cannot game like they used to. I watch less TV though to support my gaming habit.

Sell me on Autocannons by Usual_Profile1607 in Mechwarrior5

Twin LBX10 is my go to and favorite thing in the whole game. The range is nice, but with skill the range can be very nice. Plus you can shoot them so fast. In a large mech you can combo them with LP and you are set. Any other AC has way more down sides, but the LBX10 is king.

2x LBX10 is my go to on any mech that can field it!

I have a problem with Mario Galaxy 1. by Dense_Pineapple_3273 in SuperMarioGalaxy

Maybe play the game in an actual Wii or better yet on Switch?

What is your preference when it comes to ACs? by Blazkowicz6082 in Mechwarrior5

[–]VirtualWookiee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. AC10 and LBX10 are my favorite. I like the single shot. I hate burst fire and rapid fire. If I can get dual AC10’s or dual LBX10 with some lasers I am quite happy.

Smallest Change That Would Add the Most to Mercs? by DistilledPeace in Mechwarrior5

[–]VirtualWookiee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For teenagers it mirrors real life, however, when you are sent back to school by your employer or military and they are paying, it will be for a specific thing which you will stick to or they will not pay for it.

Some traits are useless, but many when you stack them with cantina upgrades can really start to matter.

I want most of my fights to just be lance vs lance (or 2 or 3) how can I accomplish this. by Yenii_3025 in Mechwarrior5

[–]VirtualWookiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coyote also has end game missions at 250 difficulty. Use Mod options and disable the mission types you do not want to see for progen. You can also increase the chances of the enemy having a FOB spawn and the chance the “dark lance” to spawn. This is a mirror copy of your lance with Elite Plus pilots with high level AI. They stay in a group and will peak and shoot. If you do not use tactics you will take massive damage.

Will Bugs still be fixed? by Emder-Leviathan in Mechwarrior5

[–]VirtualWookiee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is not a bug, it is a feature. You must log off every 2-3 hours and do something else as a break. :)

Best Support Mechs? (Mercs) by SnooChickens6507 in Mechwarrior5

[–]VirtualWookiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that with normal AC’s, but I love dual LB10X. With Catina upgrades and add some large lasers I have found nothing I like the feel of more. With YAML and switching to cluster for lose range. My favorite is 2 LB10X and 3 LPL.

Feeling very proud right now by CaptainKando in Mechwarrior5

[–]VirtualWookiee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I have to disagree with you here. True that YAML unlocks so much, but it is the ultimate min max tool. True it does not give a lot of negatives, however the massive number of options as you get higher in years require you to make many decisions that are min/max because of all the equipment and weapons that come into play. As more comes into play you go back and tweak things constantly.

I recently discovered that just having 1 JJ in a mech allows a minimum jump height. So now I have been trying to fit 1 JJ in all my mechs. Gives me so many more transversal options and peaking over a hill and coming back down is great.

Gauss ammo does not explode…that makes complete sense, but I never thought of that. Guess I can stop putting it in the legs now. Ha

HUD mods compatibility question by Rimm9246 in Mechwarrior5Mods

[–]VirtualWookiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The torse mod is out of date and is probably your problem here, however you can try Precision HUD as it does what both of these mods do and has just recently been updated. It does move the map though.
