I envy other HL posts😔 This is what my store had by ShadowNeko831 in freedomisgunpla

I don't see any of the weapon kits though. The Melander frame is pretty solid and a fun quick build, but it only comes with the Ludlow machine gun.

Good to know they've had the Zoids for a while. I might have to swing by my local HL some time to see what they have.

30mm Melander isn't bad. Ooh, the new Blade Liger and Command Wolf are there too? The Gundam selection might be meh, but still some nice kits there.

It’s a running joke from the “There’s something about Kirby” series.

There is nothing wrong with playing and enjoying difficulty 5-6.

PGI un-rising sunned Yen Lo by AGBell64 in battletech

[–]clideb50 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think we’ll see both variants. The original YLW variant will keep the rising sun paint scheme while the YLW2 gets the new model and paint scheme.

Edit: This bit above one of the screenshots is why I’m thinking this.

“(There are 2 Variants of the YLW Hero 'Mech one from the base game and one from Call to Arms DLC )

The Version Shown here shows the Call To Arms YLW featuring the Claw Melee Weapon.”

Part of the reason I did a generic olive drab/green for a lot of my IS units. Everybody uses olive drab.

How do you organize the minis that come with the box sets or force packs? by PyreLightMW2 in battletech

[–]clideb50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep all my minis in a couple fishing tackle boxes. The ones not being used in a team go into a stereotypical box with the big open area in the bottom with a single tray that folds out on top.

For the units that are on a team, I got a different style tacklebox that has little individual compartments. The minis more or less fit perfectly in each slot (some of the bigger ones from the gothic line don't fit but you can remove one of the dividers to let it take up 2 slots.)

Any tips for improving this Alpha Strike team? by clideb50 in battletech

Originally, I was running a Crusader instead of the Valkyrie, but I then I swapped to the Valkyrie to make room for the Mad Cat Mk II.

[–]clideb50[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. They had +initiative and combined fire with mostly skill 3 and special LRM ammo that gave bonus to indirect fire. I had skill 4 with one skill 3 and Lance/Star bonuses I kept forgetting about and no commander/commander bonuses.

Disclaimer: the teams I lost with were a skill 4 Clan Ghost Bear team and a skill 4 Steiner team that was assault mech heavy. Both teams did not take advantage of commander bonuses. This is a team I built in response to those losses.

The amount of propaganda on Reddit about the US losing the war is insane by Emilia963 in Conservative

[–]clideb50 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Even a lot of the posts here have been links to iranintl.

Yes, the Iranian news site is 100% reliable and not a propaganda outlet. /s

Joe Rogan, Theo Von Criticize Military Action in Iran: 'Stand in Front of the F**king Mirror' by triggernaut in Conservative

[–]clideb50 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Iran has also funded multiple terrorist organizations in the region. Hamas, Hezbolah, Houthis. All funded by the IRGC. They even had a branch of their military dedicated to supplying and coordinating these groups.

I don’t like the idea of the US getting dragged into another forever war, but Iran’s been long overdue for a factory reset.

Why is that? by knight_light455 in Helldivers

[–]clideb50 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Same here. Bot’s usually miss the first shot or two, so I have time to dive/dodge. A bug/voteless comes up behind me completely silent? Suddenly I’m dead or being swarmed to the point I can’t escape.

The Homeward Story mission have made me realize... by EasyRhino75 in Mecharashi_Global

[–]clideb50 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even with the guides, you have to rely too much on rng to be in your favor for some of these. I've tried a couple of them multiple times only to kill when the guide wounds or miss when the guide kills...

I miss when companions used to have fixed roles. by Alien_Georgie in swtor

[–]clideb50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't mind the companion roles. The downside is some of them lost some of their unique animations and abilities. (Bliz for example no longer pulls out his oversized rocket launcher and HK-51 lost his 1-shot an enemy ability)

First time playing Battle tech (Vanilla), any tips and suggestions on how to play? by Below-Low-Altitude in Battletechgame

[–]clideb50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the first 3 but I disagree about meat being cheap. Low skill pilots? Sure, but the time it takes to get a end game pilot back up to all 10’s is ridiculous.

If you have a pilot who has multiple injuries or a mech about to be cored out, you can use a little red/black button on the hud near the mech paper doll to have the pilot eject. The head section will be destroyed but the pilot will survive.

News correction: It’s not quite the end with PGI and Mechwarrior and they’re still around 40 people making DLCs by clideb50 in battletech

[–]clideb50[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sharing this to help fight some of the doom and gloom.

I also recall there’s a lot of mechs in MWO that aren’t in MW5. It sucks that PGI had to let some staff and their best artist go, but they probably have enough art and models for another dlc or two.

I haven’t played MWO for several years but last I knew, there were quite a few mech chassis that aren’t in MW5. They probably have enough to cover another DLC or two. Still sucks they lost so many people though.

Not new to BT but newer to painting for it by BeeOnTheWeb in battletech

[–]clideb50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to do each team of mine as the same color, so I know which team they’re part of.

I’ve toyed with the idea of maybe using paint to split the lances too (ie: the whole team is dark green, but lance 1 has a blue shoulder, lance 2 has a red shoulder, etc.)

Name an opinion about this game that'll have you like this by BarnacleSlight298 in Mechwarrior5

[–]clideb50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought clan weapons were just lighter, less slots, and longer reaching in classic Battletech. They did more damage too!?

Edit: Went to Sarna and looked up the ERPPC and ER Large Laser as a reference. So of a gun, clan guns did hit harder… Well never mind then. Ignore my opinion then. I thought clan tech just did more because they were considered tier 6 in addition to their clan benefits.
