Official MechWarrior Online Thread (NDA Lifted!)

The command console is what it says,when you press B to open the map you can also open the command console top left to give orders on the fly.it's usefull for pubs where you don't have guys on TS but mostly the players will just ignore it.(they don't like sitting still much so they end up dying one by one when they go over a hill with a ton of enemies at the other side)

Cool,Most people run an XL in an Atlas to free up space.By the time you lose a torso you are probably close to death even without an XL engine.

Do note that the XL engine is expensive to repair on larger mechs.

It's till incomplete,the repair bill for these 2 are pretty high when i lose and even when i win it takes about 80-90% of my payment to repair my mech.

OK thanks for the info.

Yeah I guess you have a point with the XL Engine. I think I'll go with the Atlas AS7-K. It's got 2 AMS points, and the XL Engine already.

I see Open Beta starts Monday, and everything will be reset again.

So your Awesome is a LRM boat it seems eh? Mhm..

I get roughly 250ms with WebAfrica.
 
Yep,Awesome is weak in close range so you mostly just use it with long range weapons.I exchanged 2med pulse lasers for a PPC.

I get a 280-400ms ping,it's usually stable at around 280-300ms.

They really need to bring out closer servers,people with 30ms ping headshot lights at full speed while i can't even headshot a moving awesome.

Depends what role you want to fill.

A1-Indirect bombardment (a never ending stream of missiles that do medium damage,prevents enemy from returning fire on your friendlies)

C1-Direct fire support (You aplha strike with your missiles on a target in line of sight for devastating damage,best used with a tag.Also stay close to your team and don't get focused)

C4-Indirect firing support (Large missile pods that do allot of damage in one alpha over range usually on large targets)
K2-Sniping (Either duel Gauss for 30dmg in one hit or duel PPC's for 20dmg with a few other weapons for backup)

The Cockpit on a Catapult is extremely easy to hit so beware of other snipers and don't stand still if someone has you in their line of sight.

Basically you redirect damage to your arms and side torso while pounding critical enemy mech weapons,at the end of the match you only repair your internals (or you can leave them) and then join a game again.The point is to stay alive as long as possible and tank for your team while doing damage to critical enemy components when they get bored shooting you.
