    Why would you do that for a single SRM 6.You will degrade TC for artemis on a single SRM 6, when your primary weapons are the small pulse lasers to open armor and kill with machine guns..

    I really didnt want to post on that thread the ace of spades with hellbringer. I made this thread so people that achieve ace of spades with this mech can post it here.

    The benefit of a TC2 over a TC1 does not worth the second ton. On the other hand, SRM6s benefit a lot from artemis, doesn't matter if you have 1 launcher or 6. You spend 4.5 tons on that missile launcher, loading more ammo that it probably requires, I'm surprised you dismiss the opportunity of improving its efficiency at the cost of a mere ton.

    I hear that, but the "most kills" thread's purpose is precisely to prevent the forum to be flooded under like this one.

    @epikt, don't worry your little heart. He can post Ace of Spades for each mech variant if he wanted to. It's a very specific achievement.

    @Vergere , then why not a "666 match score in a Locust" thread? or whatever thread that will probably gather only one entry, for the self satisfaction of the OP who think their achievement is too special to be mixed with the masses.
    But that's why I'm not a mod, I'm such a nazi when it comes to keep a forum straight. :oops:

    Too special to mix with the masses....So tell me why there are 1000+ damage threads to almost every variant and not 1 for all.

    And no there is no ace of spades thread anywhere for all variants just the most kills one that does not qualify for ace of spades since you need at least 8.

    This was not made for my self satisfaction but for people to post here their ace of spades with the hellbringer variant and comment how efficient the variant they made it was.

    That's your opinion, respected.I prefer the extra bonus a TC2 will give me over a TC1 rather than improve 1 SRM 6 launcher.

    Well, I have to say, +A does help quite a bit with SRM6, so it might be a good idea to put that on. If not, SRM4 is better, as they perform quite nice even without +A. But some prefer the more spread out SRM6 for various reasons when used in only a single hardpoint or two, so it is a matter of playstyle.

    As for TC, TC1 i good, TC2 seem not to worth the extra ton. Not to say higher TC is bad, the TC4 seems to be quite nice indeed.

    I would change it like this:


    But I think this would give you a better result in general

    Calm your bits a little with the newbie. People will learn, eventually. :smug:

    Well, I would be all for a unique 1000+ thread. That being said, there are much more 1000+ games than Aces of spades (something like 50 times more) so there is material for multiple threads.

    Now, let's wait and see if this thread gets another submission...

    Fact is, I have not gotten my Ace of Spades yet, but I have my own stack of 1000+. So I guess it is way easier to get 1000+.

    Oh, can you get Ace of Spades in CW? Seems to be a good place to farm that.

    Yes to 1) - 1k+ is a lot easier and no to 2) - CW doesn't count here.

    In a way, high damage mechs are ill-suited to acing. Your DWF/BNC/STK isn't going to arrive to 8 separate homicides in the course of your 3-7 minute round very often, much less be in the position/situation to go land the final blow for all of them. A more mobile mech that can pursue killable mechs without utterly compromising its positioning will have a lot more opportunities.

    Well, got my AoS in my DWF. Was a 9 kill round actually, but didn't even break the 1k.

    I'd say that 75%+ of my dozens of aces have been in lights, even though light matches aren't even the majority of my drops.

    Nope, only in "regular" drops.
    Same for death star, philanthropist and cie, it would be too easy in CW, and kind of pointless. But they could add similar CW specific achievements, that would be fun.

    You can get it in 12man and private too, so the point is kinda moot.
    I mean, I was thinking about getting a private achievements patches going, with the goal being getting some of the harder ones."liquid metal" dude.

    Are you sure you can unlock achievements on private matches? iirc you can't.

    indeed, you can only get achievements in Public Queue, not Private Lobbies or CW. Many people exploited server issues and achieved Death Star though, which makes it 100% pointless. Don't understand why PGI hasn't removed the false titles...

    Anyway, ontopic for this thread, Vergere is correct.

    However @epikt is also correct that we shouldn't have threads for every epic feat in every mech section. It's fine, but there has to be a line somewhere. The fact that you can only truely achieve Ace of Spaces once makes it more worthy of a signle thread like the "Most kills in an MWO match" thread. But I'm not going to nit-pick.

    I just drop feat posts/round stories in the 1k thread. Usually I hit 1k if anything interesting happens, if not, bragging is bragging so no harm.
