WELL....110 battles in this thing, and finally had a *good game. Finally. It sits for weeks on end, as...well, I'm a point whore..and to me fun requires a measurement, not running around wildly. I have tried every build...including one ERLarge- really thought this would be a better mech- the others are ok, leveled those up easily..took forever to get this one done A crazy close game, I grew a set and would sneak in behind them, launch UAV's, arty, snipe and run away, but they wouldn't chase...I would cut thru the center of them and take some hits, but they stayed grouped up. I kept my head, and focused on limbs.Focused on cripples. Tried to supply ECM for a bit, then melee/flank them. finally a build that works (for me) in this thing..NOW I may keep it! *good game- your mileage may vary, this is triple the kills and double the damage I've done in this thing since I bought it
