@Russ_Bullock announces #MWO hit detection / HSR fix imminent

Had a match this weekend in the Spider 5V: 5 Kills, 6 Assists. And the kills were legitimate. Sneak up behind an enemy, even if its a stalker, and start pulverizing his rear with 2 MPLasers. In another game, a Cidada and the same spider took out probably 4-5 mech through a combined effort, even a 4 AC5 Cataphract went down (not without a good fight).

Light can be the kings of the battle field, more so even than DDC atli. The amount of seconds your weapons stay on target will translate into how much damage you will deal, the thing is, you can't keep your weapon on target if your target is a light and you're a heavy. The best anti light weapon is an SSRM or PLasers (they deliver more damage faster). All the AC/PPC weapons are hit or miss, if you hit, you can kill him, but it's really hard to hit. LRMs are a bit of a problem and a light mech needs to learn how to avoid them.

 

I have killed a lot more since 3PV in my raven and spider.

When in 3PV, seismic will not alert you to my presence hear:
