Your most cringeworthy builds.

I'd find this loadout weak on a Jenner but believe me or not it was a Pretty Baby

The worst being, if you want to fit a STD400 (he ran at 400 engine speed) on this thing you don't have room for armor. Even with low equipment and upgrades you still have to shave half of the armor:

You find this absurd?
How about going XL400 then, where with full armor and no upgrades you still have 12.5 unused tons and you prefer to fill it with DHS (I suppose) instead of heavy weapons?

edit: damn he has an AMS too => definitely the XL build. I just hope he got it with the Boar Head

 

Lol not only is it an awful build but the pilot had accuracy problems.

Of course at the end someone said it might have been stock... ooops. :blush:

 

I think that's the trial Kitfox weapon configuration, in fact.

And yes, is an awful weapon selection :/

 

Don't feel bad Rem, I made fun of some guy in the trial Awesome spec a few pages back But yeah, the stock loadout for the KFX-Prime is just awful. A few tweaks can make it serviceable, but left as-is, it is incredibly weak.

U are wrong with me. I do like LRMs, and i think they are quite balanced, but something shoud be done to also balance ECMs. Not changing it, but, like in World of Tanks with artis, making sure both teams have the same amount of ECMs.

What i cant see is how in hell a mech that is supposed to be running at 140kph to survive is able to lock on targets...Must be painfull...Also if u enter in mele with them, fairly common, u have a range-limited weapon, making u 5-7tons lighter (the weight of the LRM equipt).

Its just cringeworthy

 

My best guess? The LRM tubes are 15's. He might have considered running two 10's instead of the 20. Faster RoF, same number of missiles, and doesn't fire a 15 / 5... and if you want to chain salvo, you can do that too. That's my theory at least.

 

With the XL i was able to fit this. Could work, its an Assault with a Medium speed

More insults against hamsters, and you're both in for a lot of trouble, sons.

 

Saw this today. Yes he did not put on JJ. Yes, no weapon other than LRM, and not alot of ammo. Runs out early 5 minutes in the game. Engine speed guessed from the top speed. The thing is, he probably has less ammo than this even.

Well, at least i give him that a Treb with 3x LRM15s looks really cool

 

I saw this guy too. At least I think, he was on my team and announced he piloted an LRM45 treb. My first thought was "WTF! he meant LRM30 right?"
Anyway, I NARCed all the way, and at the end of the game a treb had dealt 900+ damage so I supposed it worked. But looking at your reverse engineering and seeing no room of improvement, except if he placed all his missiles and a massive arty no way that build can achieve such a score. It must have been another trebuchet (damn, two trebs in one team!), but unfortunately I didn't save the game on video so we can't be sure.

 

Funny is that an lrm30 would have a much better score due to the amount of ammo it can carry. This simply does not work due to ammo constrain.
Maybe it would work if he strip down to XL180, but definitely not the one I see.

Those kind of builds are a waste of a mech. Get within 180 m of him in whatever, and have a free damage collection party.

And I know I'm insisting on it a lot, but the reason that kind of build exists (LRM only, no defensive weapons whatsoever) is what it is, and the only solution is, also, the one it is.

Anyway back to the cringeworthy builds. This I spotted today, but didn't take a screenshot. Engine estimated from top speed which I think was around 90kph (but I don't know; seriously what anyone would want a XL200 for?. I hope not to build this...). Ammo load I don't know, when I started spectating the guy was already out of ammo so can't guess the total load he was carrying. In any case...well... it's bad.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=35&l=17cc493355fdac76240dd68916f52fb43710924c

Maybe he had speed tweak, a smaller XL engine and more ammo (and heatsinks!). I really don't know. All I know is that I was "what the ... " when I spotted it.Maybe he had less armor and more ammo. I also don't know, this is just a guesstimation of something that left me with my mouth open and my brain molten.

 

He he I saw someone like that the other day. He was doing ok sitting on a perch but only because the enemy was ignoring him to massacre our company. He was just too slow to relocate and when he tried he died to a 2 ERLL Raven 3L charging him over rough terrain. Hint advanced zooming a very fast moving target thats minimising a target profile to you never ends well.

 

Ah, the Gauss raven. It can actually work at times, mostly cause people ignore it. IF he is a good shot he can be of some help. I prefer PPC though in this case, no ammo limit.http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=35&l=002e3fade50e3132f8e9bea41e72d4529547d386

 

... and a decent top speed...

 

You're such amateurs

It's a build I actually used, with more success than I ever hoped for.
The RVN-4X is a great chassis for crazy overpowered builds. An other I enjoyed is the double UAC:

hear:

 

You would probably get 1000dmg games with a minibike with a peashooter, Epikt, much more to get some great scores with those builds. But your average PUG...let's say no, they can't, and those builds in their hands would be a pretty strong fail

 

Héhé, 1000dmg, not even close! But I had some games with like 2 kills and 400+dmg, which was unexpected with what was at first a joke build.
(few months ago I had the project of doing a frag movie with overpowered light mechs like this one and other gauss spiders, but never finished it )

 

Gauss Spider!!
