PCC SUCK, all AC SUCK bar AC10s, the shogun type guns SUCK even the long range ones. The game went from missile spam being broken to LL being broken. I think the main reason they are OP is due to the heat and weapon system. Crab is basically better to spam ML and SRMS and use it to target cores at medium range, this is still TERRIBLE compared to a MAD sniping bots via sensor lock half way across the map :\ just dont do anything! Even a crab with loads of LRM + damage and stab do NOTHING. But then i got a MAD and started 1 shotting all the decent mechs collecting 3 parts at a time to snow ball to 75-100 ton mechs only to realise that the MAD is just better :\ then i got my first ANNI and 4 AC10 +4AC which also 1 shot a lot but my atlas, crab, highlander, banshee ect. Then i got a warhammer which felt amazing specially with 4 LL. My first major mech was a griffin, then i got 2 more so i was rolling with 55 ton mechs for a long time. Well im playing on hard and needing 5 mech parts instead of 3 to slow the game down a bit because it just snow balls. Pilot 2 Guts 1, Pilot 1 Guts 2 and Guts 1 Tactics 2 all work. You don't need gunnery spec for this since rear attacks ignore cover. You do need to be vary of melee counterattacks close up though, so choose your firing positions wisely to minimize risk. If you are using a "hail of fire" type Marauder with lots of medium lasers and light autocannons it also makes a decent complementary headcapper with those 8 lasers that you can use to finish off enemies that the Marauder didn't quite manage to kill. Can also perform independent harassing against the enemy while rest of your lance moves to position. If you have DHS at hand you can easily fit it with max armour, good heat sinking and enough firepower to reliably one shot any 'mech in the game. Jump brace towards your target and then use the 250m jump to take aimed shot at their center rear torso.
Battletech best mech full#
Outfit it with full complement of medium, medium pulse and ER small lasers. It's basically Discoback that moves like the Spider.
