220 Missiles on a Dervish! - Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Modded | YAML + Solaris Showdown 37

[@armegedn]

That action pose you made while waiting for the LRMs to finish firing was hysterical. Had to go back and watch it several times. Thanks for the great content.

[@jbuck9821]

It isn't the crit splitting, it's the Dan's. When you fill the slots of the location (torso, arm, etc.) it completes that location with the weapons. So those additional slots are still there, and can be filled. Just not visible while the slot is filled. Also, if you read the Void Signature System, it lists "When Active Disables Sensors And ECM." That is why you can't maintain locks until you are close. The Null system does not disable sensors.

[@peppermill7163]

Maybe add a UAV to the Dervish? Would that let you target with VSS running? I haven't tried it.

[@jbuck9821]

@@peppermill7163 Possible. But I have a feeling it will be lumped in with the mech's sensors, and therefore not useful. But I can try it out.

Dan's equipment comes from the Yet Another Weapon Emporium mod. So does the Chaingun.

[@Baraz_Red]

Seeing the -300 tons and 50 Heat Sinks in one slot just totally turned me off and made me lose interest in watching the result...

[@Specter-wt1wt]

@@Baraz_Red as he said in an earlier video he is going to test it out for the sillyness, since he like most of us are in the MW5 clans waiting room.

Nice.

[@bjorntrollgesicht1144]

Here are some ideas: 1) Cram as many PPCs into a single 'mech as you can 2) Cram as many artillery guns into a single 'mech and create a walking artillery battery 3) How many flamers can fit into a single 'mech and how fast can it go? 4) Burst fire autocannons! Dakka dakka dakka! Moar dakka! 5) Can you make a 'mech fly across an entire mission map? 6) Fight on arenas for money, fly around industrial hubs to find the most stupidly OP pirate weapon 7) Build those BARA 'mechs in your storage! You're goofing around anyway! 8) Play whack-a-mole with light 'mechs and a hammer 9) Build the most devastating, world annihilating alpha strike in existence to get at least 10k damage per mission!

[@keithgolden77]

I would put those LRMS into an archer, the diagonal nature of the launchers on it would be more ideal for better firing.

[@jonaslidstrom7006]

That extra slot thing must be fun if you want to put a canon in an arm or something

[@FunkThompson]

Binary and the like could be fun with the weight caching and Dan's heat sinks? High weight, high heat, but not too many slots compare to ballistic / missile? Slots gonna be the bottleneck there, not tonnage :D

[@thomashauptli9851]

I would play Dans -300t with ballistics and put everthing in it. Like with a Warhawk with 11 Hardpoints or so.

@@s.h.nourani5469 thx was not sure if Direwolf or Warhawk😅

with dans running a energy boat dire wolf is the best option (a ppc-x variant for dueling and solaris, and clan er large pulses for anything else) runns cold at 97 kph with 200+ armor in all locations and can take an atlas head clean of at 800 meters. for medium the nova with all large lasers is also a beast 130 kph with 12 clan large lasers is silly.

[@FunkThompson]

The Missile Monster may work better in NPC AI lancemate hands? But yeah, massed MRM's may be the better bet. That said, you want that weight caching in something with lots of hardpoints and ones you can use for low-slot, high-weight weapons. LBX-2, UAC/2, RAC/2, Binary Lasers, clan Gauss, ets.

[@Acaios1]

46:10 Roughneck with all the DAN'S goodies from the Dervish, and 9 ERPPC(c). That would slap.

The Halo Effect. A man of culture.

[@trevorreniger5670]

For all that Dan's crazy shinnanigans, you should totally try the huge ballistics. Time to see a dual Naval Cannon! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jayhenry2197]

You need that much flying when you're jumping the shark this hard!! Okay, seriously I see how maybe this isn't the best for arena. But I think it will be GREAT on team missions. Keep your distance, keep moving, use your team to target for you. But maybe not with the Artemis.

[@Someddude]

If you want to play with the 300 tons, get some hardened armor/reinforced structure (double armor/structure, double weight, no slots), and some compact equipment (engine, gyro, more slots less chance of getting crit, more weight usage).

[@RobTheSquire]

Dan's do a slot increase part to. It add more slots on the section it is installed on so you could add more slots to the left torso or which ever part needs more room.

[@RedmoonIndustries]

IMO the LRM80 stream would be a good match for something like chainguns or autocannons. The stream would be moving while you blast with a fast firing cannon of some sort.

[@Clasteau]

"Hey, is that an LR..." - unknown pilot, last words

[@Finleymcg]

TO DO LIST: * Recruit more pilots - IN PROGRESS * Build a Hollander - NEED SALVAGE * Build a Raven? - POSSIBLE * Test continuous lasers * Use LRM100 in a mech * ER Micro lasers? * Test Small Automatic laser * Build Stormcrow - NEED SALVAGE * Change jump jets on Hellcat * Test Gatling Gun on a build * Modular Battle computer build - NEED SALVAGE * Use LRM-80 + Artemis IV on a mech - DONE * Build Awesome - NEED SALVAGE * Use ASRMs in a build - DONE * Find LAM Thrusters for LAM Urbie * Find MRM ammo - DONE * Put Dan's Equipment on a mech and make an over powered mech - DONE * Put jump jets on the Quickdraw - DONE * Remove medium laser from Quickdraw * Build an Omni Mech with the current mods * Get upgrade points to drop Heavy mechs from Bay Three * Use Precision Artillery on a build Those Dan's items really change a few things. The LRM-80 might work better in an open area rather than a small arena match. Bonk-bot really is doing well and can't wait to se how the ASRM Assassin goes.

[@Clasteau]

Not the most effecient, but it is visually satisfying.

[@HalcyonSkies]

Using a Star League Relic or Clanbuster mech for the quirk would make this absolutely nuts.

[@danielroesner2342]

There is also Dans Volumetric Cache, which adds lots of additional slots. Tried them in Instant action A mech with -1000 tons and 150 slots is very very funny😂

[@Battlemechbuilder]

you should try a maxed out hatchet for head melee shots with your quickdraw, and jump jets(death from above! ton of fun headhunter!

[@robertagren9360]

Your catapult is a madcat!

[@adjustus11]

You can see at the item from which mod files the items/mechs are coming from. Dan's Stuff is coming from Yet Another Weapon Emporium or how ever it is called.

[@jacobscott2473]

The landing from that jump turned your legs yellow, and then a ppc shot to each leg turned them orange

[@s.h.nourani5469]

The comment i wrote earlier but in english for the people, i guess. 1. Do you remember your video in which you presented the Marauder with a Rac/20? A Locust with slightly heavier "machine guns" would be interesting. Plus the extra slots from that one item and the hefty 430 engine. 2. Another idea would be to grab a nova and then slap a massive amount of ppc-xs on it. Because shotguns = Fun The fact that they are inaccurate at range is no problem if you replace the air with ppc shrapnel. 3. Another idea of mine would be an Urbanmech with a longtom, and all the actuators and stuff that reduce the cooldown of weapons. Because an Urbie with a giant cannon is never a bad idea. If you use a IIC variant,please don't forget the small pulse. It's very important. Very, very important. 4. Space program: A Spider, exept the side torsos are reserved for jump and booster jets only. 5. Centurion with 2 sniper artillery (any giant cannon really) in the right arm, set to chainfire 6. (I swear this is the last one) Big range increase and the small continous lasers, you seemed interested in them and so am I. 7 . s Sorry, one more suggestion. 8x arrow IV or thunderbolt 20 on the catapult with the missle hardpoints, less missiles that do more pinpoint damage (or just hit everything). Anyway, have fun

[@alexs5814]

Yeah, i see the value of the discount stuff. You can put something in a mech and see if it's even worth trying to build a genuine mech around it.

[@LoliFoxQueen]

put the dans 300 ton savings into the crb with that slot booster AND the 430 rated engine, fero lamellar, use the extra slots to make that thing a stupid 5 ppcx build. oh and don't forget to give the crb all the extra armor you can

[@te-man01]

In my opinion the streams seem to be the only group to hit the most to a single component. The other clusters are spread out and mostly hit around the mech and ground

[@s.h.nourani5469]

1. Erinnerst du dich an dein video, in dem du den Marauder mit einer Rac/20 vorgestellt hast? locust mit etwas schwereren "maschinengewehren" dazu dann noch die extra slots durch das eine item und das saftige 430 engine. 2. ne andere idee wäre sich nen nova zu schnappen und den dann mit einer massiven menge an ppc-xs zuklatschen. weil schrotflinten=spaß dass die auf distanz inakkurat sind ist auch kein problem wenn man die luft durch ppc-schrapnellen ersetzt. 3. noch eine idee von mir wäre urbanmech mit einer longtom, und dazu die ganzen actuators und so die den cooldown von waffen reduzieren. weil ein urbie mit einer gigantischen kanone nie falsch ist. wenn du eine IIC variante verwendest, bitte vergiss den kleinen Pulse nicht. der ist sehr wichtig. Sehr sehr wichtig. 4. weltraum programm: die seitentorsos werden für jump- und boosterjets reserviert. 5. centurion mit 2 sniper arrillerie (irgendeine gigantische kanone wirklich) im rechten arm, chainfire 6. (ich schwör das ist der letzte) massiv erhöhte reichweite, targeting computer etc, kleine continous lasers (weil du die noch nicht benutzt hast, aber so gewirkt hast als ob die dich interessieren) 7 sorry, noch ein vorschlag. 8x arrow IV oder thunderbolt 20 auf dem catapult mit den missle-hardpoints, weniger raketen die mehr pinpoint damage machen (oder einfach alles treffen).

[@ventury8345]

What about a mech (omni?) full of large lasers or better continous lasers. They cost very little Slots but high Tonnage and Heat. Both are no Problem with the dans stuff. I call it the "laserpointer of (Bara)Doom"

[@Clasteau]

THAT was a LOT of kaboom.

[@nravenz7538]

block out the sun with your swarm, also give it hardened armour

[@alastairstuart5800]

I feel like if you didn't land/hide behind large terrain objects and let the missiles hit your target, it worked fine.

[@Genshboy]

I mean you are always moving into terrain while firing and wondering why you don't do any damage. Have the feeling that they are indeed unpractical but still the movement seems to be quite important as well. Still love your content and I am happy for the next episode, please just take out the medium laser on the quick draw 😂

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

Lrms spread their damage around the target, and he was fragile and losing lock due to the stealth. I wonder if the yellow jackets were similarly hampered, focusing a direction instead of a mech part

[@Battlemechbuilder]

also what is the smallest/lowest spread weapon in this game ?I haven't found anything smaller than a laser "dot precision". any thoughts?

[@robertagren9360]

You really should use powered sensors in your toys; the extra sensor range is so worth it, and if you add the beagle probe, etc, you'll get even more sensor range. Useful for when you wanna say 'F*** You!' from across the map...😜🤪 Aaaaand that's exactly what you did, lol ( Note to self: maybe watch the whole ep next time...)

[@Specter-wt1wt]

ah the last 2 weeks of MW5 Clans waiting room, Bara has taken up the silly and going weeeeeeeeee..... violence is never the answer, it is the question. And the answer is allways: yes! lrm streams are garbage when size is 20 or more (regular ones are ok, btw when running an medium mech mrm build you need armor upgrades on all locations since your agro meter maxes out each time you hit a mech and then all are on you. also, the stealth armor turns off all your targeting equipment. lastly best items for the build is hardened armor, reinforced structure, droppng the lrm and mrmrs for some srm big cans (srm10, add in a couple of large pulse lasers for anti air work add actove probe getting royal JJ would also be good, lastly rebalance your back armor anything more than 12 is to much.

[@nick_alderman]

[@vljYWOK]

you needed "bloodhound active probe" its in yaml. 600m no light of sight targeting. or some advanced uavs which give 1000m no line of sight. I do FAR better with far less crazy mods, longbow Hailstorm that can put out 50 dps and get plenty of lock with no los, so no stealth needed.
