Amazing (A)SRM Burst Damage Build - Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Modded | YAML + Rise of Rasalhague 32

[@Thor847200]

That MAD-RSC that Bara fought, when he used the ASRMs for the first time, is the ONLY mech in the game that can fit and use a Spinal Mount Heavy Gause Rifle.

[@chrisyoder8985]

Good to know thanks

[@jong2359]

Spinal Mount is just flippin amazing, too. Like damn... it feel like you are throwing a bus made out of solid steel at your enemy.

[@trevorreniger5670]

Spend all the time in space that you need to. Build videos are fun! 😁 I built a Stalker with ASRMs, and if I don't lock on, the groupings are so tight that I can core out an Atlas! Screw lock on and targeting multiple components, just dummy fire and it's tighter than an LBX.

[@StrangeUncle01]

Baradul, in the Zeus build, you added a double-bin of LRM ammo to the right leg, but left a single-bin in the right torso. Three tons is a lot of ammo for an LRM-10, so I think you just forgot to take the single-bin out.

[@naomy1701]

the single ton is even Inner Sphere LRM ammo lol so its useless weight XD

[@Thomas-le3dw]

He only have two tons of ammo for the LRM 10, the single ton he left in the torso is for regular LRM and is just wasted tonnage.

[@SilverShamrockNovelties]

I think we all collectively cringed when we saw that.

[@shikitohno8446]

​@@SilverShamrockNovelties He May Catch Up on it in Time. Eventually 😅

[@snap8626]

peak autism. you on /pol?

[@docthorr]

You've got the rac5 ammo already ! I think you bough some 3 or 4 sessions ago

[@Blueden4833]

The huge targeting computer at minute 3 does wonderful things to the Awesome Pretty Baby. The quirks on the PB stack with the computer, and, if you can cool it, you end up with 3 Clan ER PPC's that are constantly available and absurdly rapid to target (you don't have to lead targets).

[@Zirnike]

How does cool down work with racs? Might be pretty good in a king crab rac build, especially with the range upgrade.

[@m.zavatskiy]

You forgot, that when you've changed your core 2 of proto's went off the archer, since there wasn't space for them 😅

[@exoplanetaryedu4449]

Was just going to comment this. Good catch!

[@burtvanheel128]

Happy Belated Birthday, man- missed the stream because, life,lol. That 8 ton TC? That's for a superheavy. Works exceptionally well on the Omega.

[@wytfish4855]

1:57 funny enough, it also extends the range of melee weapons. yes, you read that right. edit : 4:28 must've accidentally hit the capslock button, toggling the torso twist. iirc its a YAML thing. ran into that once, had me confused for quite a while

[@dieSpinnt]

Yeah, that got me, too:) From the *Yet Another Mechlab* (YAML) Description: "Adds Torso Counter-Rotation - the same as in the vanilla game, now with a keybind toggle. Keyboard bindings for the above can be set in Options / Controls / Mods at the bottom." You can see this in Baradul's games when he f.e. switches heat vision on or off. The YAML overlay that is displayed in those moments has a remark what hotkeys are defined. BTW CAPS LOCK, crap ... the most useless key since the "extinction" of the generic typewriter in the wild. It can at least be disabled for windows (with a registry patch) ... what I had on my old Win7 system. Now with that switched on, on Win10 ... I am a real victim, because all sensitivity for NOT touching that annoying key is gone:) Well, a not so lazy person (I am accusing myself here, hehehe) would just clear the keybinding (see above) and all is good:) I wish you good games and fun playing, Mechwarrior WYT Fish:)

[@jong2359]

2:00 - RAC/5 (or UAC20, LBX10, etc) + Mk8 Targeting comp = devestation. You only have 1 weapon to risk instead of 2, 1 weapon to feed ammo to, and 1 point of convergence to worry about. There are a lot of circumstances where 1 gun maximally buffed is better than a boat of other guns.

[@christophermzdenek]

I got an Atlas with the T. Comp mk VIII. 3 C ER Large Pulse Lasers. There were other weapons, but frankly, they were rarely used. I carved things apart. I kind of want to put one on a Dire WOlf loaded up with C ER mediums, just to insta-core any mech I run into.

[@robingraves9517]

Back in the original Battletech there were missiles that acted like the missiles on your Archer. They were called Heartseekers. They targeted the power plants of mechs. Unfortunately they were retconned out of the game.

[@Seranov]

ASRMs are absolutely bonkers. You can even cheese the lock on stuff by targeting something you aren't trying to burst down so you can deadfire them where you want to, in the event you want to leg a mech or whatever. I ran the Agincourt with 4 ASRM4s, 2 Clan Artemis LRM15s and a bunch of short burst MLs and it was my highest damage mech by a fair margin even long into having a full Assault mech lance.

[@brianfellows2024]

targeting computer mark 8 actually has strong, specific usage. I just built a gauss rifle hero dire wolf (-25% gauss coodown) and advanced ballistic fcs with 4 level 4 gauss rifles and 4 er medium lasers. Just for giggles I took off one of the rifles and added the targeting computer mk 8....significant increase in the build's dps for 4 less tons and no ammunition usage (effectively saving even more tonnage). I imagine any hero mech with a large bonus to cooldown times for any weapon could benefit similarly.

[@kelevin6070]

I use the Targeting Comp Mk 8 on a King Crab Carapace build with UAC 20s. It's pretty good with the range, and the projectiles basically become hitscan with the increased velocity. And I can't believe Baradul enables counter-rotation on torso twist! Heathen!

[@dieSpinnt]

Was an accident ... he said, hehehe:) YAML has the option to switch this behavior via keybinding. From the *Yet Another Mechlab* (YAML) Description: "Adds Torso Counter-Rotation - the same as in the vanilla game, now with a keybind toggle. Keyboard bindings for the above can be set in Options / Controls / Mods at the bottom." You can recognize this in Baradul's games when he f.e. switches heat vision on or off. The YAML overlay that is displayed in those moments has a remark what hotkeys are defined. Thank you for the build suggestion, Kelevin:)

[@spacedoutchimp4454]

watched all the videos from this playlist all within 3 days got me playing MW5 again

[@FARBerserker]

Remember, you have not even "upgraded" the Archer. It can be much better still. More Cooling, faster missles etc.

[@macbrown99]

I told you about the streaks bro! Should experiment with all different kinds of weapons that you would otherwise have passed over, even if they aren't absolutely optimum they can be tons of fun.

[@jerehelenius523]

zeus has 1 bin of regular lrm ammo wich those innersphere lrms used and was left when you changed to clan lrm 10 + clan ammo so 1 ton free there

[@--Hammer--]

Was coming to say this myself lol.

[@Christhulhu]

The even bigger problem of the targeting computer mk8 are the 8 crit slots :D

[@dieSpinnt]

Hint: "Structure Composite" ... if you are fearless!;) (Added by YAML, Lore: "Composite Internal Structure")

[@paultannenberg4432]

Man, I so miss Baradul's MWO content. He picked good games and had fun comments.

[@ChadKanotz]

I put my ASRMs on a Timberwolf with NSS armor, added evasion, lots of speed and jump ability, 4 ER Mediums, and proto heat sinks. Very fun.

[@klaussfreire]

33:41, first time I've seen someone crit-pad with ammo ;-D

[@Finleymcg]

Getting closer to a Stone Rhino build!

[@roush243]

The missiles vanishing is an option. I would swap the option as it is more realistic and useful, since you can use the SRM's like mortars.

[@xoso599]

I can't even imagine the computational power of a 8 ton computer made using today's tech. Also the rare times you are under weight but have a free slot you can put an armor module on and get extra armor in that spot.

[@dieSpinnt]

Oh, that is easy: An 8 ton computer is exactly 2.5 Crays or 9.85 IBMs. (I hope this joke isn't to disturbing/confusing ... Hehehe.) Thanks for the good suggestion about the armor mods! I myself sometimes stick and peel that free space with ... who would've guessed it ... "Stick & Peel":) Have a good game, Mechwarrior XO SO:)

[@williamopry7967]

Bara is using it and it works well. Anyone else see a nerf incoming?

[@manjujuju]

20:03 you forgot to remove the inner sphere LRM ammo

[@david-1775]

I just started playing a few weeks ago. I read Decision at Thunder Rift and The Sword and the Dagger back in the 80's. I stopped reading around the late 90's. I am totally lost when it comes to the "new tech". Watching the AMS chew up your missiles was kind of shocking. I have a lot of the technical readouts, maybe I need to go read them.

[@timothyhansen6581]

Yeah, well, having the counter-rotation activated allows you to strafe, which helps with preventing - or at least minimizing - the damage you take.

[@dieSpinnt]

There is a hotkey to switch that behavior on and off. From the *Yet Another Mechlab* (YAML) Description: "Adds Torso Counter-Rotation - the same as in the vanilla game, now with a keybind toggle. Keyboard bindings for the above can be set in Options / Controls / Mods at the bottom." You can recognize this in Baradul's games when he f.e. switches heat vision (PgDn) on or off. The YAML overlay that is displayed in those moments has a remark what hotkeys are defined.

[@victorlapin2080]

We need the Party-san tank with bunch of disco lasers 😊

[@MisterNi]

I still prefer Magpulse LRMs on the Agincourt but those ASRMs aren't bad!

[@sambarney5100]

Put Thermal Mass in your Archer! The Thermal Mass equipment are actually pretty cool, literally, because they continually activate every 20 seconds for however much their level is (I, II, III). I picked up an Awesome Pretty Baby and with proto heatsinks/kit and Thermal Mass his quad clan ppc is just dumb.... I my Goblin who has 20 skill in heat management and 14ish laser skill in the awesome... just obliterates enemies...

[@naomy1701]

u forgot a Ton of IS LRM ammo in the Zeus' torso, could switch it for another heatsink ^_~

[@perry92964]

well this archer build is certainly better then the lrm one. how crazy would that maurader 2 be filled with those streaks?

[@slate613]

Should look into the mod that let's you use C-Bills to buy Salvage since you keep coming up 1 short. If it's still viable of course.

[@FARBerserker]

The Partyvan. Or if you do not like it. The Partycan.

[@brianhechinger8715]

I ❤ my 6x SRM6 hero archer. I got the carapace with 4x tier 5 uac/5. Still like the archer better. It's too much fun to play. Get behind things. You can take down an atlas with a single alpha if you hit right. I definitely need to find ASRMs though. That would make this build so much better. Also, AI pilots do not touch my archer. It's MINE.

[@RincetheWind]

I love the Agincourt. I have more than enough assaults, but I take it almost every time. The 4 UAC5 (tier 5, all of them) KCB has higher dps on paper, but because it moves and turnes so slowly I do more with the archer, while taking less damage. It is good for npcs though.

[@brianhechinger8715]

@@RincetheWind Yeah, you need to pilot very specifically to not get destroyed. The AI just can't do that well enough. It's best to put them in longer range, high armor mechs. AI in the Carapace is great.

[@THX-mf5ch]

what mod adds the legs and arms hip upper/lower..... I believe i using all the same mods but not seeing those slots will look again at the mod list

[@mclaine7342]

Maybe in the Future...Atlas, Nightstar, Stone Rhino and a Maro II. Think it´s a nice Assault Lance!

[@jaredhunter8950]

When you swapped the engine in the Archer I believe you lost two of your Proto heatsinks which made your heat differential worse. you didn't add them back to the Mech after swapping the engine and losing two engine heatsink slots.

[@dieSpinnt]

He said this is only a prototype. I think your suggestion gets automatically taken into account when the appropriate Type-300 engine is put in (one more engine heatsink slot). That 295 was only a botch. Anyways, I had the same thoughts as you, when that happened. Maybe he surprises us with something completely different ... as usual:)

[@Acaios1]

10:30 Unfortunately though, having various tanks hinders the progression of some cantina missions

[@GarageDoorRepairDen]

I have a mech with 5 asrm6 and 6 medium pulse lasers {clan] I core with the lasers and shoot the missiles right after and it basically kills any mech in one staggered alpha shot.

[@FARBerserker]

Go to Terra, there should be a pilot/mech there i think?

[@Jay-ql4gp]

Thank you!

[@mashinegunpreacher1765]

Hi Bara erneut grüße aus Hessen :) Nice Folge wie immer. Hätte ne kurze Frage wie schafst du es die Komponenten wie die Balastic Computer einzubauen bei mir sagt er da immer irgendwas von wegen fehlendes Modul oder Vorraussetzung ?! Mach weiter so !

[@dieSpinnt]

Das "FCS Modular" (Fire Control System, Orange, schau in die Beschreibung) oder die "Command Console" (Gelbes Teil) erlauben die Verwendung von "BC - XXX" Battlecomputern. Wobei letztere gleich noch ECM, Sensor Verbesserungen und anderes mitbringt, dafür aber 3 Tonnen in Anspruch nimmt. Ich hoffe die Bezeichnungen sind auch im Deutschen gleich, da ich das Spiel in Englisch spiele. Viel Spass und Erfolg beim zocken, Mechwarrior MashineGun Preacher!:)

[@windi3798]

why did you not take the small advanced cockpit at 40min playtime 1 more ton for 1 of your mechs . your asrm range max is around 600m at higher tier + mods can increase it a little more, you also took some heatsinkt out of the mech when you changed the engine the archer and you didn´t put them back in

[@WayneWatson1]

BIG CAPITAL YELLOW LETTERS warning about ammo without a weapon and could have used that tonnage for something else lol

That is not the end of the world. You know? Always, when Barad-istracted does such things ... we have to take a shot, hehehe. So: Cheers, Mechwarrior Mike!:) P.S.: Don't forget to drink one for the accidental caps-lock. No NOT YOU and your comment, but for accidentally pressing the hotkey for "counter-torso-rotation" (CAPS-LOCK). Oh and one goes on me, I did the same:)

[@covahredro8370]

That size Targeting Computer can make 2 Heavy Rifles preform like 2 Gauss Rifles, but with higher alpha strike, less tonnage and the added benefit of buffing any other weapons on the mech. Downside is its a lot hotter, needs more ammo per tonne. I you put this on the MadCat you have you'd a Ballistics cooldown of -45%(20% from the quirk and 25% from the Targeting Computer), which should reduce the reload speed of the Heavy Rifles to 4.4 seconds. Of course you could drop the size the of Targeting Computer down for more space and tonnage and still receive a sizeable benefit overall.

53:18 - This is the base game's problem, you ALWAYS come up one short. I use Purchase Salvage as a buffer for this, and just self-regulate to 1 additional share can be purchased.

Is this good game for PS4?

[@vmonk722]

No mods, so you can't do most of the builds you see in Letsplays. Also the framerate gets downright atrocious in bigger missions, for example the last mission in the campaign where you get the King Crab Carapace drops to single digit fps. That said, the controls work surprisingly well on a gamepad and the game itself is still fun with tons of replayability. Really depends on how important mods are to you and if you're planning to upgrade to a PS5 soon. I'm having fun with it on a PS4 pro but it's a very compromised experience.

That is discrimination, you a putting Mechwarrior videos much less than Rogue, please be fair! :D

[@zevynozevyn4102]

I thought the point of the game was to build Op Mechs so that you don't have to repair very often, and delete others quickly. If you don't think that's the premise I believe you're doing something horribly wrong, you should really figure that out and make changes to the way you play. Plus I've noticed a lot of your decisions are very wasteful towards the money that you have and it's a disgrace to the way you treat the mech you own.

[@dieSpinnt]

Wowowowoooooo, calm down. This is a video game about science FICTION and not reality. But your anger seems to be real. Do you think this is appropriate? Also, because of your patronizing manner (who tf wants to force strangers to play games their way???) and the way you comment, there's only one thing that can be said about you: don't be so cheeky and show yourself first that you can do better by publishing videos in which everything goes exactly according to your head.
