That's a great Missile Boat! - Yet Another Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Modded Episode 41

[@LoliFoxQueen]

Baradul: *gets distracted by the scenery* Atlas: "No distraction for you! Now back to the battle."

[@haroldbenton979]

Tikonov is where the Krestral Lancers took it and the mech production facility from the Capallan confederation

[@burtvanheel128]

Yep- Do believe he was thinking of Tukkayyid; That was where Precentor Martial Focht took 'em to school and made 'em clean chalkboards after.

[@burtvanheel128]

@megasxlr2 lol! Now, now- after Theodore Kurita popped his eye out ( which actually was a good thing, considering K was gonna blow his brains out), he changed names- and personalities, apparently. Was still one hell of a General, though.

[@EverCr0ss]

And Baradul is incorrect about building on Tikonov. It's treated as an industrial hub

[@bryansmith8683]

I thank you for the change in position so we can see the loot at equipment I’m on Xbox and wishing I could get mods for it😂.

[@JRL6211]

Oh that’s hilarious “Darius must be on the other side giving them bad intel 😂” Ain’t that the truth

[@robbfisher2876]

The dropships on radar in the spaceport biomes are props... be awesome if Coyote could make them all spawn lances as an objective. Also, Clan Arrows are awesome, but I think my game is bugged as I can't upgrade them past lvl 3. Finally, I'd like to see a mod that gives Clan stuff as cantina rewards!

[@Shamattack]

You make this game look so easy!! I love the mech play but always run out of cash.

[@budthespud3226]

Um Baradul, Tikonov was a prized Capellan mech production facility that was taken by Federated Suns during the Fourth Succession War, it's part of the Kestral Lancers campaign. Tukkayyid is the planet you're referring to, located in the Free Rasalhague Republic, an agricultural world ComStar kicked the Clans asses in 3052. I know there's a lot of stuff to remember in the BattleTech universe, so you're forgiven for the brain fart.

[@Natsirt666]

Really concise recap. Well done and thanks for history reminder!

[@danielreader4814]

I remember this because i regularly replay the kestrel lancers missions, and also regularly listen to the BPL episodes on the clans on repeat :)

[@00bmx1]

I cant stop watching your vids. I wish games media woild re review this game with the incredible mods. Its so good now and makes the while game come alive. I feel like a lot more people would be into this of they only knew. Maybe armored core 6 will reawaken the genre. I know its completely dofferent but people might staty googling "mech game" afterwards.

[@ChadKanotz]

Love the content, Mr. Dul. Can't get enough of MW5 with these mods.

[@jackurquhart7994]

tikonov is one of the planets you attack in the massive contract with house davion for the kestral lancers dlc, its a famous fortress world, also the main cataphract factory is there and you take it in one of the missions

[@FARBerserker]

Finding A SPECIFIC MECH IN THE WHOLE INNER SPHERE . . HOW HARD CAN IT BE? Famous last words :P

[@Albert87nl]

2:30 Derelict Dropship .. i suggested that idea to vonseiten :P he really did it amazing but so is every damn biome he did lol

[@659009stan]

49:24 That’s a hard left Hook from the Atlas!

[@VyseSolo]

A tip you shared back in the day that makes my life easier was to cold storage every mech. That strips the mech for easy resell. Then you can go sell unwanted parts. No refit or repair cost.

[@perry92964]

that doesnt work with the mod

[@Acaios1]

@@perry92964 You can still change that in the settings.

[@adamduff1680]

Hey Bara the cooling lines upgrade can give a huge cooling boost by turning the whole mech into a heat sink - I found you even could put them in the engine slot for some spicy energy builds 😎👌

[@GhostOfBuscemi]

The clan spanking grounds was Tukkayid! IS was coming out the trees like the viet cong and when that didnt work they just burned down the forest with the clanners in it 😳

[@lopezmarlon]

Clan Ghost Bear says: Hold my 🍺

[@orbitalbutt6757]

Without Clan Wolf and Ulric Kerensky literally feeding Focht and the IS detailed information so that the entire Crusader clan philosophy would get irreparably broken and the crusader factions humiliated the battle might have gone differently. Fortunately the Crusaders were all idiots and got drubbed, except for Clan Wolf who won and the Ghost Bears who squeaked out a draw. Smoke Jags got trounced and the Falcons too. This led directly to the Smoke Jagoffs getting annihilated and Osis getting his stupid fat elemental head chopped off. The Wolves came out smelling like roses, the Ghost Bears pulled their heads out of their butts, and the Diamond Sharks got rid of their moron crusader Khan.

[@orbitalbutt6757]

@@lopezmarlon Ghost Bears barely squeaked past with a draw

[@Ichaerus]

@@orbitalbutt6757 Jade Falcon fought to a draw, due to inflicting so much death and destruction on Comstar forces sent to fight them. Crusader Clans ignored the advice offered by Ulric Kerensky, who knew that majority of Crusader Clans would get demolished by their arrogance. What people fail to figure out, is that Tukayyid was a domino in the eventual downfall of Comstar. Comstar never recovered, having suffered worse casualties than the Clans. Operation Scorpion happened right afterwards, followed by the splintering w/ Word of Blake and the Jihad, the HPG blackouts, Devlin Stone forcing Comstar to disband, and finally Clan Sea Fox buying up Comstar assets and taking over what Comstar used to manage. Victor Steiner-Davion didn't finish the job w/ Smoke Jaguar, as Paul Moon, Trent, and a few others survived, going into hiding. Many tend to thump their chest about Tukayyid, without looking at the butcher's bill levied, or they treat it as ultimate victory in Battletech. Comstar suffered over 60% losses of personnel and equipment in that proxy battle, and died before the ascent of the ilClan era.

[@vonseitentv]

Ohhh SPACE PORT CITY! :D

[@rjsc2006]

Hey von! Great job with the biome buddy :D

[@vonseitentv]

@@rjsc2006 thanks! I hope @baradul gets a raid or warzone, etc next time so he can go on a little sight-seeing tour. there's much to discover;)

[@Ichaerus]

@Baradul: Once you swap out those Inner Sphere LRM-15s for something else, you won't have any minimum range issues with your weapons. Always love watching you play, and your cheerful disposition. You do good work. Still loving your BRRRRRTadul Warhammer IIC build.

[@josepheasley5869]

Love my royal heat sinks 1 ton 3 pts dispurtion pr second. Just stay frosty

[@keebbles]

Add some lrm and srm emp missiles to the 100 ton marauder. Shut them down and overheat them too. Gives sharpshooter and direct fire mechs optimal kill shots. Better for late game.

[@jallanar]

I'd love to see those 3 rac 5s on the super heavy maruader

[@jallanar]

With some heavy lasers as back up maybe

[@stefanhofbeck1014]

Du meinst wohl eher Tukayyid - you mean Tukayyid. On Tukayyid was the great battle of the CLANS against the IS Forces and the must succesful CLANS on Tukayyid were Jade Falcon, Ghost Bear and the the 3rd i have forgotten. And the beginning was one of your most funniest vids. Oh you corrected yourself at 12 Minutes - yes its Tukayyid.

[@minard13son]

at some point you should check the "enable pirate tech" box on the home menu. theres a genre of mechs with "TPI" suffix. theyre limitless tonnage, and come with insane gear. also the (p) gear is absolutely ludicrous

[@stoapfalzrunden4150]

And if you get 3 big TPI mechs in a mission at the same time, the endgame missions dont look so hard anymore... I have deactivated them. Its not fun if your lance gets wiped out in seconds and you cant do anything against it. ;)

[@FARBerserker]

What happens at Tikonov STAYS at Tikonov. And you are Thinking of Tukayid not Tikonov. THAT was where Comstar made the Clans fight in a Exhaustion Campaign, which they are just not made for.

[@macbrown99]

I knew Baradul would be a Dragonforce fan.

[@Dosbomber]

Glad someone else noticed that line...

[@ChadKanotz]

Direwolf! There are Direwolves in the game now!

[@GaudyG84]

Hey Bara, you should move your display/camera down to the area between the map and the paperdoll area... it covers nothing in any of the screens... Maybe the last lines of pilots or store list

[@sixeswild274]

I believe that Tikonov was also the catalyst for the Ares Convention, aka the Tinkonov massacre, where the planet go nuked to glass.

[@Razielsama18]

Ich erinnere mich da an ein Full SRM-Build, das du auf so einem MAD II gespielt hast :D

[@kingof24]

I had missing equipment that was listed rare, in the sore (guardian for me) i think it was fixed in the newest yaml patch, I've yet to try it.

[@cameo25000]

Shocked, I say, shocked I am to see a baradul title with the words missile boat in the title!

[@Danyal_aka_Amagibestfox]

I built a 100 clan LRM + 4ML t5 MAD-4HP with adv missile computer n full missile weapon upgrades. Insanely good effective dmg given to AI.

[@reubenl3973]

Hey Baradul could you list the mods you're running in this episode?

[@HungryAndorian]

I have been watching hours of your videos since i discovered them last night and i dont own the game or know anything about it. Looks awesome though.

[@Acaios1]

Chances are, during the Black Friday or X-mas sales, you`ll end up buying it /that was me, 1 year ago :)

[@andyd8370]

Welcome to the Battletech universe! These games were ahead of their time in the 90's

[@SinderSong]

For the Cantina missions I strongly suggest you pick up as many WAR DOG missions as possible. The Tier 10 unlock is a 15% movement speed boost for 1 upgrade slot. That in my opinion is the best upgrade in the game. It takes time to kill all those tanks and VTOLs but they are in nearly every mission so you make steady progress. I also recommend returning to the Level 15 zones for your current power level. There's only two of them in the game (to the left and right of Terra) so bounce back and forth for the challenging higher reward missions and reduce the light and medium mech opponents. Finally you may consider installing some additional Clan related mech mods such as the Timberwolf, Mad Dog and Summoner. This will increase the probability of facing Clan equipped mechs in the Tier 15 missions.

[@felderup]

are there any mods for saving custom setups/variants so moving them from cold storage equips them, allowing for available equipment, saving time and annoyance?

[@skopusone]

You can disassemble any mech for salvage and reassemble it with additional parts. I used to farm urban lords in such a way

[@patriotjedi530]

Bara, you're thinking of Tukkayyid. The Clans never made it down as far as Tikonov, at least not as of the current ilClan era in the novels.

[@andyd8370]

@37:15 Thermal/night vision cuts through smoke. I know you like to run normal optics for us viewers though.

[@FARBerserker]

Yeah, shooting between the legs tends to hurt the most O.o

[@igorbukovy4313]

LOL RACs are totally OP. :) It is like a cheat weapon. :)

[@Mohroka]

I ALWAYS! put some medium lasers on just in case, especially if ammo gets empty, or critted.

[@Aukora91]

Baradul, it was Tukayyid, not Tikanov.

[@RobTheSquire]

I had to turn of the smoke mod so I could see more clearly. It's not so bad when you are doing a long range attack but when you are up close with srms and trying to bash a mech in the head with a fist or two it makes it hard work.

[@jeffjr84]

I had the same problem the other day with the clan ECM.. i went to a planet and it said there was one but i couldn't find it even in the mech bay store screen.

[@Shedovv]

The moment when Bara mistakes Tihonov for Tukayyid! xD

[@slate613]

Just for silly reference. 1st kill on the Champion took 69 rounds. . . Giggety 🤣🤣🤣

[@seraph6758]

Did you say missile racks for days?! 😏

[@JoMonki]

DO you have a list of the mods youre using? I really want to play timberwolves and old school mechs.

[@frag0mat1c]

Are the -ST variant missiles better to use? LRM15-ST vs LRM15 ?

[@sohmingjian]

I only use Stream LRM instead of normal 1. I find them more accurate. A shot from a LRM5-ST should take out a turret. But not a normal LRM5. Most missile will miss

[@perry92964]

its an ok build but i think the 4 lrm 15's are more then enough you need something for close range some srms maybe, are there clan srms?

[@namkha209]

Lol, Baradul makes the silliest academic mistakes but is still the most competent Mech pilot around. Truly an Inner Sphere pilot

[@NateBatts02]

Is there a list of which mods he is using somewhere?

[@williamlawson3039]

Hey Barabrother , I think one of these guys had a suggestion that'd work for you, it'd turn this marauder into a more medium to backline instead of backline but how about loading a bunch of those clan SRM to this instead of the inner sphere lrms? I think that'd be very cool on this load out.

[@quinnfable2694]

Pretty sure Bara got Tyucchid and Tikonv mixed up. ANDDDD as I was typing this he corrected himself! lol

[@HelminthCombos]

i made my mech with a bunch of C-SSRMs to yeet delete lights and mediums in fast barrages

[@EverCr0ss]

So the dropship markers showing up on the compass without an actual dropship landing happens in this map ALOT. It can be very confusing but still a great biome

[@EverCr0ss]

So Baradul you seem to think you need ubermechs with all clan tech before doing the End Game missions but honestly you can start those with 80 tons mechs. What you NEED to have is balanced mechs. That super heavy with the Black Carapace is the outlier. The BC is pretty cheat like so it'll never die but you will run out of ammo. Making these builds with only missile and no lasers will screw you because in most of those end game missions there are no repair bays.

[@mclaine7342]

The RAChammer is a Monster! Smashing 4 heavy Mechs in 20 Seconds!

[@FARBerserker]

No IIC Mech comes with XL. They are second line Machines. Only OMNI MECHS come with the Clan XL.

[@michaelcassagne8801]

Every system and mission shows what mechs to expect to encounter as well as the rating allows you to guesstimate lower tiers mechs than that of what you have. By that, determines salvage or payout. Also any savage not taken at end of mission shows up at the nearest industrial markets but for a short time so if you are doing multiple missions, chances are the market cycle thru its items available. @Baradul

[@Thor847200]

Having you on the right side of the screen is great for a lot of stuff, but can you now also put your camera profile down a little bit so it is not covering up how many CBills you have? :D Thanks
