You Can't Hide! NARC + TAG + ATM Hunchbackk IIC - Mechwarrior Online The Daily Dose

[@jameszumsteg1433]

Yeah there was a lot of coms chatter, but at least they were actually talking instead of playing social anxiety online.

[@yankesik5949]

11:38-astute as always, Baradul :D

[@FakeJeep]

I swear when you say hello I hear "Hello there" from Obiwan in the Star Wars movies...

[@WillMoon]

I would drop the third ATM-9 and pick up some lasers and SRMs in its' stead. I think you're too vulnerable to light mechs underrunning you with all ATMs.

[@Israfel713]

So I managed to put together an ATM 30 Timmy C with light tag and light probe. Ghost heat happens, yeah, but dropping 90 damage on an enemy in one go then switching to chain fire is pretty effective, especially when backed up with 4 ER smalls.

[@loughlan775]

There's an event going on, the year of the dog event. You can get credit for your 1k Direwolf damage using the trial mech, thus not buying the whale. Good way to get 1M c-bills for newer players

[@zotaninoron3548]

The wolfhound is also available for trial. But after running the Direwolf for the event I have decided to never buy that thing. What a frustrating mech to pilot.

[@ShadowCatGambit]

I have a Direwolf Prime and the -30 UAC jam chance is a wonderful quirk. I use 2 large pulse lasers, 2 UAC 10s, and 6 small pulse lasers (using the rest of the space for ammo and heatsinks). It's a great ambush mech, but you can't really poke or skirmish with it, so I try to target the enemy assaults (I can core out most of them with a single alpha, although the nerf to the clan pulse lasers might make that difficult now). I do admit, though, that generally being successful as a Direwolf pilot is a challenge. If your team assumes you don't need help, or if your team ends up in a nascar situation, then you're screwed.

[@yurusei-eth]

Wow. You've got a team that ACTUALLY communicates.

[@RedEyedModok]

Heres what I enjoy. Baradul states "...and you will have fun!!!!..." Not this is a "Meta Build" or 'you should attain around 800 damage average in this build.' It's nice to win, sometimes a close loss is twice as fun.

[@seb2750]

Wow that first game, lots of mechs exploding all over. Including half of Baradul mech XD

[@Lesminster]

I think NARC cannot counter ECM, quite the opposite. What game says in tips currently is that NARC will still be active even under enemy ECM but won't be able to broadcast. TAG however does counter ECM.

[@sloppywolf5453]

If you hit an ECM mech with a narc directly it will counter that mechs ECM. But if a narc effected mech gets under a friendly ECM umbrella, other then his own, then he will be hidden. At least I am pretty sure that's how it works. Tag will always counter.

[@BlueWizi]

Like Sloppy Wolf said, hitting an ECM Mech with a NARC will counter it, but if the NARC’ed Mech is covered by another ECM the beacon won’t broadcast.

[@sim.frischh9781]

Best counter is TAG or Beagle/Clan Active Probe. If you use both you can even penetrate two enemy ECMs at least temporary.

[@psyantologist]

Sloppy Wolf is correct

[@Artificer1911]

I love ATMs. I can't tell whether my PSR was rescued by them, or getting a new computer.

[@sim.frischh9781]

Very impresssive results, but the mech is awfully helpless the second it gets underrun. Should there be a sneaky Piranha run around you become prey almost in an instant. The reliance on locks hampers it a bit, but the speed is high enough to counter most of that.

[@sharkforce8147]

the following is a list of mechs that last long when a piranha gets close: that is all :P

[@robinenbernhard]

@@sharkforce8147 🤣 good one

[@aquaesque3490]

the stripes... dear god, the stripes.

[@MrRebelrob]

Are you saying your the only one that can talk? I have played several games with you, and you sounded exactly the same

[@mwoanhell8647]

Interesting build. I do prefer SRMs and am a very bad LURMER - but will give ATMs a try. See you in the battlefield! o7

[@pilotnamealreadytaken6035]

holy shit this is the falcon heavy hunchback build! niiiiiiiiice

[@xXSpaceMexicanXx]

Nice hunchy build my guy 👍

[@gump1119]

I came up with a fun brawler I'd like to see on your channel. Bushwacker-X2, 3 SRM6+A, 3 HMG, 2x Flamer/ML.

[@pilotnamealreadytaken6035]

havn't even watched the video... see the build.. THUMBS UP this is gunna get ridiculous

[@kmbdbob]

The thing is Baradukl is pro at Mech knowledge and tactics, knowing all the maps etc. But he is noob with the fire groups. Shooting that UAV with 4 atm slots? 1 would have been enough. You have 6 available groups but only use 3. Why?

[@superman9269]

lol everybody on the comms

[@neilorourke71]

They realllllyyyyyy need to nerf ATMs. the only real counter to them is AMS, and even that doesn't stop them completely.. they act like its hard to get into optimal range, or that its viable to try to under-run them, but it doesn't really work in practice when just about everyone is using them, and at any given point, you're going to be within butt-fucking range of at least one of them. It doesn't add anything to the game dynamics except "oh shit, there's an atm 48 supernova, run away."

[@Slava22222]

Heard of ECM? One ECM doesn't sound like much but thing is that almost every 3rd mech you meet on the battlefield runs ecm so when 2 ECM park next to each other and you got no direct line of sight ATM's are quite helpless. No direct line of sight=jumpjet which means really short window of opportunity to tag/narc your target and launch ATM's but if there are 2 ecms stand next to each what you gonna then?....

[@32353235e]

no backup laser? oh...

[@DonWoschto]

No calling out your narc-targets?

[@ScudLance]

this means nothing to anyone.

[@psyantologist]

Neat :)

[@skouth]

Had to skip the last half of the first game because that guy's comms were too much for me, jfc

[@verpalorian310]

Probe and tag should swap places. Tag should be higher.
