LAM Locust Online! - Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Modded | YAML + The Dragon's Gambit 29

The new Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries DLC "The Dragon's Gambit" has arrived. Let's take a look at all the gameplay aspects, story, new Mechs and weapon systems together. In this playthrough we will start a new career as a Mechwarrior thrown int o a conflict against our will.

Coyote's Mission Pack ► www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior...
In the aftermath of the Fourth Succession War, the Davion/Steiner Alliance dealt a devastating blow to the Capellan Confederation, leaving First Prince Hanse Davion eager to replicate this success against the Draconis Combine.
Gunji-no-Kanrei Theodore Kurita, fully aware of the encroaching menace posed by the FedCom Alliance, has taken decisive action to fortify the Combine's defenses against an inevitable war. As tensions rise, a unique opportunity presents itself - to unite with the Draconis Combine and rally behind Kurita's audacious and unexpected plan.
Embark on an epic quest line as your mercenary company joins forces with the 5th Amphigean Light Assault Group. Together, you must defend the Draconis Combine against a massive invasion by the FedCom Alliance. Brace yourself for the largest handcrafted campaign yet, spanning 15 thrilling missions, and prove your mettle in the face of this formidable threat as you strive to safeguard the future of the Draconis Combine.
The gameplay of Mechwarrior 5 is split in two different parts. On the one hand you will have to manage your resources, hire new crew members, outfit your Mechs and travel through the Inner Sphere star map. But the action starts as soon as you get into the cockpit of your Battlemech yourself to fulfill contracts on the battlefield to earn more C-Bills and progress the story. I will review the weapon systems, battlemechs, show you how to build the loadouts and train your pilots and take a look at all the different mission types and upgrades of the MW5 Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC.

[@Baradul]

Sorry for the audio quality. I set my mic to room capture for a hybrid DnD Session the other day. Forgot to bringt it back to cardioid pattern.

[@nravenz7538]

bara you forgot to put ammo on the LAMS again

[@FARBerserker]

BS Ammo. BullShit Ammo?

[@FARBerserker]

You barafool! Allways take the vehicle missions, much easier than mechs!

[@GhostOfBuscemi]

I have always had this grand idea of a whole lance of helicopter head urbies just soaring onto the field accompanied by flight of the valkyrie

[@rjhogan07]

The most terrifying aerospace squadron, semi-unironically, because the Arrow IV urbie is canon. An entire lance of that flying towards your force is the strangest threat, but it IS a threat.

[@wolf2965]

@@rjhogan07 Luckily: LAM Urbie, should it ever exist, would not not allowed to mount Arrow IV (due to LAM restrictions). The world is simply not ready for such power to be given to an Urbie pilot...

[@perpetrator8932]

@@wolf2965 Luckily, there is an urbie LAM in the mod and it can 100% mount an Arrow IV, cause why the fuck not. It's not like NPCs can complain...

[@blacksheepwall79]

In the original board game these were a thing. The Wasp, Stinger, and Phoenix Hawk were all based on the Valkyries from Macross.

[@slate613]

Macross/Robotech were my gateway into Battletech. Loved watching the cartoons after school. Yes, I'm old. 😆

[@castlegoat42]

After the reload, the LAMS ammo didn't make it into the Grasshopper. Also, the LAM looked fun! Great video man.

[@Billbeaux]

Never un all my years did I think I'd see a flying mech warrior

[@wytfish4855]

lol can't help but think about "you can fly!?" "no, jump good" when it comes to LAM in MW5

[@10far2many]

By the way, when a pilot goes missing in action you can go to the barracks (I think it’s the barracks) and choose to either arrange a rescue mission or just pay the ransom immediately.

[@adjustus11]

One Thing you should keep in Mind. When an enemy is destroyed, all components are in the unit will get rolled on, if you can salvage it or not. Doesn't matter if it's destroyed or not. On a Mech, how you you destroyed it, will decide how many parts you can salvage. The percentages for the parts and the components can be toggled in the YAML Difficuilty menu. The V1 settings are disabled, when you use V2. Love your videos Baradul, always fun to see you continueing your journey, keep up, stay healthy und einen guten Rutsch!

[@Acaios1]

The LAM would be ideal for Recon missions

[@Fallub]

I still love this series. Thank you.

[@Finleymcg]

Updated tally of stuff to be done: * Investigate Medium Claws - Work well but where do they fit? * Find Medium Scrap Rifle Ammo - IN PROGRESS * Convert more low tier weapons - IN PROGRESS * Check Raven rebuild * Rebuild Locust LAM * Build a Nova * Build Black Knight - DONE * Build Crusader - IN COLD STORAGE * Add second AMS to Grasshopper - DONE - LAMS (R) ADDED - BATTERY NEEDED? * Add AMS to all heavy mechs - IN PROGRESS * Collect parts for Stormcrow * Build an SRM 6 (c) mech build * Second Hellcat build - IN PROGRESS The LAM was awesome although I'm guessing familiarity will improve it's results. Don't know if it's well suited to assault missions, but will it replace the hero Locust in the recon mission? Hopefully the number of times the game crashed aren't due to a bigger problem coming.

[@WayneWatson1]

Lol, then he forgets to add the lams ammo again 🤣

[@nravenz7538]

dammit not again bara

[@DaArbiter5177]

for real

[@WayneWatson1]

He had it fixed and then the crash happened and he had all those squirrels distracting him again. He really needs to stop rushing through stuff.

[@Artificer1911]

I was curious about the flying Locust. It does look fun. This is so modded it's like a completely different game from what I play! 😆 It's like you were speaking a different language.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

Now you need to start an entire company of them called the Plague of Locusts.

[@michaelbarnard8529]

Maybe you need to go big AC and small lasers on the LAM, if your heat dissipation turns off while flying. Maybe heat banks over heat sinks? Definitely ecm or stealth.

[@CDubbs684]

For LAMs, the Urbie is excellent. With extra tonnage, UAV is a good choice. The pirate stuff is pretty OP. The small scrap gun might be an option in lieu of the lasers.

[@CDubbs684]

I have a few crazy light mechs running your mod list. Panther Katana Kat is crazy with two Parti-kill PPCs on the fast firing arm. Time to kill on heavies is ridiculously fast. FYI, The machine gun type ballistics occasionally crash my game...

[@hundebubi1410]

@Baradul Congratulation to 90.000.

[@Commander_McFluffypaws]

The Agility Gyro is a solid pickup for a LAM, and Stealth is also pretty clutch when playing heavy tonnage missions

[@GordonPhillips]

Great content Bara!! as always. One thing - your royal AMS doesn't have ammo. you have a ton of regular AMS ammo in the right leg, but no royal ammo.

[@saemonno-suke9959]

incoming Baradul video title... "The Youngblood experience" Im calling it now. the Locust was awesome cant wait to see the PHX.

[@guntere1004]

the resource point with the Crown is a high Value point, you can get some really good goddies out of that

[@robertagren9360]

They fly now

[@derrickbias3406]

Power of the Ornithopter.

[@MisterNi]

14|49. 🤔 That's probably something unique to the US. 🙂

[@RenzorTheRed]

I'm in early game with just lights and mediums, and recently came across my first Hellcat. So impressive. Bought it for 11 mil and had to spend 4 mil to fix it up (holy shit that ferro is expensive!), but it's so sweet compared to my Centurion. Fast and tough. Put in MASC, 2LL and an AC5 burst. Very fun but expensive. The Hellcat isn't in MWO. Makes me think of a mix between a Shadow Cat and a Mad Cat MKII.

[@johnscott6083]

LAMS are fun. Reminds me of "Little Dieter Needs to Fly"

[@bigsarge2085]

✌✌

[@darkyshooter]

i like the asmr from bara jaaj

[@scorch3677]

it probably would have been good to leave the LAM at the dropship and swap to your Black Knight when you decided to leave the exploration mission, because the high value targets (the one with a crown) has given me either T5 weapons, mechs, or hero mechs.

[@drinkingripa3928]

Nice title!

[@Braddack]

uh, i know i shoud sleep but no i need to see this

[@Messerschmidt109]

Think the black knight needs the royal jump jets and make him a rushing melee build maybe with pulses?

[@monostripezebras]

I am always a bit held back by struggeling with the moral flexibility requirements of the MW5 missions

[@samuraizwb]

The Scrap weapons are hilarious to use, you really need to try all 3 variants, especially the big ones. NOTE! The different sizes of scrap correlate to each different gun as their ammo, they are not interchangable

[@nick_alderman]

Awww, poor Lam.!!!

[@philhastie7882]

LAMS/(P) Requires lams ammo (batteries...10,000 shots)

[@user-cy9ue7vk3m]

Rating !

[@gamerkevin1985]

After the game crash you didn't get the lams ammo back into the grasshopper

[@8bitspartan409]

Ever since I removed clan invasion mod the game has been more stable for me. Not sure if that is the same reason for your crashes.

[@heatyt-yw2sz]

my game still tells me that the locust lam has too many jump jets, can anyone tell me how to disable the limitation?

[@napalmsanctuaryx4129]

Wouldn't proto jump jets be for protomechs?

[@perry92964]

ive said it before and i'll say it again this game is a lot of fun doing lower tier missions, if you were just collecting heavy and assault there is no way that lam would have been tried. it appears its not xl friendly

[@manopeace9175]

Your mic is sounding a bit off in this video barabro. Appreciate the vids duderino

[@thegreatlarry9454]

Bara still afraid of ravager turrets. Just run over them for the fastest, easiest kill (on the ground, of course, and stay out of sight until you're right on top of them)

[@gotswatable]

What mod adds the ship upgrade otions?

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

Would it be faster to run-through Ravager Turrets on the ground vs shooting them? Seems like they have high hit points & take a long time to destroy. I think the LAM got taken out by that last Ravager you were hiding from on other side of wall.

[@igorbukovy4313]

Can U switch to 3rd person view while flying?

[@nravenz7538]

haha LAM go weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@christianhennebold8274]

ein Medium LAM könnte vielleicht eher eine Option sein, mit mehr Panzerung und Waffen

[@CrispyHair6]

What mod gets you that Locust?

[@Skillfulist1]

Where do you get the LAM mechs?

[@zeitgeist9420]

You forgot to add LAMS ammo after the game crash

[@jorgradtke8219]

Forgot the LAMS ammo again on the re-do…

[@sergeantcrecker5396]

From which mod are LAM exactly?

FLocust 37:10

[@ashtiboy]

7:45 hey! you can't use endosteel on lam mechs and you also can't have lam mechs over 55 ton eather! that a illegal mech desine!

[@slate613]

Just wondering if you have any L Chem double ammo bins. Could replace the 4 in the Kintaro with 2 dbl's. No weight change, but more pew pew! . lol

[@slate613]

Kintaro or Grasshopper? I forget. lol

[@xtommoggram9615]

If olny we could get this in mwo

[@RevanBartus]

When we'll get next part of Battletech?

[@ukaszjakubowski6631]

baradul grasshopper have in right leg ammo to ams normal you missing best ragents

[@wolf2965]

14:17 It's a shame that the LCT-LAM you constructed is completely illegal - you are not allowed any armor or internal structure types that require critical slots (so no endo steel and no ferro-fibrous), it can only run standard or compact engine (so no XL!). YAML just does not model it correctly...

[@perpetrator8932]

TT and lore restrictions for LAMs were removed for gameplay reasons. Far more fuckery is available for those that want it. Purists, like myself, just impose personal restrictions such as simply not equipping XLs in a LAM. The locust LAM is also non canon itself so simply having it at all is rule breaking.

[@monostripeexplosiveexplora2374]

Is there a mod of urban mech LAM?

[@robertagren9360]

@@mk211x9 But champion is not a LAM

[@Jacklangefeld]

You aren't seeing a lot of cool stuff in the stores because you are still early in the timeline. The clan mechs you got where out of sync and not part of the invasion mod or YAML Clan stuff.

[@EverCr0ss]

So I've noticed that one of the mods causes your pilots to just stay where they are which led to your shadow hawk getting wasted. I think it's the TT mod that gives mech different roles.

[@Hexis17]

how is he getting these frames? i have a 13900k and a 4090 and the game does not run anywhere near this good 😵

[@DeepInsideZettaiRyouiki]

That's not right ...are you running on a gaming Laptop? Have you checked power plans? Check other mods, some can tank FPS.

[@septim08]

coyote mission update it pls. less crashes for me.

[@DeepInsideZettaiRyouiki]

vonBioms ...and at least 20sec. load time on black screen on random setting ...yea... My fav is Bamboo Forest... insta-action battlefield with huge map setting can take 40 seconds and sometimes even 1 minute to load, while vanilla maps load in 3sec. and most of vonbiomes does take 10-20 seconds, same as here. Thank you, I was worried it's my new hi-tier gaming PC while it's vonbiomes all this time, as unoptimized as possible, I almost consider removing that mod from load order altogether...just for fuck sake WTF. I even asked author and stated, that his assets will take longer to load but load times around above 30sec. are problem on my side ...what a bullshit.

[@trevorreniger5670]

After the restart the LAM armor wasn't full and the Laser AMS on Grassyboi didn't have Ammo. When my game crashes, I get so annoyed my brain crashes a bit, too. 😆
