Brawling (or juggernauting, to be more precise) is becoming my favorite style of play. There's something really exhilarating about taking point during a push with a brawly Atlas or King Crab.
@Kanajashi8 жыл бұрын
+Matthew Davis For sure! the Atlas is one of those mechs that can really push the front and take the brunt of the enemy fire. It's a great feeling to march towards someone as a moving wall of death :P

Might sound silly but I enjoy the Kit Fox C as a light brawler, using machine guns and some back up med pulse lasers. Good pretty good results so far. Anyway, good tutorial ;)

kinda surprised he didn't point out sticking with his atlas and covering his back until fatlas decides to push. and from there decide to protect the atlas (if he has ecm) or let him soak up the damage in a multiplication of force brawl.

One of my favorite brawlers is the CN9-A. With the right build, you can lose 3 components (both arms, one torso) and still have 100% of your weapons and mobility.

Laser based builds can be excellent brawlers too if your definition is short range = brawler. Medium pulse laser or small laser boats for example. Some run cooler than srm6 boats and they don't require ammunition.

The Atles D-DC is the best Juggernaut brawler. You are hard pressed to find a brawler that can go head to head with a DDC and survive. The only 3 mechs capable of a head on braw are Dire Wolf's, King Crabs, and other Atles's. Locusts and light mechs can hide under the gun depression but they will get stepped one.

I got rid of my Griffon 3M but kept my 2N for the ECM and I ran it with 4 LRM5s, but since the buff to SRMs I switched it to 4 SRM4+Artemis and 2 MLs. I may have to pick up the 3M again after I finish mastering Blackjacks (I find I am enjoying the 3 LPL BJ-3 build and using it to poke. I will find a high place with cover and poke out, snipe, and pull back. I just finished the basics on it and going to start working on the BJ-1 6ML 2 MPL build.
@Kanajashi8 жыл бұрын
+BrianLocke The 2N with 4xSRM4 and 2xML is a very strong brawler as well! the ECM really helps it get close to the enemy.

@ShadowWolfTJC8 жыл бұрын
What are your thoughts about adding NARCs to a brawler build, so that your team's LRMs can effectively provide fire support? I've noticed that brawlers tend to utilize alot of cover, which keeps them from maintaining locks consistently, which, in turn, seems bad for LRM boats.
@Kanajashi8 жыл бұрын
Narcs can be strong, I wouldn't put one on a heavy brawler but I would put one on a scouting/skirmisher.

Question: is it possible to make a *proper* juggernaut brawler? One that can be a true spearhead of an attack and survive under focused fire for reasonably long time. Not "poke and hide behind cover and wait until enemy makes a mistake" kind of "juggernaut".
@fallingfloor69245 жыл бұрын
Yeah, You wait till you see an opening on the minimap and press W. Tell your team "I'll take point in (whatever mech you're in) use me as walking cover" and call your targets. I have an AS7-RS with bolt on flags just for juggernaut brawling. Easy to identify and armor quirks. I usually get 3 KMDD and 600 damage before I either cook or die lol.

Brawling is my favorite thing to do in this game but in my case I feel like luck has a lot to do whether I'm successful or not.
@fallingfloor69245 жыл бұрын
Also position. Sometimes you end up as rearguard trying to get in that 300 meter range during a Nascar where 4 meds are focusing on you. Unfortunately this video is a bit outdated strategy wise. In terms of tactics, brawling is the same. For me I like to win so I actively stay rearguard in a 90 kph brawler. Mechs like the centurion can walk backwards fast enough to do a fighting retreat. It's gg though if I look around and see LRM potatoes without a single energy port poking out of their mech. At that point I use the allied LRM supernova as cover lol. I'll let them have potato salad. Usually even in the worse case I buy my team time as rearguard to nascar back around to me.

Thanks for the teaching vid on Brawling. I went IS not clan so whats a good brawling IS mech that matches up with the clan TImberwolf brawler? Oh almost forgot; Can the Kintaro be any good at brawling? No one ever mentions it and I havent seen one yet on the battlefield.
@Kanajashi8 жыл бұрын
+Christopher Hersaint The Kintaro can be an ok SRM brawler, only thing that sets it back is that if you use IS XL engines the side torsos are fairly easy to target and pick off. As for IS brawlers you will find it hard to make something that matches the Timber exactly (its really strong), but you can do something like this: Quickdraw-4H: mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=83&l=9747fe29351c39850e27caffad944d3139c2c733 A fast and mobile quickdraw that has similar weapons set up to the Timber. Watch out as it has an XL engine so spread that damage. Can swap lasers to small pulse for additional close range DPS Cataphract-1X: mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=41&l=eb3d501f01bc8a2eb6420415d6a83efc0232c5ab A little slower ballistic based brawler. The standard engine means you can tank quite well with the left side while keeping the majority of your weapons.

you've wasted 12 points of dmg by not using the tbr-c, imho. with it you could mount 6x spl instead of only 4 (with 4 tons of ammo instead of 6). And I rarely run out of ammo with even 4 tons. surely, it runs hotter but with careful play and good heat management you could do more dmg and get more kills.
