To be fair, you can always put the limbs back *on* the Mech after you've ripped them off :) Also, "Andreas Kane"? Seriously? Someone with that name is just doomed from birth to be a villain. Why can't a villain be named, like, Ted Nabors or Kevin Leibowitz or something :P

Frohe Weihnachten. Und ne kurze Anmerkung zum Multi-Mission. Wenn du Multi-Missions anschaust stehen die verschieden Missionen oben links im Contract Fenster und die Dauer/Duration unten links. Jede Mission dauert also in diesem Fall 12 Tage (Die Dauer kannst du auch zwischen den Mission checken indem du auf "View Contract"gehst). Wärend du also deine Mission spielst werden Mechs die im Hangar bleiben weiter repariert. Du hättest also nach der Ersten Mission den Archer rapieren können und und er wäre für die Dritte voll einsatzfähig gewesen. Hoffe du liest das und es hilft dir. Keep up the good work.

Sporking

[@sm753]

That's what I remember most from MW4. My favorite loadout was a bunch of LBX ACs with a few medium lasers for long range support. With a heavy mech loaded with LBX ACs you could knock down an Atlas with a full blast, it was great.

[@tapiopuranen88]

Checking the mission duration in days and scheduling partial repairs for that timeframe helped me a lot in multi mission contracts. Time does advance with every mission. When going shopping, keeping few mediums around is a good idea just in case you need to field a lighter lance for some reason...

[@naomy1701]

thats why he keeps the Centi and trenchbucket around ^^ but yeha its not a bad idea to have 2-3 Mediums for exactly those occasions ^^

you should really replace the small lasers on the warhammer with mediums or scratch them entirely. i think they are the reason the AI goes in so recklessly

[@naomy1701]

yes u are right, the more low range weapons a mech has, the closer the AI gets to enemys, which makes it easier for all the enemys around to shoot them

Really wish doubles were a little bit easier to acquire. I managed to get lucky and found the hero Urbie so I built up my Stalker with almost all doubles. It's a beast.

[@Tigerbear1981]

I dont know why, but in my expierience if you tell the AI to shoot a certain target they take ages to start fire ... so i startet to only give 2 commandos, and it works quite fine for me. The One is "Go to Location" for example, if there is a gorge or something i keep my crew back there and draw the enemys back into their fire line, works awesome. The Second command is "Form on me" when this is done. In some times you really can tell the light mechs (if you take any) to hold fire. Then they wont be Attacked by the Enemy AI. Also i stopped equipping my AI pilots with LRMs, most of the time they just DONT FIRE, giving them SRM Brawlers works very very nice. I supply one or two long range weapons, and then SRMs. They really wrack Havoc if the pilot has good Missile stats. If you give them Energy builds, and you supply them with 1 small laser, they go to the red line, and fire only one small laser until they are hot again and dont come down from their heat, so any other weapons on them are Wasted, they wont fire because it would drive them beyond the red line. For the AI it seems to be better to underequip them, and put Heat sinks like shit into the mechs instead...

[@Yacovo]

Thanks for the video.

[@DIEGhostfish]

LBX and laser or PPC is the best mix. Don't even need medium... Anything come close, the LBX can knock them back.

[@gf6368]

why is there no roughneck? is it a newer mech than the rest?

[@AllaMortify]

As interesting as it is watching Baradul play this (his enthusiasm does him credit), I can't help but think that Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is a somewhat shallow and repetitive fare.There appears very little diversity in building types whether the target is a settlement or military complex and the lack of any architectural differences between the various Great Houses makes each mission interchangeable. Would have been too much effort for them to have given each House a particular building template? They went so far as to include some agricultural buildings and crop fields for some of the farms but why no further? Why does a city/settlement have no signs of people or civilian vehicles to add to the sense of what as a player you are defending or destroying and adding scale so that you actually feel like you are in a huge mech? Equally, the mission types seem very repetitive. Each mission, irrespective of the blurb that prefaces it, ultimately seems entirely similar to every other one but needn't have been so. Consider the recent mission to stop the assassination of a Count by a rebel group of his own forces. Could we not have started off being amidst a group of friendly mechs before some of them abruptly turn on us and their colleagues to better establish the betrayal? When our task is to hold off the attackers to allow the Count to escape the planet, could we not have a proper escort mission ending with a dropship coming in and extracting him, or have us defending the dropship on the ground from waves of attackers? Neither of these ideas would have necessarily involved much work when the animations for the dropship already exist. Could they not have made some missions with timed objectives or locations to reach that would mandate the use of light or quick mechs to achieve them or missions to say destroy the shield generator of a biodome or defence to allow allied forces to launch an attack? Instead it is the same grinding borefest each time. I shall continue watching Baradul play this, but I can understand reviewers disliking it.

[@naomy1701]

[@mrgabest]

There's no question that, graphics aside, Mechwarrior 4(either of them) was a better game.

[@MrWasian]

@@mrgabest hell no, you can download MW4 as it's considered abandonware now and it isn't better. Take off the rosy, nostalgia glasses. MW4 was good for it's time but it didn't age gracefully at all. I played it prior to MW5 releasing and there are so many little quirks the game had, MW5 is a very well done refresh. People can gripe about the smallest insignificant shit that none of the previous games even had, ridiculous.

[@mrgabest]

@@MrWasian When it comes to things like level design, MW4 was head and shoulders better. A map in MW4 was an immersive set piece. None of the enemies were spawned randomly or dropped right on top of you, they were either on the map to start or they'd run on to the map from one of the edges. The NPC skills in MW5 are FUBAR. MW5 is a good platform for modding, but aside from its graphics it does nothing better than MW4.

[@MrWasian]

@@mrgabest AI in MW4 was awful, the amount of ff was insane. The spawning issue has already been addressed so you're talking about an old issue now. MW4 the enemy AI was stupid enough to drive up to you in droves without firing a shot. For friendly AI in MW5 it isn't bad if you play to the suits of the pilot you hire vs just slapping them into a mech and expecting them to be optimal. They also try to avoid firing on you, something which was severely lacking in MW4. Rosy, nostalgia glasses Edit: oh even with Hannibal and pilots of his tier in MW4 the AI was still bad. Also the frankenmechs that never existed and the loadouts that didn't allow you to change weapon slots at all if it was for ML, you had to use ML, couldn't put a flamer or SPL, etc. Also the fact that there were loadouts that canonically not possible on certain mechs which if the game wasn't trying to be set in the MW universe would've been fine...issue is it isn't.

[@scrapmetal4429]

Do ppc's have any real advantage over large lasers?

[@naomy1701]

no spread, higher range, plus the Distortion of sensors mess up LRM equipted enemys in 30m radius around the impact (and no minum range it seems in this title, which is nice imo)

[@BigSlimyBlob]

The higher range of PPCs is somewhat nice, and they disrupt sensors a bit too. That they do all their damage to a single component can be good, but it can also be very bad. Lots of downsides, though. PPCs are freakishly heavy compared to Large Lasers and they generate much more heat, and those two drawbacks alone might discourage you from using them. Perhaps most importantly, PPCs are very hard to use (most players get a lot of missed shots with them); high contrast with Large Lasers since it's virtually impossible to miss with Large Lasers because they are "hitscan" and will reliably allow you to get almost full damage with every single shot. Personally I never use PPCs over Large Lasers.

[@cszolee7979]

@@BigSlimyBlob Try ERPPCs, they have much higher velocity so easier to hit your target. I don't like PPCs in general, but the ER version works like a charm on my CPLT-J poptart (with 4x small lasers).

[@BigSlimyBlob]

@Sam2Hell Yes, I believe that a freakishly good player could get incredibly great results with this weapon. But it requires such an extreme amount of skill, the vast majority of us simply can't pull it off. It's a shame because they look pretty damn cool.

So...back in MW4 Mercs, there's this Loki and Thor Mech... In MW5 Mercs they're now Thunderbolt and Warhammer?

[@richardhanck972]

Thor and Loki (aka Summoner and Hellbringer) are clan tech. Warhammer and T-bolt are IS tech. Both IS mechs are icons of the heavy class, but the Warhammer was one of those mechs that was classed as "unseen" due to the design rights issues of oldschool Battletech. The primary weapons loadouts of the clan mechs are somewhat similar to the IS mechs in question, but they're very much different mechs.

[@grant8864]

You probably shouldn't be putting super short range weapon systems (Like small lasers) on mechs the AI is piloting. It seems to have a tendency to want to move to a position to bring all its weapons to bear, making it move in way closer than it should. That's why your Warhammer is getting destroyed almost every mission it's on.

[@zacharycornman977]

You really need to start saving money and buy hero urban mechs, they are dirt cheap and have 5 double heat sinks

[@Artificer1911]

Just the K9, though, has the 8 double heat sinks. The street cleaner only has single heat sinks.

[@TheRealGirochen]

And they have a uAC5 on the K9. Nice deal, about 2.5 mil, then remove the doubles and uAC and sell the chassis for 800k. So, for 1.7 mil you get four double HS and a uAC5 and ammo
