Even if you don't disable gravity it's still a necessity for the inevitable UCC failure. Nothing like hitting the brakes and all your stuff comes flying into the cab.

I took "just in time" at level 3. Definitely worth starting at both ends for the story.

The armor rating looks very close with the Jager having a very slight edge unless I'm missing something. The biggest difference seems to be trading the M energy hard points for S ballistics. At least for the ones I've found in my playthrough. The other difference is the AI always seemed to only bring back half a Rifleman in my campaign.

@@Callonian overall, yes. But the Jager maxes out with 32 points in the arms. The Rifleman maxes with 40. I’ve been a tabletop player for years, and never had much success with either one. Give me a Catapult or T-Bolt for 65 tonners…a Champion for 60 tons, then a Rifleman.

Yea I have no idea. I achieved the initial primary objective so I can only imagine it counted that one although it seems like a bug. I've heard about the weapon group order mattering but I've never seen a hard test. I've tried some different weapon groups on the same mechs with no real differences in damage output, but I didn't include lrm's in that test. I guess I'll try the with lrm's in different orders.

Yea I try to take all the heroes, even if it's just to prevent them from popping back up on the market. But considering how impossible it is to replace double heat sinks, stripping them down does provide a nice bonus.

@@CAI8 haha thanks. I remember seeing the upgrade slots in the description but couldn't see a way to apply any. That might've been before I unlocked any upgrades though. I'll have to take another look.

I've also found you need to order your lance 2 or 3 times to do anything. This is because the ai is prioritised weirdly. If they cant pathfind to take a shot then they prioritize getting to the spot to take the shot they wanted to take, even if the enemy moves or dies!

@@CAI8 yea every now and then they do like to get a little lost. It seems worse in the dlc maps, especially if it has a bunch of destructible terrain. The move command definitely helps when the attack command fails.

Sounds like the beginning of a rags to riches playthrough. Depending on what happens with Clans that's probably my next playthrough.

Yea definitely not recommended for a defense contract if you need to pick your way through a city but they always hit above their weight class nicely.

Yea the lack of any farther ranged weapons does become an issue occasionally, but peeling off the squad to take out any VTOLs is usually good enough. Keeps me free to lay down the damage.

I just wish it performed better. Maybe it's just my imagination but it always seems worse than a Javelin.

@@Callonian I think you are right, the AI is very particular about how it performs in what mech. the Awesome 8T works really really good with the AI

​@@monostripezebras yea I think it's going to be awhile before I have an Awesome to give them though. 🙂

The Javelin especially is my favorite early. Running up and blasting light mechs with 12 srms is so satisfying.

For sure the difficulty really felt all over the place for those last missions. Although all the difficulties feel so random sometimes. You can make it through one mission with barely a scratch and the next one has you limping back with half your limbs blown off.

Thanks!

Yea I was definitely surprised by how much I liked it. The planning mech layouts and seeing them in action is very satisfying.

Thanks. I love the Jaeger. Very effective at putting rounds downrange as long as you don't take too much return fire

So I've been considering a Battletech playthrough. I haven't played it yet and I usually like to play through a game before modding.

So far this is my only Battlemaster. What's the difference with the classic?

@@Callonian I played the classic MechWarrior back in the early 90's. The graphics weren't bad lol The Battlemaster design was different and obviously have less details. It was always my favorite Mech.

I just wish they would stay together while moving away from their targets. It's easier to defend them when they are close to each other even if they are further from their targets.

Yea it was definitely a big change from my ability to just charge in and blast anything with SRMs pretty quickly. It felt like a pretty big difficulty spike. Thanks for the tips, definitely something to work on.

The vanilla campaign is the base game without DLC. The DLCs add career mode and several mission chains to the game. I believe the missions ,excluding the high reward quests, are a bit random. Except for the main campaign missions, your playthrough could be completely different.

@@Callonian so i can't play vanilla campaign,because my game contain dlc.Im curious,is the story end are same or different? My last mission called crucible, which we have to defend secret door and lot of heavy mech keep coming through

@@jokajive I think you can still play the campaign. On the main menu you should have campaign or career to choose from. I don't think they've changed any of the campaign missions they've just added the dlc ones to the playthrough. I couldn't tell you about the final mission I still have a ways to go before I get there.

@@Callonian thanks so much for your reply. I try to check forum, and the final mission is same. Sorry i dont want to spoil you in the beginning of conversation

Don't worry about it 🙂

I mostly just avoid them if their voice is going to be annoying 🤣🤣

That might be an issue then. I don't think I've come across any for sale or to salvage yet.

@@Callonian that would be an issue, alright. On the Rifleman…AI will always close to the range of the shortest ranged weapon. You can tweak this by designating it as an anti-aircraft platform, or a sniper unit. Make double sure the firing sequence always favors the ACs, even to the point of having on both 1 and 2, with the “2” setting being chain fire

I thought I was going to be ok after the first engagement. Took a lot of damage but cleaned up the mechs. Then triggering the next base and a drop ship coming in behind us was just too much.

I haven't tried one yet. I think I've only even seen one once, very early, so far. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Yea I think the javelin spoiled me with the srms destroying light and medium mechs. Now that the mechs are better armoured the time to kill is too long and I end up exposed and taking too much damage. I guess it's time to adapt.

I really like the mobility of having at least 1 JJ on the mech. It's nice if I can take a shortcut down a cliff and the lancemates seem to avoid jumping off cliffs unless they have JJ, so if I mess up and fall in a hole I'm practically by myself until I can find my way out. Although as we get heavier and heavier I find myself jumping less and less
