Its amazing how stealthy Fafnir 5b's are for such a large assault mech, as a light pilot I've lost how count how many times I've gone around a corner and come face to face with this monster. After streak boats this one shot beast is the bane of a light pilots day!
It's honestly pretty amazing how much aggro the ECM keeps off you in a Fafnir. More than makes up for the gigantic hitboxes. Now if they would just show my Dire Wolves a little bit of the same love...
I had to go back and look to see what y'all were talking about, and wow. Honestly, I feel like a player would have to be going out of his/her way to do so little damage in an Assault in a full game. Is he sandbagging teams?
5:42 Baradul: There's a stealth Thanatos somewhere...unless you have killed him already. KleinerApache: Boom! You lookin' for this? 4:08 Good ol' warcrimes. :)
There's nothing better than getting behind the enemy line as a dual HGauss fafnir and popping components through paper-thin rear armor. Even on heavies, theres often less than 50 points worth of rear armor and structure on some CT's so you can insta-kill unaware pilots
Oh, yeah... those days you are using an assault mech with weapons that need to precharge, predict and trace your enemy. Check, double check... ready, aim... BLAM! friendly light mech out of nowhere... and then they get all salty. Or like this example, when it was just a tiny laser graze and they pop... So... I can feel the pain. I mean, when I'm using a very mobile mech and cut the line of fire of my assault friends, I AM the one who says I'm sorry.
Always happy to see you run a double HGR Fafnir! One of my favorite mechs to play, and just an absolute monster in the right hands. Loved your back to the wall last stand in the first game
Bara, those mechs look beautiful when you have a good video card! I play with an old school GT 630 (1Gb) as I can't afford better, that's fine I'm not complaining, I still get to play MWO and love yours and BrioS vids. I might have to take my faffy out after this! The other 5 variant with only 3 energy hard points
Corvin Dallas: 76 Damage, 76 match score, lowest score on his team, outscored light mechs plays a stealth Fafnir with long range weapons so he can "snipe" tells the 2nd highest scoring player on his team to shush.......... YOU AND YOUR PLAYSTYLE ARE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS GAME
I run a similar build in the Sleipnir (just to be different from the quad LBX), it is sooo fun to pop light mechs like balloons. The ECM would be a huge help, will have to try this. :) Precharging the Gauss is a low odds chance, but when they peek and you nail 'em, totally worth it. Besides, if you have nothing to shoot at what else ya gonna do? Like Bara, don't use the Gauss charge skill node so that you can cycle through this faster.
What's up Baradul! You've inspired me to give MWO a try. Started it up and ran the tutorials today and was pretty familiar from MW5 but I'm super excited to get into some PvP and test my grit on the battlefield!
"I love the sounds of light mechs in the morning" What a complete disrespect of those brave true warriors that trust on skills and reflexes rather than tons and tons of weight and armor... Just kidding, I know you're running your share of light mechs as well, also you like the quick changes in battle plans even more 😉
I have done a team kill with missiles, launched them at a free and clear enemy, they almost get to the enemy and a friendly walks right into the path of the missiles and blam team kill, the thing is that after I said sorry, the friendly said it was his fault
@@rogon2574 definitely. I just don't like much of what PGI did to it after a certain point in one of the betas. Everything is too fast, fires too fast and it's not what I remember Battletech/Mechwarrior for
@@ElcomeSoft ... excuse me? MW 4 in particular was even crazier with it´s weapon(un)ballance .. and what you may remember from mechwarrior is how much it is more about powercreeping than anything else ... try competing in MP matches as a light mech, the work you have to put in there compared to MWO is easily double of that .... light mechs in MW:O are a propper threat, in MW4 and 3 they are cannonfodder even with a SRM build and in 4 medium and small weapons are utter shit .. also realy PPC/gausscombo is just such a nobrainerbuild .. even then in MW3 and 4 you don´t need anything else than 5 to 6 standart IS LLs realy because of the instant pinpoint hit (no DoT at all to need targettracking) ... it´s fairly easy to cool and get a fair number of shots out with significant enough damage to crack the heaviest of mechs .. dislike what PGI did as much as you like (and a fair ammount of stuff has valid critisizm ... MW:5 epic exclusivity without transparity) but at least they went and actualy diversafied mechplay ..
@@rogon2574 No. It's just that they are incompetent. They didn't even bother to re-introduce fall over mechanic. MWO is the bare minimum of what it's suppose to be. Units that are suppose to be strong are extremely fragile, units that are fragile can be damn near impossible to destroy, too many of the same weapon = GHOST HEAT FOR BALANCE, yet you'll find someone spewing even more shit than you can do without overheating at all and destroying you. No, the makers of this game are just incompetent.
Cheaters! LOL. There are plenty of times things dont happen the way they are supposed too....but its usually explainable by crappy game design (hit reg issues) or lag. The other day I was in my 4HP (Eight SRM6A) and a Vapor eagle pooped up 50m in front of me so I alphad him directly in the CT. His armour only turned yellow.........he should have been open and possibly without 1 of his side torsos...
Does case no longer protect guass? I recall hearing that it stopped working after they considered guass a weapon explosion and not "ammo" Oh, and do crit chance skills help?
It did look like it, the Champion's cockpit is right about where it hit. Not sure where he came from but seem mostly fresh if not pristine and he went down hard.
6:00 was it just me, or was there something off about the way that guy was aiming? I mean, it was spectator, so things are strange anyway... but still...
*"Sadly we will have to use a standard engine"* Bru why are you sad? Having a light/XL will kill you bc light mechs that flank can flank you and target your left and right torso
.... how THE FUCK do even cheat in this game? ... like seriously in like what the last 4 to 6 or so years i played this game i seriously have yet to see people use clear exploits of the game or make use of any sort of trainer, noclip hack or anythijng of in that direction .. and seriously cheating in a 12v12 teamgame like this ... how pathetic or lame would you have to be .. like cheating for what gain? cash? xp? PSR? .. the game even without events and premiumtime gives you alright-ish ammount of cash and xp ... and if you don´t get a good PSR then that simply means you suck .. no ammount of cheating will change that ...
A good fight on such big and slow machines like this or the Anihilator is rare at high tiers. In 99% of cases, you will die alone, thrown at the mercy of enemies, the team fled far ahead. Don't buy yourself this shit
Enh. i can regularly pull 1k dmg games in my annis. you just gotta know how the pugs are gonna work and position smart. In comp its a different story though.
"Desperate Last Stand -" Friendly, hostile: it doesn't matter. Nothing is getting past Baradul is his desperate last stand.

a pilots
The way you took down that Champion at 3:56 was a thing of beauty.
Holy cow what a killing field that first game
lol so good
Raise your hand if you've clicked on the 'spectate' button on screen in a youtube MWO video trying to see another mech's PoV.
🙋♂️
I will add to that, who has accidentally paused the video trying to click the mouse to fire one of the weapon groups?!? (0.o)
Haven't actually pressed the buttons but my hands always find themselves in piloting positions on the mouse and keyboard.
I wonder why the completely useless team mate was shushing him and how they managed to only do 76 damage in an assault mech despite not dying..?
Yeah I've been in quite a few games with that corvin guy, let's just say not a great mech pilot
I had to go back and look to see what y'all were talking about, and wow. Honestly, I feel like a player would have to be going out of his/her way to do so little damage in an Assault in a full game. Is he sandbagging teams?
Your team left you to die in the first match but you refused to. Nice shooting.

Baradul: There's a stealth Thanatos somewhere...unless you have killed him already.
KleinerApache: Boom! You lookin' for this?

Good ol' warcrimes. :)
I look forward to these clips every morning. Please keep them coming.

3:20 More like FATnir! Really puts the heavy in heavy gauss, am I right... 😁
I’ll see myself out...
gotta buy mine one of these days
dual heavygauss fafnirs are dope
Cooking with Baradul, todays recipe: a fafnir hot dog stand
😂
Good matches, I was thinking how best to build out my Fafnir. Heavy gauss it is then :)
😀love the smell of light mechs in the morning
did you headshot that champion lol nice first match

Great vid
First game
Bad luck Baradul
Does 11 team damage...kills team mate
I have done a team kill with missiles, launched them at a free and clear enemy, they almost get to the enemy and a friendly walks right into the path of the missiles and blam team kill, the thing is that after I said sorry, the friendly said it was his fault
Good morning!
Ahh man, I adore a Heavy Gauss.
Still hate it when they created that charge mechanic for Gauss though :(
I understand why they did it though, that much pinpoint damage would be completely unfair.
@@rogon2574 definitely. I just don't like much of what PGI did to it after a certain point in one of the betas.
Everything is too fast, fires too fast and it's not what I remember Battletech/Mechwarrior for

WAR CRIMES!!!!! How long did you spend in timeout Baradul? LOL
I got a team kill on just 4 team damage before. It happens :shrug:
3:56 Was that a headshot?
Looked like it. I got killed by a heavy gauss Atlas the other day in my Anni.....I was still fresh and just died......it happens.
It did look like it, the Champion's cockpit is right about where it hit. Not sure where he came from but seem mostly fresh if not pristine and he went down hard.
what about FNR-5 with 3 MPLs?
Good morning
I play table top but I love your vids does this game have quad mechs like the Goliath or scorpion and such if so could play one?
No, MWO only has bipedal mechs.
Random comment for channel interaction.
Fafnir
Toxic trait: Ass too fat
Who tf does 76 damage in a fricking Fafnir without just dying in the first minute of combat? how useless do you have to be...
6:00 was it just me, or was there something off about the way that guy was aiming? I mean, it was spectator, so things are strange anyway... but still...
Just you, that's perfectly normal.
War crimes! Hahaha!
It’s rare for you to team kill... but for anyone who is on your team, they run about 7% chance of getting hit by you Lol.
самый лудший мех самая лудшая сборка мой любимый мех
