    Medium mechs do support fire well. LRM assaults are the DEVIL.

      Disagree. A lrm assault mech can be on the front or second line. My lrm 30 Artemis atm 24 scorch earned Baradul a 1700 damage game on his second try, and he shared all of his armor.
      Lrm assaults that don't get up and share armor are cancer. But a danger close lrm boat can get shit done, surpressing and flushing mech is huge.

    • @colinmartin9797
      @colinmartin9797 6 років тому +3

      Up close lrm gameplay is all about picking targets. One mech too close? Hit that second line XL rifleman behind him. Most meta players just don't know how to play with Lrm's properly. Stay close to the fight and be ready to switch targets constantly. Even though you're sandblasting mechs, you will surpress them. Everyone panics under lrm barrages and it disrupts their aim. I'm so glad that Baradul knows this.

      Alright guys, LRM assault can be played well. However, Most pilots tend to hang out of the fight with these mech builds. We have all seen it. Not trying to cast doubt on individual pilots.

      Assault lurmboats are very efficient in FP when embedded in an organized unit, but not so much in QP. Many pilots fail to recognize the difference.

    When I play LRMS, it is a version of this Hunchback; bigger engine and no Artemis. Thanks for championing the reduction of LRM assaults that often get the team wrecked through passive non-armor sharing game-play.

    Love playing like this in a mad-dog. Two LRM20, 5med pulse, and a tag (for a couple extra tons of ammo). Can usually net plenty of damage and those pulse lasers can easily finish Damaged mechs.

  • @CascadeFreak
    @CascadeFreak 5 років тому

    One of the cool things that Baradul was doing in this was turning his mech so that the missiles could "curve" around obstacles, like curving bullets. That's really neat.
    This Hunchback build will be very handy information on future LRM mech builds.

    My personal favorite is a 4xLRM10 Hellfire with 350 engine and MASC. It gives me more than enough speed to outrun other heavies, and I can reposition before my missile trail from my previous salvo gives my exact position away. I prefer indirect fire, not just because I don't receive return fire, but because I find the surprise value of 40 missiles coming *around* a solid obstacle amusing. That said, I do play aggressively, favoring ranges between 300 and 400 meters

    The more Mechwarrior I play, the more I love lrm's. Inside 500 meters, they are just great to keep pressure on the enemy (the new line of sight buff helps) . My favorite at the moment is the Jager with 4 lrm5 and 2 ac5, and the cyclops with all lrm5 a tag and 2 LPL. I also love a single lrm15 to give indirect fire options.
    I love the dual lrm15 adder. Easy thousand damage mech.

    Fire under 400 m, try to use mechs that can get over the standard 190 velocity (I like over 220 ), Forgot be a hyper aggressive LRM boat LRMing from the front when the lights make contact, then switch to area denial to force the other team where you want them, then when everyone else finally gets up to you, work the other team over from the pack or play bait for the brawlers behind you (that are complaining about LRM boats firing from behind them, LOL), Use a bouncy LRMey medium mech, try to move 80 kph to get out of bad situations, Target those ECM mechs first for death by LRMs. That is LRM boating done right. Not the 900 m point, click, fire LRMs then scream help LIGHTS with MGs! My favorite mechs are medium LRM boats that are quick enough, but can have 4 missile hard points for that chain fire shake. but the Jenner IIc and oxide just have that special place in my cold LRM heart. Speed, Chain fired LRM 5's and annoyance with Arty and air strikes. nothing better for CLose LRM support all over the map expecially when you are in one of those moods where you want to Trollo LoL lone direwhales by yourself.

    Best IS medium lrm boat for me is my CN9-A. IS missiles have a better arc and they splat well (Artemis 15s in particular), but with half the damage/ton, its important to make one's self useful in other ways in an IS lrm mech. For instance, with BAP AMS and a shield arm or two (that you share!).

    • @Marius-tt9pz
      @Marius-tt9pz 6 років тому +1

      You might want to try the HBK-4J. When I lurm I run it with 2 LRM10, 4 ML, xl255, 3 DHS, BAP, & 8 tons of ammo. I figure the XL is worth the risk since, in thoery, the big boys should be your armor. A LE255 could be fitted too if you drop 2 tons of ammo, lose a DHS, and strip the arms a bit more. I like to play mine very actively, taking just as many shots with the 4ML as I do with the lurms. You can also refit pretty easily for a medium laser/MrM build if you feel like mixing it up.

      @@Marius-tt9pz I'm pleased that you can add that extra punch with MLs during face-time (I only use 2 MPLs), but I often find myself in a lick of trouble and being able to quickly twist after firing is pretty important to me. I've tried a re-fit that squeezes a SSRM4 in the 3rd missile slot, which was a decent scare tactic (vs lights) after certain patches. I've also had a lot of fun cramming 3xMRM20s onboard when I was feeling brawly.

    A very good build for the Hunchback. Might try a variation of it later today. I’ve been meaning to pick up a Dragon, since I’ve been seeing a lot of them in matches lately, might go for the DRG-5N. Any recommendations for a med range support/brawler build for it? Also, keep up the great work on your channel and live-streams!!

    • @Limebreed
      @Limebreed 6 років тому

      I recently got a Dragon and let me tell you it quickly became my favourite mech... But it's a DRG-1C. Hear me out first! 5Ns get their juicy arm ripped off too easily leaving them useless to everyone. My 1C build is a LBX10 with plenty of ammo, and 4 medium lasers spread along the mech. Damage seems a bit low for a heavy but with quirks + skills it fires really fast, and it has enough dbl heatsinks to sustain the high rate of fire for a while. On top of that, a big-ass light300 engine (not xl, i'll explain later) that lets me speed around at 81kph in a super duper high armor skullfucking snooty tooty dragon booty. You basically become a dangerous medium and 'maybe' light mech hunter that can tank the front end of a tsunami and spam canister shells faster than jimmy saville in a school play. Now dragons do have an amazing small side torso hitbox that makes them great for XL engines, but that meta has been around for a while and you will find every chump and his dog targeting your crunchy ribs. The high armor on the dragon goes nice with the durability of a light engine considering you will need to facetime a bit to make use of your high ROF scattergun. Last but not least, don't forget to dab on your victims for maximum emotional damage. This is your boy PleasePurchaseWinRARlicense, tuning out.

    It's not a matter of assaults or mediums, it's a matter of player mindset and tactics. The same playstyle as here is perfectly achieveable on an LRM Mad Cat or Archer, and you can't even call it inefficient use of armor as it draws enemy long range fire no worse than LL, PPC/Gauss or AC2/5 boat assault. If a person wants to sit in a trench, spend forever trying to get locks on ECMed enemies, bitch about team not doing their part and die to a stray light, downgrading their chassis won't be of much use other than slightly reducing their ballast value.

    • @Talendale
      @Talendale 6 років тому

      Your team generally has a heavy doing it's job and you're using the medium to do it instead. That being said, the H2C's big bro in Clan missile support is the Orion IIC, which can pack the same payload, a base 2400 ammo, and hits 75 kph...though no jump jets. The extra ground speed helps quite a bit though. 17 DHS mean you can judiciously fire all the LRMs at once now and then without ending up in meltdown mode, too. Night Gyrs tend to run out of space before tonnage, and Nova Cats are slower for the same payload (but can run cooler).
