  • This gameplay tutorial for Mechwarrior Online shows you how to utilize your Mech to it's best extent. I'll give you a rundown of the build and what it is made for and show you the actual combat role in two games on the battlefield.
    Mechwarrior Online is a competitive first person shooter where you build and pilot massive Mechs and prove yourself on the battlefield. The game is based on the Battletech franchise, which originally was a science fiction tabletop game in the 80s. Big part of the game is configuring your loadout and find the best match of missile, ballistic and energy weapons for your playstyle. The weapon variety ranges from devastating autocannons over particle projectors to deadly arrays of laser beams. On the battlefield your team of 12 Mechwarriors fight the enemies on rather small arena-type maps. Teamwork is crucial here because a single Mech does not survive long if it steps in front a full firing line. Communication and teamwork is key on your journey to glory and victory.

    Trust me not being able to target ecm people sucks, if youre using thunderbolts TAGs are still really helpful. Get real, Its 1 ton. You arent doing anything more useful than countering ecm with that 1 ton, and no beagle probe isn't gonna do the same job because a TAG will let you paint the target and retain your indirect lock on longer for several seconds (which I have tested it works on thunderbolts too.) and this is important when you consider that the second or third indirect shot with these weapon systems as your target flees behind cover can often be the killshot.

      that's actually the entire point ... actual tabletop weapon is a single projectile with any launcher functioning as a larger autocannon caliber equivalent so yea imagine a single guided autocannon 20 shot ... one might understand why the went with clustermissiles instead (with the exception of TBM5) ..
      and seriously take an archer with 6 TBM 5 or 2 TBM5+ 2 TBM10 ... if you get someones backside this weapon is even more terrifying than a equivalent autocannon or ppc combination
      because the damage is more or less guaranteed

    I personally run a near identical build, but I included the passive Beagle via dropping the added DHS and the jumpjet (I never use JJs on Assaults, they're too slow mid-air), and then added 1 1/2 tons more ammo (1/2t in the arm, 1t in the CT on top of the one he showed). The loadout Baradul & myself use can and will one-shot a medium in the back if you turn away, even if you have 10pts on all back locations.
    And he's 105% accurate about Thuds being utterly horrible now at tracking fast targets. If you see a light that's running sideways from you, you probably will never hit it especially if it's a Locust, Flea, or Piranha - don't bother wasting ammo unless its deliberate to make them panic. OTOH if it's running straight at you or straight away? Its dead. Very. Very. Dead.

    I would replace the Thunderbolts 20s with 2 Thunderbolts 10, because a single Thunderbolts 10 weighs 7 tons so total weight for using two of them is 14 tons while a single Thunderbolt 20 weighs 15 tons by itself.
    For my build, I added a advanced sensor package and a beagle active probe so my marauder can lock on faster visually when I see an enemy mech.

  • @ix8750
    @ix8750 Місяць тому +4

    I actually found my Thunderbolts arent hitting the target very often now since the patch and after some testing I realized missile mechs with over 60% total velocity depending on the target and the mech you are using the thunderbolts tracking isn't strong enough for it to kick in soon enough to hit the target within certain distance windows even at higher ground because they instead fly in a straight line and pass overhead and hit behind the target. I found my favorite light missile mech, the (Locust-1m) has a total of 65% missile velocity with quirks and it is not able to hit its targets reliably at all at 300 meters all the way to 50m range in some cases depending on your angle and your targets mech height. It really makes that build feel weird now, I'm a little sad but I'm not sure there's anything I can do.

    Oh. I watched various streamers and they keep saying “the weakness of this mech is that it is slow” about every 100 ton mech they review, with a 300 engine installed, the standard choice. Isn't it obvious that a 100 ton assault mech has a standard speed of 50 km/h, why mention that it is slow? Has anyone seen a 100 tonn mech fluttering like a butterfly a “good” (for such a streamer) speed of 70 km/h? If 50 km/h = slow for a 100 ton mech, then what speed is normal according to the streamer? Which one is good? 65 is normal, 80 is good? It’s kind of nonsense to say “slow mech” about a 100 ton mech with a 300 engine. Because there is no “fast” 100 ton mech in the gradation of this streamer. The 300-325 engine is the standard choice for the 100 ton mech. If it is faster than 52 km/h (without bonuses), then this is a specific build, either with reduced firepower, or with a special set of slots for weapons. 50 IS NOT SLOW, THIS IS THE DEFAULT SPEED. Otherwise, why doesn’t he then say “the weakness of the mech is that it cannot fly into space and carry out orbital bombardment”? Because this is the NORMAL state of a mech when it cannot do orbital bombardment or it moves 50 km/h with 100 tons of weight.
    My adequate gradation: 40 - slow, 48 - normal, 55 - good, 60 - very good, even faster - extraordinary option.

    • @SchwhatNow
      @SchwhatNow Місяць тому

      50kph is average for a 100 ton assault mech but slow compared to the speeds of lighter mechs. In quickplay where teammates are prone to leaving you behind it's worth mentioning that assault speed can be, and often is, a problem. Especially when talking to an audience that doesn't necessarily have tons of experience in the game (When I was a noob it helped to have such things reinforced over and over again in videos to provide context). Most non-assault mechs in MWO are running 60+ kph in my experience in quick play so calling out assaults for being below that is a pretty reasonable statement.

      ​@@reginaldsafety6090 well it's countering ECM potentially but don't forget a TAG gives you an increase in behind line of sight lock on duration as long as you painted the target before they go behind cover. It's like 3 seconds I believe, it's substantial enough.
