Not even 10 minutes in and I was thinking "Fucking Christ, If I was playing with Jake, I'd be really annoyed" by the 30 min mark the thought changed "I really hope Jake steps on a d4"
I straight up came into this knowing (and being super chill with because admittedly it's all very niche) that they'd probably not know too much about the systems/mechanics of BattleTech/MechWarrior...yet I hate how triggered I got every time Jake would open up with the MGs at half-a-klick-plus out wondering why they weren't doing anything 😆
@@mrIguy212 Also yes. Why anyone would think a machine gun could strip the armor from an armed, walking building is another matter entirely, but I digress.... I will concede that BattleTech rules and mechanics are obscure enough that even Ellis wouldn't actually know the fine points. I'm trying to avoid being a Grognard 😂
I think I have filed away my teeth by watching Jonk try to play this game. My jaw and teeth literally hurt after watching this. LoL, my god! This is why I watch these fellow fools play games. Thanks WPE and keep it up! Just not you, Jonk.
You can't max out the armor on the Cicada because its engine is over-sized for its weight class. It's intended to be a "scout killer", fast but poorly armed and armored in its normal variant. You can't change engine in the base game but mods let you do this
Gods I love hate this game. Love because it scratched a gaming itch I've had for years to play a good mech game on Xbox. Hate because I'm weirdly stuck right now in it. I need/want a heavier mech to do more missions, but never seem to get on at the end of a mission, nor are there any in the markets that I can get to. Being trapped by RNG for a mech is super frustrating.
get you a good laser vomit build going and take out the legs. much higher chance for salvage mechs at the end of a mission (although they will be more expensive)
For Campaign mode the heavier mechs are found more at the outer edge of the Draconis Combine, for Career mode they are instead found more often closer towards Terra.
this video made my inner mech pilot seethe with rage.... if it wasnt Jake using machine guns at 800 meter range, its Elis whining about killing the mechs that keep spawning until you destroy the building objective.... Meanwhile Cath getting blame for all of Jakes oh so friendly fire.... sigh highly entertaining if im honest lol
Jonk having been told multiple times the machine guns have a range of about 150. Yet the whole video long he just keeps shooting at anything less than 2000 meters away
I love playing this, but when I saw that they were using a black jack with the MG loadout, it made me cringe slightly. That's about as useful as the urban mechs, and those can equip auto cannons.
i think with technology today they can build mech but it will be shitty one with only bullistic weapon and not practical since tank is cheaper and move a lot faster.

Oh sweet Jesus, mech warrior. I’m gonna be very invested into this.
Steiner Scout Lance: for those times you want to be stealthy by making sure the opfor can't report your position because everything's been knackered.
Yea the Atlas is the best scout

Also that Ellis said that the MGs were for stripping armor when they're for the internals

Wouldn't mind more of these. Love a good mech.

btw to ellis. the MGs are designed to rip apart the innarts of a mech. not strip armor. they actually do extra damage to the structure of mechs
.... Are those colour schemes designed to give enemy observers a migraine? Sorry to tell you, that colour scheme does not discriminate.
Honestly I think Ellis made them that way so there's less chance of friendly fire. As naïve as that thought was...
Hopefully farming simulator will be in the Livestream archive
Watching Jonk just waste MG ammo drives me nuts...
Yea. He really needed to have grouped is weapons right on the Blackjack. But I guess that is the Jonk way of doing things.
I am so glad you guys are playing the Mech Warriors, such a good game and totally underrated. Thank you WPE!

@@IceNFire09 Oh, so that's how I do it. Thanks I did not know that that is what gets me a mech for salvage. Gonna try that out later. Again thanks. 👍
@@IceNFire09 Did you just suggest "sweep the leg"?
For Campaign mode the heavier mechs are found more at the outer edge of the Draconis Combine, for Career mode they are instead found more often closer towards Terra.
and if you want to buy one go to the center of the map(terra or something around that) they usually have the higher tier mechs
I wish there were better Gundam Wing games. I enjoyed the show a lot, and a bit of the game content.

I love Mechwarrior and Battletech so much. Mechwarrior 2 was the first video game I ever played!
hahaha, really? Man oh man, that feels like so long ago. That franchise was so big when it first came out.
Yeah I’d like to see more of this!! It’s a very cool.
Camouflage is spot on
when alex told jake to stop shotting cath, he should have said "she ain't armed!!!"
Jonk having been told multiple times the machine guns have a range of about 150. Yet the whole video long he just keeps shooting at anything less than 2000 meters away
Can someone tell me what Mech Warrior game precisely they are playing? I getting like two results on steam and UA-cam saying it is Mech Warrior Online
This game is Mechwarrior 5, Mechwarrior Online is the older Multiplayer PVP version of this
Oh my! Now here be somthing worth paying attention to!!

ahhh yes the steiner scout lance^^ in case you want NOONE to be able to report ANYTHING because they are VERY dead.
Cath has a pretty low bar for what counts as homophobia if she thinks Spaced is full of it.
Sick to see you playing one of my favorite games

Yay new video but also, where is the farming simulator video 😢
If it helps Ellis. Ill be number 11.
Also Alex i hope your new partner doesnt have any "drawbacks"
(Ik its bad ill go to my corner now)
