since the days of the original tabletop game people have probably been making builds not because they are optimal but because they are fucking hilarious .
anyone fighting a Cicada with a Guass "aww; it thinks it's people" *And at this moment; he knew. he fucked up* *Gauss Cicada proceeding to snipe and nuke everything in sight*
@@burnttoast.2017 I mean on paper Armored core and MechWarrior both have mechs but they are like on the opposite side of the spectrum. Mechs from armored core are basically like bi-pedal jet fighters where as MechWarrior has always been more like driving a bi-pedal tank. I would love to see it but im not sure a conversion mod would be very feasible.
@@ix8750 The mechs would need to be sped up, and jumpjets reworked. I'm sure it's possible with time. I mean, just look at MechCommander mod. I imagine getting Jumpjets to work like armored cores jets would just be time consuming. We may not be able to perfectly imitate AC, but we can try.
I know someone who honestly enjoys the Cicada. And while I question everything about his tastes, I don't judge a man who enjoys an unpopular mech. God bless you Flea. Magnificent little butt fuck.
Definitely have to play with mods for battletech and MW5. I fell in love with the cicadas in MWO by cramming a XL300 into them (with the ECM variant running a lrg pulse and 2x med pulse), and they tore up the field. Stock 40ton mechs break my heart
In one of his variants I managed to stick in 5 medpulselasers. It's good to scratch the backs... and than the internals... and than the front... and than whomever is standing in front of it... and than some more. Just dont get touched, and don't try to shoot twice in a row or you'll explode faster than you can say kablam.
Flamers on a Cicada in MW5 are good and all, but they are even better if you aim them. They are hitscan despite their particles looking weird, so it's best to just keep your cursor on enemies. Although I think you discovered this later on in the video cause that Locust chase at 3:40 made me cry a little inside... Still. Haha Cicado go brrr
i had a blackjack flamer build and it was so OP i don't understand why they have so much damage - honestly MGs and flamers are probably the best weapons in vanilla MW5 - everything else the heat makes the dps go down after that i guess just spamming medium lasers and srms
A lot of people say the Ost series are based on the Reguldt from Macross, but I think the Cicada looks more like it, or rather like a boxy, "humanized" version. It could have been in Macross Zero as an early attempt by the UNS to replicate the Zentradi's weapons with human technology.
the cicada is really underrated in my opinion it is fairly customizable and bloody annoying to deal with. I own one of these in mwo the build i run most of the time is twin light ppc's with twin er medium lasers accompanied by a ecm with stealth armor a solid all around salt machine.
i love using Light mechs in battletech because they run fast, high evasion, and they hit hard with melee and multiple short lasers.... But when in mechwarrior 5...they can't escape from my 6 medium lasers + 3 flamers Hunchback. . Tiny light mechs in battletech is mystery boxes...sometimes they just have speed and light lasers...sometimes they carry large laser or PPC wtf....
Because some mechs are designed to be scouts, some are designed to be very much discount options for specialized roles and some mechs are only designed to be decent for urban defense.
Light mechs suit well the sniping role (shoot and cool down while repositioning), but if you want use them as scouts they seldom can use all the range they got, and they get more heat efficient with short range stuff. This is why you can find the two extremes with nothing between.
What people dont understand is that in classic battletech flamers dropped your bv/cv. So you can cheat and add a bunch of flamers to get a mech lower. Low bv means you can field more units.
Ah, yes, the Cicaa a.k.a. what an insane person can achieve in 3062 mod downgrading the engine while also making it XL to run this insane baby with 3x large laser and 5x medium laser and enough heat sinks for 4 alpha strikes.
So, then your position is, "the cicada is a good mech . . . if you free up some weight by making it significantly less durable." Well, I suppose there's no J-27s in HBS Battletech, so the guys who were going to drive them have to pilot something else instead.
I found it ridiculous that most of my 65 tonne mechs were all still doing less damage than my centurion-al. There are like 5 viable mechs in the game the rest are trash. It is ridiculous how unbalanced it is. But it also makes battles super easy because despite the enemy having heavy mechs they cannot do much damage to me because they are all more useless than a medium mech and just get shredded before they can deal large damage to me :) Chassis suck for the most part... the RNG on auto cannons is ridic :PPP I swear the game uses a very poor random methods I have seen in a couple other games which cripples the 'random' aspect of it. I know they got recoil but first shot usually misses for me :)
I'm slowly working on that. I'm trying to make content that's entertaining to watch, that's not just "here's live commentary over gameplay." Naturally ideas and editing take time

We need more shit like this. Do it. Now.
Searched for Battletech Hatchetman and found your "Hatchetman go brrrr" :)
youtube recommended. I also watch other battlemech videos regularely.
Who needs a Firestarter when you have a 6 flamer Cicada.
Everyone on the battlefield overheats instantly
Ah yes, the firebug
Everyone: NOOOO, YOU CAN’T PUT 6 FLAMERS ON YOUR MECH. IT’S NOT OPTIMAL!
Andr: haha, flamers go fwoosh.
if only he cah aim right with flamers
consider the following: six flamer battlemaster
since the days of the original tabletop game people have probably been making builds not because they are optimal but because they are fucking hilarious .
Firestarter goes brrr
Word of Blake be like, “What if we put a hatchet on it?”
I mean you could but those stubby little arms won't have any real reach to them
@@Andrewlik Not thinking like a true Blake-ist then. See that head? Now imagine a hatchet on to going up and down with the might of Zeus.

I think you and Mr Tex from the BPL need to have a shitposting competition
I mean, sure, it could be, if PGI gave any medium mech other than the Hunchback more than 2 hardpoints for weapons
Up next, the 9 flamer swayback?
You haven't seen my dervish SRM boats.
@@inquisitorbenediktanders3142 after playing the hero Treb in MW5; i've begun to enjoy SRM boats alot more.
Watching this causes me great pain due to the hole in my heart from a lack of a new Armored core...
You could probably give someone the idea of a total conversion mod.

Shit. You madlad. You really did it. The FLAMER Cicada.
The Flacada. The spiciest of the spicy 🥵. Have an Atlas begging for milk and a firestarter looking for an ice tea.

love this. eurobeat only makes it better.
I dont care what anyone says the cicada is my favorite medium mech ever. Fast af, fantastic for hunting lights. 😩👌🏾
I demand more meme Mech vids
So do I but I got school :(
Pay me enough to drop out and maybe
Great content!
Too good. Wholesome, keep it up man!
Good. Now do it in Vanilla in both.
So, then your position is, "the cicada is a good mech . . . if you free up some weight by making it significantly less durable." Well, I suppose there's no J-27s in HBS Battletech, so the guys who were going to drive them have to pilot something else instead.
It's actually pretty durable if you put a big enough engine in, it's Hard to hit a cicada moving at 170 kmh
Still a major fan of the timber wolf mech and catapult.
love the cicada, I wish it was a little more realistic to cram an AC-20 into it
Mmh, love me some Coil-Cada.
I'm a simple man. I see mechs and hear eurobeat, I click like and subscribe.
There are only so many ways to sync Eurobeat to mech footage but I'll make it work
Yeah you pretty much have to rock a fast light. Of course, itd also be funny to see a dual heavy gauss fafnir going ham to Mermaid Girl. :)
Question being "Will it blend!?"
Ok so... the gauss cicada is just a hollandar.
im impressed you completed a mission with the cicada. Theyre normally so shit that its painful.
Completed a mission?
Haha
I completed a CAREER with the Cicada.
@@Andrewlik Exactly. The 2x galactic Cicada champ
40 ton mechs are just cursed
-wild happy cicada noises-
Oh. Damn.
I'll stick with the fire starter thank you very much for a small mech
Yeah, flamer is op.....Had a lot of fun with hero firestarter on mw5 disabling assault mech~~~~~
Cicada with 2 Arm mod ++ is pretty fuckin ridiculous in base game
🤔What a flamer 😂 good stuff my guy 👍
I just Realised... I can make a Quad UAC20 Cicada...
Cicada is good in MW5 if I mod the engine on the mech like mwo hahaha if the base engine nah no space for pepelaser hehehe
Yep, nigh any chassis can be "good" in RT if you pour enough high-tier gear into it, lol. Until you hit its limits, and/or the RNG fails to favor you.

I barely recognize this game with these mods.
what are some of these cursed mech builds ur fighting again?
It's mech variants from the old Mercs Reloaded - I believe they've been at least partially incorporated into YAML now
Good memez
I always liked cicada's. I find ways to use em. Also flamers are gud
Great one xD
2:35 where is this from?
Clip from Hardcore Henry - search for "Gayest Jacket I've ever seen"
3:31 are you a salamander?
You can only have two weapons and they're only mediums that's good for a scout but not that good
What’s the mod you’re using and can you link it please?
Battletech Revised for HBS Battletech. www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/567/
So which mods did you install for MW5?
Mercs Reloaded and a few minor others. Unfortunately, Reloaded broke with the recent update and the creator isn't updating it
@@Andrewlik
Just uninstall the latest update.
now do a 5 flamer charger
Jokes on you, I tried, its not easy to edit for (in MW5 at least, gonna have to try and get footage in modded hbs bt)
