Crab Warfare 

FantasticTuesday What about that giant enemy crab?

Left for Salvage. *Giant* enemy crab meat is soiled by Gauss abuse. It's left for the fish.

I had a lobster tail??? 😅

Means anyone firing Gauss has no beam showing where they are firing from. Imagine being one of the attackers running this mission, you are nervously destroying objective after objective, waiting for but never seeing an enemy Mech as you destroy each strategic item. You are now moving into place to destroy the final objective, and suddenly your Mech is rocking from heavy hits, you are rapidly losing armor, limbs, components in your torsos, your Mech is destroyed, all in a matter of seconds. Even worse, until you (or a teammates) manage to spot the Crabs, you don't know where the weapons fire is coming from!

Terrifying, real life rail guns are insane. Mounting one on a mobile mech makes it more horrific. What a fascinating universe, that is Battletech.

​@@miasma19its not a railgun, dumbo. Do your research 😂.

I noticed that. Miss the old bf days, 2042 is finally fun...

Yessss sequel!! The mating scenes we're hilarious! Next episode there's a bunch of medium crabs following their papa's around the battlefield 😂

You mean HHoD is always willing to get rekt?

Ben Ryman vs the 228th everyone is going to get rekt, I wouldn't reflect that badly on HHoD. There are a lot of pretty good units in MWO, but those such as the 228th, Lords, and SJR are a step above due to their more regular practices and stricter admissions requirements.

+LeonKerensky, wouldn't it work with UACs, though?

The idea was range and concentrated damage. Most light mechs won't survive 30 points of instant damage to a left or right torso, and if they did survive, one or two leg shots could do it, another crab could hit the same target, and most importantly the 2 second cooldown on gauss means that they could attempt to shoot again before the light mech ran away.

LeonKerensky, are you implying that light mechs are the biggest threat to the 12 man KGC team?

If they didn't have their backs against the wall it would be, and light rushes can't kill all the generators now that turrets have been buffed. The biggest threat to losing their Gauss Crabs now is a simple matter of DPS, if a wave of meta timbers or any other IS assault build came up to their Gauss Crab team, the crabs would simply lack the DPS to kill their enemies faster due to the cooldown. Even against lights, they wouldn't be able to fire fast enough to keep all 12 of their crabs alive.

nice avatar. and yes, poor f-ers if they were clan would it make a difference?

***** with TheB33f at the helm? I doubt it. ...they might have gotten, I dunno... 1 kill?

It was Head Hunters of Davion known in the Steiner hub as Herp Herp o' Derp....you could come at them with 12 LuLcaust and still win 48 to 0.

***** clanners would have had it worse. Clanners are on the weak side on CW. Clanners got no advantage when attacking on this map besides leg heatsinks. (fun fact: You have no leg heatsinks in the meta clan mechs)

+dreamyrhodes They did, but it was an epic fail

Ettienne van Staden They should have managed this when they knew how to run their lights: Stay in cover, don't approach assaults frontal, use your speed. I saw them running over the plattform and dieing. That was not a light rush. A good wolfpack can bring 1-2 assaults down, mathematically this would have result in atleast 6 kills for the attackers. I was once in a group who used 4 KGC on Portico at Omega and we totally smashed their first drop when the enemies tried to push Omega. However they didn't expect KGC so deeply in the base. On the second rush they could use lights, dodge the first defense line and pushing on the assaults. Works

He should've used ppcs and gauss. Instagib everything. >:D 2 ppcs=20 dmg 2 gauss=30. 20+30=50 dmg on alpha. Kill a timber wolf instantly.

M1ndblast or just go dual AC20s, with large lasers as backup.

You can never have enough ammo....

B33F why so many 1/2 tons of dual gauss? Is it to minimise critting?

At that point it is time to improve your aim.

It only takes one enemy assault 'mech to insta kill a cicada though. 2 gauss, 2 ppc = no side torso.

Faction warfare - defense

Well, we could sport tripple gauss Dires if need be...

+JustSomeGuy My guess is that it will be far worse if we have Assault Wars that come from PPC Warhawks and Gauss Annihilators.
