Anyways I forgot the name of the mech that could fit 3 LBX 20s...

Pretty much one shot anything at close range...

Its all depends where you hit. Even if you have PPC or the ER type, it still depends if you hit the right spot. The Mech armour varies across and if you are lucky to hit the weak spot (e.g the head), then you kill the MW and you win, but if you keep whacking the main areas which the armour is thick, by that time, it will be a close combat fight and thats where the short range weapons prevails.

The LBX though powerful are limited by the amount of ammo. So it got its pro and cons. Its a long range weapon. Too close it will miss.

Feels too slow paced IMHO. Played every variant of MW series including commander etc...

They were faster....



I don't recall SRMs doing that much damage -_-

From what I can tell, the Loki was still at pretty much full health...and theres no reason for a 75/80 ton Mech to go up head to head against a 100 ton Atlas -_-


Worst part, I don't understand why the freaking Atlas waited till the end to fire his missiles...and his weak weaponry....still using inner sphere mediums...

The SRMs which the Atlas carries is the SRM6. Its only one shot and the technical readout did mentioned its only good for one shot. But the revised version I think it got 2 x PPC or 2x LBXs. The rest are a combo of medium /small lasers plus that SRM6 which is always there. But the game might allow you replace it with a small laser (or pulse type) but it will lack the firepower though.

Zzz...never use cheats in MW. It will destroy the game. Its all about your strategy and skills. Its like last time the MW4 so many hackers/cheaters and made the game unplayable at all.

Do hope there are good joysticks though. Lols..

MW Mercenaries 4 Longbow with max Clan LRM 20s ftw lol.. Place your shots well and one full salvo will one shot anything pretty much.

Ermm its not a Loki...

Its a IS Warhammer.

But you are forgetting it was an urban environment. And the Atlas pretty much ambushed him. In a city area you are not going to get much range nor have much ability to run without losing your sights on him.

IIRC, MW4:Vengence the port there remains a missile exclusive port and not an omniport so I doubt can change to laser. Tch, crappy IS rubbish

NO YOU.

The clans tech also evolved from IS tech too. But just that they moved so fast that they overwhelmed the IS when they came back. Anyway this game will really bring back those 'retired' MWs for sure.

He knew he was going to be fighting in the urban environment, so why put on PPCs ?

Err dude, I think you mixed up,

the LBX 20 is a ballistic weapon

Short range and only 350 meters.

Also the ammo is plenty sufficient for me to one shot 20 mechs or so.

[blackgoofguy]

after reading this thread i swear i fell back into the 1990's again.
The trailer was to show how stupid the IS was vs the Clanners in the 3rd succesion war and this proved they are idiots trying to go toe to toe against an atlas

The LBX is not like the LRMS. Its a fast firing autocannon which uses a different material for the barrel. That's why its called a LBX. not a AC. When you go into close combat, the LBX and AC cannot hit the target. The chances is that you will miss the target. This rule applies on both board game and PC game.

Also, if you got 20rounds, I don't think the target stand there and let you hit.

Just to add, there is a similar game which is based on the Crysis engine. but its not yet released. Not sure when. But the graphics looks as good. Think its done up by some MWs fanatics.
