Kind of like how while everyone is busy making LRM boats with more LRMS than an entire stock assault lance combined. Kintaro is amazing for better alphas, but a Cent is more suitable for 'sustained' SRM brawling because it has like, 5 more use usable tons to play with. Along with that ground speed difference.īut the Cent with it's higher extra spare tonnage is still a great option for brawling in general. The Shadowhawk is still an over all more practical melee skirmish bot because 5 Jump jets is a surprisingly useful boost compared to 4. A lot of people do forget the Cent L has three support points when dimissing it in favor of the A, yes. It has everything: more than decent armor for its tonnage, good weapon distribution, great mobility. Originally posted by Eagle_of_Fire:I can't understand why people diss the Centurion. Imagine "Two firestarters in a trenchcoat" and you've got an idea of how mean a grasshopper is for close combat, An early grasshopper will erase light mechs frmo existence so long as you are actually using those support slots. You have to wait until you get to the top tier heavies like Grasshoppers 95 Melee and SIX support weapon combo (Orion is amazing, but it has zero support slots) before you have better melee build options.įun fact: Support weapons ignore evasion. Thunderbolt heavy mechs only have 80 melee damage before support weapons (and only one variant of it has 3 support mounts). (Huge bullets Hunch is better at knocking things down, Laser hunch is better at kicking them while they are down)Īs mentioned above, the Shadowhawk (D in particular) is your best bet medium to turn into a fast 5 Jumpjet punchbot.įor reference, the Shadowhawk has 85 melee damage before it's two support weapons. So while that's twice the damage of an AC20, the trick is getting it to land in the same spot. The laser hunchback is surprisingly murderous once you've got semi reliable called shots. Or the "Actually in the lore" build of shoehorning in an AC20. Whats better mechs for the medium class? The worst death trap of the mediums is the Cicadas.Ĭenturion has gained popularity in this particular game for the fact you can turn it into a poor man's LRM boat (more usable tonnage than the Trebushet). Originally posted by Eagle_of_Fire:On the other side of the coin, not having so many weapons in your arms and using those as armor without losing weapons if you lose your arms is very good at the start of the game.
