LenPlaying MechWarrior 5 with some friends.
My buddy: Hey Len, do you want this Hunchback -4P?
Me: with all of my heart, and all of my soul.
Return of the Splatcat!
Haha a friend of mine tells me that in MechWarrior 5, instead of going for clean kills you ought to really bang up as much of an enemy mech as you can, because it lowers the salvage claim value, so you can get it for cheaper (if even at all). Perverse!
Finally, a use case for LRMs/SRMs/LBX splattering damage all across a mech! π
Darkas VimSo I got a little crazy with YAML in #mechwarrior5
My HBK-4P now has an endosteel chassis and FF armor. I also swapped out the heatsinks for doubles. Maxed out armor and with the weight savings I dropped a Standard 320 engine in it. I now have a 94kph swayback. This thing is a terror. I also named the mech "Swayin' Alive" IYKYK.

68000That new #MechWarrior5 DLC looks interesting, but the dunce level team-mate AI just kills the overall enjoyment of those games for me. Has it gotten any better over the last couple of years?
MHLoppyCombining MASC / superchargers with thrust vectoring on jump jets (horizontal, not just vertical movement) brings us one step closer to piloting jet fighters in #MechWarrior5Mercenaries
Going this speed at elevation also makes the render distance / LoD a lot more obvious lol - never realized how bad it was until now, even at high-ish settings

πthe latest patch for #mechwarrior5 released alongside the new chaos reigns DLC adds manoverability in-air while using jumpjets, which is a huge change for the better
it's a lot more fun this way!
