Distance for move mod is the number of hexes it passed through so in this case 6 hexes for +2 movemod and distance to target is simply the amount of hexes it goes through. 1017 is heavy woods too so that's another +2 so that anubis is actually a really tough target especially with its SR armor. Remember, AC5s are all now Ultra by default, so they're actually good weapons.

It's still not comparatively good because everything is Ultra and 5 damage blocks are simply too low to really be scary unless you have lots of them. The big advantage is ammo swapping to defeat armor resistance.... which my Wolverine cant do on the fly. [e] I'm not saying its a bad mech overall I just wish I had a plasma rifle or something meatier instead. The minimum range also makes it a bit questionable for a mech with so many MG's and a battle claw. Also I hosed up loading AP ammo because I thought it gave a chance to through-armor-crit.

I dont feel that the "Ultra by default"-ness of AC/5s is that big of an advantage because I feel that the cluster table for 2 is incredibly stupid - you need an 8 or higher for both of your munitions to hit, after needing to roll to hit with the weapon in the first place. Rolling higher on your to-hit roll does not enhance your chance of both munitions hitting either, which I also think is kinda absurd.

Saros posted:Actually PTN speaking of the locust what does the compact mech tag do and does the 'minimal arms' mean it has flippy arms? Compact 'Mech does nothing in play but lets you stack two compact 'Mechs in a single Mechbay. Locust smol. Minimal Arms is a flaw that means it can't flippy arms or punch, its "arms" are basically fixed without real joints to speak of. It still has enough traverse to track moving targets but can't do anything an "arm" can do. The real dangerous quirk on the Locust is Low Profile, which is a flat +1 penalty to-hit at all ranges no matter what the Locust is doing. A Locust standing still in the middle of a field is harder to hit than a walking Annihilator.

Good news guys, the locust can't even turn an arm to shoot behind it so if you're directly behind it you're totally safe. Low profile is just nasty especially with SR armor.

Sounds good, the Vedette in 1019 has got KR armor so is a much easier target for both you and the two tanks. Probably wont kill it but should put some hurt on.

I only had a problem with it once or twice last mission, and one of those times I was in melee range. A minimum of 1 is basically "slightly harder if trying to punch stuff too" for the AC/5, and you can always take a secondary target mod for shooting at something else with the LRM, even if it's a bit of a long shot. You're not paying for ammo, so as long as it doesn't cause you other problems and it's got a shot, blast away. A little extra heat can only help you with the new tech.

The Cicada is right in the sweet spot for its speed once XL engines happen. And before that there's the 3C that drops to 7/11 speed to mount a ppc and some machine guns.

I dropped the Jenner post-timeskip and brought in the Owens instead because the Cicada had about the same firepower but was faster and more heavily armored.  It's hugely threatening to anything lighter than it, but particularly to slow 'Mechs like the Valkyrie. It's also virtually impossible for the Locust, Stinger, Gunsmith, and Wolfhound to engage.

Going with the "charge with the 'Mechs, back off with the vehicles" plan. My turn 3 orders: Dola #1 Activate stealth armour. Movement: Jump 8 hexes to 1016, facing toward 1117. Firing: Fire all weapons at the 'Mech in 1017. Physical: Hatchet the 'Mech in 1017 if it is still legal to do so after firing phase. If the 'Mech in 1017 is dead or otherwise not hatchet-able, hatchet the 'Mech in 1117. Myrmidon Movement: Maintain same facing, reverse 5 hexes to 0927. Firing: Fire all weapons that aren't impossible (13+) shots at the Vedette in 0920. If that Vedette is already dead, fire all weapons that aren't impossible (13+) shots at the 'Mech in 0918.

Men Shen reporting in here. Thanks for laying out a plan, Saros. I feel like I'm in the same situation as GhostStalker, the only other game I've played of this was way back in Hogarth's Heroes (I was the Zeus). I'm honestly not really sure how to be playing my mech at this point. Originally seeing the loadout and all that ammo, I was just going to be planting it on an elevated position and firing nonstop - thanks to Rorahusky for the reminder in the thread that they can Ultra fire now though, since I forgot about that. Here's my (tentative) orders: As planned moving to 0418, firing on SRM carrier with both ACs on Ultra, AP rounds. Holybat fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Aug 21, 2018 |

Here is my new thinking for my move. Either jump 5 to 0521 or run to 0621. Both positions cant see the SRM carrier (I checked with PTN) but can see the locust which is super vulnerable to me because of my advanced targeting computer meaning it's movemod is capped at 2. At 3 range on 7's it's going to on average take 2 MG hits and one of the AC5 or SRM6 and if it tries to return fire I half the damage from it's HMG's thanks to KR armor.

My turn 3 orders: I know there are a bunch of new players on the team so I'm not trying to be a dick because I do know that Battletech is complicated, but I also know that PTN does a ton of work to make this all happen so it is easier on him if we as players send "I fire these weapons" rather than "I maybe fire these guns once you do a bunch of math". The math is pretty straightforward once you get familiar with the game: Your gunnery skill + Your movement type: 0/+1/+2/+3 for Stationary/Walk/Run/Jump (does not matter how many hexes traversed, just the type of movement you used) + Enemy hexes traversed: +1/+2/+3/+4/+5 for 3-4 hexes/5-6 hexes/7-8 hexes and so on. Look this is one up if you're not sure. If their movement method was jumping you simply add +1 on top of the number you get from hexes moved, if I remember correctly. + Weapon range: 0/+2/+4 for Short/Medium/Long Also us Battletech vets will always happily help if you're not sure, so feel free to post your math and we can help you figure it out.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I think I remember PTN saying that it behooves us as players to do this math on our own to reduce the busywork he has to do when doing all the different turn management tasks. This isn't the case, calculating to-hits is easy and I tend to ignore them. What I don't allow are contingencies based on the to-hit, if you pick a target and it's a 13+ you can't redirect the weapon to another target. So it's still beneficial to have a general idea what your numbers should be, both because it helps you learn the game and because if I gently caress something up it makes it easier to spot. I do make mistakes! Nimble jumping also requires you to make a non-straight jump, which means you have to make a midair zig-zag or sharp turn. Mechanically this shortens your jump range by one hex, if you travel your full distance you're not making a nimble jump.

"Won" probably means "settled" but with court documents closed the only people who know for sure are the ones involved. Not worth worrying about in any case when it's so easy to add the Marauder and Warhammer via a mod. HBS has no control over what mods people decide to use.

I really like the warauder mod, my only problem is that the models included have no extra weapon slots so the customization is rather limited with them. There's a bunch of mechs in that game that come with extra ballistic or support slots for weapons they didnt come with.

They are just as deadly in normal Battletech as in HBS Battletech. But normal Battletech, everything is visible. So those slow SRM carriers are effectively just a bubble of impassable terrain in normal Battletech. In HBS Battletech, every mission is a double-blind mission with reduced LoS. So SRM carriers have a chance of actually getting into range.

Random tips that aren't obvious to new players: You have 3 units generating 6 ECM (Angel ECM is good). The enemy has 4 units generating 4 ECM. You can switch four of your ECM to ECCM to cancel out the enemy's ECM and give your side Artemis bonuses, but whichever player unit switches both of its ECM to ECCM will lose the benefit of Active SR Armor (you'll get the passive bonus instead). If you eliminate one of the enemy ECM carriers, the player units can switch to 1 ECM / 1 ECCM and suppress the enemy ECM entirely. Edit: Oh good, I was wondering how long that hidden unit was going to go undetected. See, the thing about a Compact 'Mech is the enemy has probably brought along another 'Mech with that quirk.

Jungle Valley 4 “Urbanmech on our right flank! I thought the Dolas were scouting?” “This Dola is not easy to pilot!” “Watch that SRM Carrier!” “poo poo—it’s got infernos!” Vitaliy Shwetz did his best to tune out the radio chatter. Only belatedly did he realize he’d spoken in response to Mechwarrior Toros’ inquiry. He hadn’t spotted the Urbanmech as he’d raced up the formation’s right flank. Either it hadn’t been moving or it’d been hidden behind the trees. It was fortunate he hadn’t blundered into it at close range. His Dola was the Urbanmech’s polar opposite: fast where it was slow, and lightly armed and armored. The Dola sacrificed nearly everything for speed. It was designed to be a dagger-armed peasant in a battle of warring knights: finishing off crippled foes and running down those that tried to run. The Urbanmech hadn’t shed its poor reputation even as the Confederation worked to upgrade the design to modern specifications. With an engine weighing a mere one and a half tons, the Urbanmech was almost cripplingly slow. But it was able to devote half its weight to a single autocannon and a targeting computer big enough to threaten even the fastest BattleMechs. Or, as the Confederation had discovered, to a plasma rifle and enough machineguns to make infantrymen and rioters flee in terror at first sight. By comparison, the Dola’s computer systems were downright primitive. Vitaliy had none of the aim assistance or target identification algorithms one wanted from a dedicated scout. The Dola wasn’t a recon ‘Mech, it relied on others to scout for it. And it was vastly different from the Wasp Vitaliy had trained in. It was only after he jumped behind one of the new-model Anubis raider ‘Mechs that Vitaliy realized he’d made a mistake. He’d landed too far away, out of easy reach of the Dola’s hatchet-like arm. The Anubis’s arms twisted unnaturally at the elbows, and Vitaliy cursed as he twisted his machine to avoid the enemy’s lasers. He squeezed his firing stud all the same but between the woods and the Anubis’s stealth armor he didn’t manage a single hit. Too slow, he stepped forward to strike with the knife the Dola held in a reverse-grip, but the Anubis was already gone. An instant later, the jungle surrounding his machine burst into flame.

Orders Due: Midnight Tuesday! PTN Announcement I don’t like making changes mid-battle, but it’s become clear that Stealth Armor is probably too powerful. I’m not adding heat generation to it, so my options are as follows: A) Reduce the Stealth Armor values from passive 0/1/2 active 1/2/2 to passive 0/1/1 active 1/1/1. This makes the Stealth Armor numbers consistent while still making active mode valuable. B) Require Stealth Armor equipped units to set an ECM to ‘Stealth’ mode in order to benefit from active Stealth Armor (rather than simply requiring an undamaged ECM). This deprives Stealth Armor units of their “free” ECM coverage. Units with Angel ECM will still be able to use their second ECM normally. C) Both I’m leaning towards ‘A’ right now, but I’d like to hear everyone’s thoughts. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Aug 24, 2018 |
