<t>One of the most important, and oft ill considered aspects of ToS fighting is the pre match negotiation. It is imperative to bargain your competitor into accepting terms and conditions which are favourable to yourself.<br/>
<br/>
In particular in this match I managed to persuade Hetzer to a duel ...

Should I umm, try trolling or something?

Lemmie see, I could tell someone their design sucks. That's historically been good for forum traffic (hence my sig)

<t>Also, from my experience battling with Hetz (and his damnable fetish for Assault/Hell duels) jump jets are pretty much mandatory for an Assault titan.<br/>
<br/>
Otherwise you run the risk of getting badly boxed in. And in armoured warfare, speed is life.<br/>
<br/>
I still see a great preference ...

<t>Ain't ya ever heard of Asimov's laws of robotics?<br/>
<br/>
**** Android broke the first one: No killing the wet, squidgy things!<br/>
<br/>
10 KILL Human<br/>
20 GOTO Jail<br/>
30 PRINT "You have two choices:"<br/>
40 PRINT "Permanent shutdown or Killing more Wet, Squidgy things."<br/>
50 INPUT ...

My main concern with the 'Lucky Strike' design is that it's arguably underarmed.

I'm not sure it's got enough firepower to blow away even a single opposing Assault Titan, let alone hold it's own against multiple assailants.

<t>Speaking of armour, here is the latest revision of the 'Bait' series. Although in all honesty I'm not sure this even deserves to be called a 'Bait' model.<br/>
<br/>
It's now not as much of a walking slab or armour as it is a fast and flexible CC titan. Although no longer as good at soaking up ...

<t>There is already an emergency cooling system in ToS: Go and jump in a lake!<br/>
<br/>
If you've got a titan that's prone to heating, try to set up ambushes near rivers and lakes, so that you can go into them and cool off more rapidly. I remember back when I used to use Penetrators, that I would ...

<t>Pardon? You know for a fact that I use heavily armoured Lights and mediums...although I am now experimenting with heavier designs.<br/>
<br/>
I've seen 1sthand how devastating an AC20 can be. I wonder if my remodelled team with a Grizzly is going to be any mroe dangerous? (Yes, I AM learning from ...

<t>Haha!<br/>
<br/>
Nice one Hetz. Personally, I wouldn't be able to set foot in Ulster even if I wanted to. Everyone there is gonna hate me.<br/>
<br/>
"Where you from?"<br/>
"Australia"<br/>
"No, where's your parent's from?"<br/>
"Kildare" (Which is in Leinster, the Eastern province of Ireland)<br ...

Just what we needed, MORE head hits! :rolleyes:

<t>Not bad designs at all. Looks like you're a man after my own heart.<br/>
<br/>
If you like the Gatling, check out the Bait MkIV. I think you'll find it very interesting. Just as much (if not more) Firepower than the Gatling, but with much more armour.<br/>
<br/>
The Fire and Ice is pretty nice ...

If you've ever read the diskworld, you could imagine bad luck as being the complete absense of good luck.

I reckon I've gone right out the other side to being un-lucky :p

<r>Yes, airdrops are scary things indeed.<br/>
<br/>
I should have seen it coming.<br/>
<br/>
"Hmm, I think for once I'm not grossly outonned by the AI, time to set up an ambush and kick some tail!"<br/>
<br/>
La dee da, the BaitMkIV/Crucible combo is making short work out of the hapless opponent ...

<t>Yeah, but lets face it. It would have taken a masterful player like Hetzer to beat me after I severely lucked out with the team placements.<br/>
<br/>
Cyavhn got screwed, and I was ridiculously lucky...just my luck that I was so lucky that it means I can't claim to have won this game though skill ...

Che!

Watashi wa momata gaigokugo wo kakemasu!

<t>I was victorious in a team game against Cyavhn, but I take not the least bit of pride in it.<br/>
<br/>
I selected Tiny Teams and I got 4 recon titans with long range weaponry. Cyavhn got two Light CC titans.<br/>
<br/>
Needless to say I mercilessly slaughtered his Titans by circling, dodging ...

Don't forget the ultra stealth invisibility cloak armour that makes you impossible to target!

Actually, I think it's because I keep opening my rainbow golf umbrella indoors.

<t>I think that using cannons larger than an AC7 on a Light Titan is pretty rash. Best save the big guns for the Heavies and Assaults.<br/>
<br/>
They have the slots and the wieght allowance to do them justice.<br/>
<br/>
An AC 20 is a Big weapon, best carried by a big, tanklike titan.<br/>
<br ...

I like the Stardust (Dakdakdak!) but the uneven placment of armour worries me a fair bit.

I also agree with The Prince that mixing more than 2 weapon types reduces the titan's usefulness to lower ranking jocks (although it is an ASSAULT titan, I guess).
