Titans for Titans of Steel
Moderator: MOD_TitansOfSteel
Hey hey, another titan up for review. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> I know there are several weak points in this titan, mainly no flares, no D.C.S. and somewhat thin armor. So what this means is that it's mostly vulnerable to GMs and mesons. Other than that though, in my test runs it seems to be fairly effective. I'd love comments, criticisms, oberservations, notes, anything you have to say about it. Thanks! (Oh yeah, theoretically, [very theoretical, about a snowball's chance in hell <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> ] alpha-strike (within range 7) with all missiles hitting does a whopping 120 points of damage <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> while tossing heat up into the critical levels of 128 <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> )

The armor's really not that thin, compared to some of the designs. How's it handle the heat of firing everything?
We sometimes catch a window
A glimpse of what's beyond
Was it just imagination
Stringing us along?
More things than are dreamed about
Unseen and unexplained
We suspend our disbelief
And we are entertained

Is it just me, or how come those recon killer titans á la Wolfpack et al never work for me? Okay, they're hard to hit, but it's only when they're MOVING. To utilize those Power Axes and Chainsaws, one has to halt, rendering himself an open target for that larger titan he's trying to slice down. Do they rely on numbers (=no way to tumble down several of these simultaneously) or what?
I'd be happy to hear how the tactics goes with these..
Oh, by the way, that twin-AC20 plus twin-LRM12 design sounds familiar, my Starcraft uses it too.
One fairly nasty titan I liked to play with was called "Short Decour". Boasting excellent DCS and lowsy shield against fires, it hoarded SRM's like there was no tomorrow. Too bad the AI always targeted it first, so it was destroyed fairly often.. But it did usually take 2-3 assaults with him. Curiously enough, I also tried a design with Chainsaws added, but it didn't work as well..

Number is the key to those Wolfpack-type titans. Larkin made them for the tournament battles, in which you have a limited amount of cash to make your team. Since recons are cheap, especially without a lot of electronics or weapons, you can afford to make a full team of eight Wolfpack-ish titans. Unless your opponent has gone the same route, he's going to have fewer titans than you, so you can swarm him. Even a heavy or assault titan really has no chance if 3 or 4--or more recons with power axes get into the same hex with it...which of course isn't hard, when you're as slow as an assault. Even the thickest armor can be cut through rather quickly when you've got 6 or more power axes chopping at it. It's also really hard to stay up when you're getting hit that often.

Can you please check my own 3 design ? I guess they ave plenty of flaws, but more room for improvement. ( And feel free to speak french <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> )

Basically the Knight is the close fighter in shinny armor trying to reach battle in good shape with all his ECM/DSC/LS.
The FireRainer is the kind of nasty guy that make stacking your Titan a real bad idea ( he can just toast about anyone with a bit of luck ).
The Longtom is a knid of Sharpshooter, hidding in woods and snipping from far away.
I know they have flaws, could you help me get them operationnal ?

You'll have to excuse my french, it's not that good, but hopefully understandable. Also, I don't have the french keyboard, so you'll have to muck your way though my accentless sentences.
Ton premiere titan "FireRainer" est tres bon. Il semble un peu comme l'"Inferno" dans le database. La seule chose que je pense c'est qu'il est mieux d'avoir des Jump Jets en place de D.C.S. car il est plus facile de monter les montagnes. Le D.C.S. pour les titans leger n'est pas tres effective a mon avis.
Le "Knight" est aussi un tres bon titan. Mais, il est tellement preferable d'avoir des bons Jump Jets en place de D.C.S. sur un titan du combat proche. Encore une chose c'est s'il n'est pas sur une equipe, it est plutot mort car l'autre peux toujour bouger et t'evite.
Le dernier, "Longtom" faut avoir un plus grand moteur. Seulment si tu ne bouge pas, peut-il tirer sans tarder. Si tu l'as creer avec ca deja pense, j'aille mettre un [heat reg 3], un [scan 1] est des [Jump Jets 1] pour monter les motangne d'avoir un bon position embuscade.
Okay, just in case none of that made any sense, I'll say what I meant to say.
Your first one, "Firerainer", is very good. It's a bit like the "Inferno" in the database. The only thing I think is that it's better to have Jump Jets than a D.C.S. because it's easier to climb mountains. The D.C.S. on light titans isn't very effective in my opinion.
The "Knight" is also a good titan. But, it is really better to have good Jump Jets instead of a D.C.S., especially on a close combat titan. One more thing is that if it is not on a team, it is more or less dead as the other titan can always move about and avoid you.
The last one, "Longtom" needs a bigger engine. Only if you don't move, can it fire without delay. However, if you made it that way with that already in mind, I would put a [heat reg 3], a [scan 1] and some [Jump Jets 1] in so that you can climb mountains and have a good sniping position.
Hope that helps!

For the wolfpack and Raptor, try this:
Pick a good Recon Support titan like the Porcupine, and two Wolfpacks. Send all three out in a 'swarm' type formation, and when you've got a yellow or green lock on your target, start hacking at his legs; once he is down, pick another target and repeat.
Be sure to 'cycle' the firing of your weapons also, with two power axes and a flamer, your can usually get three to five hits in while your opponent gets one or two.

Yes my plan is to have a small titan that cn go on an forested hill , sit there and snipe unhindered the foes from 10 or more hexes with great precision. AS I test it, I dont think he would have any problem with HR as he is, with just one weapon no move and plenty of time to dissipate heat between shoot. JJ wasn't an option cause he is unmoving. But Flare and ECm will defintly be part of the next design.Originally posted by Lyhrrus:
Your first one, "Firerainer", is very good. It's a bit like the "Inferno" in the database. The only thing I think is that it's better to have Jump Jets than a D.C.S. because it's easier to climb mountains. The D.C.S. on light titans isn't very effective in my opinion.
Agree on the DCS part, I didn't have to use it and totally forget about even having him. Perhaps as a security against HR or Gyro hits... Or get it away and get some nicer items. But I am fairly AGAINST the jumpjet and never use them for a simple reason = every items that can have you make a pilotage test is yours ennemy ! I have more than often lost battle, mach and pilot in mechforce to a missed landing skill I let it to the others. Only thing I do is yelling "PULL!!!" when they close on me in the air.
The "Knight" is also a good titan. But, it is really better to have good Jump Jets instead of a D.C.S., especially on a close combat titan. One more thing is that if it is not on a team, it is more or less dead as the other titan can always move about and avoid you.
Same thing for the JJ, the DCS will be replaced with better HR, bigger engine and perhaps ECm or shield. It is a team titan and really uisefull to keep them honest and at bay from my ones. It is also good in forest/hill fight against other Light.
BTW I did upgrade it to a Knight Paladin, by removing all the extras, upgrading HR and engine, putting and Axe in place of one chainsword and adding a FT in the CTB ( just for those dancers that always try to avoid me <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> .
The last one, "Longtom" needs a bigger engine. Only if you don't move, can it fire without delay. However, if you made it that way with that already in mind, I would put a [heat reg 3], a [scan 1] and some [Jump Jets 1] in so that you can climb mountains and have a good sniping position.
Hope that helps!
Your french cwasn't all that bad, and far better than my german, but I think for our common mental sanity we will keep with the english. I battle proofed my design and here is the result:
-Knight: run like madness, charge through a burning forest an ennemy mech or 2 or 3 ( in fact I dont charge, not needed with 2 close quarter weapon ). Cut the ennemy Titan in 2 then was shutdown cause of heat and nice blow away 5 minuts later ARGGGGGGGGGG <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> ((
- Thing definitly to change: put a bigger HR, a better computert: 20 secs to lock my target is painfull and possibly lethal.
- FireRainer: handle very nice, twist an entire ennemy forest attack into a "RUNAWAY!!!" through hell. It just cant hit anything further away than a few hexes but can definitly kill by side effect heat alone. The ammo ammount is nice to a bit low in the hand, and it need someone to help him finish the overheated foes ( BTW they finish themselfs nicely whil e trying to hit , going yellow then receiving 28 napalm missile ). CONS= make my brother mad while firing in forest close combat, hit defintly easier friend than foe, cause the death of my Knight <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
- Longtom: this game winner and the savior of teh day. Spend the whole fight on his mountain peak, shooting 10 to 14 hex away at Titans with nice hitting prob ( 50 to 65 % ). wasn't hit a single tme, nor targeted either. Disable several 70t ennemy Titans by killing their legs or hitting the gyros on LoT. Would'nt have beeen so well if not for the otehr titans to occupe the foe. Funny pic: my bros 40t fleeing maddly before a 70t close quarter mech, while I potshot at hit from 12 hex away until I get him down, then my bros turn back and take im out with his punny arms <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
Thanks for your advice,and if we cross way one day I will know where to look to find you :" up and from the sun".

We sometimes catch a window
A glimpse of what's beyond
Was it just imagination
Stringing us along?
More things than are dreamed about
Unseen and unexplained
We suspend our disbelief
And we are entertained
