3 light titans team

ste · Post by **ste** » Sat Sep 13, 2003 7:38 am

i'm just starting TOS, and here is my 3 titans team. All 3 are very weapon-skills-specific so i can have novices jocks with weapon skills 78. note that it's a team, so the last 2 would be nothing without the first, for example. they shoudnt be any heat or power problem on any one except if you run like a mad while attacking.

any comments wellcome.

The first one, an armored gunner, nothing particular... he look like bloodhound, with a better comp and a much better heatreg and a little armor improvement, but machine guns instead of the 2 secondary ACs. he is the most exposed titan and my leader is on it.

Next one... 5 GMH, scan 5 and comp 6

of course, you cant imagine something with less armor... but if used correctly he hurt a lot, and the buisness jock on it gain often 500XP combat + 500XP other with GMH and scans. At the very start i did the first version of it with a L2 design, 0 armor on LT, RT, LA, RA, and i had some incredibles games with it. this one is still suicidal if put on the front line, but when placed corectly on a hill far from the bad guys, it works. i wouldnt use it in human VS human games (maybe it would be funny the first game, but after he may be more intelligent than the AI that is something like "first seen, first attacked").

I only play the last one since 2 days. It is based on Imp (double Tesla), but... it cools better (i love millenia), i removed the missiles racks, and put a DCS to satisfy my mechanic jock and to compensate the limited armor. He finish the job of the 2 others, when they start to hurt. after a few GMH and gun shots from them on a target, this one come to get black parts on the enemy faster. it work good for ambush too, with a lucky 25 hit on a light titan's head, the AI eject directly.

Well they all look well constructed within your guidelines, but you'll learn to get over the armor aversion thing. Playing smart and being extra skimpy on the armor for the support titans works ok in alot of situations... until you run into an airdrop, where the 'frontline' decends right beside your support titans.

The potential for losing a jock and the monetary lose early on of having titans destroyed makes it a risky call, but a somewhat valid one.

You can tell you designed the 3rd titan on the Imp because it still has George Kuhn listed as the designer

It also sounds like you've had a little trouble with heat in the smaller titans from the database, A lot of this is due to changes in the armor modifiers between ToS 1.4 and ToS: WS. It has been 'fixed', download the 'unofficial' titan database update from the thread in this forum. You'll see LOTS more Millenia being used.

It considerably improves titan performace and almost all titans with heat reg 1 can move in core terrian without drastic overheating. No need to hamper the AI with overheating titans, thats what the balance button is for.
