Naw, we already have one of those, his name's Larkin

*writes on his things to do list right below avoid hetz "avoid larkin"* :p

whitefirefox, sounds like you almost described me

wish i could play you, got an ICQ#?

Played (pant) Tek and Crushu (gasp) today (wheeze) and managed to squeeze (mops forehead) out wins. Tek and I did recons in hell (feeblely attemps to wring clothing out) but it wasn't a fair game (enigma vs firefly) and he didn't know what lava was. Crushu had a (sits down heavily and sighs) Howler (tesla,2CLGs,LL) vs my Rubbler (4HMs,2LL) and I (hmm, didn't realize that rock was this comfortable) lucked out because he didn't keep closing.

Would post more but am gonna get some sleep now. G'night All

Yes, my little 'experiment' showed that Hetzer has an extraordinary amount of patience.

There is absolutely no way to frustrate or bore that man out of a good position. When he finds somewhere good, he will sit tight...and he doesn't care how long it takes you to reappear.

Am not patient just too tired to move

CrushU: yeah i have ICQ but its been bugged to hell and i can't reinstall it (**** microsoft ill get you for this!)

Korgmiester: gimme some ac4s even if i have to pick away at him for days ill get him eventually cuz he may be patient but im stubborn to a fualt

Well do I remember sitting in a good position and waiting half an hour for hetzer to come to me, only to find that he is doing the same. Did you know that if both players are waiting on new enemy, then the game will automatically interrupt your wait if neither of you moves for 1000 secs?

Yeah, I know that

OK, so you want me to make an assault sniper titan using AC4s do you, Whitefirefox?

I'll see how many I can feasibly cram into the design, but with a good position, you've got a better chance of whupping Hetzer's heiney by endlessly dak-dakking him with ac4s than with 4 AC20's.

Also, how do you plan on fighting him? Camp out in a good spot, rush at him, running battle, ambush? I prefer to perfect a titan for one battle tactic than to make it mediocre at many.

Hetzer already knows that I have a severe allergy to staying still. I like to fight and run...which is admittedly a LOUSY strategy for assult titans =P (I am too used to lights. The lion may be the king of the jungle, but the wolverine is the only one that can kill a King Cobra )

Any other weapons you want in the design? I find it's a bad idea to be overly reliant on one weapon type - it makes your tactics too predictable. Although the AC4 is an absolutely brilliant weapon: very little heat, fairly compact and a LOOONG range. I can guarantee you that it's deadlier than an AC20, any day!

I'll admit my titan designs aren't awfully exciting, but they have a certain stubborn resiliency that I like.

Uhh...........you mean Mongoose, right (slams hatch on bunker shut........$*#&^%..........Hatch lifts up......4 very flat fingers withdraw into bunker..........Hatch lowers much much more slowly).

Oh, by the way, am I the mongoose or the cobra? <grin>

Korgmiester: if the ac4 is so much better how come i can rip your baitmkiv to shreds with only a few shots from called ac20 shots? ^^ and if you don't want to try making a 4 ac20 titan thats fine by me im working to make a better version of the one i already have

AC4? Hmm, whatever. You'll learn eventually.
BTW, the Kraken assault titan packs 11 AC4s IIRC.

Well if the AC4 mech stayed out of range of your AC20 he should be able to pump you full of small holes. If the pilots are equal he should have a better call shot percentage and be able to remove a head.

The mech's designs dictate different strategies.
While the AC20 MUST closes closes closes the AC4 manuevers out of AC20 range.

11 AC4's - wow, the day when my jocks can pilot something other than light/recons with skill.

I've only played the AI but I've had decent success with my
close combat titan with 6 MG's. Still having trouble getting a excellent scan prior to closing but I suppose as the pilots skills get better that will improve as well.

But an opponent who does what you want/expect him to Deserves to die Sometimes in a duel you just have to say to yourself "ok, this is really gonna suck" and take whatever punishment you have to to get into range. This is also why Ghod invented Terrain and Cover and Maneuver.

hey i never said my ac20's work alone i have 2 closer range titans that'll knock you on your back and tear a leg off then the ac20 tos comes slowly walking along and blasts the frick out of your titan

P.S. this doesn't mean you hetzer! *avoids hetzer some more*

Hetz, why you panting? it takes you no effort whatsoever to whoop my ***.

The last one we played (and didnt finish, though you were GOING to win anyway), i pulled a fast one on you, sneakin a Hammer behind yer Mjonir and smashing 20 dmg out of a part b4 the hammer went up in flames. Too bad my Titan wasnt exactly the best one out there. (Tip: Large Laser + 2CLGs = TOO MUCH HEAT!!) Although I have to say I was pretty smart to not try and close to tesla range, since you had 2 and i had one... Was trying to manuever so i could get tesla range on yer spear and not yer Mjonir (BTW, im not sure of that exact name, i think its close though) Wouldnt have mattered anyway x( left torso was almost gone... Ticked you off running those two little recon titans around yer light titan, did i? (At least till you got bored and blew their heads off)
