this has become my 'after work cocktail'. I've never played this game but Baradul plays it like I imagine I would/could. I am really looking forward to these videos, man. They're not coming out fast enough :D I'm picking the game up this weekend...
I honestly don't understand why people would give you crap for trying things out of fun. I mean, for the little while I played MWO on launch, I was one of the few people running around with a PPC in a Locust. Sure, I got wrecked quickly, but the amount of times I would just... do hit and run on my enemies, taking a single potshot and running away. It was a lot of fun for the little while I played the game (I'm not really a PvP player). Play for fun, and we'll have fun as well. :3
The moment with the Timberwolf is in mech commander 1. I grew up playing that game but struggled with it cause I was like 8-10 when I played it. MW 5 brought back all those memories since I didn’t do anything battletech in between.
I've found myself buying modular armor constantly for mechs with weak arms. I don't want to invest slots or tonnage on areas that don't need extra padding, so modular is my friend. PS: Hammers are so adorable! 😆
Mech Commander 1. I remember playing that mission over and over and over again to try and bring the Mad Cat in alive. If I remember correctly you couldn't use the air strike because the damage from the fuel tanks would always kill the Mad Cat. So I would bring it out and just constantly move my guys around while aiming for the head constantly. Though this really only worked if you were able to salvage the Hollander from a couple missions earlier with the gauss rifle. That was another mission I played over and over again trying to kill it without destroying the gauss rifle. God I miss that game so many great memories playing through that game and it's expansion.
Something you may want to consider... that TTRulez AI mod that you used to have before (that allowed you to assign ai roles to each mech more intelligently) that you disabled because it broke a handful of mission times when Rasalhague came out has since been updated and fixed. It's worth getting your hands on once again.
You can about a multi mission at any point, the only negative is lost reputation l. So for example you could have played two of those battlegrounds and then aborted on the third. You'd keep all the rewards and pay out for the completed missions and just loose rep with the faction you were working for.
Man… in that last Duel the Enemy team was landing quite a few Head Shots… Once I switch to this Mod group I’ll have to rethink my Head Armor… I usually run 20 pts of head armor. Great Video! Still haven figured out how to get the latest DLC to load…
I wouldn't be surprised if the Coyote Mission pack tweaks AI behavior in duels to aim for more headshots. The AI in Mechwarrior 5 is not all that complicated. It starts to become complicated when all of the weapons and equipment in the game add a lot of AI modifiers which sometimes give the AI a case of the dumbs. Adding a quick line in duels to increase AI headshot attempts and successful hits could make that more likely that the enemy AI goes for that. As for loading the latest DLC, do you mean loading it into your game or triggering it in-game? Because the former you literally do it on the main title screen and the latter, just head over to the general vicinity of Rasalhague and you should eventually get an Incoming Transmission to start the mini-campaign.
@@MisterNi Yes indeed I’m speaking of the Rasalhague DLC.. I’ve been all over that part of space and see no new missions. Also from the Title Screen when I click on “DLC” I see the other DLC packs listed but not “Rasalhague”…
@@belliott538 Well, should I assume that you own the DLC, downloaded and installed it on the same platform? You'd need to load the DLC first before being able to add it into your game universe. Might be a silly question but you didn't do something silly like buy the Rasalhague DLC on a different platform, did you? Because I know someone who had the base game on Steam and bought the DLC on the Epic Game Store, so naturally MW5 couldn't find the DLC. Making sure to ask because I've seen people find ways to confuse the game and everyone else as to how they couldn't get something as simple as loading a DLC to work, hahah. 😄 Once you load the DLC, just make your way over to the general vicinity of Rasalhague space and you should get the first mission to start the DLC on the screen where you're on the bridge of your jump ship in the "Incoming Transmissions" menu.
@@MisterNi DOH!!! After digging deeper into this issue in my Steam Library… I discovered/recalled that I had set the game to a different version to support a Mod Pack that I was running… then Life happened and I forgot all about making this change. Looks like it’s time to start a fresh career… so long last career… it was a good one. O7 Thank you MisterNi… for talking me through and helping me think. Cheers!
I too enjoy building new mech variants. I like being able to have more active now for that reason. My best mechs for those missions needed and space for new builds and test models. Lol
I just started a new playthrough where my goal is to try every mech and variant and find builds that work for them all. Being stuck console side means I'm kinda fixed but you get some interesting combos
It was 1, the early mission where you had to find a powered-down Raven in the woods, then escape to the drop zone. As you got close, a Timber Wolf / Mad Cat shows up and chases your handful of Light mechs, and you're supposed to use an artillery strike to blow up a bridge and block the Timber. But timing it just right could hit the Timber and had a decent chance of getting the pilot to eject and leave you with that super-early Timber Wolf.
Let's see something with spinal mounted gauss rifles or heavy gauss rifles. You want a cockpit cracker then what better way than sending a 15 kilo solid iron slug into someone's coconut? Some more heavy laser action would be nice too, LRMs are nice but there is something satisfying about a laser light show.
u should realy start to phase out mechs that keep getting destroyed. while some 75+ ton mechs punch well above their weightclass, others dont hold up to well in extended missions, like the poor Marauder.. such an iconic mech, but in missions 90+ its just not very feasable anymore -.-
never understood why too much cooling is bad, sure i know more heatsinks means fewer weapons, and yes if your running TSM or other similar gear then you need some heat build up.. but there are always some builds that to me should benefit from running cold... after all if you run cold, you stay in the fight longer because you wont have emergency shutdowns from excessive heat... guess i've done too much OLD school tabletop when figuring heat, specially with close in mechs running flamers...that will heat ya up real quick.. which then confused me with MWO's ghost heat...
Do some Warzones and linger after the successful hold period. I’m usually staying for +20 million extra C-bills and my pick of dozens of mech loots. Do that a couple times per big build = no cash problems.
There are 3 different tiers of AI from Lt. to Cpt. to Major, with the latter being the best. Then there’s also the level of their 6 skills that plays a factor. If you’re fighting a Major AI with full skills, it’ll probably be harder than the average human opponent or even a good human opponent
Chainsaw was acting up this time. She said she was "on your tail commander", while being about 10 meters in front of Bara on 2nd mission. Then on the last one, she kept ignoring the "form on me" commands and running off after targets. She needs a raise! lol
is it possible for you to build the rhino with the two gauss c rifles and twin heavy ppcs, or would that be too heavy/slot intensive to do? Just an idea for whenever you get heavy ppcs that is.
There isn't really a point to HPPCs when you have access to clan ERPPCs. Same damage, same heat (unless the modders buffed the HPPC), but the ER has more range (and no minimum, but that doesn't matter here).
Baradul I've noticed recently you've got a lot of Juddering where loading games. Are you running off a HDD or SSD? Might be worth going to your %Temp% file from run and Clearing that as it will improve performance and overall load time will decrease
@Baradul and all other Mechwarriors: you buy slots for ammo right now, right? Wouldn't it be more real you would also have to buy the missiles or the ac ammo? So if Bara is #barabroke, he couldn't afford to put all the ammo for his lrms in the mech.....
My pilots know how to run any mech I have and I only run lasers and missle systems so... I don't like ballistics. I pretty much have 5 mechs that do it all so.
I am having a hard time find Coyote on the map, I thought she was at Terra but when I went there, she wasn't there to get. Does anyone know where I can find her?
@@Coyotekins Thank you, I apparently turned it into a girl since it didn't have a character picture and I won't keep the character as "nonbinary" gender, I picked one. I did find Coyote when I got my new game to rep8, so again, thank you very much.
listening to “hello mechwarriors how is it going” makes me happy in a hard day
I Just read that totally wrong, im sorry😂

Your style of playing and building is the primary reason I watch you versus others. Exploring builds and equipment is why I like this game so much.

Play for fun, and we'll have fun as well. :3
many people LOVED the way you played MWO !!!! it was just a small amount of tryhards that had a problem with the way you played the game
Got to say, I still fondly remember your video on the Awesome in MWO with the whole WAR DROBE bit. Every time i see an AWS in MW5 i yell that!!
5:59 nice Chumbawamba - Tubthumping reference 😅
Brudda do not let people give you hell for you wanting to have fun in MWO...some of my favorite matches are with my LRMbie Um-R68.
The moment with the Timberwolf is in mech commander 1. I grew up playing that game but struggled with it cause I was like 8-10 when I played it. MW 5 brought back all those memories since I didn’t do anything battletech in between.
A small tip. When you creating a build and you don´t have enough money just save the Layout go and sell some things and load the layout.
Not sure how to do. Will look tomorrow.
Although I’m More interested in how to copy a loadout to paste on to an identical twin mech…

That was mechcommander 1 :) kill the bridge and hope for the arti headshot to get the lovely Timberwolf super early 🎉
Black knight is sad knight right now.
Great Chumbawamba reference! 🍻
I have my Agincourt running 4 LRM 20 (C) tier 4, that boy is raining hell down on mechs at serious distance.
I am just sad that the lrm boat bonus doesn't cover clan weapons. :(
Command module needs ALL the slots in the head
I think it's MechCommander I with that Timbi - how about a run? 🤩

In duels U will deal with Coyote AI pilots which are better than vanilla AI pilots.
@Baradul Command Console takes all slots in the head. Generally not worth it, when you lose sniper, heat mng and combat computer
4:20 it's Mechcommander 1! I've recently started streaming it, and keep getting great headshots on Mad Cats/Timber Wolves!
Idea... Long Tom esque area effect cannons and precise headshot weapons? Nice mix or no?
I too enjoy building new mech variants. I like being able to have more active now for that reason. My best mechs for those missions needed and space for new builds and test models. Lol
@Baradul, on your 75ton Murauder, please move the Ultra AC10 Half Ammo from the head to somewhere else. Just seems like a death waiting to happen.

Good video, Bara. 👍
03:51 That had to be Mech Commander 1. I remember that sequence and never did play 2

They both had a salvageable madcat but one was about 3rd mission
Nice fights!
cant wait till next time when bara goes to use the rhino and finds only one gauss rifle in it,
Not gonna lie, that Archer looks like just my playstyle. Looks as fun as my srm/pulse med stalker.

Atlas A is crazy good
Sell the low tier stuff to fill the bank!
is there a version of the mod that adds the timberwolf that uses the MWO model instead of the classic model?
I feel like, somehow, the enemy AI is always a lot more clever during duel missions.

Was I mistaken,or did he take the other Gauss rifle off the stone rhino?
