@Ian Robertson He meant the best to stream the title, not the most skilled, even though according to Jarl's he's in the top 1,5%. Personality wise he's the most pleasant to listen to and he also narrates the gameplay in a very interesting and insightful manner often commenting on his tactics and intentions in a way other streamers don't. I think that's what Inci Acci meant.
Same here, don't feel bad. I just can't get a feeling for the aim in MWO. Mechwarrior 5 feels way better to me in regards to accuracy of my placed shots.
Just finished a game with 7 killing blows and a little over 1000 damage done with this build! I normally struggle to break 400. Thanks for the build baradul!
I have a couple optimization suggestions for you, Baradul buddy! For the Right arm, use COU-PRIME because you get a +5% energy range bonus quirk that comes with it (every little bit helps :D ) Then, for the left arm, choose COU-C because it comes with a +10 base armor quirk, which allows you to keep the arm armor at a much more respectable level (23 points on both Right and Left arms) Even if the arms aren't all that important, again, every little bit helps! And it makes your heat sinks that much safer throughout the match :D
That second game is the story of all games I had in the past week. Every. Single. Game. Like wtf is one supposed to do? If every match goes 1-12 or 2-12 it can hardly be any single person's fault. And if you're unlucky and happen to be targeted, you end up with dismal match scores and your rating plummets into nothingness, even though you have done "nothing wrong".
@Ian Robertson Had the match the other day domination, running 3x LRM boats and me in a narc light, whole team yolos and dies, its 5v8. whole team was crap talking us for our positioning, but it was domination so we were in place to defend the circle, not charge like Skirmish. Yeah we slaughtered everyone via narc as they walked to the circle and won. People were still talking crap as we won them the game after they yolloed into an ambush in the kill valley on Grim Plexus. These people who think, oh the team got destroyed guess its just the matchmaker and I can not do anything are idiots.
@Ian Robertson spoken like the comp tryhard , its not about positioning badly , its all about how the matches are lined up , when you have a mistmatched team there is nothing you can do you can make all the right moves and just get rolled due to MM being dumb and not assembling proper matches , ive seen good players stacked on one side with a Tonnage advantage to boot how can you win against that when your out tonned and out Tiered the MM is just throwing together stuff willy nilly not calulating proper things to speed up match making times , its just piss poor MM and at this point would be better if we just had no Tiers at this point and just matched on even tonnage limits would be roughly the same just with out the stress of losing tier to bad matching and would speed up the times and have less of the same match setups over and over
@Ian Robertson You obviously haven't been playing MWO long with a comment like that. MWO is one of those games where if your team falls apart and doesn't work together it doesn't matter how good you are. You will not win.
I remember that game. I was one of the fire supporters. That MM definitely had a hickup. Although i have to say .... dmg numbers weren't too far apart.
The build: mech.nav-alpha.com/#3201e285_COU-H, used Prime right arm for 5% energy range, C left arm for 10 free armor. All DHS to left arm, right arm is shield. mech.nav-alpha.com/#5644672d_COU-H You can also go full COU-H, cant peek as well because PPCs are in right arm but you will have 4xJJs, DPS is almost the same (3.82 vs 3.72) because of the -10% energy heat, mech.nav-alpha.com/#07a9720d_COU-H
I tried a better version of his build (worked better for me) by sacrificing one high mount for jets. Then I found out that I can do the same stuff without any sacrifices by switching to Purifier fox. My fave 2xCERPPC carrier is Summoner with Shadow Cat close second, still it can be built on lights and be effective. Not these days though, nowadays you need high DPS fat carry mechs or expect stomps due to weight balancing not working at all.
You did well with mech but then again you do well in any mech. I kept wondering how much better a Shadow Cat would be with 2 erppc, ECM, jumpjets, 123 kph when using MASC.
On the one hand, it’s a nice build. On the other hand, would YOU want to sit in a cockpit with two weaponized particle accelerators less than five feet away?
Fun little mech! I still prefer the Adder Prime for twin PPC shenanigans for the better hitboxes and actual decent maneuverability. Plus the poor man's ECM thing Adders have going on.
Hey, that's impressive as usual. I would like to see you in an adder with this build...has better quirks for ppcs and more speed.. Gracias for the video!
I did this build but failed, then switched my torso's back to the H version for the Jetpacks, dropped the armor in my left arm to 12, maxed my right arm armor and put the two PPCs in the right arm. Got a targeting comp and 3 x double heatsinks. having way more success now. Although I'm playing a bit more snipery.
Baradul - How about a Fafnir build. I've been using 2 lb20's and 2 heavy PPC's for a 70 burst damage alpha. It's pretty mean. Hot, and slow, but effective.
@baradul th-cam.com/video/uboup0XqEww/w-d-xo.html 4:47, no it doesn't look like it registers on the paperdoll, even though your crosshair shows a hit register.
I feel like there are a lot of problems with hit registration lately. It's going in to strange spots, and today I couldn't kill anything for the life of me, while I got shredded by pretty much everything. Could just be an off day, but it's really, REALLY off if so.
Do they have clans in this game? (I’m talking about social group clans Not the clans that invaded the inner sphere.) Every time I try to search online I come with with game lore wich is the wrong type of clan
They really need to fix the matchmaker it’s is gear way to much toward PSR and not enough toward Weight. Also they need to shorten the wait time from 4 mins to 1 min for matchmaker to drop you in a lower Tier match. Matches are taking too long for Tier 1’s and I’m assuming the same issue for Tier 5’s.
see this is why MECH type matters in MM not just pilot PSR , the Comp tryhards would argue that a good pilot can do well in anything BLAH BLAH BLAH the MM needs to factor in TONNAGE limits too and balence the teams accordingly , matching ton for ton ,class and class and pilot skill there should never be a tonnage discrepency of more than a few tons ,never by the amount of tons say to field another mech or two to make up the difference between the two teams PGI really needs to get there MM fixed and stop catering to the tier 1 percents , lately 1 out of 10 matches might be a nice balanced match the rest are stomps in one direction or another doesnt make for fun drops at all just adds to MWOs issues
@@Baradul I find if you aren't having to drag your torso behind the retical when none of your weapons are on your arms you are far more likely to line up the shot. Imo
@@VulpezInculta The movement is super sway-y with arm lock on and I can't hit anything with it. My muscle memory is trained for arm-free movement. I am just better with that.
The matchmaker is definitely weird these days and it's no fun to be "heavily" outmatched... unfortunately it is occurs more often, some times x times in a row... 🙄
@@Tw1st3dZA Today in 2 matches my team had no assault mechs but the enemy 5-6 and in 6-7 other matches my team was clearly totally outmatched in skill... we were slaughtered... this is not fun at all... the matchmaker is killing the game... 😡
Yea the matches got weird awhile back, one night 700plus dmg per game if you don't do anything overly stupid, then next night lucky to break 200 dmg, shots that show a ht not giving or doing dmg etc. then weird teams from good ole MM. Ok to still watch but that's about it. Sad really speaking.
yeeess... hit registration made the game so frustrating for me that i lost interest again :/ you see explosions of acs and stuff on the mech but no damage..multiple times.
so it looks like pgi changed matchmaker cause a few people cried about group drops and now the game is even worse. why pgi? i play with my friends and we dont care if were on the ame team, we actually like it when we go up against each other. the game has very little life left in it and your killing it
This is absolutely the worst Matchmaker behavior I have seen. I have been on 1 assault mech teams vrs. many but never seen 6 v 0 before. GET OFF THE CRACK MATCHMAKER!!!

I’m glad to see your back making regular MWO vids. You’re actually my favorite TH-cam channel. Very entertaining!

"So we get the High ground here, so it's over, Anakin!" 🤣
Best reference
Baradul: Fires at two pixels halfway across the map, hits both PPCs. Me: Can't hit the broad side of a direwhale..
Same here, don't feel bad. I just can't get a feeling for the aim in MWO. Mechwarrior 5 feels way better to me in regards to accuracy of my placed shots.
Might try adjusting mouse sensitivity. And check your posture. Both have affected my aim.
Even with an "slow" ppc.. velocity should be more than 2k for me, and super zoom is mandatory..I don t see anything 🤓
trust me you'll get there (remembers that time nailing the top pixel of light mech with triple heavy PPCs when it was peeking over a ramp)

Today on cooking with Baradul, cold Cougar & roasted nuts.
Matchmaker, I think it's time for an intervention. You're drunk all the time. :/
I remember that game. I was one of the fire supporters. That MM definitely had a hickup. Although i have to say .... dmg numbers weren't too far apart.
There are many other matches with the cougar that are not shown because they are all stomps thanks to the new PSR system. :(
Klienpo The PSR system isn’t the issue it’s the matchmaker. They never set the matchmaker back to normal after implementing the new PSR system.
Look at that, assault mechs actually do have an impact to the game XD
The build: mech.nav-alpha.com/#3201e285_COU-H, used Prime right arm for 5% energy range, C left arm for 10 free armor.

You weren't kidding about high mounted weapons. Wow.
The Nova makes a great dual torso PPC carrier too since it has good hard points and jump jets.
I like this build more on the Shadow Cat. The JJs and MASC make a big difference for only a few tons more.

Baradul, In the second game you had "nada de nada" : "gar nichts"
nice build tought matches
You should try this build again now that there is a Cougar with JJs.

No, about that second game you are complaining but you have the right to. Your team got screwed over.
you got that right, those Rifleman should have been Jagermechs ;)
so uhh, yeah that first match it looked like half your shots didn't register, I saw no damage several times.
