You would just die easier to other mechs shooting at you from the front, which is most mechs. Putting back armour on to protect against a just in case that makes you worse in every other scenario isn't a great idea. And more back armour wouldn't save you anyway, you would just get shot for a second time in the back. Learning to have better situational awareness will be far more useful, and will help you in other scenarios as well, just a good skill to have in general. Basically what snek said with more words.
i can taste the Assualt Mech frustration. You are the effing reason all my assaults have seismic, and my eyes are nearly always on my mini map. You've made me a much more aware and skillful player in awareness. now i just wish you'd help me aim.
This video really shows how little most players has a situational awareness when they don't see two or three friendlys dissappear from the mini-map behind themselves
Back armor's nice, it saves you from insta-dying to a backstabber, and if you're losing the fight, just literally turn tail and run, save the face armor for a better engagement.
I don't play MechWarrior Online, but I've played the older MechWarrior games. Is there no bounce back heat when damaging and especially killing adjacent mechs? Do mechs not turn into mini nukes anymore when they die?
hitting in my rear, while im playing a Dire Wolf isnt a thing for me. Have a friend he play always light and med mechs and guard/scout for me. perfect for killing backstabber, while i nuke the front 😄 Or the other way: he cap objectives, while im waiting around a corner. when he get attacked, he flee with his short mech to me and the most surprised enemy facing a DWF with 6x C-Ultra AC/5 at
My favorite part about this is that, based on the graphical quality (and maybe I'm wrong, I don't play this game), it looks like you're playing on a potato.
I've had this one set up for a while but could never make it work for me. Any tips for a fresh faced Light SRM Boat user? (context: I use the energy Commando to great effect, just can't make SRMs work for some reason)
@@sammcfadden5870 take advantage of map knowledge to get the flanks you need to sneak up on common sniper spots. Make sure to take radar deprivation skill nodes so that you can tell when you get spotted (little cockpit blip)
meta players: you shouldnt be running more than 2 back armor its not optimal
the jenner iic in question:
@@cakemixer6899 the funny part is. It's still meta to run minimal back armor. Just need situational awareness

just try spinning....
@ReinaSaurus that's a good trick!
@@the_sneaky_snek You guys keep telling people this, I'll keep stripping silly assaults.
Sometimes I think my reliance on seismic sensor is a crutch, and then Snek reminds me exactly why I keep it
They need to make a Euro-beat warhorn.
youre so fucking right

they left the sensors in the dropship. either that or clan finally developed stealth armor, what a disgrace.
I would like you to play battlefield for about 5 hours and tell me how much attention you played to the minimap over the actual fighting
entirely different game, entirely different playstyle, innit?
“I am the spy.”
Soup-prize....BUTSECKS!!!
That´s why all my assaults are CQB builds. By the time any flankers have killed the mechs behind me, I have already gone out in a blaze of glory
@@jamesmortimer4016 I just delete light mechs with gauss instead
Best series in Mechtubing
@@theElfster I think the full playlist is nearly at 4 hours now
8:33 You can just barely hear them screaming in their cockpit above the eurobeat
The man, the myth, the menace himself.
You are part of the judge panel for the 'idiots cant use their eyes or turn around' competition. Keepin it real for flankers everywhere 👍
so that is what happend! I think you got me once during your recordings! wyat a dumb mech... I love it
As a fan of light mechs, I love this. Even if the Jenner is the derpiest looking mech in the game.

You're the reason why I run two lbx 20s on my direwolf cuz nothing says fuck a light like their legs being blown off
Remember you only need Armour if your Mech skips leg day
Snek is back!
Victory / Kills:4 / Damage:130 / Ranking: [ ⬇]
Haha happy I am not in the video xD Year ago I ignored *SOME* jenner and was inspected :D
I've gotten nailed by you in the past. I keep a much closer eye on the mini map now and always try to get seismic.
Snek and his back door action! Nice work!
LUL that was me in the locust at 0:53 i thought i was safe untill i got blown up and told to sit down.
@@TheCartoonguy123 rest in Pepperoni's
This looks like a *very* fun build hahaha I might have to try this out.
Sometimes I wonder why people even have back armor if it's going to be so thin.
cause OCD dictates it looks horrible to look at a paper doll that doesn't have complete armor at the start. xD
Hitting from the front and back I see.
The MWO Baradul thumbnail font is crazy

10:48 when you hear that music and you know the Extra Spicy Pepeg moment is coming
Ah, good ol' light pilots being problems 💜.
this is exactly why splash damage and splash heat is sorely missed in MWO. lights should fear killing something at point blank range. (IMO)
Peak sneak at the end there xD
me with 40% of my armor put in my back;
we're so back skibidi jenner bros

lol that stone crusher had 9 med xpulse and 3 large xpulse lol
Tempted to drop some ammo and add a targeting computer for max lol alpha hits.
It's already fairly tight on ammo. And a targeting computer does not increase your alpha lol
Commando who!?

in the newer MechWarrior's there are reactor explosion's. however they don't really do mech. MechWarrior online has no reactor explosions
BIG Like:^)
Oh good, I'm not in this one.
priceless LMAO

Too slow, with RL120 the target just has a mech aneurysm and most of the time will ask 'what happened?'
@@Alcyeragraeth I prefer my mech to not be completely useless after the first kill

@@eazolan the (O) is just a cbill boosted version of the normal JR7-IIC bought off the mwo website store. (Origins pack)
Hey I want to thank you for not using this in comp.
For LaviathanDown ;3
funny as fuck until your name appears in the top left in red :D
Troll builds like this make it an annoying game.
