This is exactly what my very first customized mech was made of when I played the OG Battletech tabletop game: 7 medium lasers and a 45 ton mech! I called it the Laser Blazer (I was only 15). Thanks for bringing it to life Bara!
Thats me in the Warhammer....I'm so sad!! It was awesome to see Baradul in a match. Been watching your channel for a year and this is how you treated me on the first time we were in a match together! haha good game!
Yeah, the disconnects seem to be getting crazier for some reason, every game now seems to have at least one, sometimes 2 to 4, with two on each side. SOMETIMES people get reconnected in time, but not often. Being a Mid-Range skirmisher is a little harder too, especially without ECM. An I keep running into a 130 LRM Blood-Asp build that SOMEBODY created... it's fine if there's one, but there were two on the other team the other night... was not fun lol.
It's been a while since i played, but almost "every match seems to have one" seems about the same as when i last actively played (last summer-ish?). Sadly, the common crash to desktop generallly means they won't reconnect, because on one hand the loading times (and number of loading screens) take pretty long and on the other, there's often lights that beeline for enemy spawns if they catch a disconnect, so reconnecting is about 80% chance of wasting your own time when you could be getting into playing another actual game. Of course, if the ywere just AFK (actual ping)... screw them. :P
I used to think MW was kinda lame, because of the slow game play. But damn dude this mech changes all that, i think I'm gonna really try to get into it, I wish more mechs were designed like this cool looking cool fighting Badass mech.
Hi there @Baradul! Nice content as always! I got into your channel because of the Roguetech playthroughs, but these build videos got my attention and I'd like to try mechwarrior online, which I downloaded and got immediately overwhelmed by the interface. I have no idea what is going on there. Do you think you could do an updated beginners guide video or something along those lines? Might also help you get some more views if you have more subscribers interested in both games
Love the content. Haven't seen a whole lot of good builds for the marauder IIC - D. I'm currently running 2 UAC-20's, 2 SRM6's, and a heavy large laser. Would love to see what you think of that build.
win/loss should be the only metric for the purposes of match earnings and pilot tier. It's the only accurate measurement of your impact on matches over a large sample size. Scouts, flankers, and commanders get screwed over by how performance is currently measured.
yeah the tier system is a bit whack. It's cool that it feels like it has to be earned, but there are so many useful things that people do that goes unloved. Flanking and drawing fire can turn a match around, the the one doing it will still come out with a drop in their ranking
@@steelshanks1265 what can you recommend? I've been trying to find a fun loadout for the griffin Ares, but it hasn't come to anything. I've run the hunchback IIC A laservomit w/ 2x HLL + 4xHML FOR. EVER. And I've recently been using the Highroller to boat dual light gauss rifles, which is really fun. But I'm looking for another dependable
@@beezzarro First off, Griffn's are great Mechs... so congrats on that. For Ares I'd go 1xMRM30, 4xML, Light Engine 260, and then slap some AMS on it. The MRM30 is great, I use it on My Hunchback-4J and My Centurion-AL. You'll have a blast. Get all the missile nodes, it's like a missile machine gun.
I got some build ideas for you to give a shot, assuming you ever see this comment. Two urbanmechs The first, one of my favorites, the UM-R60 4 HMG's with 3.5 tons of ammo. 2 flamers. 4 jump jets XL180 engine A beagle active probe And enough single heat sinks to let it work. you can modify it and remove the beagle to get the slots needed to run on doubles but I don't feel it's needed the second one the UM-R80(L) the stealth urbanmech Featuring 5 jump jets. guardian ECM 3 light PPC an XL180 engine stealth armor And 3 extra double heat sinks. if you paint it a dark color you can sit htis thing in a lot of plain sight spots while in stealth and pick people away 15 damage at a time.
I'm brand new to MWO, and feel like a lot of the videos are older, but I have no idea how you perform like this with how experienced the community is. I've only encountered one other cadet, and I mainly came here because MW5 reinvigorated my enjoyment of the franchise. Would it be possible to come back an do an updated guide for new players and possibly point us towards units that are willing and able to bring in newbies? I know the competition teams probably don't want us, but it'd be nice to get out of quick play and actually learn from people in the action. It's great to have an idea where to take the skill tree, but starting out the SPs aren't there and I'm worried about how neg some of these people are going to be when the cadet tag goes away.
For light mechs you have = Kitfox, mist lynx G and artic Cheetah shard. why these 3? they have Jumpjets and make it possible to avoid encounters with flea and piranha and they have an alpha rating of 80 For medium mechs there are a lot to pick. the 40's plays as 35tons. the 45 are a gamble and the 50's most of the time better. the 55's are slower. artic wolf is able to reach 130kph but is a land based mech with no Jumpjets. The Nova has jumpjets and 16+1 highest amount of hardpoints in the game. The heavy plays as assault, they have max speed of around 81 Timberwolf and Linebacker but they are capable with Jumpjets and the best missile boats are found in the heavy category. Assault is the get go for stomping. The best heavy ballistics are found in assault. In many cases assault are the only category where autocannon is vital. In most other cases missiles and lasers are better for lower tonnages. Standard engines and standard heatsinks takes play as it has better performance on an assault. weapon; MRM40, high damage, low tonnage, suited for light mech. rotary ac2, face-time weapon for medium mech. Gauss secondary weapon with almost no heat for heavy mech fired all the time, should be put on any heavy mech if possible. ER Large laser, reduces taking damage by range,suited for any mech but work well for assault since you take less damage from range. Medium ranged mechs tend to be too slow and this is where it kicks in.
@@eyemastervideo Thanks for the vote of confidence, but the fact of the matter is that I'm a far better deadlifter than I am an MWO player :D :D :D Should gitgud, though, at least try to!
@@tapioperala3010 You can do it man, I also got clobbered quite a lot in the early days but with a few reps you'll get there! And yeah, don't stray too far from the team for starters and position yourself well where you can take shots, but not get hit (or hit your teammate).
You play so many mechs and with every mech you say how good the mech is. Could you maybe make a video where you compare the mechs so weit maybe can see who's the fastest, who's the one with most damage and most hp
Technically small pulse deals better damage than medium because it has 2x less heat and shoot faster which means you get 2x as many shots. This means that for 1 small pulse you get 8 damage vs 5 damage of a medium laser and the ranges for a medium is short that a fast engine is able to compensate. By the time the medium laser mech has shot their lasers you will over time make higher damage since you have 2x less heat. In terms of weight , range, damage the er large laser is the most effective, still not as much when it comes to heat but you can not get away with any better weapon in terms of range and damage and weight. This is why any mech is able to use it in any tonnage and it stacks with the team. Because of recent discover that mist lynx has a broken animation who disable hit registration, dedicated streak boats are going to be needed in the future as piranha games has closed the production on MWO for now.
Woop Woop. These videos never get old. I hope you'll keep putting them out as long as MWO is still alive.
This is exactly what my very first customized mech was made of when I played the OG Battletech tabletop game: 7 medium lasers and a 45 ton mech! I called it the Laser Blazer (I was only 15). Thanks for bringing it to life Bara!
I'm 35 and loving the nickname anyway 😅
@@docthorr Thanks!
Baradul you're an absolute icon of the MWO scene, always excited to see your next upload. Thanks!
Thats me in the Warhammer....I'm so sad!! It was awesome to see Baradul in a match. Been watching your channel for a year and this is how you treated me on the first time we were in a match together! haha good game!
Great demonstration of flanking and skirmishing to wreak havoc in the battlefield! Thanks, Bara!
It's nice to see the humble medium laser get some love.
I appreciate the Rick Hunter paint job!
Thanks! These videos have taken on a whole new quality now that actually play.
The not so daily dose, which is nonetheless much appreciated 👍🏻
Great job on that pretty stompy-bot
I do love this mech so much. I didn't even think I was going to when I got that pack, but the medium lasers are so nice.
That's one of my biggest issues with skirmishers and scouts in most games. There's no good mechanic to award for diversion.
Yeah, the disconnects seem to be getting crazier for some reason, every game now seems to have at least one, sometimes 2 to 4, with two on each side.

They might be afk and come back. Only a dead enemy is a good enemy

That's a nice Veritech you have there, Baradul.
I love it! It looks like a VF-1J!

I like how the AFK Supernova still did 3 damage.

I actually run mine with 6ML and 1LL (280xl) despite the ML quirk. And max jump jets, never skimp on the jump jets on this beauty!
I miss you making mwo videos, but understand why you don't.
I like the MWO series..Like Mech 5LOKL, have to think on your feet...faster missons that Rouge Tech...
Man why do mechs bounce/jump/almost float on the terrain? Is there no sensation of mass given in this game?
Curious why you went full survivability tree instead of mobility tree
hey sag mal, was hältst du(ihr alle) von dem einsatz von target computern?
I want a mech, Baradul uploads a video on it. like clockwork. thank you
Being a Laser Master, I was hoping the mech would be named Dirk Dirtdigger. 😄
I'm just imagining how much more effective your damage would be with arm lock on.
This has Robot Jox theme all over it honestly
I want to get into MWO, but I always get dumpstered by the small, but committed community. Any tips on starting mechs to run?

First match king crab got 781 damage and no kills from their team. Ouch.
I noticed that too.. certainly wasn't a lack of participation from the Crab.
Man... You're racking hundreds of points of damage, and I'm happy to get 50 points of damage 😂

nice macross paintjob
100% vf-1 from macross
It's nearly the identical paint scheme of the VF-1J Valkyrie, I had a 1980's flashback the moment this video started.
The color scheme remind me of macross
Erster?
First?
I use the hell out of this same type of build in MW5 Mercs because it is honestly a really good mech in low tier and mid tiers
