Battletech - Also known as Trannytech

The "clanners" don't act like actual clan mech warriors the main cast act like zoomers not indoctrinated vat grown super soldiers surviving the hell that is clan society. I hated the writing and found the gameplay to be slightly better than MW5 thanks to the added additions however the Ai is still bad and playing as clanners sucks.

I admit i am i not that deep into the lore. i played a bit of the HBS battletech and fell off. then touched mercenaries which was ok. im sure it has its faults i just like it for what it is. a budget call of duty mech thing. i have not seen any non binary trans wheelchair fat clanners yet :)

Exactly ejection system are needless extra tonnage that could be put to use for more ammo or other useful parts. Who needs safety measures just don't die or at least take them with you.

Reminds me of the last stanza.

That's fair and the games do feel like they are for a wider audience as I understand that they want to make more money. With mods the games can feel more table top and detailed, but I understand that most people may just want "budget call of duty mech thing" even if it annoys me.

If you liked MW5, MWO would be something you'd enjoy more if you want more fast paced game play.

You don't even need mods for that. You can already fit quad ERPPCs on a Warhawk or Direwolf. [A direwolf can fit more, but that would be impractical.] It'll core most mechs in 1-2 salvos, even other omnis. [The tricky part sometimes is landing each PPC burst on the center torso and not accidentally hitting the sides.]

I do thank you for your suggestion and I'm quite aware of those mechs. The warhawk I always pull the lurms for more DHS. (Been meaning to try a supercharger).

But a big part of this and all games to me is rule of cool.

Nothing is as cool as an Awesome with 4 clan erppcs.

Its a brick shaped house of fuck you. Then jam even more firepower on it from the debatable most broken weapon in all BT history.

Plus it's sexy looking.

Not much to say on it other than fuck CGL.

Seen some posts by a guy named Minis & Dumbells pointing out their hypocrisy on it. CGL forced the dice company to stop making dice because they don't own the rights to BT (which CGL keeps forgetting they don't own the series either), but they're fine with Jason Livermore (the faggot that hid behind the Faith McClosky persona) using artwork & designs from BT for his own published works.

finally got bored enough to get myself MW5 clans
kinda like it so far, way faster paced than MW5 mercs, and it so easy to loose limbs. AI finally can jump over terrain to cross it and not use jets randomly in battle.
Having an actual story and characters is nice.
However, is it just me or do the faces of people look weird? like they always show teeth for no reason, and Jayden's face is so unsettling to look at, it is almost like his eyes don't belong to his face and he stole them from some asian guy. It might be intentional since all the genetic fuckery clans into it, but it doesn't make it less uncunny.

If it was baronofdice, they're still selling battletech dice. This has been a weird little shit show though


CSO artist promotes another company's product, CGL gets butthurt. CSO artist gives the 40th anniversary dice a shit review, gets an "us or them" ultimatum, artist says fuck it because the conflict of interest excuse was lame and he didn't want to let a company that didn't pay him properly dictate how he runs his shit, and apparently he had sold mech minis in the past and somehow that wasn't an issue but the dice thing is. Even though the guy had basically been promoting nothing but battletech on his shit for 3-4 years.

The teeth thing seems to be a problem across the board but the sibko characters all look completely munted.

Going to get mw5 clans this weekend. There's a great MWO event on but too much time to play for me for the goodies. (Shame want smoke jags camo also nice free mechs).

For actual TT need to start a new campaign for our group. I'm thinking of actually stealing the plot of mw4 vengeance and running with that.
 
BITCHES BORN IN THE PENTAGON CLUSTER CAN'T FIGHT DIRTY, CAN'T JURY RIG THEY MECHS, THEY DON'T WANT TO WAR, NOTHING. NIGGAS IN THE INNER SPHERE GET INTO CONFLICT WITH THEM AND WONDER WHY THEY SHIT AIN'T WORKING THAT'S BECAUSE ALL THESE SIBKO BITCHES WANT TO DO IS POP CHEMS, ISSUE TRIALS, RUIN PERFECTLY GOOD EQUIPMENT, COMMIT INCEST, EAT HOT ARCTIC CHEETOS (Brought to you by Clan Diamond Shark™) DEMAND BATCHALLS AND LIE ABOUT KERENSKY'S PLAN

The day of the TAG-guided Arrow IV cannot come soon enough, brother.

I have no experience with TT campaigns or anything longer than a single battle and how those run, but I do know about hosting shit and I can help with that possibly.
I still think I owe you some MWO games too.

That shit can be hilariously busted if you have a VTOL flying around getting rear shots for the AIV but I've always liked cluster more. 20/10 damage and its all shots from above? You can pretty reliably headcap mechs if you get a direct hit.
 
ok is it just me or the game has some memory leak issues?
i didnt had any staders in mw 5 mercs but here after like 4 hours my fps drops to like 5
 
I'm getting late game in Clans and am walking around with a full star of Executioners loaded out like this:

It's working pretty well but I'd like to hear about whatever fun builds you guys have been working with.

My late game go-to was two mechs:
Warhawks with just 4 ERPPCs and all the remaining tonnage put into DHS and extra armor
And Direwolfs with 4 ERPPCs, 4 MPLs, and as much DHS as I could cram into it [With maxed out speed and maneuvering chassis upgrades to make it as fast as a warhawk]
