The aggression by the team in that first match was absolutely top-tier. Honestly all three games you had solid teammates (except of course the ones bent on coring you out in the second match), which was a really nice change to see.
I run mine with 12 small lasers and 2 large pulse. 280 light engine still gets me 75 speed. Out of all the crusaders. I think the 6T is the best. It is certainly has the most variety in effective builds.
Replace the side torso lasers with two snubs, and oh dear lord, you have a 65 ton beast. I dropped the engine to an XL 350 and took off two jump jets (3 total) to fit the snubs and is quickly becoming one of my favorite mechs to play.
Small lasers are OP in a group. The heat to dmg ratio is obscene. You can Swiss cheese an enemy and not overheat. I think a heat scale limit needs to be imposed on the IS small lasers
@@TimberwolfCY not quit the same. Clans only have ER and pulse (both way hotter) and no normal variant. You can not copy this performance wit er small on clan side, similar but not as effective as the IS version. Maybe different HSL values?
Nice dude. Very effective close range scrapper. Haven't play the crusader yet but maybe the big somewhat squishy arms are a trade off for having buttloads of weapon hardpoints?
Second video in a row with 3 fun games, thank you!!! (only the singing was horrible) :) Btw I just love that new map, finally something to brawl. I would be happy if the old HPG returned as "classic"; I know it was rotato most of the time, but still I enjoyed it.
one question: Why not use cooldown instead of heat gen? The small lasers barely have any heat gen anyway, so I'd think that cooldown skills would be more helpful, right? Same thing with heat containment, given how much time it takes to fill the heat bar, I'd think that prioritizing cool run over heat containment would actually allow it to shoot more
That first game was wonderful...you and a couple of little guys were tearing them up:) That second game you got hit by a lot of friendlies for some reason. Maybe they were just bad shots or they were aholes. The third game was a bit sloppy but you won so ok:)
I just started playing this game and am struggling so hard. Not sure if I just suck, or if it's the fact this is the first m&k game I've ever played, or if I just suck. Then again I think it takes skill to shoot a mech with 4 ppcs and end up with a total of 27 damage for the round.
The best beginner advice i can give you: Pick a medium mech you really like and SLOWLY branch out to more mediums and 1-2 lights and heavies. This has two advantages: a) Most medium mechs aren't overspecialized they tend to be more well rounded, and can teach you a lot about the game. b) Most enemies will focus fire on anything that's slow and/or comes with a lot of firepower for it's tonnage (hence medium mechs are usually low priority targets). A mech with 4 PPC's isn't exactly beginner friendly, BUT it appears to be a high threat target => you will get shot, a lot.
@@peterpan4038 I appreciate the advice. I started with a kintaro with srms and then lrms just trying to get a feel for things. Decided I wanted more armor so I got an annihilator. Missiles killed me so bad before I realized I could put 2 ams in it. Also dropped some weight and increased the engine slightly. But it was late so I will try again tonight. I really don't like how low the arm weapons are. Really was hoping my Mechwarrior 5 experience would help a bit. I guess for learning how to use the legs and torso separately it did. But I'm not head shot ting thing and it's angering me! Lol
Well they have a similar DPS I would wager. The Charger has a CD of over 50% with skills so shoots 7 small lasers about double as fast as this. This has therefore 14 of them. The Charger still has the far superior range with them though, is almost as fast and I think has a little bit of armor more. It is harder to play as constant DPS is harder to keep on an enemy as a few high alphas though.
@@wopachop4582 Well clans have always had possibilities of extreme laserboats. Starting with the piranha, over the nova up to the gargoyle or even somewhat possible with a direwolf. For the inner sphere though, they did not exist on that level.
So I've got a build almost identical to this, but I'm not sure about the targeting computer. An extra ton for 4m of range? Feel like could trim the JJs and the computer for some slightly heavier weapons on the shoulders.
Ehhhh, if you know the Crusader you have is XL engine, why tf would you aim to destroy the arms on another crusader that's got a laser build twice as heavy as you. They are 100% running XL, if you know a mech is XL, always aim to kill. Do not give your opponent the opportunity to land more hits than necessary, destroying the arm means they still get 7 or 8 pulse lasers to fire at you, destroying that torso means they get 0 pulse lasers to fire at you because they're dead.

I took ER smalls in the top 6 slots and standard range smalls in the lower 8 slots.

But not the Clan ones? LULZ

In today's lesson, we learned that the 'B' in TTB stands for Barbarossa.
I don't know, Tobias Barbarossa doesn't quite have the right sound in my ears.
with the high arms I have noticed its best to run snubs in the torso because so you have arent totally crippled after losing 6 weapons on the arms
5:15 Psy's "Gangnam Style", love the content TTB!
Imagine a Wolfpack of these 🤣
They're everywhere...
You don't have to, ran in a wolfpack, tears of viper, piranha and javelin pilots make an excellent condiment.
with piranhas...👀
"I said across her nose, not UP it!"
Ok, this video gets a big like for the Spaceballs reference!
He needs a plaid skin for the Mech.

That thing is a lethal disco ball! Love it!

Nice job TTB👍 I tried this using 14 ER Smalls….better range but a bit hotter. Arm lock?
I felt sorry for that stalker getting caught in the first game. He got eaten alive by little hungry mechs and TTB
That war horn wants to be in a black knight. This mech is more of an angry monkey, I think
Goddamn, that poor raven at the end of the second game got smoked by PPCs.
In the second game, the guy in the other 6T performed pretty much the same as you. If that doesn't sell the Crusader, nothning will. :)
Hell yeah ACE OF BASE!
power creep online. next week Crusader IIC with 20 laser hard points!

This variant basically made the Charger Small Lasers build obsolete, the very essence of power creep.
Well they have a similar DPS I would wager. The Charger has a CD of over 50% with skills so shoots 7 small lasers about double as fast as this. This has therefore 14 of them. The Charger still has the far superior range with them though, is almost as fast and I think has a little bit of armor more.

Gargoyle puts all small laser/micro laser mechs to shame if you use the right omni pods
@@wopachop4582 Well clans have always had possibilities of extreme laserboats. Starting with the piranha, over the nova up to the gargoyle or even somewhat possible with a direwolf. For the inner sphere though, they did not exist on that level.
12 small lasers, which generate 1/6 of max heat? - Obvious IMBA.
So I've got a build almost identical to this, but I'm not sure about the targeting computer. An extra ton for 4m of range? Feel like could trim the JJs and the computer for some slightly heavier weapons on the shoulders.
Tcomp is for crit chances.
@@themememerchant5064 OH RIGHT. That makes so much sense
@@themememerchant5064 Also for gain time, really handy for quickly capitalizing on anything open.
This is going to bo so fun
I think you need more small lasers
Piranha that doesn't have bad hit reg as armor.
7L is next?
NGL the crusader pack feel like one hell of 'pay2win' right now IMO.
why no ideal payment? no credit cards here...off topic but.... ;)
Should I buy the crusader pack?
yes
Bollocking the team for running tier 5 tactics 🤣
Sometimes you gotta say harsh truths in order to get the team to man up ^^
crusader is way too tanky and once you have lasers+machine guns it just melts everything
Lazors go woooosh

I am uninstalling game because this
