    Holy shit Tex! You sounded excited by that salvage. Darn near how I did the first time I played through Mechwarrior 3 where you meet up with one of your Lance mates in that underground (mech production?) factory. The last room you have to fight a fucking annihilator! Just you(55 ton bushwacker, unless you were a lucky fuck and salvaged something bigger) and your lancemate (45 ton shadowcat/55 ton bushwacker) against "100 tons of 4x LBX-10s & 4 Med Pulse lasers, fuck you up and you're in range" annihilator from close quarters ambush. Did I mention the lancemate is gained the same time or as/after you engage the annihilator? Never did I expect to salvage that beast after shooting off his leg. Since I was still preteen/early teens I think I can be forgiven for yelling, screaming, and jumping up and down like a little kid when I saw the salvage screen with a MF-ing annihilator. Nothing like breaking out a salvaged mech that is 1 to 2 classes above the enemies you have been fighting! ( maniacal laughing )

      Marauder is just so good, right? Like, auto-include in any lance comp, because it's a good heavy on its own AND it makes your whole lance more durable just by existing. It's free braces for EVERYBODY, except the Marauder itself, but it's a long range mech to begin with. It's going to be sniping from the back anyway.

    • @Mikosah
      @Mikosah 3 года назад +5

      @@brandonbrown6922 It gets even better than that, the protection does include the Marauder itself, and it rounds in your favor. For instance, enemy LRMs normally do 4 damage a pop, but with the Marauder in your lance each gets cut down to 3 damage. So in effect 10% protection rounded up to 25% protection in this case, which is just as good as guarding against the LRMs. And that's not even to talk about the best thing of all- the improved called shot accuracy. Obviously the meme tactic is to pursue the glorious 35% headshot chance, but there's an alternative that's much more practical and just about as deadly. And that's using the precision shot ability to deliberately target the legs.
      Normally this is only practical if you either have way more firepower than you know what to do with, or if the enemy presents you with a nice side-shot. But with a well-equipped Marauder, you go straight for the kneecap even against an enemy assault mech facing you head-on and instantly knock him flat. The rest of the lance then secures an easy kill.

Plus the called shot bonus and the damage protection are devastating at medium and close range as well as the aformentioned snipey bullshit you can do with it. Anything at it's weight class or smaller will be picked apart by it at medium range, and anything at longer ranged you can either UAC5 or Gauss++.

    That VIP mission definitely highlights one of the things that REALLY irritates me in this game. The enemy AI knows *exactly* what it needs to do to win the game, and then goes and does it. It knows it's in a game, and acts accordingly. They focused down the VIP because they knew that was what was needed to make you lose the mission. And damned if they died causing you to lose.

      We don't get perfect intel, but the enemy always seems to. We don't get more than one lance, but the enemy certainly does. There is a point where the realism starts making things unfun.
      Also, realism in a big, stompy mech game AKA a totally unrealistic game shouldn't take precedent over the fun. However, what's fun for me might not be fun for you, hence I phrased my comment as "That VIP mission definitely highlights one of the things that REALLY irritates me in this game"

      My favorite way to play is with all melee - mass amounts of jump jets, small lasers, and MGs on fast mechs for the class. Not the best way though which is clearly all PPCs - long range, high accuracy/damage, snipe for CT at first and head with better pilots.

    • @Iknowtoomuchable

      I always use a Grasshopper with five medium lasers, six MGs, and every melee mod I can fit. Upon seeing the enemy, I sprint right at them, drawing all their fire, most of which misses courtesy of an evasion gyro. Then I jump-jet behind one of them and do a called shot on the rear center torso. If the enemy has any ammo in the center torso at all, it's a guaranteed kill. Even if they don't, it's a LOT of damage.
      Then, with my mech damn near overheated, I start punching.

    The Marauder is pretty great if you're sniping with called shots given its to-hit bonus. I kept one of those in my squad throughout my entire campaign with a couple of gausses (and basically everything else stripped for weight), even when the bigger mechs were available.

It's probably my favorite mech and making my Marauder hilariously busted was one of my favorite parts of my initial playthrough. ER PPC+++, Snubb PPC++, UAC/5++ and enough heat management bullshit do 2-3 alpha strikes without overheating. ..ah, memories...

      The balancing is still pretty brutal. Lots of 3 on 1 encounters. Campaign missions are a bit grittier now that I can't just headshot my way to victory. I still like the Comstar News Broadcasts the best though.

  • @weaselwolf
    @weaselwolf 3 года назад

    Marauders are so gloriously broken in this game. That Lance Command mod is solid gold. I had a four pack of marauders with tacticians, and the heaviest shit I could fit. 35% chance of headshots all around. Towards endgame they had plussed out Gauss rifles and large lasers. A full salvo had a decent chance of dropping any mech. Sadly the plot relevant NPCs all had headshot immunity but everything else just got wolfpacked. Started working for exclusively salvage

    The first time I encountered a marauder, Behemoth got cored really early on and I spent the next hour fighting it and his goons. My character was piloting an awesome with 3 ppc’s and eventually I was able to pummel it into the dirt. In the mission I lost one mechwarrior and the rest were injured for 30+ days. All of my mechs were in shambles and took weeks to fix. The worst part. On that contract, I had negotiated for no salvage cuz I needed cbills at the time. I was very sad.

  • @DirtyDandtheCrew

    If you want to break the game follow these "easy" steps:
    1.get a Marauder
    2. Put 3 UAC2's and 2 ERMedium lasers on it.
    3. Get a pilot that has the increase to called shot chance in the pilots seat.
    4. Aim at the head of any mech you see with called shot and enjoy the 35% hit chance.
    5. Profit
    This mech is now nigh unstoppable. Oh no is that annihilator? Well now it's head is gone from across the map and it's now your annihilator. Good luck finding 3 UAC2'S, but if you do it's game over.

    Dragonfall was my favourite. I enjoyed Returns a whole lot. I never finished Hong Kong. The whole game, I was picking the begrudging allies of convenience speech options when dealing with the triad boss. Then when you catch up to the amnesiac, the options were "Let him live," "Let him live, but be shitty about it," and "Kill him for Auntie". There was no option for, "Fuck you, eat bullet". At that point, I stopped playing. I've never felt the desire to finish it.

    I got familiar with the Battletech Franchise by playing Mechwarrior 2 and Mechwarrior 2 Ghost Bear so my default leanings were Clanner, and then all the following games have you playing as IS and that was cool too, but it wasn't until I started watching this channel that I really analyzed and looked at the politics and background of each faction closely. Now I can't bring myself to fight for the clans unless its Wolf-in-Exile.
