The Marauders want you to spend your morale on Called Shots more so their beautiful, beautiful command modules can double the Called Shot percentage for you.
Average intelligence IS merc pilot of the time: “Hey, get load of this guy Marv, oh I got fancy conmand module, like we got standards all of sudden. Now quiet up and get back to cramming munitions in that mech, and no I dont wanna hear about your fancy “case” either.”
Every engagement is easy "in theory" when fighting Taurians. Then you remember that you're fighting Taruians and go "why is everything on fire?"
They do have a tendency to just wreck shit
@@theblackpantslegion Taurins. the hippos of battletech.
Imagine triggering a mechwarrior’s PTSD by strobe lights or laser pointers..
thumbs up for evilness
Any day above 30 degrees celsius outside just start pancking for an over ride button
Battletech, the Tale of Scrombles.
Episode 15: *How do you miss a building? You're right in front of it.*
Teaching Liao the true meaning of x-mas, one AC20 round at a time.
HEY THERE MR. LIAO, MERRY FUCKIN XMAS!!!
Isn’t that the holiday where where you X out mas mechs?
LB20-Xmas, where the lasers are green and red, the Catapults puts the missile back in mistletoe, and when Comstar clears out their annual naughty list, in time for the new year.
@@Dudeosaurus your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missile!
@@michaelkimberling7307 I'm going to shove coal so far up your stocking that you'll be coughing up diamonds.
Who else shouts PRECISION SHOTS at the screen? T-bolts blow up easily when you get to the meat in the CT.
the +10-15% to hit is very handy when shooting those fast movers.
For me its more of "dont go into minimum range with the Archer".
I'm really interested as to how he's going to fare in some of the harder missions without those shots. It's gone from frustration to curiosity. Anyway, I'm just here to listen mostly.
Yeah, the bloody thing's a death trap when pelted with MGs or LRMs. Probably seen more of them brew up from the CT ammo than any other cause.
Also facing and keeping spare mechs, and ejecting rather than losing pilots. But oh well. It's still fun to watch.
TWO BPL vids in one day... its a goddamn Christmas miracle!
3 depending on if you count a day as a 24 hour period rather then starting and ending at midnight
Was gettin antsy to see what happened next, the last few have been getting to be real nail bitters. The best way to describe it is the MW2 intro quote "Look on the bright side kid, atleast you get to keep all the money."
Oh my God an Ameris civil war game in the style of this game would be THE coolest thing ever.
How many other people were yelling. "Turn the stalker into the fire."that poor right side...
Three Scrombles episodes on Christmas Eve! Thanks for the gift Tex.
No problem!
Archangel is gonna drop once more
Damnit all Tex! I demand you get in a time machine to go back in time and make your past self come forward in time to hear my grievances!!!1!1!!one!!1!
Love the scrombles vidjéos man
Working on the holidays sucks. Thanks for keeping me company Tex.
Poor Scrombles, they had to hose him out of the cockpit of that Stalker.
AutoCannon 5's punch big holes in everything... headshots for everyone
@john smith there's AC 2, 5 , 10 and 20..I'm guessing you mean 10's
He's referring to the fact that AC/5's do waaaay more dmg than they should (relative to table top rules) in the game. Most dmg in the game is ~ 5x the TT values.
(AC/5) x 5 = 25 dmg
45 dmg / 5 = (AC/9)
@@micklepickle93 oh ok
Scrombles: it will be a milkrun! "ten seconds later..." NAILBITER! :)
Stalker is a fucking beast of a mech, I'm surprised it's not more popular.
Even the base model 3F is a beast on the tabletop, as I found out today as it tore apart a Warhammer.
The Stalker is a Universal Carrier writ very large, and like the UC has a coarse, utilitarian appearance. Back in the MW2:Mercs days it was often called the “walking football”. A lot of people who got into BT back then may also shy away from it still because the old “bounding spheres” hit detection used in the MW2 generation of games was especially unkind to the Stalker.
when we started Battletech a very very long time ago... Stalker was one of my bro's fav mechs whereas i liked the Wolverine.. we sort of had our own fav's. He liked Marauder .. i liked Warhammer, he liked the Jenner... i preferred the Panther. He preferred missile boats... i really liked a 100 ton mech with jump jets and 2 x AC20 :)
I love marauders in this game, you stack their bonus to called shots with the buffs you can get on a mech warrior and you can get a pretty consistant 35% called shot to the head. combine that with an AC20, or a couple PPCs, or just a black knight turned medium laser disco ball of death and you'll be splattering mech warriors out of their cockpits and picking up mostly intact mechs pretty damned consistently
Bit of a setback last episode, but that's just Battletech. Let's drop once more and collect those sweet, sweet C-bills!
A merc company that gets clobbered and rebuilds is a success. A merc company that never gets clobbered is just lucky... for now.
Christmas Merry to Tex and the BPL!
So has Tex completely forgotten using resolve for called shots or removing freaking instability??????
Yes. But, on the upside it's a good way to show people what not to do. LOL
This is funny to me because I never use assault mechs and barely use heavies. I'm a light mech scout pilot myself and prefer my fighting forces nimble.
Wait... Marc Summers had OCD and still managed to endure several years of hosting Double Dare with a smile? That man's a hero.
I have to agree that HBS either underestimated the potential audience for this game, or else deliberately lowballed their expectations just to avoid overextending themselves.* Even if the franchise languished for a decade or so, MechWarrior and MechCommander left a pretty sizeable mark on a generation of PC gaming, and plenty of reviewers cited those games as their entry points into the BT universe.
*(Mitch Gitelman almost certainly had bad career experiences with hype trains going off the rails, especially after his time working for Microsoft, judging from the weariness that creeps into his voice whenever he talks about the "lessons" learned there. With BattleTech, he was always very conservative about announcing or confirming features in development, and was probably the same way when it came to gauging the company's potential risk vs. reward.)
Yep. And it was extremely bad ocd. Saw an interview once. Like he had a housekeeper he really liked, who did a great job, but things like the fringe
On rugs not lying perfectly flat and even triggered him, even though he kne it was nuts it bothered him.
Christmas Scrombles is always welcome. Hope Tex and CO are having a good holiday season.
I love watching scrombles stomp, I play this game a lot as well and I know Tex wont like this but. Use your inspiration, and abilities! Your tactics are perfect but you have things to tip the game to your favor. I said my peace, love you see you on the station.
Problem is, these were all recorded months ago.
Glad I'm not the other one mentally screaming that at the screen.
I’m not sure he ain’t deliberately trolling.
2....2! Scrombles in one day?! It's a Christmas Miracle!
It's the Black Pants Legion taking the promised Christmas Dump. I couldn't be happier than to see our boy Scrombles sharing Christmas cheer one dakka at a time.
Yeah, walk to the extract zone when it's easier just to use those Urbies to wipe everything out. Got a starter lance of Urban mechs with one of the mods...yeah, I am not walking any further than I have to.
Mmmmm more Scrombles episodes. Christmas came early... phrasing
Looking through the mod for this game, stuff like RogueTech and MW4 sounds and VanillaPlus with the community assets pack. Great stuff, and doesn't cost $5 for a paint job.
*_Gentlemen. We gather for our lord and savior, Scrombles. We will witness him scrombulate the Taurian monsters with his SRM's and show true meaning of those who are naughty in Christmas!_*
Discount Dan's medic services.....
I am on board for an Amaris Civil war campaign. This game needs a mission mod for it.
"Better than crack as far as oral fixations are concerned."
That could be taken so many ways...
Hey Tex.
You mentioned Neuro-Helmet problems. I also think they would be a 'common' thing in older Mech Warriors that survive multiple instances of massive damage or destruction of their Mechs.
I imagine that those that survive to be 'retired' and re-trained into jobs that will not have flashy lights, loud noises, and away from the sounds of explosives going off.
Mostly likely jobs like, Historian, Librarian, Store Clerk, Night Guard Duty (Civilian Rent-A-Cop type), etc.
Just my thoughts.
Yay! Tex is using cover!
No! Tex is facing backwards so he wont get cover!
Scrombles the Mechwarrior is a real rollercoaster of tactical acumen 😜
SCROMBLES CONFUS
@@theblackpantslegion SCROMBLES HIDE BEHIND TREE
Hey Tex.
Lov'in the Scrombles play through. To me, it seems, thou dost protest thy 'lack' of skills overmuch. I agree that you're no Baradul, but you played those Missions fairly well in my honest opinion. Although, I would have nabbed that Thunderbolt part from the 2nd mission. I like T-bolts. They are, indeed, tough Mechs. And they CAN sport Jump Jets as well. I've seen other players brows break out in sweat when my T-bolt jumped over a ridge it could not climb in one turn, land, and unload a Large Laser and trio of Mediums into their prized Mech's thin rear armor.
Or, I might mention the time my T-bolt entered a town, jumped up onto a 3 story building, brought the pain... not to the target Mech, but to the 7 story building it was atop of... Whups! Mech fall down... HARD. :)
If you do get your grubby mitts on a Thunderbolt, might I suggest a loadout? ER Large Laser, Three Pulse Mediums, NO Jump Jets, and an LRM-20? If you can't lay hands on the higher tech, then a Large Laser, 3 Mediums, and the LRM-20, and Jump Jets.
Other than the Four LRM-15 Stalker, the Four PPC Awesome, and the FIVE Large Laser Marauder, the Thunderbolt has to be one of my favorite designs... simply because of it's durability. Back in the early '90's I used one to excellent effect against most of the other Heavies, and quite a few of the Assaults. I experimented quite a bit with various loadouts, and even though HBS has 'hard points', there are several very nice weapons mixes you can do with a T-bolt.
You already have two Marauders. Might I suggest converting at least ONE to a Five Large Laser set up? With a pilot that has a high Gunnery, and a fair, to high, Tactics skill, those five big lasers can usually 'core' a Mech in one round. Two, if it's an Assault Mech. And that's NOT considering any 'help' from lance mates.
I might suggest, with all respect, that you go back and re-do the Stalker you just 'upgraded'. I would take the 'hit' on armoring to put in 2 LRM-20's and 2 LRM-10's and 5 tons of ammo. Six, if you're thinking of needing that many 'broadsides' from it. OR, go with Four LRM-15's, spread out, plenty of Heat Sinks, and perhaps a pair of enhanced Medium Lasers as secondary armaments.
Seriously... Try out the 5 Large Laser Marauders. A pair of them should be able to 'take down' any Mech you point at in one 'round' of combat, with the proviso that you have Good Pilots (which you do). I have done this in my own play through, with pilots that have Gunnery 8+, and Tactics 8+ (8+ = skill level 8, or higher). The pair of them were taking down Heavies and the lighter armored Assault Mechs in ONE 'round' of combat on a fairly consistent basis (especially if you use the morale 'skill' to enhance targeting by 'aimed fire' at the Target's vulnerable points... like side torsos, where ammo is usually stored).
Oh, yes... the Four PPC Awesome??? You CAN mount 4 PPCs on an Awesome, AND enough Heat Sinks to keep it almost heat neutral. AND, still armor it nearly to maximum.
Back to the Thunderbolt... Way back, in the late 80's, it was the one of the first Heavy Mechs I got my hands on playing the original FASA tabletop game that was NOT a Shadow Hawk, Griffon, or Wolverine. Unless I bought a Mech from somewhere, it was my policy to only use what I could buy, or salvage from the battlefield. And I got a T-bolt by coring it's cockpit from behind with a Panther. No one expected me to put a Pilot with Gunnery 1 into something as 'light' as a Panther, and it was mostly ignored on the battle to concentrate on my heavies. By Heavies, I mean a pair of 'upgraded' Shadow Hawks, and an 'upgraded' Griffon. Just before the decapitation shot, the Griffon had gotten in a cockpit hit with it's LRM launcher, which, stripped off most of the armor there, making the PPC hit by the Panther 'lethal'.
By stripping away the tertiary weapons (MG's, SRM's, etc) I was able to make the Mech Jump, which caused all sorts of consternation amongst my opponents. Especially when it would slog onto the field to close distance and run right at some intervening terrain feature. Only to 'ignore' the terrain and either leap over it, or jump atop it. You can see why that would 'upset' some people. 'Hey! Thunderbolt's don't jump!'... 'Wellllll, this one does!' *grin*... yeah, good times.
LRM-60 Stalkers, and Quint Lrg Las Marauders would 'up your game' a bit, in my honest opinion. Try it!
spoken, Frank-ly
Merry Christmas you mad bastard
first of all i want to say: thx Tex, i realy enjoy ur Scrombles BT series, its hillariously funny most of the time. and then i have a few tips that might profe realy usefull: best way to keep ur mechs "safe" (as far as that word can be used on BattleMechs >_
Merry Christmas to Tex and all the wacky folks at Black Pants Legion.
SCROMBLES AND THE STORY OF THE VIRGIN AC
MAOR SCROMBLES. PUNCH SKORPIN
Merry Christmas Tex.
I don't think I've ever seen Tex use sensor lock...
Imagine if you encountered a full Lance of Nightstars
1:01:12 ♫ I get knocked down, but I get up again...
Just catching up on these, so sorry this comment is a little late. However, to "Battletech 2: The Amaris Civil War" I have to say this - dear god, yes please. I beg you, someone, make this a thing.
All crazy rushed prototypes and tyrant inspired RnD mechs could mess around with, would be good, brutal fighting tho with tech level vs 3015-30ish period and need like four lances imho sized fights for it be accurate which could be nightmare and close to TT play times xD id still play that tho
I remember Double Dare. Also remember You Can't Do That On Television, Danger Mouse, Mister Wizard's World, Mysterious City of Gold, Pinwheel, and that weird French cartoon Spartacus and the Sun Beneath the Sea. Some people feel old, I feel experienced.
Astro boy in black and white :P
@@Stoffstoffer I was thinking Nickelodeon back in the 80s.
Also, the ever less know sketch comedy show...…..Turkey T.V.
Have you found any Cockpit Mods? They are really helpful: Scrombles should just ignore this. But all your other pilots will benefit from them.
6:20 _How did the AC shells just explode into thin air?!_
Set the time on target shell to quick.
Could also call this Battletech, the Tale of Scrombles.
Episode 15: *The Death of Scrombles.*
Hmmm.. I always think AC20 is not as good as an UAC10, especially given the range. But it sure goes boom
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
I never bought an AC5 that I regretted
Marauder always good with melee it's in the lore too
God I love this serise. Well. Time for more meat.
Merry christmas eve all 🥰🥰
If the Virtual World/Tesla pods happen to open up to the public again, is there a chance for a BPL field trip?
