It's peak clan mech. You can't spam alphastrikes and you definitely feel the compromise between components. The JJs are great for getting an angle to fire but you're running super hot and limited on ammo due to the JJs taking up crits and tonnage, which limits your ability to fire. It's a very good mech but I feel it is difficult to keep it supplied and cooled in this game.
I came for the Game play and and now hooked on the story scenes. Very cool and the best way to explain the whole mess that was the Clan Invasion. Well done Dev Team. :)
Also I don't like set pieces that ignore obvious solutions, the interior of mech bays are not that well armored and filled with ammo, a few well placed shots through the open doors and up she goes.
Yes it is indeed Haven voicing the Elemental and several other characters you will meet @Baradul. His wife is also voicing characters in game, one in the dropship mission as well.
@@tomorourke6885 actually Galaxy Commander Perez is ordering the war crime, aided by his subordinates aboard his warship … like all of us, Baradul is just watching it from aboard a dropship together with his star ;-P PS: IF you want to do warcrimes, you need to choose the CRUSADER path later in the game.
I know it's not required to read the books to just play the game. But the bombardment of Turtle Bay is what brings the reformed Star League and the Iridani Lighthorse to the SJ home planet of Huntress to wipe out the Jags 10 years later. Important part of the story.
The actions of the Jags in Edo is definitely what made the great houses finally pull their collective heads out of their 4th points of contact and work together. Even of it ended up being just for show and an alliance of convenience.
It's also likely a big reason on why the clans lost. Since afther this they all bid away their warships in every conflict zone. And since the great houses had almost no warships that wasa big shift in power.
@@koenvandiepen7651 Eh the reason they bid away warships is because Wolves were lead by liberals just waiting to backstab rest of the clans. Thats what Crusaders get for forcing Wardens to frontlines instead of just wiping Wolves in trial of anhiliation and then getting other clans to heel by example, you dont win walls without obedience and unity.
@@koenvandiepen7651 What does it mean to bid away in this context? Like they sent them home or something? I know the clans are kinda dumb with their weird rules to get honor like klingons but I don't really know what it means here.
@@Foxador It means they won't use them in battle or to support the ground invasion. And considering they are honour bound to do so and the rest of them would jump on them like a pack of hyianas if they broke their word they did not use them in the invasion afther turtle bay.
Evasion only works if you're not moving directly at enemies. Need to strafe. If star on auto follow, then they will evade as they will follow at straffing angle to. Your pure srm boat needs a couple of back up weapons. Upgrade 2 srm4 to sixes. Drop a 4. Change and arm pod to energy load up on er smalls. Add ammo, ecm, or an ams. Check if TC gives you in mission Zoom on targeting. The novacat with 8 er mediums, TC, probe, and extra cooling is deadly as hell from other videos I've watched. The vulture w/tc 2 pulse lg lasers and 4 er mdms (or all er smalls) should mathematically erase enemies easily. Since srm boat has to close. It'd benefit from er smalls and ecm too. And extra armor.
A couple of things: You should pick a camo pattern for your star. It wold help the viewers pick out your mechs from the other star. Also, kerenskies let you buy multiple versions of the mechs, so more Mad Dogs!
I swear the sound effect for scanning loot is nearly identical to a StarCraft UI sound. Game seems well-balanced difficulty wise for whatever difficulty you're playing on. You're not losing Mechs regularly, but you are sometimes and regularly have mechs getting down to the 40-60% range. That seems pretty perfect to me; not so much a cakewalk that it's not engaging, but not frustratingly difficult or unfair seeming.
You really gotta read the Battletech books! Most are even on Audible now. But I think you’d be even more excited following the story since you would know more about the characters and events that are unfolding. It was really apparent in the Rise of Raselhauge DLC and now with the Clan Invasion… You’ll really enjoy them!!!!! Trust me. :)
What I learned on my second playthrough Bara, is that the main use of Kerenskys, is delaying your Technician Requisitions and upgrades. Buying Mechs to replace the ones your Techs cannot completely repair early. But the vast majority of the playerbase delays their Salvage and Science instead- and to get 25 upgraded Technicians ASAP- so they tend to stockpile an insane number of Kerenskys, but get pigeonholed into upgrading a small number of weapons systems. On my second playthrough, I prioritized Salvage first, and once maxed (H4, Shadow Cat), requisitioned 5 Scientists at a time for the next few levels, so that with 25 Scientists and Technicians; the facility upgrades have the largest immediate impact.
This is really good advice. I’ve been playing alongside Bara, staying slightly ahead by a couple of missions to avoid spoilers. And this is exactly what I did. Worrying about having enough technicians and upgrades to enter missions at 100% While having 20m kerenskies in the bank sat doing nothing while I could have had another star or 2 ready to go 🤷♀️
Also not to forget upscale your mechs tonnage is also a good point. A Nova for example has enough fire power to quickly drop a IS heavy mech. More tonnage and bigger mechs is a good way to go. More armor = less repairs. And the biggest advantage of the clan weaponry is the range of their lasers. If you priorites ER-Laser´s with missles and autocannons as back up or round up you will have less problems with enemys. I mean bara still has his Viper around. I would have changed it to a Shadocat long ago. And have the same Mechs as a spare is also a good idea.
Just from watching this (and not playing), it seemed like the best way to go was to prioritize salvage, then research, and only unlocking a few choice mechs, which you then buy for the whole Star to quickly grind up mech xp and customize. It also looks like you should put off the pilots’ mech specialization a bit to put it on as big a mech as you can get.
You also could use the weight class affinity instead of a special mech. 1.1 for example all heavy mechs is better then Just pick the Hellbringer for 1.2...
Not sure if you are aware of this, but you can send your star mates to the repair bays through the Battlegrid menu by selecting them at the bottom and then right clicking on the repair bay.
this and later missions become a lot easier when you actually give commands to your star, and queue up targets for them. The escape and the turtle bay massacre weren't really surprising to me, it would have been nice if they could have added a twist that wasn't covered in lore before and humanized the clans decision a bit more.
The stupid thing is that these planets are so integrated that a few well placed strikes would render them ineffective, you control the orbitals, take out power and communications, water and fuel.
There's another lore dump that comes that harkens back the MWE4 Mercs. The FRR DLC specifically. I damn near wept when it happened. As I am a lore hound for the lore through the Civil War, it was beautiful.
Well, thats why i use LRM15 for the most part. The 20´s are too hungry for ammunition. I normally drop them for two tons extra ammo each. That makes the build more sustainable in longer fights.
yea, he'll be around more. Maybe not right away, undergoing some serious questioning and maybe a shorter leash, but someone like him you can't keep chained forever.
@@jeremysaklad6703Battletech spacecraft mostly create gravity effects by accelerating at 1g when traveling between planets and jump points. Most jumpships, including warships, have rotating gravity decks for use when stationary while recharging their jump drives. The bridge is not usually on a gravity deck though.
@@kwangsoo515 Unless that window is actually a camera feed, they aren't on a grav deck. Also, because of how thrust gravity works, WarShip decks have the top facing the nose. So if you're on the "top" deck, you'd see where you're going by looking *up*.
I failed couple times in that space port mission on expert difficulty before completed it. Last patch make this mission easier, I think people were complaing about it. :)
I know our boy Bara loves his ballistics, so I hope he researches the UAC-Solid Shot soon. UAC20-SLD is the most hilarious thing I've ever run. I had a jam chance of the gods earlier today with my Dual UAC20 and Warhawk and was able to fire 9 rounds before jams. 🤣🤣🤣 Poof goes the Atlas! And half the mech behind him. And the mountain behind him. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes!!! That would be great. Perhaps in an earlier period in the Clan homeworlds, when they are fighting amongst themselves. Did they not fight each other in tests for the right to be part of the Invasion force?
@@hundebubi1410 Yes there was a series of trials for the invasion. Generally the clans had quite a few conflicts which were also solved by trials, so there´s quite some potential. But no one ever touched the clan territory in games.
@@hundebubi1410 Or screw it, set a game in the Pentagon Civil War. Unfortunately, HBS doesn't have the license anymore, so that's not coming anytime soon.
I would have unlocked the Adder and Nova. The Adder's two PPCs makes it a great sniper and the Nova can be downgraded to 12 small ER lasers and still be powerful (the standard loadout overheats like no tomorrow).
Well, of course Perez is mad. They had the youngest heir to the throne in their grast and he escaped. Holy Smokes..? Yeah... Holy Smokes Jaguar.... I kinda had the hunch that Turtle Bay was *the* Turtle Bay. With the city of Edo being named and given a major role, I got what the story was going for. But seeing it displayed this way.... Wow.... And of course saKhan is miffed by that as heck. Rightfully so. Them Fog Kittens were always the hot-headed fellers, so that merciless ruthlessness turns both ways, toward outsiders as well as to the inside.
The Clans in lore decimated the Rasalhague and tore the Draconis Combine up as they took Terra and terrorized it. Only the Davions could stand against them and tricked them into fighting stupidly. Davion went after the Jaguars and obliterated them so much they never recovered. It was a gamble on the Davions part that went their way. Concentrate on the goal and let your star take care of the other Mechs until it is done.
This mission took me so many tries I eventually whent with a all er light laser nova with up armor and every heat sink i could fit and the the build melts assaults.
Only issue with the drop ship fights was AI derping out n getting half their mech blown off standing just under it enough to not actually shoot anything. Moving em with defend position for that is a lot better
@@ServantOfOdin I like Clan Wolf and to a lesser extent Jade Falcon and I have since I first got into BattleTech back in the late 1980s. Despite their name and clan logo, Clan Wolf leadership tends to be the most level-headed and reasonable overall. Unfortunately there's already a MechWarrior game about Clan Wolf all the way back with MechWarrior 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if the devs are going to want to cover Clans that haven't had a game made about them first. I'd love to see Clan Wolf and even Jade Falcon made into their own DLC for MW5: Clans though.
Great missions. Great piloting skills Baradul. Can you walk us through the equipment you use to play the game? Do you use a joystick? A walkthrough of your gaming gear would be greatly appreciated.
"A blatant violation of our ways" - pfffffffff, those are Smoke Jaguars, for them it's their typical modus operandi, they did that shit even before the invasion.
No, they really didn't. Believe it or not, the Clans through Operation REVIVAL are diametrically opposed to collateral and/or unnecessary damage, including threatening non-warriors (though they still tend to view human life as a commodity). This policy was informed through the horrors of the Amaris and Pentagon Civil Wars. It's why they insist on Trials and bidding. In fact, the IO:AE book has them less likely to use WMDs than any other faction, whereas the First SLDF was the most likely. They're not always consistent about it, most obviously with the Trial of Annihilation against Clan Wolverine, and the contradictions inherent in Clan society start to boil over in the wake of Tukayyid. As the timeline progresses, the Clans splinter as they each make different reforms: Clan Nova Cat defects to the Second Star League, Clan Steel Viper starts a series of purges to eradicate spheroid "taint", Clan Jade Falcon adopts a scorched-earth policy of total war…
Note, if you have melee in any on the 6 wpn groups, the AI will move forward to try and punch or kick. Solution is to not have any arms linked to an active weapon group. If in follow mode, the star will goto leader's range. Need to quickly use deployment map to set the to flank and then give free fire orders until you need focus fire to finish a bigboy real fast. This is a persistent AI problem in all the MW games. As evasion wotks only when you're not running directly at an enemy, AI will try to move your star as you move. Change formation. Inverted "V" isn't best for evasion or fire, as one side blocks the other. Dunno the formations avaible. Be nice if Baradul checked at least. But we know his answer. "I can't be bothered." He'd rather just fight. Baradul also fails to use SIMPODS. You can fight old battles. And best of all earn XP for your pilots and mech frames. Allowing you to unlock everything for each chassis. Thus maxing out pilots and mech frames faster. All that's left is research. And repair speed.
Once I pumped up the armor of my mad dogs up to 600+, the hard missions ain't so hard. From security protocols through heir of the dragon. I walked through all these missions except the last. Only had to try twice before I beat that one too. I love the mad dog.
On nova I tested out that a slug cannon x10 can 2 shot the head of an atlas. In simpod. Excited for heavier mechs lol , the dmg from a 10 doing more dmg then a 20 is a little wierd though …..
Just because all techs are asssigned to mechs, doesn't mean they are doing something. I always had to go mech by mech and lower the assigned techs to see if it would go below 100%. Often I could find 2 or 3 and reassign them to a damaged mech.

Imagine a Smoke Jaguar complaining about the smoke from the AC....
I think you may be undervaluing Ballistic Velocity on Mia. :)
Well, of course Perez is mad. They had the youngest heir to the throne in their grast and he escaped.
Holy Smokes..? Yeah... Holy Smokes Jaguar....
I kinda had the hunch that Turtle Bay was *the* Turtle Bay. With the city of Edo being named and given a major role, I got what the story was going for. But seeing it displayed this way.... Wow....
And of course saKhan is miffed by that as heck. Rightfully so. Them Fog Kittens were always the hot-headed fellers, so that merciless ruthlessness turns both ways, toward outsiders as well as to the inside.
The blinding smoke needs actual wind direction.. sometimes block.. other times not
1:11:18 is a callback to the mw3 intro.
The Clans in lore decimated the Rasalhague and tore the Draconis Combine up as they took Terra and terrorized it. Only the Davions could stand against them and tricked them into fighting stupidly. Davion went after the Jaguars and obliterated them so much they never recovered. It was a gamble on the Davions part that went their way. Concentrate on the goal and let your star take care of the other Mechs until it is done.
"Santa is down"
-Baradul, 2024
This mission took me so many tries I eventually whent with a all er light laser nova with up armor and every heat sink i could fit and the the build melts assaults.
not gona spoil it but at the end it really gets insane.
You can take more of each part by reducing others at the claim screen
Favourite part of this video?
"My right!? That's my left!"
That mission where you attack that Union Class is so cool. The cutscene afterward eh... not so much. 😄 Talk about going from 0 to 100 real quick. 😐
Only issue with the drop ship fights was AI derping out n getting half their mech blown off standing just under it enough to not actually shoot anything. Moving em with defend position for that is a lot better
Clan Fog Kitty for you.... That's their basic MO. Hotheaded, ruthless, merciless. No matter if against outsiders, fellow clans or clan-members.
@@ServantOfOdin I like Clan Wolf and to a lesser extent Jade Falcon and I have since I first got into BattleTech back in the late 1980s. Despite their name and clan logo, Clan Wolf leadership tends to be the most level-headed and reasonable overall. Unfortunately there's already a MechWarrior game about Clan Wolf all the way back with MechWarrior 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if the devs are going to want to cover Clans that haven't had a game made about them first. I'd love to see Clan Wolf and even Jade Falcon made into their own DLC for MW5: Clans though.
I almost exclusively use er smalls for everything. They are just so op
Could see you were shocked when the nukes went down had the same feeling 😢 story wise the game does not disappoint.
Great missions. Great piloting skills Baradul.
Can you walk us through the equipment you use to play the game? Do you use a joystick? A walkthrough of your gaming gear would be greatly appreciated.
It would be kinda cool if the water would steam when there is a hot mech in it.
MDD-B is my favorite
Are... are we the baddies?
By the way, if U find ammo crate so it will replenish ammo for the whole star, not only for the mech who is picking it.
"A blatant violation of our ways" - pfffffffff, those are Smoke Jaguars, for them it's their typical modus operandi, they did that shit even before the invasion.
No, they really didn't. Believe it or not, the Clans through Operation REVIVAL are diametrically opposed to collateral and/or unnecessary damage, including threatening non-warriors (though they still tend to view human life as a commodity). This policy was informed through the horrors of the Amaris and Pentagon Civil Wars. It's why they insist on Trials and bidding. In fact, the IO:AE book has them less likely to use WMDs than any other faction, whereas the First SLDF was the most likely.
They're not always consistent about it, most obviously with the Trial of Annihilation against Clan Wolverine, and the contradictions inherent in Clan society start to boil over in the wake of Tukayyid. As the timeline progresses, the Clans splinter as they each make different reforms: Clan Nova Cat defects to the Second Star League, Clan Steel Viper starts a series of purges to eradicate spheroid "taint", Clan Jade Falcon adopts a scorched-earth policy of total war…
@@jeremysaklad6703 Bro, I meant Smoke Jaguar, not Clans as a whole.
Note, if you have melee in any on the 6 wpn groups, the AI will move forward to try and punch or kick.
Solution is to not have any arms linked to an active weapon group.
If in follow mode, the star will goto leader's range.
Need to quickly use deployment map to set the to flank and then give free fire orders until you need focus fire to finish a bigboy real fast.
This is a persistent AI problem in all the MW games.
As evasion wotks only when you're not running directly at an enemy, AI will try to move your star as you move.
Change formation.
Inverted "V" isn't best for evasion or fire, as one side blocks the other.
Dunno the formations avaible. Be nice if Baradul checked at least.
But we know his answer.
"I can't be bothered."
He'd rather just fight.
Baradul also fails to use SIMPODS.
You can fight old battles. And best of all earn XP for your pilots and mech frames.
Allowing you to unlock everything for each chassis.
Thus maxing out pilots and mech frames faster.
All that's left is research. And repair speed.
Once I pumped up the armor of my mad dogs up to 600+, the hard missions ain't so hard. From security protocols through heir of the dragon. I walked through all these missions except the last. Only had to try twice before I beat that one too. I love the mad dog.
On nova I tested out that a slug cannon x10 can 2 shot the head of an atlas. In simpod. Excited for heavier mechs lol , the dmg from a 10 doing more dmg then a 20 is a little wierd though …..
44:43 Hey yo, is that Tex voicing that Elemental? I think it is.
@@olivershawen3503 no it's not growly enough. Tex has more "I am eruditely gargling gravel as I speak."
@@Great_Cthulhu yeah maybe. Tex do be erudite and gravely. Sounds close though. Gonna see if I can go check the credits to see who that is.
1:18:34
Alright, fellas... hear me out now...
heating up.....
Stormcrow was excellent at the time. Used it way beyond it's weight average. It could be made stronger than the Mad dog. It has really good Armor.
1000 years into the future they seems to have lost smokeless powder technology
Just because all techs are asssigned to mechs, doesn't mean they are doing something. I always had to go mech by mech and lower the assigned techs to see if it would go below 100%. Often I could find 2 or 3 and reassign them to a damaged mech.
ok glad it's clear where we are in the timeframe, this is fun to see played out... pun(ish) intended?
Did I just get a Star Citizen ad before your video?
Greetings i hear you applied for Prime target in Operation Bulldog. Applying Future name Tag, Smoked Jaguars.
Thank you for using Operation Snake
They raze the city from Orbit I believe.
It feels like LRMs are overshooting all the time.
I'd like to see a custom paint job for your star. See what's available in the game.
