(Next mission info)

* IronBeer reviews the info.

Sounds like fun- I love a good brawl! Nothing quite like bullying a bunch of smaller mechs, and being in a city gives us plenty of things to duck behind. I'm ready to laser some fools- how about the rest of the Demons? Eh? EH!?

[AdmiralRalwood]

Sniper: Ralwood for hitting 12s constantly with the PPC and/or Med Lasers

Ralwood: Phoenix Hawk(Core-kick from behind, a lot of internal damage done to it, Round 9)

Wait... I snipe everything and then my only kill is in melee range?

[NGTM-1R]

Suddenly, I'm not upset with my SRM system being a waste of weight. What is this madness.

[niffiwan]

very cool, looks like I managed to take IronBeers "shoot straight" comment to heart

And for the next mission - lots of targets == lots of XP 

(plus the bot tends to do a lot of stupid stuff in cities... running on pavement when there's no need, crashing through buildings when there's no need, crossing bridges than can't support their weight, or deploying in places where they can't/don't move out of - i.e. they *don't* crash through a building when it would be a good idea...)

I seem to remember Scotty's initial urban battle being one long comedy of errors.

[Scotty]

It really was.  Almost sad, in fact.

[AdmiralRalwood]

Wasn't that the mission with the Crab pilot that killed themself just trying to stand up?

[SpardaSon21]

No matter what someone tells you, that Crab is not cursed.

[Hobbie]

Oh god, I remember that Crab.

But yes, I am quite proud to be the Missile Murderer of the company. May many enemies fall to the Macross-level of incoming ordinance.

I'm also very glad that I'm still alive! Chalk one up to the hot redhead who isn't secretly a skinny dude with a wig!

[SpardaSon21]

Hey, if everything goes as planned, my Dervish will have plenty of missile murder, too.  Heh, maybe Patriot can even get a "Black Skulls" fire support lance of Crusaders and Phoenix Hawks going.

[Patriot]

Just a mid-Round 4 update. MegaMek keeps derping out, so i have to keep reloading autosaves for for almost every phase.

Getting close to knocking the crap out of some enemies though, mostly Phoenix Hawks which rushed our ass immediately.
Now a Quickdraw on their team is joining the fun, not that i care, they're trying to swarm the Banshee, which is the tank.

Our Drac allies are making good progress in beating the ever loving pulp out of some vulcans, and a grasshopper.
Also, another Phoenix Hawk on their side of the map.

The map is a Town type from the Generated Map Settings menu, where urban terrain is divided into Town, Hub, Metro and Grid.
Considering the planet we're on, i thought Town might be good. And it is, the center of the map is urban, while the outlying parts are normal land.

Though raining, mechs can't really get stuck in mud, and vehicles can.
They have lots of tracked vehicles, one of which died before i even pointed a gun at it xD


No kills just yet, but soon!

Also, Ironbeer knows how to throw a left hook

Told ya, I love a good brawl!

I'm wondering how these vehicles even manage to GET to the battle without killing themselves. Same for that Crab... How do you graduate mech school if you can't manage to stay standing on flat ground??

[niffiwan]

Hmm... ship the vehicles & mechs in on flatbed railcars?  Crews are in other carriages?  (works for IRL tanks iirc)

Oh right, pirates... substitute dropship for the flatbed railcars then

Pull a Demoman and drink a bottle o' scrumpy right before battle?

[deathfun]

I don't think he has what it takes to be a Demoman

[Patriot]

Actually, the town has two roads leading to it, so i guess they could've just driven there on the road. Funnily enough a road doesn't have a mud background.

Double post, because WINNING

After 23 rounds, a metric ****ton of crashes and save reloads(THANK GOD FOR PARANOID AUTOSAVE), Dragon did us the favor of offing the last Civvy, having met the 50% combat units killed requirement a lot earlier than that..

In any case, dat aftermath report

Sniper: me, for headshotting a Shadow Hawk into submission
Tactical Missile Placement Award: Dragon, for headshotting a Phoenix Hawk into black out
Consistency Award: Sparda, for absolutely ripping things to shreds with his right PPC
Giving the Finger: Me, for telling a Phoenix Hawk a big EFF YOU after being TAC'd to the engine(THAT THING IS EXPENSIVE) by blowing his left torso off and stripping armor from various places.
Hot Drop: Dragon, for winning the game with a DFA.

Salvage:

SHD-2H x2 (one unrepairable, sold off)
WVR-6R


Bonus:
HBK-4G


That Wolverine needs A LOT of work done to be operable, Shadow Hawk that didn't get sold immediately, not so much.
No real threats to our mechs, only an Engine crit hit for both myself and Ironbeer, and IronBeer also took a gyro hit. Nothing spectacular, just A LOT of armor damage, teehee.

EDIT:

Almost forgot to say, this means our contract has ended. And it's close to the end of the month, so that's good, no long downtime until the next contract generation

Also, check first post to see these guy's new skill levels and ranks

[niffiwan]

Wow, the bot only committed suicide with a single unit! 

And a WVR-6R you say, convert it to the Marik variant (WVR-6M) that uses a large laser in place of the AC/5 and I'd love that as my new ride 

[NGTM-1R]

This is Dragon, and YOU WILL FEAR HIS LASERFACE.
