MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries by Piranha Games - now on Steam and GOG

[Spark Mandriller]

Your claim isn't a second trial of position. Your claim is that there is caste mobility. My retort is not into the warrior caste. You again trying to shift goalposts in order to "win" an argument and getting aggro when your lies are exposed. You didn't know shit back when hBSTech came out. You still don't know shit now. Grow up and read books for a change.

It obviously is possible to test into the warrior caste, or else freeborn warriors would have gone extinct a long time ago.
I guess you're just arguing with me because you don't like me based on our past discussions, so I won't continue from here.

And they are for most Clans. You are a moron who insist you know things when you don't. Like your claim about the Vipers.

It was the Vipers who challenged the Falcons for having freeborn warriors you ignorant imbecile.

I played MechWarrior 4 and Mechassault back in the day and only picked up MegaMek last year

But I think MegaMek is making me into a TRO 3025 snob - I kinda like that most attacks are hitting on 7s and 8s in your best range and my few attempts at playing vs clans have been more frustrating than fun. Super accuracy is the main thing : getting -1 from gunnery and -2 from pulse and occasionally an extra -2 from the extra range. Even if a IS mech like a battlemaster hit (8) seven ups in a single turn for the same damage as his four ups it would set itself on fire compared to the clanner bypassing the heat phase and doing it all again next turn.

I dislike high gunnery skill even in IS VS IS and since Clan also bypass multiple parts of the game (,heat phase, worrying about ammo crits) I don't really feel like giving them more tests games to change my mind.

I've never done any of the Jihad/ilclan IS stuff either but from reading about it It seems like it just turns IS into the clans using targeting computers and C3 to replicate the accuracy bonuses.

Intro tech does have 1 kind of attack that can hit on 4s without feeling like cheating anyway : melee.

The best way to get salvage in CBT is to kick the bejeesus out of the enemy. That means fast movers. Jumpers, if at all possible.
