A few Observations/Requests

Yeah as a demo driver i can tell you shooting me anywhere else but my turret containing weapons that will kill you in 10 seconds will make you die in 10 seconds.

I accept your challenge

You tell'em bash bro

* I still run like a little girl from Demolishers if they're not distracted by 5 other 'mechs.

Protip: never ever NEVER NEVER EVER NEVER shoot  tanks in the turret

This is my primary method of killing tanks...but you're the pro so what do I know.

Ever since I started shooting them in the front/treads/rear they die a LOT faster. I would always shoot their turret and would wonder why the hell they never died as my reactor went critical. Now I chuckle when I see them.*

Yeah, I've had to stay away from the demo, probably one of my favourite assets ever, since this last patch as it feels like someone replaced all my side armour with papermache and a piece of glass.

Harasser D is the hard counter to demos, at least until the nerf comes in 0.5.5.

[Arghy]

Or until the demo puts himself in a corner and the harasser D flips itself over.

First he agreed with you (because he said not shooting turret = death and you seem to love shooting the turret for some reason) second he somehow stated that shooting the turret will somehow save your life, and considering the only bad thing about losing your turret currently is "oh noes 5% turn speed decrease!" and not "loss of all weapons and massive damage modifier to rest of body" like it used to be, I see no reason why firing at the turret would be a life saving tactic anyway.
Unless you are now agreeing with me and saying you could kill him from the front in those 10 seconds, in which case why did you disagree with me earlier?

Of course this is all a waste of time considering you're just going to make another sarcastic and clearly hostile comment that has little to do with anything while insulting my skill or something at the same time like you always do because that gets you off or something. Not like I care anymore

Whoa whoa whoa when the hell did it change that turret destroyed doesnt = weapons destroyed?! might explain why that LT managed to get off more shots i thought it just had a little armor left.

That was way back in like, 0.5.2, in October; when the Hull system was introduced. I'm pretty sure.

[Arghy]

Hahaha i've seen so many people abandoning vehicles with destroyed turrets in a way it is effective until more people realize its changed. Guess i'm going to have to start destroying side/rear armor then!

[Cloak and Dagger]

Why not just a a "gun" hitbox for tanks? Take out the "gun" armor, like a cockpit, and the weapons will all be destroyed.

I kinda like the current Bushwacker B.

Sure, the SPL's are bloody pointless in that mech, but the ammunition has never been a real issue to me. Actually I'd be glad to get rid of SPL's if it meant having a bit extra armour, or ammo, or something useful.

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

the SPL might not seem like they're useful but the Bushy B is a knife fighter and with the tweak to the pulses it's still helping your over all DPS.  IF it had to change it, I'd want SXPLs

[Defender]

...it's still helping your over all DPS.

Phat Deeps, Yo.

[Squibby]

Never understood how you can put DPS into context in this game. Last time I checked mechs don't just stand still face to face and shoot all their weapons at each other like some tardified MMORPG.

The SPLs give you a small amount of secondary damage which can sometimes come in handy for stripping last bit of armour off a section or shooting at BA. It's free damage, but I agree I would love to drop one for a ton of LBX-20 ammo. I like being able to twist away so have never really been a fan of XPLs, despite some people swearing by them. I have decent enough fps to use them but I think latency also screws with the effectiveness of these.
