Favorite Target Thread...Down to the hitbox

[~SJ~ Blhurr]

Let's go down to the hitbox with this one.  I'll go with my fav top three.

1) Hgauss on the Holly
2) Either arm of a Thanny
3) Cockpit of Atlas

Fairly predictable from me I suppose... oh can't forget the one that really makes me feel good.

4) Any long tom.  Haha.

I'm sure others have good ones.

[DFDelta]

1. Arms of Novacats
2. Big gun of any Holly
3. Cockpits of MadCats

 

[Redvan]

cockpits on all

and anywhere that makes a mech go tumbling through the air 

[~SJ~MausGMR]

Anything grey, crit damage 4tw
Rear armour =D
LRM racks, just when I want to see missles flying everywhere.

[CHHs Cyan]

any light mechs face with HG
rear center torso mad cat or madcat mk2
nova and shadow cats arms
hollanders HG
rear armor of harasser

[ratbuddy]

Legs. Specifically the hip joint where it moves less.

[(TLL)CapperDeluxe]

Center torso

I core all my mechs to get to the tootsie roll filling



Except the Hollandar II, I always take its gun out first

[Askis]

1. Rear armor
2. Arms or other places with heavy/multiple weapons in it
3. CT
[4. Cockpit if it's easy to hit ]

[^sPikE-]

1. REAR ARMOR!!!! esp. when in BA or Hgauss Holly this is a treat.
2. Legs (first to go if allready damaged)
3. Weapon arms

when using light mechs i try to hit the wounded enemys, or deal damage here and there to heavier ones, only to quickly escape.
when using heavy gauss i pick off lights or wounded mediums/heavys for some one shot kill action.
when using longtom obviously groups of targets or assaults.
when in assault i usually pick off the ones that have full health, so my mates can chew them up easier.
when in tank/harasser with ACs or Mguns, flying and BA are primary tagerts.

The AC20 on the Osiris. Its almost funnier not to kill them afterwards.

This is so fapping evil hahaha

• Primary Weapons (i.e. HGauss on Hollander A/Thanny A, arms on Novacat, CGauss on Uller A, etc.)
• Cockpit/CT
• Back Armor if vulnerable

I try not to leg, as it's not enjoyable towards the other player and does nothing to make you a better player.  Hitting the arms/cockpit on maneuverable mechs engaged in brawls is much more difficult, and does wonders in improving your aim.

I go for primary weapons first as it extends both your survivability and that of your teammates by lowering the damage output of your enemies; on Mechs that have no well-defined, single, primary weapon (Awesomes come to mind), I just go straight for CT/Cockpit/Back Armor.

I agree with snow ball on all but legging. I rarely ever leg but there are moments when I do.
Particularly when fighting a UAC20 scat in a bushy, I need to slow him down to keep him from circle of deathing me. Also when I'm deep behind enemy lines in a Puma C and have no other way to cripple a heavy mech quickly before I make my escape. Early game taking a Raven A is hilarious if everyone takes Uller A's and Osiris C's. You're hard to hit, well armored, and have precise firepower to take out their main weapons.

[Snowball]

Oh don't get me wrong, I leg when I absolutely have to, I just try to avoid it when the situation is anything less then extreme.

Example:
In a Novacat Prime in enemy territory, just finished dueling with a Madcat B and an Osiris A, start pulling back in all orange/red armor and an Awesome B comes plodding over a nearby hill.  I'm gonna leg the hell out of that Awesome for several reasons:

• Don't wanna die
• Don't wanna eject (A competent pilot in any Awesome can deal with BA at range)
• Don't wanna walk back to base
• If I target any other armor component, he'll probably kill me
