Thus, you shouldn't be pro- or anti- melee (I’m looking at you, streamers) you should use it as appropriate.ģ. Particularly its ability to negate bulwark and ignore evasion.Ģ. It doesn’t matter how many weapons you fire to do so, you only remove 1 evasion.ġ. You can fire at a mech to remove an evasion pip.In other words, think through these factors - don’t just move your mech when it’s your turn in some random order. Potentially firing on your mech which is already in a tactically optimum spot to be shot at (unless he’s going to melee you).ĥ. If your mech is already bulwark-ed and has evasion pips, maybe you should reserve down and make them move first. That if you plan to shoot at a bulwark-ed enemy, and you also plan to melee them, use the melee attack first.Ĥ. Use every positional advantage to force the enemy into bad positions and/or bad trades.ģ. (Can you get there? Can you force the enemy to go there? What direction do you want to approach from, what cover is available to you, what cover is available to the enemy?)Ģ. Think of where you want to fight the enemy. When you drop, study the terrain, figure out the optimum location to position your mechs for maximum effect. Plan out your entire lance at least one move ahead.Don't over cool your mechs, having a heat neutral mech (like the default Shadowhawk) is an under gunned (or under armoured) mech.Front line fighters need more armour, while ranged fighters can survive with less. Have a plan on how you want to position your mechs so that all of them attack at their most effective ranges.Know which weapons have minimum ranges, and what they are. Know your weapons, their effective ranges, what skills complement them.When outfitting your mechs, use the parts from the dismount window first as this will reduce the time for your mech in the bay.For example, have two close range mechs, one longer range support mech, and one faster flanking mech. Figure out your loadouts and skills so that mechs complement each other and can work together.Credits are due to their fan-bases, a huge thanks to Gavicola for his input (which is now the majority of this OP)! along with Joanna to! So after watching Odd and SideStrafe play BattleTech, thought I'd try and collate tips that have been posted on their videos.
