Ah, the sweet smell of LRM in the morning.
I'm starting to get the hang of Battletech! Still using medium mechs but I'm starting to win battles I'm out-tonned and out-gunned in. I'm getting better, little by little, thanks again for all the advice earlier. PPC's and AC's are really awesome at getting things to rapidly and irreversibly undergo energy transfers. I also love the lore that the Expanded mod adds! Vehicles are also really not to be trifled with. Some of them seemed to have LRM20 hammering me from a hill, and between the evasion maluses and the sheer damage, those little tin-cans did me in for my first attempt.
So far so good, and the plot is surprisingly compelling.
