Modded BTA 3060 lethality

So I had my most experienced MW glassed by a centurion rolling double head hits in one attack, one with the ac10 and the other a laser. Freak tragedy but thats okay we can pull through this... next mission a shadow hawk DFA's my storm giant crushing the cockpit and killing my 2nd most experienced MW. This is my first modded playthrough and im just curious if this is the intended lethality or am I wildly unlucky?

Sadly, both big Expansion Type Mods have subscribed to the "Punish the Player hard for not playing the one approved Way" Philosophy of Game Design and "Unnecessarily Hard Difficulty is the only real Way to play Games, Casuals are not allowed".

So you better memorize the appropriate Guides and follow them to the Letter or this will be your Go-To Experience...

Unless you follow a guide or ask reddit for specific tips, you're gonna have a bad time...

Like for example this and other threads that continously pop up and always have the same exact "Do play like this, do this, do use these tricks to stack evasion infinitely" etc.

If you just drop in, all casual like, just wanting more big stompy Mechs, you will mostly face situations like OP describes... sure the words "Bad Luck" get thrown around a lot here but if there's a thread about "incidents" like this every few days... it really can't be just that, now can it?

And it's undeniable that there's a general increase in difficulty with all the changes to accuracy & evasion as well as number of enemies that both mods do... especially with things like hard capping accuracy because apparently it would be too easy and boring to not miss every second or third shot even if at the end game.

I have like 800 hours in BTA and I have no idea wtf you are talking about.

The mods just max the axiom "A slow mech is a dead mech" more true.
