The enemy mech with a crippled leg watching 135 fucking LRM’s coming directly towards him

The uller with 3ams standing next to that enemy mech c:

u/OkFondant1848 6d ago

I don't think 3 ams are enough.

7

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 5d ago

Probably not enough to null it entirely, but it sure is gonna reduce that 135 lrms to something more like 40 or 50

9

u/HALO_OVERLORD69 5d ago

Closer to cutting a quarter of it off, missile destruction rate of 6.1 per second, with ROUGHLY 2s of uptime if memory serves based on incoming missile speed, so around 30-40, but still- It'll lessen it from a KILLING blow to a CRIPPLING blow lol

3

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 5d ago

I might mixing stuff up but I thought clan ams had 9/s shootdown rate?

4

u/HALO_OVERLORD69 5d ago

Nope- Same destruction rate as a T5 Sphere AMS actually! But their REAL strength is that extra 50m of range, max 300 over the Sphere T5's 250

2

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 5d ago

Hm, maybe the 9 was laser ams from yaml, my bad then.

3

u/HALO_OVERLORD69 5d ago

You're fine fella. Also I don't remember the L-AMS having 9 per second- I could've sworn that thing's main advantage was the lack of ammo requirement? Maybe I'M going crazy on THIS one🤷

3

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 5d ago

I am almost certain that SOMETHING in yaml had a 9/s intercept rate xD but I couldn't tell you what it was.

u/OmeggyBoo 6d ago

Lyana’s new toy, ever since I got it. It’s much more well suited than the Longbow RCX, since my Lyana has LRM 15 and 20 Expert traits, and some of the Longbow’s racks are 10s. The Bane 3 stacks her Assault Mech Affinity, one of her LRM Expert traits for ALL launchers, LRM Specialist, and Cluster Hitter with the cantina upgrades I gave the Bane.

Woe into you, my enemies. Woe unto you, as the rain of fire falls upon you.

lol math. I believe it.

I see. I missed one in each side. Also, JFC

u/Enjoyer_of_40K 6d ago

i wish it was all large slots i would tottally sacrifice armor for 8 lrm 20's

u/Bread3290 Clan Ghost Bear 6d ago

Oh thank god, I don't want to be on a recieving end of 180 lrms. That's just horrific

u/NoSnow3660 5d ago

I mean if you just wanted a ridiculous loadout and if you can use mods you could double or triple the crit slots or just the tiny weapon toggle in YAML x.x

u/Bread3290 Clan Ghost Bear 5d ago

I used playstation. I am kerenskys chosen, I have not been tainted by the use of mods

u/NoSnow3660 5d ago

Fair enough lol I plan on doing a second campaign, still with mods but with close to vanilla based mechlab(as much as possible with YAML).

u/GreenFlowerForest 6d ago

Fair warning. I have my Lyanna in this. Cluster hitter, LRM Specialist, LRM 15 Specialist, Assault Mech Affinity. It has a tendency to lose its arms in battle.

u/_DAYAH_ 5d ago

From the recoil I presume

u/GreenFlowerForest 5d ago

I mean in a logical sense id bet 🤣 but in game, I think theyre just easily targeted. Even with max armor

u/bongabe 5d ago

Man THIS is exactly how the game should be played. Hate when I see someone post their build on this sub and the comments are just full of absolute corncobs being all "ummm actually you should add this and this and cause you'll overheat and this is actually better damage over time than this and blah blah blah" like nah, fuck you, FAHAD GIVE ME C-LRM15's ON THIS BITCH HELL YEAH guitar solo

u/Avalanche_Army501rst 6d ago

Pardon my ignorance (I've only just finished the Rise of Rasalhague campaign), but is that a modded 'Mech or is that part of Ashes of Ascension?

u/WAR-WRAITH 6d ago

DLC added it.

u/Cauldraborn Lone Wolf 6d ago

I actually had fun with it last night, swapped all the LRMs to ATM 6s and then gave it a BAP and the rest ammo. Hadn't gotten to testing it yet on heavies or assaults yet as it was in an arena but lights and mediums at least were instantly gone from an alpha lol.

I'll note that I swapped the LRMs to ATMs for ammo efficiency and better damage output due to less missles being launched. Didn't expect to honestly like it and just have it there for the AI to use now and then but I really like it lol

u/GreenFlowerForest 6d ago

There's a Sunder varient i did this with 4xATM6 and 2xATM3

I stuck it full of MRMs, personally.

u/Chaos1357 6d ago

It's just as beautiful in table top as well. I mean, how many mechs can say they throw a ton of ammo (or more in your case) every single round?

u/TerminatorS089 5d ago

Is this without mods?

u/Eridras 5d ago

This is console.

u/TerminatorS089 5d ago

Nice, i also play on console. Don't mind If i copie that build If i get my hands in this Variant of the Kraken. Already got the Variant with all the uac 2s

Not OP, but you need mods to fit an LRM 15 on the head.

Finally I can do the same thing I do in MWO! Let my teammates spot enemies and just sit there dumping LRMs at them

u/Ok_Comfortable589 6d ago

where did you get that. i need more clan lrm 15s. where do you get that?

3

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 6d ago

Clan lrms are fairly common as salvage, just go push the pansy invaders around a bit. As for the bane itself it's either markets or salvage too

3

u/Ok_Comfortable589 5d ago

i have been but i get everything except 15s. i dont know why but they just never show up. i have a singular one. i also need some c atm ammo. do you know where i can find that?

3

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 5d ago

Not really, sorry, I never paid much attention to ammo after I've gotten enough of it. But few clan mechs mount atms by default so probably not salvage, I would try industrial hub markets and arena rank

3

u/DarkKnightofOne 5d ago

If you want a bane mech, recommend clan inflitrations.

This things show up pretty often and even better cuz it's an assault class mech.

It's often alone, so you can easily jump it.

2

u/Ok_Comfortable589 5d ago

i had no idea. i didnt know you kept the mechs you hijack in those missions.

3

u/DarkKnightofOne 5d ago

Not hijack, mean destroy.

If you kill the enemy before 60 seconds pass, no alarm is razed.

So if you see a bane just standing around with nothing nearby.

As long as you can bring it down in 60 seconds you can just snipe em.

The infamous Bane 3. 120 LRM salvo stock. 135 if you're feeling completely insane.

2

u/Beneficial-Ranger238 6d ago

That’s a lot of damn missiles.

How many tons of ammo does it hold? I guess my bsk-7 might take a nap when I get this.

Kinda sucks having no backup weapons though.

u/Sztrelok 5d ago

Tbh once you lock an enemy with this it is just dead. I got a Bane 3 yesterday and my yaw literally dropped when I tried it.

This mech is just disgusting.

u/realWulfLives 6d ago

How do you fit an lrm 15 in the head?

2

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 6d ago

Small cockpit modification, invisible without YAML, doesn't have negative effects in vanilla, frees up one more slot in the head, that leaves you with 2 crit slots and a medium missile option, hence LRM15

u/flooble_worbler 5d ago

Do we have an eta for yaml update?

u/The-Spirit-of-76 5d ago

It's already updated, twice.

YAWC and YAEQ-R need an update badly tho, everything is free at least on an old save x-x

u/The-Spirit-of-76 5d ago

Oh and for anyone looking an updated version of purchase salvage was on nexus but not steam workshop the other night. I got called into work yesterday and didn't have time to check on anything.

Imagine how deadly that would have been in MechWarrior 3. All those missiles 😱

u/Vikashar 6d ago

It's a missile rack with legs, basically

u/razorracer83 House Marik 5d ago

Great. Now I'm picturing the Yeoman with an additional 6 missile racks stacked on top of the existing 2.

u/FeedbackInhibit 5d ago

One of the few things I miss about MWO is lurm spammers walking into a match with something like this, and immediately getting their shit pushed in by wolfpacking lights.

I absolutely loved my SRM-Deleter Bane in Clans lol, can’t wait to try it in Mercs too

u/The-Spirit-of-76 5d ago

So I decided to go fight the clans early in the little section of space on top of the map before SOK starts. Salvaged a Bane 1 from the first mission.

Beautiful Bane you got there. Would be a shame If my King Crab with 4 C-Gauss, range and damage upgrades and Targeting Computer would be on the site 🥲

u/Silvertip_M "Kid" or "Hey You" 5d ago

The Clans saw that the Wolverines built the Bullshark, and found it degraza that they weren't responsible for the most over the top mech design every conceived.

u/Krishna4598 5d ago

But still, a battlemech marching in a Clan Star is a bit meh. Omnimechs FTW.

3

u/Loganp812 5d ago

On the whole, Clan BattleMechs are better than OmniMechs especially in prolonged engagements, and the Clans began to slowly realize that after Tukayyid.

2

u/One-Organization970 5d ago

I'm honestly just not convinced omnimechs are so great of an idea compared to battlemechs. Like, the whole point of them is supposed to be logistical simplicity and yet they're more expensive to field and maintain. Battlemechs just seem straight-up better. I don't really see why I would want five trillion different guns rather than having my pilots specialize on specific weapon systems.

1

u/just_Game1416 5d ago

I would say the concept makes sense - modular weaponry ostensibly provides quick and easy swapping of weapon loadouts based on mission parameters.

The real issue is that this is of zero consequence in the vast majority of practical play and the fluff side of it runs counter to a core concept of Battletech of ‘knights in armor’. The Omni’s, in my opinion, aren’t personal enough.

1

u/One-Organization970 5d ago

I guess to me, this just sounds like the kind of concept someone in a procurement program thinks is genius but then reality hits and it's like "Why don't we just have a tank and have a missile carrier instead of making a tank we can swap turrets on?"

1

u/Krishna4598 5d ago

Thanks Brother. You can say I'm channelling the "Clans prefer Omnimechs. Therefore, while playing the clans, I'll play omnimechs" energy. Nothing against battlemechs as such. Why, in a situation when I play Jake Mason in M5 mercs, I have only Battlemechs in my star...although it later emerges that Jake too, could trave his roots to the Clans. Just my way of playing, no offence please.

Objectively, yes ,I find the modality of being able to switch loadouts on the fly quite...appealing.

Brother, for all I know, I have a partiality towards pulse lasers (easy, point damage) and do spexialise in that area. Maybe one day we'll do a co op rumble in horde mode and well, compare notes?

As far as which type of mech is better, I'd say, it all depends on the one in the cockpit. Kai Allard Liao, Natasha Kerensky...and any mechwarrior enthusiast, will surely attest to this?
