I'm also experiencing this with both Mechwarrior 5 games right now. Light mechs are beaten by medium mechs are beaten by heavy mechs are beaten by assault mechs. There's nothing that can beat a 100 ton mech, except for another 100 ton mech. And since you can only field 4 or 5 mechs at a time, the optimal loadout is gonna be 4 assault mechs every time

This also means that the game is incredibly hard at the beginning, when you only have a single light mech, and gets easier and easier until it's almost trivial in the end. This is just not an interesting way to design the game

mech bay: are you sure? this is gonna cost more and take longer because we're in a conflict zone

me: well yeah I have no choice in that confirms

Ryanna: how about we head to an industrial hub next. We could repair all our mechs there, it's gonna be cheaper

What's the point of multi mission objectives? There's only two ways you can do them

• take little to no damage during the entire run

• have enough spare mechs for x missions in a row. If we're talking 3 missions, that's 12 mechs you gotta have at the ready 😬

The existence of things like the Manticore Heavy Tank basically means that none of the mechs in this universe make sense.

If you can strap 4 heavy weapons to a tank that's really low to the ground and difficult to hit, why would you strap those same 4 weapons to a mech that is basically a huge metal dude standing up

You're facing numbers of enemies that you usually don't see over the course of five missions

It would make so much sense to place a turret on a battelmech, but apparently that violates the constraints of the setting.

Come to think of it, it's actually really hard to believe that a battlemech would be operated by one single person. A main battle tank in the real world is crewed by three to five people. So why would a battlemech, which is a far more complex machine, be able to be operated by a single pilot?

@schratze Energy weapons are sweet until you get hit and lose some of those heat sinks. Then you're extra fucked.

MISSILES. More missiles are always the answer.

@mdhughes you're always gonna need a combination of weapons. The problem with missiles is that they distribute damage evenly across the enemy mech. No way to target single components or make a killing shot.

Pure energy builds can work, but you absolutely need those double heat sinks. So guess what I did to this Annihilator

@schratze But the funniest thing ever is peppering some energy goon with missiles, taking out all their heat sinks at once. Who cares if I hit one system, when I make them shut down or explode next turn?

Of course I stopped laughing when the fucking Clan mechs showed up and now everyone had 50 heat sinks. Mostly quit after that.
