Had a good week game-wise. Won 1st in all my tournaments after skipping the first day. Doubled up my MG12s which finally finishes off my MG upgrades. Cleared the last of my Gear Hub tasks after the update. And I won a free gold Missile Rack Damage implant! 🥳
Unfortunately MG12s are pretty disappointing so far. I had hoped they'd turn my Bastion into a wrecking ball for FFA. But up close they are weaker than AT12s (I have them on an off-brand gold pilot so that affects things, but I have their gold damage implant maxed). They are also super impacted by freezing and that makes moving around with them an issue. And I forgot about the whole 50% decrease in turn speed. But after a bit, I found on the right maps they can be good for sniping. Basically work like I imagine Gauss Rifles do (never actually used those). Managed to get better results with them sniping in the FFA hotel map than with my EMR12s. I can definitely see their potential for Eclipse where you're immune to freezing, hard to hit in stealth, and can move fast enough that line-of-sight isn't as much an issue. Eclipse is my next upgrade project so we'll see, but it'll be a while before it is maxed.
I've really been enjoying this hangar on CPC for the last week or so. I'm surprised at how good Gatecrasher is for Rocket Mortars! The ability is great for picking off silver of health mechs so you don't have waste another shot. Also having a lot of fun playing Guardian MR12s. Mainly working on clearing its MR Achievements (and the RM one for GC) while leveling their pilots, but overall this is a solid and fun hangar!
