I was going through my mech stats and noticed that my victor 9S has crazy higher ratio stats then my others. 10.5 K/d ratio and a 5/6 winning ratio out of 20 games played (havnt had him that long so in time it may balance, but as it stands). Also, this mech has never seen a team game, all pub drops. Just got me wondering, do ya'll have a mech that just went beast for you that you didnt expect? And if so, which mech is it?
CTF-4X. Slower than AOL, but, solid killing machine. Even win ratio, but 4.15 kill/death. My unexpected was a recent acquisition of a Spider! (Vergere's fault) SDR-5D. Didn't expect much more than a fast, annoying capper. Turns out, she caps SKULLS! 30 matches played, K/D Ratio of 3.0. Did not see her getting that many kill-shots.
CICADA CDA-3M 18kills 9deaths I used to hate Cicada's, but this bad boy has only been basic'd out, and it is a killer!
My KD ratios are so skewed that it is impossible for me to judge a viable machine by the stats. The reason for this? When grinding them I tend to speed grind machines; I drop into a PUB match, do as much damage as possible and if I die I drop out and move to the next variant of the 3 chassis I am grinding. This is reckless yes but I grind through chassis 50% or more faster than other people I know who sit and evaluate every little nuance of a drop LOL Besides, when Achievements come into the game all these stats will be reset and I will be playing with fully maxed out mechs and can better gauge their effectiveness.
My SDR-5D, 65 games played and 47 kills with 27 deaths. I did not fully appreciate the issues with spiders before I piloted them myself. They are truely small and fast but the HSR is one helluva shield.
I'm with Cpt Chattahah and Lan on this one: The 5D with the ERPPC is death on heels.. i'll have to check, but K/D is probably over 2.0. The sucker has a ridiculously high survival rate. The only Mechs i really fear in 5D are other Spiders, Jenners and Cicadas..
The Death's Knell was a pleasant surprise. I bought it half for the joke (hero commando, so epic!) but it turned to be a nice little machine.
Definitely not. it is a really small mech with a reasonable firepower of 4xMLas. Speed is the same as a jenner without JJ basically, but the small profile really helps.
Mine would have to be the Awesome 8R, or the Whoosh mech. I as running a Stalker and was doing fine, but it was just slow. I based my build off of one I saw with some tweaks. I thought it would be ok as a mech... Through first ten games I had a 30-1 kdr...
The Catapult K2 w/ dual LBX10. I only bring it out every now-and-then, but when I do, I clean house (until I run into an AC/40 or dual gauss build). I've managed to keep an even kdr and wlr with The Death's Knell. That sort of amazes me, especially when you look at my other Commando's stats.
STK3-F today... Jeez. I hate slow mechs, but, I was WRECKED at first enemy contact. Down to 23% after my team all stopped short of the Kappa ridge on Assault-Mode Caustic Valley. I was the only one to peek my cockpit over and was met with at least a half dozen large energy weapons and followed by a Raven which kept missle lock for what I would estimate to be 200 LRMs. (2x Catapults, 2x Atlas, Stalker and LRM Jager) Good god... I was not happy. Fired one shot and was down to 23% health and only had 1 LPL and 1 LLas left. However, I stuck with my cowering team for the rest of the match and 2x2 the enemy came and we cleaned 'em up. I still ended with two kills and just over 400 damage only firing two weapons. That Stalker crawled it's way through and still managed to preform. I was surprised. Not really and under-dog. Just not my favorite mech and it came through better than I expected. Still hate slow mechs.
My best win:loss ratios are in DRG-1C, COM-TDK, and various Awesomes believe it or not then again my stats are pure shit cuz i dont give a damn about stats, so, w/e
