Wow. Thats all I really have to say. I never used C class mechs in any of the other betas/alphas but, WOW. This thing is amazing. I'm scurred it will get the nerf bat.

EDIT: By 'never used' I mean I didn't enjoy them much.

I was Bruisering and was steamrolling this DM. Then this bugger Rocketeer comes outta nowhere and is just the most opportunistic bugger. Those missiles would just swoop into the middle of brawls, landing missiles before I could and whomping my arse when I was bruised from taking others out.

Heck, I managed to crawl up his arse in close quarters and he almost downed me.

I managed to stay on top at the very end, but he wasn't far behind. Overtook me at one point too.

And I was all like, man when were Rocketeers such tough bastards?

Facing a rocketeer feels like facing a raging bull with a rubber chicken... they're just too damn powerful. The can dish out loads of damage, and when you try to outrun for a quick repair, they seeker the hell out of you. They should have lower HP since everything overheats before you can blast em down.

I don't have too much a problem with them. I say a tiny nerf is in order but not to where it was previously.

OMG SEEKER SO HARD 2 USE
MOST SKILL WEAPON EVAH

Seriously.
Rocketeer is stupid easy to use.

If you can't land you shots, I feel bad for you son. Rocketeer may have problems, but aiming ain't one.

Ok so i've just had my first test run with rocketeer
and this is my first impression:

OMG, SO FREAKING OP!.
Got to last few minutes of a siege.
Only 6/1 but i had little time to make it better, still scored first.
And when i said it's OP some smarta*s said that i whine because i die, lol.
I killed 3 guys while literally drinking coffy with my left hand and holding LMB with my right hand, pushing RMB from time to time and dashing sometimes inbetween sips.

It's me new favourite sharpshooter :).
But seriously, something's wrong here. Sure some sneaky inflirtrator could kill me with few nades to the face (or back) but that was just my first game with it... i mean, cmon.

LMFAO

Anywho... yea guys... its not hard to boost behind ANY C-Class. All mechs take extra DMG from rear shots. 1 Tow will take almost half HP on any mech. It may be slightly OP as far as its CRAZY AMOUNT OF FIRE POWER is concerned but other than that its a pretty well rounded and balanced mech.

Ok, so i just found out that you can use MMB to acquire the target.
So that's the rotflstomp button
joined somewhere halfway through the game:
Posted Image

(But seriously, it just didn't work (mmb) in the first test run with it, dunno why)
That pic above, no that's not boasting, that's having kinda OP mech.
interesting situation 2 guys somewhat teamed coming from the left, one coming from front top, one grenadier on an also higher ground on the right, all with full health, everyone kinda shooting everyone... the problem is i'm inbetween getting most of the attention.
Guess what, killed them all, sure i tried to get a little bit of cover from my right so nades would hit mostly guys on the left a they'd feel kinda obliged to also return the fire to the guys on my right (and top front) and that way i had it little easier to finish them all when trying to fly to be harder to hit.
But let's be honest, most of the time i didn't see anything through all that rocket's and nade's explosions, not to mention very few fps...

But hey, if you call that balance then let's just pretend i'm skilled from the get go.

EDIT://
Can't wait for my optimisations.

Honestly I think that if the seeker fired slower and generated a bit more heat it would be more balanced. I do like really enjoy the Rocketeer though, he feels like his name finally.

EDIT: I think I will be playing him until my sharpshooter returns.

Also, What do we think of the Bruiser? It is sorta tricky to kill a single target. Tricky meaning you have to be super aware of heat usage. I love his special ability, but it's bordering mouse wheel spamy.

Ok, another few games with rocketeer.
Played against lvl13 rocketeer and 2 good bruisers (+1 random guy i think), got rotflstomped, Soon it was 4v3 for them.
I raged a bit, someone from their team started talking something in finnish(or some other language idk) about my smacktalk on chat, well i got angry i must admit.
But hey, meaby they were just better?
I went to a different siege, this time i was the top lvl rocketeer, 4v4 but we quickly rotflstomped them. Meaby they were just bad, -1 hp soon 2 of them ragequitted but i thought hey, it's kinda unfair, i'll change teams so those who decided not to ragequit will at least have some fun and so to make teams even (not 4v2 but 3v3), when it was still 3v3 we (this time with me on enemy's side) rotflstomped my former team, after -1hp for their base 2 more players joined and it was back to 4v4 but...

Well... another proof for rocketeer opness atm.

I remember using the Rocketeer in the various CBEs, it was quite fun to use, you just had to place your shots well. Now, with the Seeker and new Chassis, it's even more badass.
