Mechs and their Counter Strategies

I appreciate the effort put into this guide. It's a good start. Some tips:
1. Kill your darlings. The off topic inserts are fun to write, but make reading hard. Your main message gets lost in all the noise, which is a shame.
2. Terminology. Read up on it. You talk about "leading" when you mean "tempo" in military terms, or "initiative" in sports. Tempo or initiative is key in virtually every game or combat situation. It mean you can dictate the situation and fight on your terms. Leading is usually reserved for a technique in which you anticipate your target's location and shoot where you expect it to be.
3. Some formating (I know you are working on it). Perhaps ask Saturnine for some tips. That guide is pretty much the best practice around here.
I really feel that you have struck gold with starting this guide, so don't be discouraged by my critique. It's just that I feel you have got some good going and with some improvement and input from the community it could become a great guide. Front page material, like the class guide.

I am not in the military, but have played wargames and combat sports. I know what he meant, but needed to read over it a couple of times to make sure what AYellowMinion meant by leading. The explanation is fine, the term is just confusing. Especcially when others on the forums talk about leading shots with GLs and TOW and actually mean aiming where the target is going to be (the usual meaning).
Writing a guide is about getting people to understand. Clarity is key...

You started something good, perhaps you should take on more of an editing role. I'd be willing to update the counter for the grenadier and technician. You can paste and editing. In time, this guide could become part of the class guide.
