Guess I'll request this be added here, since apparently it's not good enough for its own sticky :,(

That is the common opinion, but I made the expirience that A-Class is very sucessful with that tactic

Well from what I have seen I would assume that the best strategy would be of course good team play but the most is to use surrounding to your benefit.

Points to consider from a newbie:
(I am no expert or veteran, just posting from what I have personally seen or done)
(P.S. - I'm a terrible player, but am learning to A: not get killed so often, and B: be a better killer)

#1 Staying with your teammates: Generally right. however, when I am sniping from a good perch, and helping with kills one after another, covering teammates, and helping to keep the enemy pinned down or behind a choke point, it is impossible to stay anywher near my teammates. I have often gotten kills or assists from 3/4's of the way across the map easily.

#2: Dashing may light me up on the radar, but when conditions are right, I can hit a couple of enemies from three different directions, and they really don't know where the hell I am at any one point, what I'm trying to do, who I am going after. I have been able to dash right through groups of enemies without dying, causing them to chase after me, which brings them into view of my teammates, preoccupies them, and even leading them into intentional or unintentional ambushes. - I also do get blown up doing this too, to be honest - but I'm hella fast, and its so fun!

#3: The game Devs need to give MUCH better info on items/gear: I have been confused and wasting resources on things like EU canisters only to find out they have nothing to do with fuel! ( I did do searches and check forums on this) There are little to no description or info on such things, and it is very inconsiderate to players. Its just a little text for crying out loud!

I don't think I saw this in manoeuvring, or how useful it is in the long run, but I think its kinda cool, so I'll plonk this down:

You know when you land from a higher surface, there's that split second where you can't boost/ move_ Well, you can avoid that by pressing jump a split second before you land. This'll allow you to start boosting as soon as you've reached the ground.

To be honest, I think the practical application of this move is pretty limited as it really is only a split second, but I enjoy the extra fluidity that this move enables.

Also, if there are any MLA fans out there, it's a little like move cancelling_ Yeah!_ Otherwise just ignore this part.

I have been hitting jump/hover/etc just before landing, only because I figured long, hard landings might give me damage - but you are right about eliminating the delay in boosting!

Today I was trying to find that key combination that caused me to bosst up and back, and could not find it! - Anybody else familiar with such move___ I'd love to find it again !!!

Yeah, hover before landing is an old trick from closed beta days, lol.

Boost up and back is a new one ... if you can reproduce it, I'd be curious as to what it is, lol

You can rearrange your mech list by dragging and dropping them with your mouse.  Took me a couple days to realize that.  DOH!

I don't know if this has been covered yet, but the most important thing is to never miss.
