I have been around about 2 years. Everyone told me not to buy predator when I was new. Me being who I am it was my second mech. The first week I hated it. Why ? Timing of weapons after I started to get the hang of it the mech is realy well ballenced. It is a difficult mech to play ... I would say the hardest. personaly the t32 is a compleat waste on pred you have to get way to close with it and that means taking self dammage if you use your Eoc P.
Some notes if you do go pred
ONE , patience this is the key to a good pred pilot. GET BEHIND THEM , WAIT WAIT , WAIT .... NOW ATACK WHEN THEY ARE WEAK.
TWO , breacher is the only weapon that can fire though sheilds. Side note most good pred piolets know if you charge your breacher fire and then tap second shot will fire faster than if you just dobble taped it.
THREE , DULE EOC IS THE ONLY WAY TO PRED , When using both eoc drop one or two eoc pred on the enemy then drop all six eoc R , Another trick , do not fire on the mech directly fire at ther feet or knee level. lastley fire whe you think they will go not where they are.
Pred is not a front line mech if you play it like that you will get slaugtered be a sneeky backstabbing Bastered. If you are not playing like this you are doing pred wrong.
Pred's cloke is just that not true invisablity so do not think you can just walk in front of a person while cloked . Cover is your ally so is your heat vision as well as not moving somtimes... IF YOU DO NOT MOVE IT IS WAY HARDER to spot you when cloaked.. this fact has saved me more times that any thing else. Finaly pred is most powerful for BURST DAMMAGE that is pop out drop all you mines doge for cover relocaate , rinse repeat.
Lastly if you stay in th middle of a map cloked and a persons redicule passes over you you will be hilighted ...... be warned cover and not moving ,,,, do not stand in the middle of a map and get killed and say I did not move why did I get killed.
aditional notes : pred is The most difficult mech in the game to play well. Even us people that main preds still think so ... but I will say this Please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAVE PRED THE WAY IT IS. IF YOU BUFF THE WEAPONS IT WILL NOT END WELL... ( PRED IS FINE WHER IT IS AT THE MOMENT.)
Most people that scream that pred needs a buff just have not learned to play it to its full potentional.
Like I said I hated pred for the first week ... by the second he was my main mech.
PLAY PRED AS A DEFENCIVE SUPPORT MECH WHEN YOU START OUT , WHEN YOU GET BETTER YOU CAN PLAY SOMEWHAT MORE OFFENCIVE ... BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE A FRONT LIINE MECH.
