I'm experiencing some very disappointing features with this mech, not that I'm a pro or anything but I've been comparing it with two of my mechs I recently bought: The Assault and The Sharpshooter.

 

I feel like compared to these two, the incinerator - for a Heavy C class mech is ...well, very sad.

 

Has really, really low primary output damage.

Has a wonky aim that requires you to constantly aim in twi different manners are long range, one for the normal shots and the other for the SSARE Launcher.

Launcher aoes are tiny, some even smaller than rocket explosions and deal only average amounts of damage.

You have to constantly use Launcher or you'll overheat, which means point 2, having to switch to volley mode to hit at longer ranges.

May be one of the faster class Cs but still pretty damn slow.

Long wind-up time on it's primary damage, contributing to low damage even more.

 

Sure, BearPPA has 'statistically' high damage but unless you're somekind of aimbot user - I don't think all your shots are ever going to hit and you only get to fire in sporadic bursts to avoid overheating (because Incinerator's heat capacity is also pretty low for a mech supposedly to play around heat).

 

 

Whereas on my assault and sharpshooters I'm able to take down mechs at any distance frequently as long as I have good aim (and I do, at least, enough to use them appropriately). With the Incinerator however, it's pretty much having to multitask, put in alot of effort into timing and aiming, being extremely slow and vunerable ....all while still not being able to put out decent damage. 

 

I only noticed this difference when I one day decided "Ugh, maybe I'm not good at this whole mech thing." Then accidently switched to my starting assault mech in a game, had no choice but to play it ---then things felt completely different, I didn't feel handicapped ...I even managed to consistently be in the top 3 of my team when we won.

 

 

 

This is all my experience so far, I know alot of 'critics' will swarm in and say "Oh, no. You just are playing it wrongly." Or "It's actually a really good mech! Like, OMG OP incinerator with constant fire." ....But somehow, I don't feel that way. Maybe I'm missing something like a set of Items I should be using?

 

 

 

Comments, if you feel the same way and would like to see improvements to this underwhelming mech or if you have anything else to say.
