Oh... That is an interesting bait. I go differently though. I
let my lance mates do the dirty work and snipe while I do ambushing
and flanking. I just don't go for sniping already since MW3. Not my
style anymore and many of the mechs I used are more suited for
close range combat, ie. Atlas, Fafnir, Templar,
Executioner/Gladiator, Black Knight, Thanatos, Uziel. I never had
the chance to use Zeus, Masakari, Dragon and others as I don't have
the expansion packs in those.
I use each mech according to their configuration. Timberwolf, Mad
Dog/Vulture, Awesome, Daishi/Dire Wolf, Mauler, Summoner/Thor are
definately suited for long range combat. Most of their
configuration include long range sensors and anti-missle systems.
Even their weapons load out seems to seduce you towards long range
weapons.
I go for survival playing. So speed, armor and jumpjets are the
more desirable stuffs to me than weapons and heat sinks. I just
like to rush in an 80++ ton mech loaded with autocannons and PPCs
and streak SRMs at 70 mph and above. Encircle the target and aim
for quick kill at the center torso or the pilot seat.
