MechWarrior Online: Stormcrow (Ryoken) Video Series

Here are a series of videos of the Stormcrow, aka Ryoken,, a 55 ton medium Clan mech. The Omnipods allow for many different builds across the three variants.

In the video below I pilot the Stormcrow Prime variant with two Clan ER Large Lasers and three Clan ER Medium Lasers in a Frozen City Night Assault match. I get 4 kills and 6 assists on 582 damage.

MechWarrior Online: Nova (Black Hawk) Video Series

Here are a series of videos of the Nova, a 50 ton medium Clan mech. The Nova is also known as the Black Hawk. The Omnipods allow for many different builds across the three variants.

The video below is an Assault match that took place in HPG Manifold. I am piloting the Nova Prime with 4 Clan ER Medium Lasers, 6 Clan ER Small Lasers, and 4 Machine Guns. I get 2 kills and 7 assists on 649 damage.

 

In this Assault match in Tourmaline Desert, we are an eight man Death's Hand Brigade group and come back from being down 1-6 to win the match. I get 3 kills and 5 assists on 916 damage.

MechWarrior Online: Banshee, BCN-3S, with AC20 and 2 Large Laser In Action

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Banshee, BCN-3S, with an AC20, two Large Lasers, and a Medium Laser. This isn't a super fantastic build, but it is a decent tanking mech because the weapon cool downs give you time to fire and torso twist as needed. Basically, it gets the job done.

The below video is a come from behind win during a Forest Colony Assault match. We end up ambushing some of the enemy at the arch/tunnel exit and then push through to crush their attempted ambush at the other end. I end up with 2 kills and 8 assist on 632 damage.

 

MechWarrior Online: Centurion, CN9-A, with 2 Medium Laser and 3 SRM6

Here are a series of videos were I pilot the Centurion, CN9-A, with 2 Medium Lasers and 3 SRM6. This build is affectionately known as the "zombie centurion" or "zombie cent" because it can lose both arms, both side torsos and continue to fight due to the medium lasers being in the center torso.

The below Assault match takes place in Alpine Peaks where I get 2 kills and 10 assists on 253 damage. My damage output is so low because of the very hectic fur ball that takes place and SRMs are not the ideal weapons for that situation.

MechWarrior Online: Atlas AS7-D with 2 Large Laser, 2 LRM10, and 2 Medium Laser In Action

This is a series of videos where I pilot my Founder's Atlas, AS7-D (F), with 2 Large Lasers, 2 LRM10 with Artemis, and 2 Medium Lasers. It's not a LRM boat or a typical high damage output build, but it can do some serious damage over the course of a match. The LRMs can be used to engage at long range while taking little damage in return. Once you get in the 180 to 500 meters range, the LRMs perform more like Streak SRMs and you get to add in your lasers for pinpoint damage to strip off  heavily damaged parts of your enemy.

The below Assault match took place in River City where I got 4 kills and 8 assists on 674 damage. 

MechWarrior Online: JagerMech, JM6-DD, with 2 PPC and 6 Machine Gun In Action

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the JagerMech, JM6-DD, with 2 PPCs and 6 Machine Guns. It's not a great build, but it can be effective and it is fun.

The video below is a Crimson Strait Assault match where I get 5 kills and 5 assists on 534 damage. I also get the Johnny Five achievement for getting 5 kills in one match. I thought I had gotten 5 kills in a match since the achievement system went live before this match, but I guess not. :D

MechWarrior Online: Banshee, BCN-3M, with 2 Large Pulse Laser and 4 Medium Pulse Laser In Action

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Banshee, BCN-3M, with two Large Pulse Lasers and four Medium Pulse Lasers. It's a fun build with a "little" secret inside. :D

The video below is a comeback win in an Alpine Peaks Assault match. I don't do much, but it had to be shared.

This Assault match took place in HPG Manifold where I got 2 kills and 5 assists on 537 damage.

MechWarrior Online: Griffin, GFN-1N, with ER PPC and 3 Streak SRM2 In Action

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Griffin, GFN-1N, with an ER PPC and 3 Streak SRM2. It's not a high damage alpha strike build, but it puts out a good amount of damage each match and is an efficient light and medium hunter.

In the below match I get 1 kill and 10 assists on 581 damage in a Frozen City Night Assault match.

MechWarrior Online: Atlas AS7-D with 2 AC5 and 2 ER Large Lasers In Crimson Stait Assault

A Death's Hand Brigade group of 3 assault mechs and 1 medium mech assault the enemy base while our PUGs hold off the enemy at our base. We eliminate the defensive turrets and capture the enemy base to win the match.

I am piloting an Atlas AS7-D (one of my Founder's mechs) with two AC5, two ER Large Lasers, and two Medium Lasers.

 

MechWarrior Online: Quickdraw, QKD-4H, Video Series

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Quickdraw, QKD-4H, in a variety of builds.

In the video below I am using four Medium Lasers and three SRM6 in Frozen City. Not exactly the best build for today's primarily long range game, but once it gets in range... Watch out.

I get 3 kills, 4 assists on 587 damage in this match on Frozen City.

In this video I am using four Medium Pulse Lasers and three SRM4 in a Canyon Network Assault match. The win comes down to a fight between me and a Cataphract. Who will win? :D

I get 4 kills and 4 assists on  654 damage.

MechWarrior Online: Cataphract CTF-3D with 2 ERPPC and Advanced Zoom Module

I'm piloting a Cataphract CTF-3D with 2 ERPPC, 2 Medium Pulse Lasers, and the new Advanced Zoom module while in a Canyon Network Assault game. I really like the new advanced zoom module. The old version was near unusable, but this new version is great. You can actually tell what you are shooting. Big kudos to PGI on this change.

MechWarrior Online: Jagermech, JM6-S, with 2 AC20 in Alpine Peaks

I solo drop in a Jagermech, JM6-S, with 2 AC20 in Alpine Peaks Assault while chatting with people in my Twitch channel, www.twitch.tv./Gimpy21. I only get 4 kills and 1 assist with 366 damage on the loss, but it was still fun.

 

MechWarrior Online: Cataphract, CTD-3D, with 2 ERPPCs in Tourmaline Desert

I dust off my favorite Cataphract, CTF-3D, with 2 ERPPCs, 2 Medium Pulse Lasers, and 2 Jump Jets for an Assault match in Tourmaline Desert. I hadn't played this mech in quite a while and realized I really need to play it more. It is fun, and although not a brawler like I usually play, I am effective with it. Despite a sub-par sniper alpha strike (only 20 points) I get 4 kills and 5 assists on 460 damage. Oh yeah, one of those kills was a 700+ meter side torso XL engine kill on a Jenner (1:55 in the video). :D

MechWarrior Online: Atlas, AS7-D-DC with AC20 and 2 Large Lasers in Action - Part 3

While piloting an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20 and 2 Large Lasers, and 3 SRM6s, we run into a DHB group in a Caustic Valley Assault battle. Not sure if you can see it in the in-game text chat, but one of my fellow DHB team mates put a bounty on my head if someone would team kill me.

MechWarrior Online: Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with AC20 and 2 Large Lasers in Action - Part 2

While piloting an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20, 2 Large Lasers, and 3 SRM6s, we run into another DHB group in a Tourmaline Desert Assault battle. I get a couple of light mech kills and a lucky finishing shot on another Atlas.

MechWarrior Online: Victor, VTR-9B, with AC20 in River City Night

I put up 803 damage with 2 kills and 4 assists in a Victor, VTR-9B, with an AC20, 2 Medium Lasers, and 2 SRM6s in a River City Night Assault match. I might have done more damage if I hadn't run out of ammo. :D

MechWarrior Online: Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with AC20 and 2 Large Lasers in Action

While in a DHB 4 man group, I pilot an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20, 2 Large Lasers, and 3 SRM6s in an Alpine Peaks Assault battle. The AS7-D-DC is the mech I have spent the most time in (37 hours time played) and is arguably my best mech.

 

MechWarrior Online: Blackjack, BJ-1X, In Action: Part 4

Part 4 in my Blackjack, BX-1X series of videos showing the overpoweredness of the Blackjack. This takes place in Tourmaline Desert and I only get 1 kill and 5 assists on 330 damage.

MechWarrior Online: Blackjack, BJ-1X, In Action: Part 3

This is the Blackjack, BJ-1X, with 2 Medium Lasers and 6 Small Pulse Lasers. I did 684 damage with 3 kills and 4 assists on Frozen City Night in Assault mode. The damage and kills are personal bests for me in the Blackjack.

Originally, I had 8 Small Pulse Lasers on the mech, but the lack of any weapons with an optimum range over 90 meters really hurt. So, I swapped out the two small lasers in the side torsos with two Medium Lasers. Same tonnage, but a little more damage and range (270 meters).

The appeal of this build is the the pin point damage and fast recycle time of the pulse lasers. Basically, with 6 Small Pulse Lasers, you are doing almost as much damage as an AC20 for far less heat and at a much, much faster rate of fire. Yes, the range is a lot shorter than an AC20, but that's why you are running around at 116 kph to get up close and personal. :D

MechWarrior Online: DHB 8 Man in Epic Canyon Network Battle

A Death's Hand Brigade 8 man group takes on a 7 Atlas and 1 Jenner group in a Canyon Network Assault game. We were out-tonned by a lot, but still manage to pull off a convincing win.
