Rogueywon has pretty much nailed everything you need to know about the game, listen to him for he is wise. I would like to add the following tips: Read the map Pretty much every mission has a straight road towards your goal. Taking it is almost always a bad idea. Your enemies know that if someone would attack them that's the space where they would come from and are usually prepared. Even if there is fog of war you can read the map and look for alternate routes, good places to lay an ambush or just spaces where you have better cover. Take that extra minute to look for advantages, especially in the early game this will save your life. If you don't hit them you are not interesting I missions where you have to escort someone or protect a location the enemy mechs will start shooting their targets immediately upon seeing them often concentrating fire of single targets. This will ruin your day. How ever if you shoot them first they will instead shift their focus to you. This is a great moment to multi-target as only the enemies that you have hit will attack your party. Jump jets are your friends This is a bit of personal taste but I have no mech in active duty that doesn't have jump jets. For one you get much better protection against enemy fire after a jump and you can chose the direction you want to face freely. Furthermore you can use jump jets to climb hills and mountains and use them for cover, better shooting positions or as shortcuts. Remember how I said that you should read the map at the start of a mission? The jump jets will allow you to take alternative routes that would have been impassable under different circumstances. Even my largest assault mechs have them and I'd rather drop a weapon or a bit of armour than not have them. |
