Why Not The T-Bolt

Seems to me that loading the Arrow 1V Thunderbolt on your Mech instead of Missiles sounds links a good idea these days. I’ve noticed that , it recycles at 6.50 , (faster then before) the heat has decreased and it’s also capable of getting a target lock! Nice. With a range of up to 1200.00 it will out range and cause more damage than the LRM 20. Not Bad, I’m going to pack a few on my Thor with ECM, kick back and cap a few Mechs from afar. See how they like that, heh.

Oh yeah , and with the way the Black Knight Mech sticks it's head out , ... It's easy to get lock. Two twin T-Bolt shots to the head will finish it NP. If for some reason you miss the shot , your T-Bolts still have lock and will swing around to hit the Mech from behind where the Armor is weakest. Hmmm Baware the T-Bolt.....

i don't think it's really feasible to fully boat with tbolts...for one thing u can only get a couple of them on b4 u run outta tonnage real quick. Off the top of my head, i have a longbow with either a tbolt and loads of lrms, and a coupla lsrs, 2 tbolts (that i'll never b brave enuff to use), and one with the cluster tbolt and some lrms.....actually, sod it..load up the tbolts and blow the crap outta something....to b honest, if someone can get into range vs that kinda firepower, they deserve to get a kill against u :)

I built a Kodiak with 3 Tbolts on it and tried it out on the Jungle map.

Verdict: Crap, didn't get a single kill and all I did was piss people off.

Don't forget Grey , T-Bolts Can Lock on now in Merc. Nice. I'll aim at the arm of my Opponent and take it off with one Twin hit usually. I'm still Experimenting with the T-Bolt in Merc , But I fell with a LiL practice I'll get some respect , heh. One thing I've noticed so far is that ECM is sopposed to get a missile lock faster , but I'm still waiting to see it here. It seems about the same so far except that sometimes I won't need to acquire a good target lock to get it. Also once target Lock is acquired... you can throw the T-Bolts any which way you want and they'll find their mark , or the mech you painted with the lock. I'd like to see what the NARC does for the T-Bolt.

Oh and BTW Mal , I was looking the other day for a Mech to pack on 3 T-bolts and came up short. Looks like only two are allowed on the Mechs I have Available in Merc. Maybe that's a good thing. I'd hate to run up with a guy that can shred me with 3 T-Bolts . We'll haft to have a T-bolt round one of these days and see who walks off the field last. ........[Image
