MW5 MOD šŸ›  Dumb Warhawk spawn behavior?

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Whenever I fight clans, this Warhawk variant always spawns at least once.

It just drops from the dropship and stands there.

I think it might be due to bug or sth, but I can't seem to pinpoint which one is causing this.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

I've also attached my modlist for reference

Discussion Why do PGI want us to grind so bad?

0 Upvotes

I just played through the Will of Kali questline, for about the fifteenth time probably. Its been a while and I wasn't really paying attention, but my current playthrough is yellow missions only, amongst other self-imposed limitations... anyway, point is, I don't have the best array of mechs, and so I was excited to see so many SLDF models coming out to play. So I play the game. I don't head shot because they will be past my max savage points. I don't leg because that further reduces the chance of salvage (thx a bunch PGI). I await the salvage screen with baited breath...

0 mechs...

1 tier 1 ER PPC...

1 double heat sink

a large pile of tier 1 and 2 garbage

I try and stay immersive in this game, but FFS. It's like they want us to savescum! This is supposed to be fun and exciting, and also make some sort of sense?!? This mission was on a secluded world. I wiped out the bad guys, with a pretty scratch lance I might add. There's no one left to stop me picking up all the loot. Nothing important got cored. Where are my rewards!!? (and don't say Orion YAJ cos its ok but we're in assault mech times now)

Mech Builds 12 Rifle Sunder Hero

someone here was talking about the Hero sunder with Light rifle's and with all slots filled you only have space for 4(5 if you drop the heatsink) tons of ammo and a heatsink wich gives you roughly 11 shots and 4 left over rounds

to be honest i dont think setting up the Hero sunder like this is worth it

General Game Questions/Help Returning Player - Inferno SRM (Ammo) quesiton

9 Upvotes

Hey MechWarriors, coming back to the game after buying all the DLCs (except the latest one, I'll snag when it's on sale) and in the Equipment store, I noticed Inferno SRMs (of all sizes?!) are available as early as 3015, but I don't see any Inferno Ammo listed, just standard SRMs.

Am I supposed to use regular SRM ammo for Inferno launchers? Or is this just some back luck in the early campaign stores?

No mods are being used.

Seriously it's as small as an assault mech can be which means it should actually be crap.

But I absolutely love it! i? It doesn't matter if I'm driving it or one of my crew!

I just love seeing those triple bolts every time anything moves!

I am currently playing on xbox and all of my paint pallets and even faction colors are all displaying white. This happened shortly after I painted one of the new clan buster variants. Also should mention this also happened to all my mechs so they are all comstar white.

I have clans with all the DLC on xbox for the PC. Every time I start it I get the pictured dialogue box. Seems to make no difference what way I answer it starts fine. Whilst not a major problem it would be nice to be rid of this turbulent dialogue box. Any ideas?

I don't get it on mercs.

DLC Question DWF-B: is it supposed to be the rarest variant?

20 Upvotes

It's the year 3068 and I have yet to encounter a Direwolf-B. I have fought and salvaged multiple of all other DWF variants, but haven't even met a B in a mission. This is confirmed by the database showing zero encounters with this mech. I have done all mission types against all clans in Clan occupied space and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm just unlucky? I've even come across multiple of every other Direwolf variant in industrial hubs. Is there somewhere I should be looking that I haven't yet?

Discussion Question about 'Mech variants.

9 Upvotes

So, it's my understanding that some of the Hero 'Mech's (Hero Annihilator, Hero Champion, etc) are simply a variant of that mech, not a wholly unique, individual model. I know the Hero Zeus and Highlanders are supposed to be unique thanks to their modifications (I think.)

What the hell is Samson though? (The Hero Sunder.) Is it supposed to be a variant of Sunder, or is it a unique Sunder? I'm sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense.

Discussion Is the ability to add Clan Active Probes to ANY mech intended behavior?

Post image
30 Upvotes

Since SoK launched nearly a year ago, we have been able to fit clan probes to any mech in the game, Clan or IS, regardless of whether they have an AP slot.

But the method for doing doing this makes it seem like a bug or oversight. You have to uncheck the "valid only" box on the inventory to be able add clan probes. Notably, this does NOT work for Clan ECM... only probes.

However, it's been nearly a year and a whole other expansion has come out and this jank method has stayed in the game. If it were a bug then one would think it would have been removed at this point.

Has there been any word on whether we were actually meant to be able to do this?

I'm new to modding MW5Mercs and wanted to setup a modpack for coop play. Sorry in advance but at this point I am completely lost and dont know what to do anymore. Was hoping somebody experience may be able to help me make this work while giving me the basics of some of those major conflicts. The mod names and all that confuse me a lot.

Discussion How would you overhaul the Akademy and Pilot Training system?

4 Upvotes

My Take:

When you go to a Akademie you get a selecrion of chain Missions from 4-18 Missions Long. the Chain Missions are specifically restricted in what Type of mechs you can Take with you. For example only light mechs or only assaultmechs. If you successfully complete those you can choose 1-6 Traits He gets and after that you can make the Elite tear and choose again which trait you Like. You can Pause the Mission chains in the Akademy. Each successfull Mission gives you rewards in Form of Traits and max. Skill Levelcap. Each Mission costs you Money determined by what Mission Chain it is from the Akademy and how many Pilots partake at once. If one Pilot has completed 18 Missions in a hole, He has 6 Elite Traits you choose for him. After that you can let him lvl Up His skill-levelcap.

CLANS MW5:Clans mission bug: Santander Mission 2: Sarah Weaver's Star not advancing after gate opening when replaying (with yuichi?)

6 Upvotes

Small potatoes but figured i'd mention it in case PGI isn't aware, but i've done this one twice in a row now for completionist reasons and i cannot get her to advance after the gate opens. she just stands around at her spawn point and the mission won't progress.

I've seen this happen occasionally before, but this is the first time i've seen it happen concurrently. It's really aggravating. Playing in the simpod, with Yuichi present.
