[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3738251, member: 13966"] [sblock=Dire Lemming]OOC: Check the ranges on his weapons, and the ranges on your weapons, [I](you can use The Drawing Board to check these)[/I] and try to get yourself to a distance where as many of his weapons as possible are at a greater range penalty than your own, or try to get right up in his face if he is using gauss rifles or other weapons that have a 'minimum' effective range, or if your 'Mech is outfitted with primarily close-range weapons. Also, try to move around a lot to make it harder for you to be hit, and a running jump may be useful for that, since jumping adds its own modifier to the to-hit difficulty. If you have higher initiative and get up close to him, you may just be able to run or jump behind him, then shoot him in the back. It is not an un-Clanlike maneuver, just good tactics. And/or maybe try to use your targeting computer to make called shots against one body part or another; a particular leg to try and topple him, or a particular arm to try and sever it/destroy a significant weapon there, or the center torso to just wear down the armor over its engine and gyro[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
