Started my 2nd Career mode in Battletech Flashpoint.... went bankrupt the first time after 2 disastrous missions in a row

Building up my stable of mechs, I'm running 2 Vindicators, Hunchback and a Shadowhawk loaded with SRM

Got the finance payment coming up so I take an easy 1.5 skull mission just to cover the operating costs for the month. Drop into a wooded area and in 2 turns I'm surrounded my 4 Locusts, chewing away at my armor with laser and machine gun fire. They are evasive and in wooded cover so I'm having a hell of a time getting my ( mostly ) green pilots to land any damage on them. This goes on for a few turns and I'm losing to these 20 ton pests.

F THIS

All 4 of my mechs close to melee range. PUNCH - leg off. PUNCH - CT destroyed, PUNCH - leg off, PUNCH side torso off and pilot injured.

I'm laughing at this point. The two legged locusts get their cockpits stomped on. Dead mechwarrior, threat neutralized. Crippled mech takes a Hunchback punch to the rear CT - dead.


... and then the tanks showed up. Man I love this game.
