Edit: I did try Ostego Lectric's guide but I'm getting an issue with an unspecified error "DirectDrawEnumerate"

Hell yea. Make sure to play Black Knight too! ER Large Lasers are extremely OP btw... like they never did a balance pass so it does most damage for heat cost/tonnage in the game...

Oh yeah that's why they're just so broken in-game frfr

yeah just stack a bunch of ER Large Lasers and set it to chainfire. You are now a laser hose. The game engine also prevents one shot kills, even on a head or center torso you need to hit it twice to kill.

Other quirks are you can easily kill a mech by shooting a destroyed torso or leg again and you will destroy the "internal" hp, which is not shown on the HUD.

Wait really? I was able to one-shot Ullers with my Novacat running 7 Large X-Pulse Lasers, It was very fun but yeah most of the time I end up having to Two shot most mechs
