Read about a method which I use a lot, sensor lock and shooting from way out of the enemy sight range. If I got the space and able to retreat from their fastest mech, and assuming that the terrain is flat enough to allow for that.
Read somewhere people think headshots are a bit overpowered. I suppose in my 2nd playthrough I just made everyone tactical specialists. That 1 initiative bonus helps me stay ahead of the computer, crippling key mechs before they can act, plus the called shot mastery. Nothing comes close to tactical skills in terms of taking charge of the battle field and avoiding damage.
One other thing which I use is jumping behind and shooting mechs in the back. Always a quick way to get a kill if you're close enough. And something I've never seen the computer do.
Are there other overkill strategies that you use? Haven't gotten into knocking mechs over with missiles, maybe thats something I'll try in future. Do you have any favoured strategies?
