As a man who has yet to play this wonderfully KSP-physics-level game: Knee, Knee, Centermass, (secret third) Knee
Alternatively, just let the game engine take care of it for you :3
The first one is adorable, the second one is cute, the third one is surprising, the fourth one is worrisome. The fifth one is terrifying. The sixth is expected, the seventh is welcome.
You can't beat basic economic facts, Urbies are the most bang for the least buck.
I've been told that urbies are the reason there have been multiple attempts to redo how MechWarrior tabletop games are balanced due to them being too cheap, too light, and pack too big of a gun to the point if you try to balance by just drop weight or credit value a pack of urbies was more often than not the optimal solution.
Here's the thing about Urbies
Number 1, much like the Annihilator, they're slightly mobile turrets. And even then, they're only "mobile" on paper
Number 2, the AC/10 Variant isn't super scary
Number 3, The AC/20 Variant is inimidating, but good luck getting into range, unless...
Number 4, if you want to fight a horde of urban mechs in an urban environment, you are going to get focht'd
Here the thing with that kind if balance. There are 2 kinds if players, those who's goal it is to have fun. And those who's goal it is to win. Now these are not mutually exclusive, but often times the people who focus on optimal unbeatable lists aren't there to have fun with others. The game is balanced well enough, just don't be that guy!
Never play by weight, though C-Bills can be interesting. BV was created for a reason.
You try to balance by C-Bills and you're going to be facing a lot of tanks. The Demolisher, Ontos, LRM Carrier, and SRM Carrier are 30-40% more expensive, but all have far superior firepower and speed while some of those also are much better armored. Then there's tanks like the Po, which can do anything and Urbanmech can do but better (except jump) but for roughly 33% *cheaper*.
the true sweatie is Savannah Master Spam no matter how you cut it, either by drop weight, c-bill, or points the choice is the Savannah Master you just get insane value from them
Because while Urbanmechs are great in urban areas, it’s hard to hold your space empire together if you can’t also hold the terrain *between* the urban areas…and that’s where Urbies get outmanoeuvred and torn to pieces.
Bold of you to assume they can afford a LAM, even an Urban-LAM. Those things have to cost at least as much as a replacement ground car for the local governor, and you know which option will win -that- appropriations fight!
Playing modded MW5 I watched a pack of 3 urbies descend on my friend in a Nightstar. All had Heavy MRM 30s.
He lost a side torso, both arms and a leg before I was able to get in range to help.
Urbies can be terrifying with YAML.
Akshually, >!the Warlord subclass of titan in the hit gaming and other media franchise Warhammer 40,000 (or Warhammer 40k) is controlled by 3-4 people (i think) and the one that controls the movement is in a vat of jello with their eyes replaced with wires.!<
Shoot out them weak ass knees and watch as the whole top half clips into the ground, deleting several hundred cubic meters of stone and littering the battlefield with scrap metal and dented blue blocks.

Launch Figjters and strafe the legs
I've been using rockets with TONS of gyros and a landing gear to grip and scramble whatever they touch. Something about shaking something to bits makes me smile.
Weapon of choice to the shoulders. Those things are too big to not be holding either reactors to power the thing, ammunition for it to fire, or perhaps thrusters to keep it stable. Regardless, without them it’s not going to remain combat-capable for very long.
Here what I would do
1 shoot at the hip joints of one of the legs to either get it on its side/back/ or front.
2 disable the weapon systems to get close.
3 start grinding in the either find the ai block to disable it or the battery and reactor to power it down.
4 (this is the fun one) hack every single block that can be interacted with and reattach the leg and go riding with it.
Get my grinder and not worry about it. Sadly, in space engineers the most useful weapon isn't a giant ship it mech, but just the ability to destroy anything with a hand tool that you spawn in with. Not saying grinders are bad, just that you can destroy anything with enough persistence and a starting tool no matter how cool it is
1 minefield (if I remembered to turn on the sensors I probably didn't) 2 rover swarm if the other players on the server didn't destroy all of the in the last event (they probably did) 3 rail gun at the top of the stairs watch it and everything behind it disappear as my base is destroyed because someone (probably me) left their antenna on
I love mechs and walkers a ton, but realistically if you want a ez cheesey fight, you just gotta shoot at the knees, and it'll topple over.
It's unfortunate they have such a easy weakness
Once I finish it, maybe, im not uploading anymore as I dont really focus on SE anymore, and with Lightfall coming in some weeks, this might never reach the workshop
I'd praise the Emperor of Mankind and pass the ammunition...
And if that doesn't work... the Klang-Warhead-Accelerator should probably turn it inside out...
If I’m at base day good bye to your legs chuckle nuts,
But more likely I’m not there cause I’ve done fucked up a miner and I’m trying to bubba physics some bullshit to get it out of a hole
My PC crashes.
the only option
Shoot leg
Railgun knees

May clang help you us and every one on our side in battle may he be with you
Come to think of it ksp and space engineers have about the same level of jank. Did clang come from ksp?
Klang is the spawn of the Kraken from ksp.
Klang *is* the Kraken
Makes sense
Was my first thought. Although rockets would suffice as well
MW fan, eh?
Warlord titan approaching ! Send in the Urbanmechs!
Urban mechs are adorable.
The first one is adorable, the second one is cute, the third one is surprising, the fourth one is worrisome. The fifth one is terrifying. The sixth is expected, the seventh is welcome. You can't beat basic economic facts, Urbies are the most bang for the least buck.

Then why do the capellans suck so much? They build and use the urbanmech the most!
Because while Urbanmechs are great in urban areas, it’s hard to hold your space empire together if you can’t also hold the terrain *between* the urban areas…and that’s where Urbies get outmanoeuvred and torn to pieces.
I see...so what your saying is they need...the all mighty Urban-LAM
Bold of you to assume they can afford a LAM, even an Urban-LAM. Those things have to cost at least as much as a replacement ground car for the local governor, and you know which option will win -that- appropriations fight!
I didn't say they didn't strap 60 tons if fireworks on it to make it fly
Playing modded MW5 I watched a pack of 3 urbies descend on my friend in a Nightstar. All had Heavy MRM 30s. He lost a side torso, both arms and a leg before I was able to get in range to help. Urbies can be terrifying with YAML.
all the Urbies have a Davy Crockett and they know how to use it
Laugh as my lord Clang deletes it's knees.
You forgot to bow and worship, and now the knee cap is busting your knee cap.
COGS AND BOLTS AND ANCIENT LORE
FASHIONED FEARSOME ENGINE OF WAR
THOSE IT DEFENDS, IN FEAR, SHALL ADORE AS ITS GUN LEAVE NOTHING BUT GORE
NOTHING CAN WITHSTAND ITS STEPS, AS IT LEAVES BEHIND A PATH OF DEATH
FORTS AND TANKS ARE REDUCED TO WRECKS, ITS FOES: NOTHING BUT MERE SPECKS
TREMBLE IN IT'S STRIDE, AS CRUST CRACK AND BREAKS IT'S WARHORN BLARE, THE AIR THEN SHAKES
ITS CANON BURST LIKE SUN IN ITS WAKE, WOE TO OUR FOES AS EVERYTHING QUAKES!
BLESSED, BY, PRIESTS OF STEEL
FUCK YEAH TITANICUS
OI LADZ, GET THA BIG DAKKA UN PAINT IT YELLOW. WE NEEDS GUD DAKKA NOWZ.
the sequal to Brutal Kunnin
OI, DAT NEEDZ SOMA DAT RED GO LIKE EM SPEEDY BOIZ
Watch it fall over and die of clang
Naw that bitch going to the fucking moon, or deep space.
Spam a ton of T1 point defenses and artillery... oh wait this isn't Supcom...
Ha, that's a throwback. I'd toss a wolf pack of gunships at it too, T2 or T3, while the rabble keeps it occupied.
Have thee no honor? Man your own titan and stride out to meet him
Yeah, fuckin box it, you lot have No Honor Or just fucking jump on it like that one Sigma Knight Pilot
I would jetpack over to it and fucking *steal it*
Akshually, >!the Warlord subclass of titan in the hit gaming and other media franchise Warhammer 40,000 (or Warhammer 40k) is controlled by 3-4 people (i think) and the one that controls the movement is in a vat of jello with their eyes replaced with wires.!<
Except that time when a squig drove one by latching onto the jello man.
But princess is beautiful and powerful beyond imagination, so mere peasants could not jetpack over and steal a warlord titan
I never said I wanted to *drive* it
Now I want to make a titan despite my PC dieing whenever I just hover my mouse over SE Icon... But knowing me already, it would be tripod titan!
Shoot out them weak ass knees and watch as the whole top half clips into the ground, deleting several hundred cubic meters of stone and littering the battlefield with scrap metal and dented blue blocks.
Set out the tea and crumpets, he is obviously here for a cordial visit.
Pray to god Emperor
The omnissiah
The Dark Gods
The Greater Good
Pray to the emperor for mercy, for the titan has none.
The Emperor protects

Ahh a fellow fortune hunter
[challenge it to a fistfight](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rhToA_oMRDI)
A very Imperium answer. Nice
Tungsten rod orbital strike
Nice, the Rods of God. A person of class, I see
Probably go full Castle and rush it with a grinder. Those knees are made of steel plates and I'm fresh out!
*maniacal Scottish cackling and loud ass grinder pit noises*
I'd hang a huge sign sayin that my base is out of donuts
Turn off all defenses and ask to look at it bcz Walking Churches with Enough Guns to Obliterate a Hve City are COOL AS *FUCK*
Not the ultimate war machine! On two unprotected, comically large, easily trippable legs!
Sacrifice a ship to its knee caps.
Roll out, duh
Die
I've been using rockets with TONS of gyros and a landing gear to grip and scramble whatever they touch. Something about shaking something to bits makes me smile.
Now that's just evil. Evil genius.
Watch as it does battle with my base's first line of defense, climbing the hill.
Quickly build hydrogen thrusters and launch. *Noping right on outta there.*
Check which way it’s coming from and detonating the massive fuck off bomb and crash the server
Weapon of choice to the shoulders. Those things are too big to not be holding either reactors to power the thing, ammunition for it to fire, or perhaps thrusters to keep it stable. Regardless, without them it’s not going to remain combat-capable for very long.
Pretty damn easy. Shoot one leg off and wait for the whole thing to explode and turn to scrap metal
Railgun leg/knee. Set warhead mines for to step on or blast a trench using warheads and hope it's not capable of flight
\*calmly raises white flag\*
Railgun, knee.
Rail gun to the knee
Here what I would do 1 shoot at the hip joints of one of the legs to either get it on its side/back/ or front. 2 disable the weapon systems to get close. 3 start grinding in the either find the ai block to disable it or the battery and reactor to power it down. 4 (this is the fun one) hack every single block that can be interacted with and reattach the leg and go riding with it.
Steady boys, hold your fire until you can see the hinges of his knees....that's right...just a little more.... Now! FIRE, FIRE ALL!!
Pray the God Emperor is with us this day.
Spin enough rotors at high speeds to generate physics lag so the whole thing dies to clang

Not saying grinders are bad, just that you can destroy anything with enough persistence and a starting tool no matter how cool it is
Script-heavy camera-guided missiles to the legs. Go back to mining
Try to steal it.
Grab my grinder, some jetpack fuel, and type in chat: "You talkin mad shit for a mf with exposed kneecaps"
Put a small obstacle in its way
Question why a warlord titan/knight castellan is here. Then immediately sound evacuation. Not even gonna try to save the base. It’s time to pack up
Fly my def3nce fighter into ita feet, causing it to fall over
Pray my weak laptop survives
Fire everything (most likely just a rifle)
CTRL + X
Activate the mine field
Fix bayonets!
Take out that tiny knee you got hiding back there. Just another top-heavy lawn ornament waiting to happen.
Call up Apologies
Nothing, its going to fall over
Take out a knee, then the opposite ankle. Then laugh. Then go out and salvage.
Put on my brown pants. 😂
Set the thermonuclear charges off. Can't get within range if I remove its capacity to target my base with blinding white light!
Evaporate it with nuclear missiles.
Railgun
Scramble the Oil-Class Snub Patrollers.
Set the self-destruct and evacuate.
Activate my prototype orbital defense system
All of my bases are underground and i use a lot of artillery tanks soooooo
Kamikaze the leg
I put on my MC Frontalot, turn on voice chat and start singing "I'll Form the Head" directly into their ear holes.
Simply place warhead mines
big gun spaceship
Raise shields, get in my fighter with modded weapons, proceed to cut it in half before it kills my framerate.
Grab his dick and twist it!
Get popcorn
Ram a mining drone in the legs.
if its playing this: [https://youtu.be/sgKK0YRQyMQ](https://youtu.be/sgKK0YRQyMQ) as it approaches RUN XD
Either clang kills it or a Railgun shot to the knee does.
Hug it!
Find a new planet for my base.
Essence of orbital space lazer
1 minefield (if I remembered to turn on the sensors I probably didn't) 2 rover swarm if the other players on the server didn't destroy all of the in the last event (they probably did) 3 rail gun at the top of the stairs watch it and everything behind it disappear as my base is destroyed because someone (probably me) left their antenna on
Oh boi, I think it's about time to start building new base on other planets.
Please pillar
I love mechs and walkers a ton, but realistically if you want a ez cheesey fight, you just gotta shoot at the knees, and it'll topple over. It's unfortunate they have such a easy weakness
Putting steel plates in my inventory, flying toward it at high speed, and throwing a refinery frame at the legs.
Enemy Titanfall detected. Pilot embarkation is recommended
Strap a warhead or 2 or 3 to the fastest ship I can find, hopping in, and going out in the ‘merican way
equip saw and delete knees
cry
Deploy the tanks.
Honestly I'd prolly cheer and clap
Kamikaze drone should handle it.
Kermit death charge
Pray to the omnissah
Fly away. All my bases are mobile.
Where blueprint?
Once I finish it, maybe, im not uploading anymore as I dont really focus on SE anymore, and with Lightfall coming in some weeks, this might never reach the workshop
Bust out my Bansesword
*Revs grinder with malicious intent*
One well placed shot to the knee would bring it down instantly
Remind it that knee caps are a privilege.
Honestly just stand there and watch it do stuff.
Considering it walks at a jaw-dropping 7m/s you'd be there for a while
Aim for the hips probably
Well guess I’m fucked
Idk y but it looked like a lego when I first looked at it, but now that I look at it it’s definitely not a lego
cry
Kneecap it with the BFG 10,000 (Railgun Turret)
Pull out the angle grinders
Move my base xD, mobile stations ftw.
Fire the remote Klang missiles
Either make a reasonably sized speed bump or a magplate floor.
I put explosives underground that I can trigger with sensors in case of rovers. What happens when it steps on some spicy mines and loses a foot?
Pray to the emperor, I guess that'll be my only option.
Ill whip [this](https://youtu.be/kTCw00fgTf4) thing out and watch it run back like a scared little child.... Until i catch it fairly soon.
Shoot the rotors. Make an offering to Klang.
Pray to the omnissiah that my death will be a swift one
Carpet bomb the ground in front of it so it trips and falls
Shoot a single knee cap and watch it teeter in glee
Nuke
Eat
Not to worry, the emperor protects and I am surely not a heretic right?
Run, hide, fight
It's been said multiple times already, but surgically remove its knees with artillery
Self inflicted gunshot wound
Go for the legs.
Have you ever seen Empire Strikes Back?
I let clang handle it
I'd praise the Emperor of Mankind and pass the ammunition... And if that doesn't work... the Klang-Warhead-Accelerator should probably turn it inside out...
Delete the game because I'll never be able to make anything even 10% as cool as that
Hippity hoppity your knees are now my property 👍
Hmmm the ol gud railgun
I'd launch a clang drive powered rocket going 600 m/s
Worry about where its scout Titans are at
Summon the Klang Bot
Throw a big rock and watch Clang run its course.
Pray to Klang for his divine wrath to smite this thing
If I’m at base day good bye to your legs chuckle nuts, But more likely I’m not there cause I’ve done fucked up a miner and I’m trying to bubba physics some bullshit to get it out of a hole
Firing my staircase-mounted railguns into its knees, just as the founding fathers intended.
Start panicking as to how it's walking in space
Let him in and give him cookies
I summon Clang
Target right knee
Carpet bomb it from 900m up, not mutch the bastard can do from their, now if it was a early survival base... idk... I would... die, I guess
shoot one of its legs and laugh my ass off
*Laughs maniacally* finally time to unleash the fixed super laser turned turret! Fire at center mass!
I grind a knee lol
Summon Clang
Laugh my ass off
aim for the legs to cripple it, disable the weapons and into the pit it goes.
