Rocket launchers have a fast attack speed. Therefore, dual-mounted rocket launchers are usually a 'one-trick pony'.

To maintain sustained and consistent firepower, long-range artillery typically mounts a recoilless rifle or howitzer alongside a rocket launcher.

"Mounting two rocket launchers simultaneously is a common configuration in high-level competitions, but it's quite rare in low-level exhibition matches like this."

"That's right. In high-level competitions, there are no restrictions on long-range artillery mechs. Compared to low-level competitions, they have an additional long-range attack method. This makes their weapon configurations more flexible and their tactics more diverse."

"However, to make the competition more entertaining, we've banned handheld long-range artillery in this match..."

The two commentators are very professional, taking turns to introduce some of the rules of the competition and build tension, stirring up the audience's emotions.

Handheld long-range artillery refers to weapons like large sniper grenade launchers, basically mech-sized rifles. However, due to their low cost-effectiveness and poor adaptability, humans have never actually produced them, despite mastering the technology.

But in the 'Ace Mech Pilot' game, things that require massive resources to produce in the real world are just data that programmers can create with a few keystrokes.

Therefore, various gold coin guns appear in the game.

However, adding a long-range artillery system, especially a handheld one that requires the pilot to coordinate with AI for aiming, significantly increases the demands on the pilot's skills—it's not as simple as 2+1.

Therefore, operating handheld long-range artillery requires a high skill threshold. But once mastered, combined with two shoulder-mounted weapons, the increase in combat power is far beyond what 2+1 can describe.

It can be said that a three-long-range artillery weapon setup would crush a two-long-range artillery setup.

As a result, in low-level competitions, close-combat mechs, already suppressed by long-range artillery mechs and barely seen, would have even less chance of survival.

Therefore, in some competitions, especially exhibition matches, handheld long-range artillery is prohibited to enhance the audience's viewing experience.

"Damn it, there's a traitor among us. Just let me find out who it is!"

The speaker is Fan Jiaming, another main player of the Starry Sky Esports Team. He is about the same height as Luo Rui, but much broader, looking very robust.

He represented the team in the first match today and scored a point. He originally thought that this time, he would win the game smoothly as usual.

Who knew that Feng Weiwei lost a point. Just when he thought the team would be defeated today, Uncle Niu actually brought in Tian Junli, the tough guy who held up that day, as a reinforcement.

Don't underestimate Fan Jiaming just because he is tall and fat. He is actually very competitive. But just when he was rekindling his hopes, the tough guy said that he only knew Warrior 7, pouring cold water on him again.

Just when he was feeling hopeless, the tough guy said he wanted to practice a new mech. Fan Jiaming didn't believe that anyone would cram at the last minute, so he thought it was just an excuse. In fact, the tough guy had already mastered the use of multiple mechs.

Just when he was pinning his hopes on him again, there was actually a traitor among them who leaked such important information. This rollercoaster completely messed up his mentality, causing him to be unusually angry.

However, Uncle Niu's mentality has calmed down. He leaned back, the curved protrusions at the bottom of the wicker chair supporting his waist, making him hum comfortably. "Forget it, it's useless to say anything now. Life and death are destined, wealth is determined by heaven, it all depends on Brother Luo."

Luo Rui, who was in the game pod, couldn't hear the outside sounds, let alone know that he was being targeted. However, he wasn't without advantages. He knew that the opponent was a player who was good at long-range artillery mechs, so the weapons they could configure were limited. Practicing Swift Rainbow was also specifically to counter him.

From this point of view, knowing each other's information is considered fair.

"Oh, our Yue Xiao player actually chose Swift Rainbow!" Commentator Zhou Zhou exclaimed suddenly, making a playful gesture with her rather cute makeup. The cameraman immediately aimed the lens at her.

Along with her words, there was also a commotion in the audience.

"Haha, just now we were wondering why Player Guoke chose a dual rocket launcher mount. Now the answer is out! Because his opponent chose Swift Rainbow!"

Unlike the female commentator's娇俏可爱 (嬌俏可愛 -嬌俏 可爱), Daitou Goose's emotions seemed to be ignited in an instant. His voice was high-pitched. Tired of seeing long-range artillery duels, he was surprised and delighted by the appearance of Swift Rainbow.

"Swift Rainbow has a very low appearance rate in our past competitions. Daitou Goose, as a former professional player, what is your evaluation of the Swift Rainbow mech?"

The audience in the shopping mall is non-targeted, and their composition is complex. There are extremely professional hardcore players, and of course, there are also newbies who don't know anything and just watch the excitement.

These people don't know why the commentators and some of the audience reacted so strongly when they heard Swift Rainbow. As a professional commentator, Zhou Zhou knew what she and her partner should do, so she deliberately guided the topic.

"Hehe, Zhou Zhou, you also know that I used to be a long-range artillery player, and I don't know much about Swift Rainbow. I only know how to use it to some extent." Daitou Goose first谦虚 (謙虛) a little, and then said: "Let me talk about my personal opinion. Swift Rainbow is a very extreme mech. It's not difficult to get started. With a little practice, relying on 'Flash', a more flexible killing move than 'One-Trick Pony', it's enough to completely crush most newbies."

"But I want to say that easy to get started does not mean it's easy to operate. On the contrary, it is extremely difficult to master Swift Rainbow. The combined use of the 16 small and large thrusters around it places extremely high hard requirements on hand speed and reaction ability. How high is this hard requirement? It can be said that many professional players can't reach it, and I used to be one of them." Daitou Goose talked eloquently, not minding revealing his dark history.

"Everyone also knows that what matches the perverted operation and requirements is combat power. Swift Rainbow, operated by ordinary players, will be easily countered by long-range artillery because its fragile armor can't even withstand the掃射 (sǎoshè - strafing) of a 12.7mm machine gun, let alone rocket missiles. But in the hands of some professional players, the exaggeration of Swift Rainbow's combat power can be described as the nemesis of all long-range artillery."

"We just saw that Player Yue Xiao is very young. I don't know why he chose such a mech. But in any case, we should admire his courage and his胆量 (dǎnliàng - guts) for using such a mech to complete his debut."

"Let's all look forward to his next performance!"
