Really? Huh?

Edit: You might well be the first poster in these pages to complain because PGI delivered content ahead of schedule. Well played, sir.

Nah, this will be one of the good Wave II mechs.

That's nearly a guarantee.

You should be happy. This means heavy queue will be 60%+, and you'll get instant drops in your new hero mech.

People will find a reason to make it DOA.

It has a strong chance but all I got to say three times is....hitboxes, hitboxes, hitboxes.

Concept art looks good though so if the in game model stays true to it, it might actually have decent hit boxes. Also it is humanoid so it might actually be able to torso twist defensively (though it does have a significant CT chest protrusion which could be an issue). ECM unfortunately isn't going to be all that much of a help with BAP being 360m right now but it will still be worthwhile to mount it, especially since at most you lose a single Missile hardpoint by taking the ECM torso and at best game 3 energy hardpoints.

All in all though, I think agree I with you that it should be the best of the Clan Wave 2 mechs though it will take alot to dethrone the Timber Wolf and I don't think, even with ECM, that the Hellbringer will be able to do it.

May not dethrone the Timber... But I'll be happy to see some diversity on the battlefield to the detriment of Whales and Timbers!

Well, they did change ECM to 240m with this patch. We'll see I suppose.

[LT. HARDCASE]

Won't dethrone the Timber, but it will utterly obsolete the Summoner.

[August55]

Awesome. I just converted 200k gxp so I can now insta level a new mech!

[SgtMagor]

this is as close as we get to a Whammy, I will be vewy happy with my Hellbringers

[Alistair Winter]

What?

Don't toy with my emotions, guy. When will this happen?

[kilgor]

When will the patch take effect? I haven't seen anything yet

[MarineTech]

YES!!!!

As noted above, this is as close as we're likely to get to my beloved Warhammer.
