Damn this mech looks cool AF... Might have to take an Overwatch hiatus and play MWO again.

My only issue is some variants have too many missile hardpoints, I want to turn this into a LPL skrimisher or MPL/SPL brawler.

How bout some map packs??? pgipls!


This thread for Huntsman..

On a side note, PGI did mention via twitter that they have increased their capacity for map development (I think, doubled?), so I believe we can expect to see more on this front :)

Is the Huntsman going to be better than the Stormcrow?

If so... I will buy it. I can't stand the Stormcrow and Viper's deformed baby hands.

On a dollars per ton basis, I suppose this makes the Kodiak look like a better value...

Wonderfull art, though never thought of a Huntsman as a chikenwalker. On the old TRO pictures it looked more humanoid. Can't wait for linebacker from Alex and Co.!

Can you PGI guys explain how the side-torso hitbox will be treated? If the whole shoulder (where LRM and AMS are) will be a side torso - the mech will fall apart very quickly.

Storm crow is one of top mechs in the game???? you dont play it because of how it looks in the mech lab????? your loss. i could see if maybe you could see it out of corner of screen and it creep ed you out but come on man.

But ... b-but ... Oxide OP ... or something?

There's like 6 variants there, plus a collector's bonus mech, it couldn't hurt to run one ... could it? :3

(Please don't throw that stripped COM-2D at me Terc!)

5/8/5 movement, about 23 tons of pod space, good hardpoint variety, weapon mounts look to be up fairly high...

Not a chassis I'm very familiar with, but it seems solid as a choice.

I think the true digitigrade legs are cool, too. Any chance we'll see the Mongoose in the near future? ;)

Lol wut? This mech is going to be like the Kodiak... ALL CT.

You can easily differentiate the ST's and it will be tiny.

In case you wanted to focus on just one type of hardpoint, this one is pretty flexible!

If my maths don't fail me, you can have:

7 Ballistics or
6 Missile or
9 Energy...

Drawback is that its kinda slow so you will prolly have to load it with weaps so that it tanks like a 60 tonner...

Alex can make even this ugly thing look awesome. Love those legs!
Plenty of space, rather slow, looks kinda short and narrow
CT possibly large, but STs tower over all. Could have odd hitboxes.
Overall, I like it.

What a great looking 'mech! I've been hoping for the Bushwhacker for some time now, but the Huntsman is a welcome, unexpected choice!
