Vote if you want the Bushwacker in MWO!

[Barnum the Bear]

You'll have to wait a few years.

[solitaire]

Fun mech for sure

[x rehel]

wrong time line
maybe in a few year

Well, I voted no, but it's a conditional no. Ya see, that real cool picture you posted?

That's the cover of the 3058 TRO.

It's 3049 now. In 7-8 years, I totally want the 'Wacker to be in the game. Tough little mech. I am just totally against doing it too early, after all we open the door for the 'Wacker and Uziel today, how do we justify not allowing in any other chassis all helter skelter, and what purpose does it even serve to HAVE a timeline any more.

Plus, there is little the Bushwacker does that the Centurion doesn't already do, so I would favor including other more diverse designs that are time-line appropriate before dragging in Uziels and Bushwackers.

Mecks like the Hatchetman, Sentinel, Assassin or Enforcer, iconic mech's that have never been given their 15 minutes of fame (at least in the modern era of MW3 and beyond)

I voted no.. because it's only 3049..

but I also voted yes because when we get to the correct time, I would like it in.

I know you're new.. but please TRY to read the FAQs

[Shammus]

Bushwhacker is a Clan Mech correct?

[Tripod]

don't think so, pretty sure it's IS, just newer

Description

The Bushwacker was originally a failed BattleMech designed to have a smaller forward profile to make the 'Mech a harder target to hit. The Bushwacker's unique design caused problems with the engine shielding, the side-effects of which manifested themselves as various gremlins in the 'Mech's on board electronics on the prototypes fielded during the Clan Invasion. The 'Mech was redesigned after schematics for an OmniMech known as the Vulture were captured during a raid into Clan territory. Information gleaned from the schematics was used to overcome the aforementioned engine shielding problems. Finding the schematics had given the Bushwacker a second lease on life.

What this basically means is the bushwacker is around at the time, but only in prototype form and bugged. I do think the devs could get away with it when they introduce it with the clan invasion

General service 3058 or there abouts.

[Grimskar]

bushwacker is based on clan tech produced by the IS

[Riin Suul]

I voted for ALL the answers because DOWN WITH BAD POLLS!!!
seriously, if your poll has mutually exclusive answers, don't allow multiple selection

[Stickjock]

Sarna.net shows' "Introduced: 3053"... so either way, it's still not going to be in game for a few years...

i agree

It's so frickin' versatile! I know maybe you vets avoided the MW4 series, but this thing really got some good hardpoints to it.

edit: Here's the rundown.

1x3 and 1x2 ballistic
1x3 and 1x2 missile
1x2 energy

Now obviously this has to be expanded to fit the REAL rules, but if the proportions are the same, this thing has armor and free weight to play just about every role there is besides straight assault. Plus I love it.

*sighs* well, i just got comfortable with the thought that i will probably never drive that one (or not too soon) ... and now you come up with that poll...thanks for reminding me ...

[Muffalopadus]

I feel like this much as well. I'm not so much a fan of canon, but I do think at least they can use inserting them over time to help develop the storyline.
