I am grabbing the Dakka Dakka one with ballistic slots in each arm.

[Bagheera]

All Dakka, All The Time.

I'll probably give that one a whirl - especially if they go all "Hunchie/Dragon/Centurion" with it and stick multiple ballistic slots in each arm.

[Icebound]

Whichever one gives the most plusses.

4X looks fun, balistic in each arm. Double arm mounted guass/ac20/lb10x sounds scary.
The 3D and 2X models too if i'm gonna elite the thing.
3D for a brawler. 2X for balance bulid.


On a side note: any idea when the Jaegarmech or the Blackjack will launch? sadly they're probably going to be as close to the Rifleman as I can get...

[Mechwarrior413183]

I don't play much so probably won't be able to afford one right off but I can only guess the 3D atm, it all depends on what I can do with the hardpoints.

[Aware]

I think the obvious answer is all of them.

Is there anything from PGI that confirms that they're keeping the 4X's hardpoints the same? After viewing the little preview on the site (it was linked in a past post), I'm suspicious that the 4X's ballistic hardpoints will be moved to RA/RT. Maybe our proto-jaegarmechs ideas are gone.

There's no real reason to change the hardpoints.

[God of War]

3D! And when i am done with the makeover it will be a Falconer!

[GH0ST1E]

If the 2x Jumped, yes, otherwise probably not.

Someone actually datamined the hardpoint layout directly from the game and had posted it in some other threads. Not sure where that was off hand though.

[GrabbleRus]

None. Waiting for Highlander while rolling on a gausscat.

[JudgeDeathCZ]

none...ill w8 for Stalker

i hope not, i'm using the MWO wiki as my source of information on this chassis.

[Vosgedzam]

So, which chassis do you guys think I can mount dual AC/20s on? CTF-3D or CTF-4X?

[Redoxin]

I am thinking about getting the 4X with 4 AC5.
Anyone said dakka dakka?

[One Medic Army]

4x for the dakka dakka dakka dakka
3D for the jumpjets and dakka dakka
2x for the dakka and missile arm.

The game just needs more dakka.

The Right Arm of the CTF-3D and both of the CTF-4X's arms have Lower Arm Actuators (in addition to the Shoulder Actuators and Upper Arm Actuators), leaving only nine (9) open criticals in each arm.
The AC/20 requires 10 critical spaces.

Unless the BT rules for splitting weapons across locations (applicable to only AC/20, LB 20-X, UAC/20, and the Heavy Gauss Rifle) are implemented by the Devs (e.g. 8 criticals in the RA, 2 criticals in the RT), none of the Cataphract variants would be able to support dual AC/20s.

[80Bit]

4X with quad AC5. Should be fun.

[Aesaar]

4X: Quad AC2, stronger engine. Maybe an LL if I can fit it. If it doesn't have 4 ballistic points, I'll pick up a 3D instead. I think it will, though.

For the others, 1X and 3D. Not sure what I'll do with them, though.
