Now I realise, what it reminds me: a baby bushwacker XD. But still I think, thats looks cool.

[Gromkey Blackwind]

this is my favorite scout class mech, I wonder how usefull it will be in battle just hidding.... YAY!

[Rodney28021]

I like the Raven, glad it will be in the game. Hope to drive one soon.

[Wraith131313]

Like it overall... looks a little to close to the Cicada, but this will be one of the mechs I would love to pilot!

[Vectoron]

Cant wait to use one of these! Do narcs exist in 3049 battletech?

[Xendojo]

Yes, they do. If you look at the left side of the Raven (from the pilot perspective), you'll see the NARC launcher.

[Madcat75]

Lance composition :-

Atlas
2x Catapult
Raven

Atlas gets their attention and draws their fire, Raven pops up, fires NARC, then the Catapults "BRING THE RAIN" .

End result a smoking wreck where a Mech used to be .

Yeah. NARC beacons are definitely "credit to team" kill generators.

Right now, it's best used with the Catapult, but I can hope we'll see the true king of the long-range launcher, the Archer.

Is the Archer a Longbow variant or descendant? Seems i'm behind on lore here...

[Rhodes]

My favorite IS light mech! YES

[Madcat75]

Longbow LGB-12C 2x LRM-20's and 2xLRM-15'S, alpha strike = 70 missiles coming towards you, combine that with the NARC beacon and Beagle active probe or Artemis IV and you get a whole lot of hurt.

[RangerRob]

This will be the Scout mech in my mech hangar.

Very sharp looking!

[IceCold118]

I like the new look. Makes it look like an areodynamic tank. Nothing like scouting around the battlefield causing damage.

[Disaray]

Wow, that's really neat.

[Red Leader]

I think it stepped in some Steiner.

[Orion Pirate]

I need it.

[Vitus1978]

Well this one will be in my hanger for sure!!!!

[Malestrom]

Shame. I was hoping it'd look a little more like the raven from MW4. The nose cone just looks too pointed for my tastes. Much prefer the rounded, stockier look

Agreed. Also, the argument of it being done for performance is a flawed one, because they had no problems putting a beak on a Catapult from Operation Inception.
