Would be pretty rad to have 4 Mlas and 2 SRM 6 launchers blasting a stream of 2x2 SRM's at a time, both weapons having similar time on target and range...

ECM on it would create a whole new crapstorm that would be unprecedented for hero mechs. Its not gonna happen.

Lol yes, I can't imagine how much crap could get out in these forums, since this would also have the ability to bear dual SSRM2s, virtually replacing the Raven 3Ls.

THIS MECH WILL BE RAVEN FOOD SEEING THAT IT WILL NOT HAVE ECM, but i drive 2 of the reg ones already and love them, making extra c-bills will be great, im in and i can get rid of my 6 mls one to make room for it

[KOKO]

If they want to make some money, they should include ECM ... normal guys will buy the Raven anyway.

Is that an Urbie on the top of that thing?

it's either that or an astromech droid... "come on R2, get that heat sink back online or we're finished!"

I thought those were collision bumpers better yet explosive packs...that'd be cool.....

looks cutesy...I might get one if this means they fixed collisions......


Better yet..this might mean they implemented MASC

*squeals*

[Lord Psycho]

On second thought...i'd be more concerend..when ...they...release the RAVEN hero mech........

[Eric darkstar Marr]

dual streak launchers 4 lasers mix of small medium a 320 xl endo and ecm 2 tons of ammo, just a suspicion.

The reason to buy hero mechs is for the cbill bonus... Not to be the best mech on the block.

I tend to find the latter helps with the former!

[QuantumButler]

Oh boy, yet another mech no one wants to buy.

Come on PGI, if you had Hero Trenchbuckets or Atlases I'd maybe buy one, just give me something that I want, not last year's model, fit only for the scrap heap.

Ravens are not immune to direct fire weapons.

no ,but good luck with that, with a slow mech that turns slow, while they are running around you blasting you with the streaks, plus add on normaly where,s theres 1 raven there is most likley 2

They're not but it's fairly easy to spot the rare opponents that are capable of the accuracy/leading required to hit 150kph of mastered raven and simply run away.

They may as well be versus any other light without ECM

Hmm, looks only the founders mech paint job is worse. Does this thing actually have a special paint job?

It kinda reminds me of the cars and trucks I see around the automotive proving grounds here in the Detroit area. Sorta cobbled together from two different vehicles (with different paintjobs), deliberately obscured by wraps, and sprouting weird test equipment aerials. They are hideous on the road, yet stimulating to the curiosity...

Of course, but the "best mech on the block" being 'MC only' is a no-no

The Ilya is close to that.. but devs limited it with no 4th laser in the ballistics only arm, otherwise it would have been the best or near-to-be the best CTF. Flame is good for Dragon lovers too, but they limited its CT missile launcher to 4 tubes and it's not much different from what you can do with a regular 1C (I don't consider the ability an AC 20 as a plus, you have to go around too slow with one for my tastes).

They cannot be missiles, because then this cicada would be the only one to have missiles. And that's P2W.

edit: is there an announcement about this somewhere? All i can see is the ad on the homepage.

No more than the flame being p2w because it can mount an AC20.

We will see I think it'll be as much p2w as the Yen Lo Wang wasn't - now if it has ecm and missiles that maybe OP

ECM + Missiles could have been considered PTW, but as it will miss the ECM, therefore streaks will be nearly useless on it.. and so no opness, although dual srm4s (with two tubes per launcher I think srm6s there would be a waste) might be a tad dangerous vs bigger targets.

AC20 Kat to the rescue - I have popped loads of ravens with a twin burst of 20's love watching them fly apart! Ravens are a pain but far from unstoppable if you have the skills and right kit to hand.
