Between all the auto cannons and artillery that's going to be added to the game tomorrow, that's gonna be a lot of shells flying through the air...

...I for one, can't wait!

[Th0rsten]

I'm eager to try arty/airstrike in my commandos but I guess i won't use them too often. Just need waaaaaaaaaaay more cbills.

Will be nice to see the Jager but not sure if i want one.

[FrDrake]

I've just never been a fan of ballistics.

[Vermaxx]

What autocannons are coming? Oh, just the Jager. I don't think it's going to be supremely impressive. Just a Catapult with higher arms.

A matter of taste I guess but I really like my 4ac5 4x.

I'm just not sure if i need another heavy balistics plattform.

It's too bad that air/arty strikes and coolant flushes will be made useless by ECM.

All the ones filling the arms of the Jagermech

Let's start a real P2W fest. Let premades combine CBills to buy Air and Arty.

You need line of site, at last report, so how is ecm going to affect arty/airstrikes? Also, in what universe would ecm affect a coolant flush?

No new type of auto cannon, but a mech that is built around multiple ACs (as in, 4 per mech on 2 of the 3 variants). There is always a rush of people trying new mechs when released, so a ton of them will hit the field tomorrow.

A catapult with 2x as many ballistics or Ballistics AND LRMs.

Except for that, yeah, it's a Catapult with higher arms.

Seriously? Give your head a shake if that's what you think. I personally cant wait to load up my 4 slot Yen-Lo Wang up with artillery and upgraded artillery and call in some death after i scout out their position. Totally looking forward to running into an enemy formation as a Spider and calling strikes down right on my position and running out before I get popped. If you think ECM is that broken you need to take some serious time to reflect sitting in the corner of a room by yourself.

[Vermaxx]

The delivery timers are pretty generous and the cooldown is two seconds. So, either the warning will be hard to ignore, and most people will get out of the aoe...or the warning will be too vague and it will get buffed after the community grognards like they did with coolant flush.

NEW FROM PGI — THE ARTY-BRELLA!

This stylish ferro-fibrous awning is guaranteed to attempt to offer limited protection against incoming ballistic, Airstrike, Artillery and LRM fire.

For just MC350/Cbills/634,000 this fixture mounts atop any Mech. Protection is limited by weight class.

Light Mechs, 5 hits (some danger of gliding in heavy winds)

Medium, 10 hits

Heavy 15 hits

Assault 20 hits (useful for limited gliding off Alpine peaks with a running start)

PGI SPECIAL OFFER: For a measly MC 1000, you can also get the Arty-Brella ROLL, which unspools a fresh layer of undamaged FF armor to replace shot up material up to six times.

DISCLAIMER PGI accepts no liability for difficulty encountered maneuvering or firing while hold a honking big umbrella in front of your face...

Yo do realize that those arty and air strikes won't be death as all mechs can walk out of their danger zone with easy before the first shot/bomb hits right? You are severely over estimating at how strong these strike are.

Are the consumables coming tomorrow? I thought they were still being worked on. Where did it say they were in tomorrows patch?
