Return the CN9-AH to the roster. I still have my YLW, you still have your (my) money and I'd still have bought the YLW anyways. Thanks.

[Tennex]

who said they would redisign it/

but yes the CN9-AH was removed for no reason at all

Why would they redesign the YLW??

Two lasers, two ballistics.

It can't really do anything.

[CDLord HHGD]

There was a thread below asking for a redesign so I thought I'd post my opinion .

Tell that to the many successful pilots that still use a YLW.

I mean, I personally think it is terrible, but that is just an opinion and not easily proven.

PGI has the data mining to know if the YLW performs significantly worse than other Centurions / mediums.

So? It is what it is. I have one and like it.

It's supposed to have a lot more things that will never be in the game... So make up for it, or keep it like the posterboy of gimped mechs.

I don't care. I didn't buy it, because it's gimped. Maybe I would have if it wasn't.

[Tennex]

CN9-AH never forget.

[CDLord HHGD]

Yeah, this isn't an argument about how good or lame the YLW is, but instead of the suggestions to redesign it, I'm offering up the idea to bring back the model it replaced. More options = happier players.

[Josef Nader]

Strange, the Wang is my favorite medium largely because having an entire half of the mech you can lose and not suffer any loss to combat effectiveness is awesome and it's extraordinarily hard to put down.

I do agree that the AH needs to come back. It's removal was pointless and infuriating.

[shabowie]

Add melee to the game and make YLW scary in melee with the titanium nails on its shield hand and arm.

[Tarman]

AH should come back.

[EyeOne]

The very first appearance of YLW is exactly as it is in MWO. It did not have a hatchet or a claw the first time Justin used it on Solaris. It's not gimped. As I said, it simply is what it is.

If you hate it, Bravo! You're a cool dude, man bro.
If you own one, Bravo! Use it well.

the Wang is horrid. Needs an additional hardpoint or 2 to be competitive.

Can it be used well, sure. But against a good opponent, you are going to lose everytime, because once i blow off your arm, you dont even have the firepower of a light mech.

[Tincan Nightmare]

I don't think they will bring back the AH because then you can get a Cent that mounts an AC/20 and streaks or SRM6's versus a hero that mounts an AC/20 and 2 med. lasers. They don't want to hurt those Wang sales (and I love typing that for some reason ).

[Sierra19]

The YLW is an assassin mech. You sneak in while the enemy is distracted, and give them a couple of AC20 rounds to the head/back, then move off into cover. Very Simple, actually.

Enjoy being a wasted slot on the team roster then. I'll Keep dropping the hammer with my LRM 15, SRM 6, 4 Med laser Hunchback doing 92 KPH. Able to harrass on my approach, break away and pound a mech in the rear, and break away again.

[General Taskeen]

The YLW was meant to carry a melee weapon. If melee ever gets added, it would be fine as it is, and rend a many Mechs with a Claw or Hatchet.

You mean like the vastly superior 9-A Centurion?


I figure in some far away future they might finally add melee attacks, and the YLW will get its hatchet and then it will be moderately less terrible.
