French Urbies?

Never been driven and only abandoned once?

Not to spoil a jingoistic joke or anything, but the French military has a much more distinguished history than the U.S. military. Also, you might want to learn some local history; specifically who fought the British to secure your nation's birth.

Sorry, but I'm so tired of this lame "joke".

Two Words my friend.........

Maginot Line.

As Tom Clancy likes to say, Foreign Relations pretty much consist of one country screwing another, anyhow.......

I would most humbly and graciously accept this honor......

and I'm so out of sync since taking my 6 week vacation that I might as well be driving an Urbie out there.....

Yes lets waste time and resources on a piece of crap, just like they did with the flea instead of putting useful mechs in the game.

You don't need to worry about it. This would require PGI to make the game fun and entertaining.

True. but posts like this are for fun and simple entertainment. I second the Urbie-Bishop.

At least 30 ton pillboxes aren't.

Drop weight limited? Throw 4 Urbies on your base, and 4 quick assaults towards a position to surprise the enemy once the meatshield / urbanmechs are engaged.

Urbie-Bishop

with a sombrero,

cheap cigar,

and 2 bands

of AC/destruction

bullets in an X pattern

around the torsos.

Would that be extra armor?

Or would the ammo explosion

be glorious?

The cross of bullets the Urbie wears symbolizes its devotion to Mecha.

Every country was cooler before the 20th century. Governments acted like "men" then.
Since this game is in the future, it's safe to assume that the status quo is followed

Urbanmechs will lose to any jenner/raven combination anyone bothers to field. It's a worthless mech and you're fooling yourselves. Lights without speed are easily murdered targets.

But America keeps fighting poor dysfunctional third world militaries and joining major world conflicts a decade late after all sides have ground eachother down and are fighting on their last legs. We are the best.

You are missing the spirit of the Urbie Shum. We all know it is a PoS, even those craving it. But that is the reason folks want it so bad. Because it's so bad.

So, like Taco Bell. I can agree with that.
