While I love assault and heavy mechs....it is not time for more. We need more mediums to flesh out how mediums are the WORKHORSES of all missions. Another high priced, high maintenance, high power assault is not needed at this time. Had R+R still been viable, this would be the case. Again. I love the big guys but they need to be less common.

can you not imagine what the victor will be able to mount on top of the dual gauss with the extra tonnage?

maybe a few PPCs maybe more armor, more speed, etc etc.

Owell atleast poptarding seems to have subsided lately

Cool looking mech. We must have moooooore !

Good spot, at first i would say 1st Davion Guards but the stripe is at the center, the Heavy Davion Guards is at the left position. Good call dear Sir!

Yeah... it threw me off at first (until I found Hayden's post), because the redesigned insignia is so radically different from the original rendition (which is what most listings and galleries use).

Original DHG emblem:

OK so: traditionally Fed Suns mechs: Blackjack, Centurion, Jagermech, Victor. Draconis Combine: Jenner, Dragon, Catapult K2. Free Worlds League: Trebuchet, Awesome (Missile Carrying Variants at least), Capellan Confederation: Raven, Cataphract. (Though Fed Suns use these a lot also). Lyran Commonwealth: Commando.
It appears the Lyrans lost in the great iconic mech race. While the Commando is certainly a capable mech for it's size, I'm a bit sad that the Lyrans didn't get one of their true loves, an Iconic Lyran Assault mech. Victor will probably be capable, but it's either just a big Cataphract, or a small Highlander in terms of usage. The FedSuns won the Icon race.
Not a bad choice, not an exciting choice I like the look however. I'm expecting that they might put 6 jets capability in at least one of the variants. It's a very mobile assault mech across all variants AFAIK. I believe every single variant ever made has dakka in the right arm as the main weapon. Probably pretty fun ride, especially for Centurion pilots that want mobility but some more oomph.

Catapults are Capellan except for the K model.

i don't know if i will use this mech much, i am glad it's in though, every time they add a mech weather i plan to pilot it or not i view it as a good thing. more variety of mechs in the game the better imo

[Monsoon]

Nice!

I guessed Banshee, but the Victor will be a nice addition, though we'll still need 95ton option.

Can you do a triple Gauss build for Victor?

I probably wouldn't have ever used the Banshee either, but the more Mechs the merrier! In fact, I'm more likely to pick up a Victor than I would have a Banshee.

I'm not an assault kind of guy, but holy hell. She's beautiful.

Looks great. I'm looking forward to having one in my inventory.

Great and all we're getting a new mech but this one isn't really any different from the Orion, Highlander, or Atlas. While I'm sure the Victor fans are super thrilled and that's cool, I was rather hoping the next mech wouldn't be yet another Ballistic RA Missile LT. I mean really PGI - you can't claim to be adding mechs that are plugging gaps in the line-up if they're all pretty much the same.

Here's hoping for something to get announced that's actually NEW, since while the Vic' itself may be new to MW:O, the role it'll play is already over-populated... well. Victor's just another example of why I keep my expectations of PGI very low, sadly they don't often clear that. Maybe someday... maybe.

[John MatriX82]

Hmm a faster than an awesome mech that has ballistics, energies and some missile? With jjs? I don't know how those side torsoes will be, but this thing will totally overshadow the Orion and especially the Awesome. Imho of course

You people use to judge the Victor by its main variant (which yes, it is somewhat between the Orion and the Highlander).

Look at the other variants: (I will post this one more time)

If triple Gauss or AC/60 are not able to impress you, I don't know what WTF you want.

EDIT: updated the table for a bigger one. (and removed one module for each dual/triple Gauss, for balance)
