Hello everyone, and welcome to another (in Vancouver, Rainy and cold) Thursday! Todays screenshot follows:

 

As you can see, a Jenner ran afoul of a Hunchback to less than optimal results. He made a good showing though, given the damage the Hunchback has taken.

 

Hope you guys enjoyed this, and we'll see you again next week!

So, wait , Jenners cant take an AC 20 round to the face?





Cheers.

That Hunchback is in a lot of danger. Almost no armour, internal damage, and 0 rounds remaining for his AC/20.

The Jenner may be going down, but a butterfly could take out the hunchback now

Nice explosion effects.

[VagGR]

this has to be the best screenshot so far

[ScrewCityChris]

Poor little Jenner. He never even got a chance to grow up.

Nice screenshot!

Judging by the scoreboard at the top, the Hunchback's team is winning in Kills, but the Jenner's team is about to Base-cap.

Good to see a satisfying death for once. Getting worried with these (logical) "you get killed you fall down" arguments....

[Gunmage]

Is it me or the Hunchie got his AC destroyed? If so, he's not gonna be of much use to his team...

Nice screenie! Looks like the SRM-4 ammo went up - I like the destruction effects.

Now, what's going on on those MFDs in the top of the cockpit? Thus far I've seen an enemy damage/info screen on the top right HUD display, but I can't make out what's on in these displays. Seems to be displaying quantities of something, but I can't make it out...

looks like operation heatsinks by hit location, I can see images of what i believe are heat sinks next to readouts such as "left arm 0/0"

When will we see some of the Urban maps?

[Wiley Coyote]

And boom goes the dynamite. This is how I'm going to look to others for my first few matches...

[Kaemon]

Until they get Jenner kicking...laces out, Finkle!

[Name140704]

I love it!!!!!

The displays in the lower portion of the Hunchback's cockpit are showing "AUTO DETECT: (NO SIGNAL) ". That guy has taken some serious punishment, and the monitors went out. LOVE IT.

Nothing was funner than coming out of a big scrum barely operational but still kicking.



EDIT: Did the Jenner's head blow off?!?!?

All I can say is Sweet !

Can't wait to try this out myself !

[Iron Horse]

Just think of Vancouver as a permanent cold map. At least you can use all your PPCs!

[chumppi]

Grrr, I wish I could blow up some Jenners!

A couple interesting tidbits on the 4G variant Hunchbacks from Sarna:

• HBK-4G Hunchback Shakir - The personal 'Mech of Sorenson’s Sabres member and future ISF director Shakir Jerrar was refitted to an advanced variation of the 4H in the lead-up to the War of 3039, carrying two prototype Medium Pulse Laser in place of the four standard Medium Lasers.^[16]

• HBK-4G Hunchback Hohiro - Assigned Jerrar's 'Mech after his retirement from the Sabres, when piloted by Hohiro Utsonomiya during the Jihad it was refitted with post-Clan Invasion technology. The addition of an Endo steel chassis and Ferro-Fibrous armor frees up weight to swap the standard AC/10 for an Ultra Autocannon/10, retaining the two ton ammo bay, carrying standard production grade Medium Pulse Lasers in the arms and a ER Small Laser in the head, adding a C3 Slave in the center torso. ^[17]

That Hunchback is standing still! No wonder it's taken a beating.
