Well, not to be outdone, I'll also post in the feedback thread before I can even try the mech.

I think it looks awesome. The lighting in particular and general texture setup definitely make it look like your artists are learning as they go - it looks fantastic.

I'm gonna pick one up, no doubt. I love my Jagermechs, and this will add a lot of great builds by moving a couple energy hardpoints into the arms - the torso mounted energy weapons were fine for backup weapons, but the loss of vertical firing arc really hindered them.

it´s a Jagermech, it will die like all other´s with the big side torso and XL Engine...

Speak for yourself. While I most likely will not use the stock loadout, I cannot wait to pick one up. Love the Jagermechs and all of my Catapults and Cataphracts. The A1 not so much though but it's all opinion.

The point of my post, kind was me speaking for myself

[Revorn]

A possible hot, verry hot Mech, in all Terms.



2AC2 +2 PPC or ERPPC = anything is fast Toast, Pilot and Enemy.

[James Montana]

Does it have an eject animation? I have to find some way to lower my worker's comp payments. Too many of my guys are getting seriously injured.

What can I tell? Another PPC boat. Much better to ***** PPCs in it then regular Jagers coz of energy slots in arms.

[ArmageddonKnight]

Less MC fluff and more game balance please.

Fix boating,heat system,hardpoint system.

[ego1607]

Errm... it looks to me like a cat K2 with balistic slots placed a bit higher.

[Ezekeel666]

Is the reduced torso twist rate by 10° compared to the -DD and -S intentional?

Any chance we can get a Catapult with a similar setup (after you have fixed its hitboxes)?

[ackstorm]

Dual AC/20 + 30% more cbills.

Perfectly timed to funnel pop-tarts strait to it.

Have a feeling we will forget all abotu pop-tarts soon enough.

[Butane9000]

I'm iffy on the paint job but It's basically the Rifleman everyones wanted.

I was going to hold off on buying MC because I have been crashing the last few days (malformed packet black screen crash). But it appears the issue is alleviated somewhat so I'll pick it up.

[Kiiyor]

Wow, looks awesome. A hero without reduced hardpoints?

You can't see, but i'm throwing money at my screen.

[Win Ott]

I'm not a huge fan of most of the "hero-class" mechs. But this one looks like a winner. It also helps that I just finished bringing my other Jagers to Elite

I just picked it up and took it out for a couple test spins. So far I am rather pleased with the loadout and haven't changed a thing. The beast is versatile at multiple distances, fast enough to stay in the battle-line, and can sustain a fairly rapid fire rate.

I think I shall enjoy this mech. Thanks, guys!

I play jaggers nearly exclusively. Personally, here is my take on the mech itself (since that is what you seem to adress):

- A well played jagger (using high hardpoints, minimizing torso esposure, high sustained damage at high ranges) is a monster.

- A (typically) badly played jagger (brawling without max armor, trying to duel faster opponents, exposing your torso constantly or bad placement) is a free kill.

Its funny, because I would rather not pilot anything else because of its raw potential, but I love seeing them on the other team because most of them don't seem to understand how to take advantage of its strenghts.

Several builds already done including a Riflejager and a Gauss-Brand and a Boom-Brand (AC20)

[Nikijih]

Yeah I can personally speak for what they call the Doom Boom (I call mine the Boomhammer)... it packs one hell of a whallop

[Oto Kanon]

Finally, it's here! Getting one soon!
