Both mechs are 60 tons and thus have identical armor capacities. The difference is that a QD can actually protect its CT by twisting.

A DRG can as well by twisting it to point at the enemy, which has the happy side effect of the DRG being able to simultaneously return fire as well.

Hey, watch it.

Lu Sann are stationed on the CapCon - Davion border and never fought Marik.

You, on the other hand, would sell your own mother if it meant more C-Bills in the bank.

I think that PGI might have been able to mitigate a fair bit of backlash if they had shown that concept art before the announcement. Alex really can work wonders.

Its not my favorite mech, but then neither was the Orion, still this looks fun and I look forward to getting it. I'm not really sure how this mech is going to change the meta though, but I guess we will just have to see.

[Nebelfeuer]

Seriously? You take a well balanced mechdesign stock : lrm10+srm4+4 ML + JJ and introduce it to us in another boring energy-boat variant that will be made into another pinpoint alpha striker or poptarter? Seriously?

Hey, at least I can show my back to my friends without getting a knife in it.

Facing the enemy means you're gonna get cored real fast.

So first you claim it can't torso twist to save itself and now you say it can? Those can't both be true, LMFAO.

Whatever man, whatever, but thanks for the morning dose of MW:O hypocrisy, laughter is good medicine and who doesn't like to laugh at fools who claim such as you have here?

Could you please send me a link to the thread with those pictures? I saw it once but can't find it again.

I simply love the mech but the short story was....quite boring to say the least. Too onesided to make the Quickdraw look good.
Wouldn't it be interresting to make a story about a newly released mech where it fights against a number of enemies while just enduring the punishment through sheer toughness?
Or maybe just some very clever feints to outwit the enemy?

Yeah i know. The Quickdraw doesn't have much armor for it's size so it's ability to slug it out with multiple opponents is rather limited, but you get the picture i'm trying to paint here.

I have it bookmarked.

Art looks pretty cool. Still not buying one.

At least I should have a good stock of CBills for when the Orion finally does come out, since I'm not seeing much down the pipeline that interests me.

[Scrawny Cowboy]

The Dragon will now be a hanger queen, just like the Awesome when the Stalker was patched in : /

Great artwork as always though.

I said no such thing.

You made the claim that a Dragon can protect its CT by facing the enemy. I made the counterclaim that doing so would result in death by coring. Evidence:

Quickdraw is simply not one of those mechs you can make look cool in an actual fight scenario...

im talking about canon wise but, the dragons role is lost anyway until 1, light ballistics are added (clan tech) and 2, ramming is back in. (also the flame is still a good mech, not competitive material but its good)
