Four, missile, hardpoints.

It's so obvious I can't even look at it. Quad-SSRM. Which means this thing could be the nightmare of Lights but basically useless against anything over 50-ton (and of course when ammo runs out).

Unless, by my calculation, you wanna sacrifice some speed to have a pair of SRM4 or 6 in there. Which is of course still hard to aim.

Stock loadout, which appears to be 2xSRM4 2xLRM5, appears to be utterly useless.

I don't even know....(also where's my Hero Hunchback!)

Can't agree with you more helmstif.

rumor has it, that this thing will have a low engine cap (240-250 range) and no JJs in addition to being only missile... :S

If that is true... I don't even pilot Jenner and I hate this thing.

[Ewigan]

i theorycrafted a bit with a JR7-D, and that is what i came up with:

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...2224a29f79e72cd

3 tons are left blank because of 2 more streak launchers.
if all rumors are true about this thing, then everyone will run THIS build.

yay :S

[EarlGrey83]

Yay, so there is finally a LRM-Boat with +30% CB reward.

on the other hand, has potential.

and if it doesnt have jjs or a normal engine cap, it will steal the crown of worst hero from the GB

[Ewigan]

you didn't read the thread, did ya?

Rumor has it that the Engine will be 250 max, with no JJ.

so no XL300 for ya.

This.

Anything they make will be inferior to the 6 laser hard point Jenner F. Players who think streaks are overpowered on a light 'Mech against other light 'Mechs have never fought a Jenner F pilot who can leg you and/or CT core you before you breach any of his armor with the scatter aim of streaks. I have seen streak Kintaros get decimated by Jenner Fs melting legs off.

That is all.

What grim said.

I still prefer a Laser Commando over a Laser Jenner (i suck when my lightning fast mech doesn't have frigging ARMS), but otherwise i am all with ya there.

[Hex Pallett]

Just saying, Jenner F with hexa-SPL is full of awesome.

[CheeseThief]

An SRM20 Jenner?

I'd buy that!

Heck those missile arms alone mean I can jam 2x LRM15's into that little beasty with 3 ton of ammo and have it chugging along at 130kmph.

[Sandra McCrow]

E... where did you get this from???

[zagibu]

The info is just speculation from the leaked picture (it was briefly on frontpage yesterday). And some rumors about max engine cap and no JJ.

[DONTOR]

Ill be running 3 SSRM and 1 LRM5... If I even buy it that is.

BTW it does fit an XL300, but no JJs.

And that gives it potential. I probably will buy it, light junkie that I am.

So, 4 SSRM2s, Beagle, XL300, 10 DHS, 4 tons of ammo?

Not sure I want it, but that seems pretty functional.

I'd find that stock load out very fitting for me. It's like my Locust 3S... 2 LRM5s and 2 SRM2s...

Anyone ever think that the Jenner IIC can be made on this platform? That sounds interesting as an honor to my old MW2 days with my Jenner IIC (even if I didn't use default configurations).
