This isn't a balance suggestion but instead a suggestion on how to make the hero hunchback a more interesting mech. I was thinking of, like with the heavy metal, when you get a kill instead of rock music it should instead play crowd cheer. If it is supposed to be a football themed mech why don't I feel like I am in a football game.

i just wish they would make it 1 ballistic, 2 missile slots.

What a great idea! Future hero Mechs could also have some sort of extra flair to offset how generally gimped they are. You'd be paying for that extra little cosmetic something that goes beyond a reskin.

The Hunchback-4N would not approve.

I'd rather it be two ballistic, one on each torso. Double hunch or bust!

Edit: Or four ballistic, two on each side...

I agree with the OP,that would be badarse to have a cheer crew when I score a kill.

I also would prefer the hunch iic twin torso ac slots, or if it had what bishop suggested.

off topic. I digress, I still enjoy my new can opener with a c-bill boost. its simply the most effective build. I enjoyed the ac5/srm6/3ml build, but it just lacked the "UMPH!" that's required in this game.

I wish they'd just made is a HBK-4N instead of this silly flightless Shadow Hawk thing.

I love Hunchbacks, but I feel no incentive at all to buy the Gridiron.

How about making the hunchback in general more unique and allowing it to be the best user of huge *** cannons in the medium class instead of letting other mechs with a Ballistics slot use them just as well and usually without the massive hunch to target.

Roles ... uniqueness between chassis ... anyone?

I don't get the demand for the hunchback IIc yeah it looks cool but it's got no armour on the side torsos one alpha would kill you outright, people think the urbie would suffer but the hunch IIc would be dead on arrival.

Why stop at sound effects? Go full lobotomy and dress it up with a helmet and shoulder pads.

With only minimal effort I'm sure we can have the game we all long for ... MechBarbieDressUp.

Well remember they did mention cosmetic changes to various components of mechs were in the works... don't like that Atlas head... then try this one, kinda thing...

Perhaps an Atlas with a Top Hat would be more to Sir's liking...?

[Butane9000]

My wish was to have it have an AC5 in each torso like the HBK-4SP does with SRM6's and 3 energy hard points (1 in each arm and 1 in the head). Then have it have 3 jump jets and we're good.

Yup and thats why they should drop one of the ballistic hardpoints in favor of a second missile in the left torso!

Or, they could change the "kill board" at the top of your HUD to look like a stadium scoreboard.
