Hey, first time player. I was going to buy a new mech and there are several variants of each in the mechstore. I can't seem to be able to see the stats in the store like I am in other areas like the Mechbay. I've tried hovering the mouse over, left clicking, right clicking, etc.

Can someone let me know how I can see the mech's loadout at the store so I know I'm buying the right one.

Thanks!

The easiest way, counterintuitively, is not to go to the store. Instead, go to your Mechbay, then change the filter in the top left from "Owned" to "Purchasable". You'll get the same functionality you get with your owned 'Mechs.

And there's always Smurfy's. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/

It's third party, and theoretically what the UI is striving to do. But until it does, it's the best place to go for all of your mech planning needs.

If you got that Centurion for the challenge, I would highly recommend you get the other two (CN9-AL and CN9-D) as well.

The CN9-A(C) [functionally the same as the CN9-A but pre-upgraded and with an XP booster] is a very solid mech that will teach you a lot of important skills (and do it without being the "worst mech" out there either) such as torso-twisting and heat management.

The other 2 Centurion are both equally solid (the AL being an energy boater, and the D a fast mech) and the engine on the CN9-D is almost worth the price of the mech itself.

Rather than go into the store, go into the mech lab, and in the upper left corner, there is a spot you can change from "Owned" to "Purchasable". That will show you all mechs you can buy, lt you filter them, and show you the loadout if you hover over them (to some degree)
