You could bring almost any other light mech that is in this game and still smoke this one in a dog fight. Its laughable and sad!

This & the Urby are both April Fools jokes, right?

[DocBach]

Give it ECM so it can be an AC/2 ECM sniper like the 2 ER LL Ravens

I hope so... Even if I think about the current load out I would have no clue how to balance it against the other lights. You could add ECM, or strip off 2 ballistics and add 2 energy.

I thought the Oxide sucked when I first saw it. No JJs, pfft. Now its one of my favorite mechs.

sorry....d.o.a.

Horrible Hero Raven like many other heroes. I had high hopes for a hero raven but I will not pay for this mech

[SgtMagor]

wasn't a a big fan of the Raven, but a machinegun mech with ECM would have been awesome (no not the mech )

[Malleus011]

I think it's intended to feast on the corpses of already badly damaged 'mechs ... at least that's the only excuse I can think of.

A single energy hard point for TAG would've been kind. And ECM would've made a lot of sense, but they know ECM is OP, won't fix it for some reason, and won't release a new 'mech that mounts it.

Has anyone noticed it has 2x20 tubes yet?

So weird, this Raven, the La Munchy, how did PGI make 2 Hero duds in a row? Will this be a trend now?

[Mordin Ashe]

Calm down people, April 1st, this must be joke. They can't be charging money for this terribly underpowered Mech. We must hope that tomorrow they will scrap this design and introduce Muninn with at least 3 ballistics and 3 missile stols. Why would they intentionaly release such poor configs? It doesn't make sence.

The mech was previewed on NGNG yesterday, which was slightly earlier than April fools day.

Either this is a big joke or PGI forgot how to make decent Mechs because lately their Hero mechs have been plain terrible. For the sanity of my mind I prefer the first interpretation :-)

[CMetz]

This hero is a bit underwhelming, yes. After playing it I don't think its quite as DOA as I originally thought, though. What could have made it great? I think a simple single energy hardpoint in the center torso, slung under the cockpit would have made it awesome.

Hmmm.

While I have frequently been underwhelmed by Hero's (La Malinche, Pretty Baby, Death's Knell, Oxide, Grid Iron, Jester and Boar's Head, I'm looknig at you!), I would say that to be a little less than fully true. Ember is hands down one of the best mechs in the game, hero or otherwise.

Gonna buy mine as soon as the server is live.

People still kinda forget that the Cicada-3M does have that ballistic slot while still having ECM.

Too bad, it's a terrible mech to fit just 1 MG on.

First match out the door with it



Xl200
1 jumpjet

x1 AC2 (x3tons of ammo)
x3 mguns (x1 ton of ammo)
x2 streak2 (x1 ton of ammo)

It is a very amusing brawler.

Basically a Ballistics Jenner D..
