XL 400, max armor, and every weapon you can put on the Pretty baby.

You forgot the part the other variants have ballistics.

I think I would be hard pressed to name a mech that had a severe impact within the BT lore more often than the Urbie. Though being a Cappie I will admit to being bias to it, the specialized nature of it's stock variants suits Liao combat doctrines quite well (Which favors ambushes, hit and run, and knife fighting more than open field combat.)

Also, don't underestimate the Charger. It is one of the most diverse chassis in existence with what it's variants mount.

Both the Urbie and Charger are very serious mechs.

Besides, look at how amazing our Urbanmech concept art is . . . then think of how awesome Alex will be able to make the Charger look. That thing would be a beast.

I do really look forward to having an Urbanmech and I hope that it comes out reasonably soon. However, that being said, I won't be the slightest bit surprised if it truly is released on the 1st of April 2015. It'll be an interesting little anniversary gift from the initial tease/joke post, if that's the way they do it.

I have idea what you are trying to say. Lets focus on mechs with better technology (Year 3050 and beyond) and not one's that are under powered like the urbie...

P.S. I do love the URBIE!

in what way is an Urbie underpowered? Carrying three tons of ammo is enough for any weapon for CW or regular matches. It's roughly 450 damage done by that one weapon. I get that I'm a bad, but I'm happy enough if my pug mates can manage 450 damage in a match in a light.

How slow it is is up to the player.

But underpowered vs a locust? How do you figure? It's got 10 tons more to play with, vastly more armor.

1 LBX 10 + 1 Medium laser with an XL 120 and good heat eff.

This has 4 tons of ammo leaving 60 shots which gives the possibility off 600 damage just by the LBX 10 alone. (keep in mind 1 of the 3 variants that would come into the game would have an LBX 10 stock, meaning that may have an LBX 10 quirk)

If you think 4 tons of ammo is to little remove the medium laser for 1 more. Who needs it when you have T5 quirks for an LBX 10 on a mech running .71 kph?


Also the build does work, it's just the spider placeholder sucks by taking 4 slots by actuators the urbie doesn't have. So the FF and Endo steel will leave just enough slots for the LBX 10 while having also in the build enough tonnage for it.


http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b6c6b487b2e18cb

Simular build but replaces the FF armour, LBX 10, medium laser, for 1 ER PPC and 1 Large pulse laser. because who needs ammo?

Edit: Also 2 Normal PPC's could work very well as well!

I agree.

But I think the charger doesn't hold the title of most diverse... I am slightly biased to feel like saying the Raven is...

(LRM boat.
Anti Infantry
Spotter
Recon
Sniper
Skirmisher
Striker
EW platform

Just to name a few they hold threw the variants...).


I am also thinking maybe the Catapult.

We have one with 2 PPC's.
We got another with 6 SRM 6's.
Another with 2 LRm 15's while another with 2 LRM 20's.
Another with MRM's.
2 LBX 2's.
Arrow artilleries.
rockets.

you name it! There is a lot of load outs here and some with jumpejts and some without.

i've been doing just fine with spider-urbie, std 100, SL and ac10 with 2.5 tons of ammo. sure there's the match where i do under 50 dmg and die fast, but that can happen in any mech. best match so far have been 2 kills, 4 assists and 340ish dmg. gotten kill shots on king crabs, most damage done kill credit on dire whales, been killed by locusts, and survived to the end in many matches. if you want to run it stock it's not going to do too much in anything- but who runs things stock these days?

will it be the unstoppable force of doom in CW? probably not. will it do just fine when you just want to get a quick drop or two in without wanting to wait for the CW match to fill up 10-15 minutes later? sure.

For those who are scared of links:

Absolutely badass story. The way things happen is just awesome, sometimes.

I'd be laughing so hard in a CW match if we were able to have some raven spotting for a lance+ of Urbanmech-AIV's (if the Arrow is ever added for Mechs) and start wiping out the first wave of Clanners before they even get to touch a gate generator.

[Alex Morgaine]

also i got insider information for all the people who hate the idea of urbies being in the game. if you complain on the forums, they'll log the info... and replace all your mechs with urbies!
or... you know just not buy the @!#$%^& mech cause you dont like it and move on. i can make a hollander with a raven or fire starter, yet people dont B&M over a light with a gauss-oh wait yes they do, yeesh.
also random photo from google search "sarna hollander"

[oh its ... 4plebs.com , huh. odd name for a site]
wtf. eh, I've seen worse. also, urban nuke launcher is best nuke launcher!

[wanderer]

And of course, the infamous "Urbie of Blake" had pictures.

[Nightshade24]

I would play and buy the Hollander if it ever comes out...

Thank you so much for that. I am happy to find it.

Likewise. There are many mechs I will buy and play if they come out. Although the Firestarter will ALWAYS be my baby, and my favorite chassis in the game (as it is in Tabletop), there are plenty of times when I just want to play something different. The Urbanmech is certainly another mech I would purchase and play. Is it my favorite? No. Will it still be fun? Hell yes!

Variety is the spice of life, and the Urbanmech is my Ghost Pepper. It may look small and innocent, but if you're not careful it'll rip you a new arse.

[Mahershalalhashbaz]

Yes. WoB do have Urbies. Just a couple of Level IIs passing through.

Im sorry, could someone please remind me again, why people want probably the most shetiest mech in whole BT universe in MWO game? I mean...

Tonnage: 30 tons
Top Speed: 32.4 km/h

Prime armament:

• 1x Autocannon/10
  
• 1x Small Laser

Im sorry but that is just so bad...

Do you know there is a tool in the game called mechlab, don't you?

It makes no difference what the mech is stock, but what you can do with it after the mechlab.
So, what matters is:

• maximum engine; (we know it won't be great but will certainly have a larger limit, like the Panther)
  
• hitboxes;
  
• (inflated) hardpoints;
  
• quirks, specially quirks. If they give something like +40% fire rate for ballistics, Urbanmech will be dangerous.
