Kit Fox D for 2380 MC
Kit Fox Prime for 2405 MC
Kit Fox S for 2340 MC

If you haven't bought through the clan pack, now you can get the Kawaii Fox with MC.

Looks like the CBill price might be a slight bit higher than Sarna like that of the IS mechs in MWO.

Hmm might pick up a S just to run an "unarmed observer"...

Kit Fox is an amazingly fun mech.

Whether you want to jump now or hold out for the C-Bill release is another matter entirely - but sooner or later I recommend you try this mech!

What do you typically run? I haven't found a build I quite like yet for this mech.

[Gyrok]

2xCERLL + CSSRM4 + 2xMGs + ECM + 2xJJs is my fave build by far.

ECM, ECM EVERYWHERE!

And AMS!

BTW, if you are running a Kit Fox and you don't have 3x AMS that is a hanging offense.

Max armor, 4 JJs, ECM, 2×ERLL, Narc w 1.5t ammo works ok. It's a real nuisance if you just hang around your team to stealth cloak them and stab something with Narc every now and then.

That build uses the C right arm, S left arm, S legs. Might be able to switch the S legs for the S torsos instead for less turning rate nerf.

Questions about the MC purchasing Kitfox owners, 1) is the primes Tertiary locked, 2) if you buy the example Prime, you still get access to the others Omnis via cbill minus the Body you dont own?

>15 dollar kit foxes.

[Ph30nix]

id really gotta advise against spending MC on the kitfox or puma (thats the other light right)

they are currently just not that good to bother spending MC on them wait until Cbills if u really want to play one.

dont get me wrong they can be useful and fun but they are gimped at any possible role they might fill when compared to other choices.

I don't run the 3x ams on the Kit Fox, the ECM negates missle locks and the Clan Probe gives the ECM a 25% range boost which can make the ams less effective out to the ams max range not counting the sensor range modual or TCs. I did run the 3x ams for a few games but hardly used any ammo on lrms- in fact the 3x ams shot down more srms than lrms.

[MonkeyCheese]

So its bout 79 to 80 mc per ton. Not too bad considering they are omni and hero mechs are 75mc per ton.

Still haven't speed tweaked my 3 but they are fun.

depends on you role. if you are running as a scout and sniper then you probably dont need the ams. if you are running as a support mech for the pack, ams is good to have.

[Malcolm Vordermark]

Good, that means only a month until it is available for c-bills.

Nvm, someone posted the correct C-Bill amounts in another thread.

Hero mechs have 30% CBill bonus, Kit Fox has no bonus at all. And they're still saying it's a sale...

what im trying to say is if you have a teamate outside the range of the ecm then he is also going to be outside the range of the ams. although you can wait for one of your teamates that is not in ecm cover to get locked onto and chase the missles. I might be the first to say it but ecm and ams don't stack well together. that 1.5 to 2 or more tons for the 3x ams and ammo can be used on a targeting computer that will further increase the range of the ecm. I run games with just the ecm and have no problems covering my team from missle locks.

No we need people to play them and then we might end the CLAN MECHS are VERY VERY OP type threads.
