However, these mechs operate in very different capacities. The T-Wolf is a great striker, and brawler, with good mobility, and a powerful arsenal of weapons to use.
The Direwolf on the other hand is more of a juggernaut and suppression mech. It's the least mobile mech in the game, short of an Atlas without an engine in it.
However, in return for being the slowest, easiest mech to hit and flank, it brings a LOT of pain. You can stuff it full of guns, till the enemy team's lungs explode. The arms on all but one model can't move sideways, and it can have a max of 2 missile hardpoints. While the T-Wolf can go up to 4.

Timberwolf is low risk, high reward since they are agile, heavily armed, and hard to kill

to be honest the timber wolf is much more fun and in some cases more deadly since it can move very fast actually avoid some of the incoming damage by twisting/backing away. After piloting both i feel like i do more damage and stay alive longer in the timber wolf. the only instances where a DW would beat a Twolf is if both of them met face to face in cave or if they decided to stand completely still 1000m from each other and try to kill each other with gauss rifles and PPCS.
in short buy the timber wolf and grind out cbills for the dire

The Dire Wolf is slow and sluggish, it makes most of the trial assaults feel fast and maneuverable but mounts more weapons than any other Mech currently in the game (with about twice the available tonnage the Timber Wolf has for weapons, but cannot mount many missiles).

It is THE Clan mech to date, many claim.
The D-Whale is the tale of 2 Star Wars. You are the Death Star, you can one shot planets. But it only takes 1-2 lights to kill you.
I would say get the T-Wolf, its likely more forgiving in pilot error, bad situations(pug drops), and more flexible.
D-Whale if you are a seasoned Atlas/Stalker pilot.

Do you plan to buy both chassis eventually? How many C-bills do you have? Dire Wolf will be available for C-bills sooner, letting you buy the DW off the shelf and get the TW for cash up front.
Do you have a preference for which chassis you want/need the C-bill boost (the a la carte/clan pack gives you the Prime as a Prime (Invasion) variant with a c-bill boost and special geometry)

And man does it feel good to obliterate enemy mechs that make the mistake of wandering into your crosshairs. Its fun to watch them flee from your punishment! Watch the enemy hastily abandon positions when the see direwolves incoming. Its terrifying. Nothing stands for long 1vs1 with a DW. Not even an Atlas. No matter what weapons you put in it, a DWolf is a scary, scary mech in the hands of a capable pilot.
Still though. I have a healthy respect for Timber Wolves. They´re fast, elegant, tough and pack a hard punch. I hate facing them. Their pilots tend to be resourceful and highly capable. Or at least, I´ve seen noob DWolf pilots aplenty but very few in a Twolf.
Since you´re highly missile oriented you probably want a TWolf. I like Energy and AC´s so its the DW for me, hands down. Whatever you choose though, you´ll have lots of fun. Guaranteed.
