Well, seeing as the MadDog has them mounted on either side, it can't skimp on armour safely and just shield one side. Loki can dual gauss with 50 rounds and 7.5 tons of armour, while the MadDog would have to sacrifice either one gauss rifle, or just run two tons of ammo... Neither are very good at it, but I guess it can be done.

Well, I remember that stock build in MW2.. it wasn't very good either.

I could see some build with like the Vulture-Prime's arm plus that variant's other arm and you could do something crazy with it in that sense. Vulture brawler? Why not at this rate...

Edit:
Maddog-A would like to say "hello world" with all those SRMs (and ghost heat affected to boot).

SRM36+A 6 tons of ammo and 4 ERMLs would be a sufficient brawler. Now, what type of hitboxes will really dictate this. Otherwise, 6 LRM10s+A+TAG+whatever lasers fit?

Those 6 missile slots will be pretty useful. 5E+6M gives a fair bit of options; big guns or small guns, with 26 tons to play around with.

Anyone curious about what the "Faction-Specific Warhorns" are going to sounds like?

I've got the faction intros from Mech2:31st going through my head, but I am pretty sure it will not be that wolf howl or falcon cry.

Is there any way those of us who orgionally purchased Al La Carte to upgrade so we can get the Vulture? Like pay the difference in cost to upgrade to the masikari pack? then buy wave 2?

[SpiralFace]

Thats exactly what you guys are getting. Jon just has to get the functionality up apparently. He would be able to clarify better then me though.

Just bought my Man of War pack, super psyched for my Mad Dog.

MFW I saw this pack announcement.

As much as I do not want to admit this, I would drop a brick (think Bender first episode of Futurama) if it was the Wolf howl.

Question:

I bought one of the first wave packages before the clan release and upgraded to masakari package after the clan release
I got the man-o-war package today (which says "owned" now at the bottom of them)...
yet the mad dog still has a tag below it saying upgrade...

Will i get the mad dog or it is only for people who got the masakari package before the initial clan release?

I have this upgrade tab as well. However it does specifically say if you own the Masakari package, which I do and buy the Man of War package you will get the Mad Dog. It doesn't say anything about pre-ordering the Masakari package, I figure that that the upgrade tab there will become clickable sometime before the 23rd, because I still haven't gotten my forum titles after all, I think that will be injected sometime after.

You'll get it, its not unlocked for me either and I had the Warhawk pack the first or second day it was for pre-order (lack of internet and cell server does wonders for stuff like this...) and then got the Gargoyle package today.

I think that's just an update failure, mine does that too and I definitely pre-ordered the Masakari pack.

I honestly hope we get those Clan faction content colors for our Wave I mechs as well, because I might have ruined my pants for that Clan Ghost bear scheme. Makes me ACTUALLY want to run with the Bears, I mean I considered it before, but I've been Lone Wolfing this game since Closed Beta...

the wave II page says that the faction content is still being revised...
so there is hope.

man... that ghost bear pattern is awesome... would love to get that on my wave 1 mechs....!

@ Russ or PGI
will the premium time be allocated to our bank or start straight away without activation?

I would prefer it to be banked if you want to know

once I get an answer I may buy the man or war pack
