Ran it 4 times, each time with forces looking like this:

Clan Forces; BV 15026
Dire Wolf Prime
Dire Wolf Prime
Dire Wolf A
Dire Wolf B

IS Forces; BV 11519
KGC-000
KGC-000B
KGC-001
KGC-010

Both sides had 3/4 pilots, all four times the ComStar forces (IS Forces) broke Zell on turn 3, starting at turn 4, Clan forces started to focus fire, once that happened, the ComStar forces crumpled in a couple of turns, killing only 1 Dire Wolf each time...

Now these were table top versions, so no ghost heat, no water downed versions of the clans that we see in MWO, but it seems rather clear to me that Dire Wolves totally out class King Crabs. Lets hope the MWO KGC fairs better than the TT versions.

how about 10 weapon hardpoints each, and a120º twist range?

MegaMek doesn't allow for that... these were TRO versions only. And as I said, let us hope the MWO KGC fairs better.

Oddly enough Bishop, the KGC-001, it's pilot was called "Bishop" was usually the one to kill a Dire Wolf, normally with a head shot... :blink:

Though it was usually the KGC-000B "Vassago" that broke Zell, letting the Dire Wolves just annihilate them.... :lol:

I know Megamek doesn't allow for that, I'm just pointing out that along with watered down Clans (though the DW is still potent) having a PP-FLD 100 tonner with twice the twist range and faster rate than the DW should allow for some parity.

Even if Sean had a BAD staring problem in his videos.
