Let's help PGI to earn more money.

For me, the choice is the STK-5M. I really like it's additional missile slot plus CT energy slot. It is my favorite jack-of-all-trades Stalker ATM. Second choice would be the D-DC, no brainer.

What about you?

Probably the D-DC or maybe one of the Victors once quirks get reset.

They really should add a a la carte option for all IS mechs and let you choose the "Clanbuster" cbill bonus variant as you can get any clan mech with a bonus now.

Wolverine 6R. Although I still have hope for an actual Hero Wolverine (please let it have an AC/20).

Raven 3L, Stalker 3F, Catapult C-1.... hmmm... trying to think of the mechs that I would love to play on a regular basis but missing the 30% c-bill boost that I refuse to play without (unless leveling).

VND-1AA Vindicator
I freaking love that little booger. Would much rather see the +30% bonus on that than my SIB (though I enjoy that one alright).

BJ-1X would have been a sure buy as a Hero.

I still want to see a Hero Locust of some sort. Six machine guns, go!

With the Dire wolves 7 kills a match and clans taking up the spot light, the Arrow still stands out as one of the top mechs out there. No kidding. I have seen a couple talented pilots use those to maximum effect. They had the Arrow loaded out with alot of speed and energy weapons. A very good mech.

Yeah it is sure going to be popular. Since people can buy the regular variant with C-Bills, there should be no P2W outrage.

K2 or CTF-3D....Jester has JJ, but no ballistics, so it's meh for me, and Iliya seems great, but lacks the JJ of the 3D, so I'd rather have that for a mech I'd spend real money on and use daily.

I just spent 60$ on 2 Mechs. PGI does not need any help to earn money.

Probably the 3D. Has remained the IS heavy of choice since its release.

Maybe the BNC-3E due to its high mounted energy + ballistic hardpoints in the STs which for me is an instant winner.

I'm not sure why, but it works Posted Image

I suspect the MG's scare pilots with exposed internals, but that's just a guess. I've gotten several 500+ damage matches with it.

yeah I know that feeling with the WVR-6R.

I HATE that mech, it's soooo ugly.
Yet mine is about as non-meta as it gets, an LB-10X, MPL and 3x SSRM2 w/BAP and the bloody thing is like 500 dmg and 3 kills almost every match. =/
