The Ice Ferrit is way to difficult to damage not even mentioning kill, that is how all lights should be. Make all lights like the Ice Ferrit or Nerf it.

Thank you

But...the Ice FerrEt is a medium...45 tons....

Are you saying they should get rid of the light class altogether and have the lightest mech available a 45 tonner?

As an Ice Ferret pilot I cannot count how many times I went from full armor to dead without ever seeing what or who shot me. The only thing the Ice Ferret is good at is torso twisting the damage across it's 3 sections, but if you catch an Ice Ferret unaware they're extremely fragile.

If you've played a while you'll notice this is how the Cicada is. For a medium, it's extremely fast and agile which is pseudo armor against attacks and makes it seem a lot tougher than it actually is and just like a light mech if they stop moving they're crushed like a bug.

Ice ferret is a 45 tonner with less than ten tons of weapon space. Jog On^^

Loving the Ferret! Even with it's Locust-like weapons tonnage. In my experience, it's CT is a damage magnet. 10 matches in them last night and cored CT was how all of them died. Kind of reminds me of the Kintaro when it launched. I think more of it's survivability is do to its speed and spreading damage though.

Lolololol.....oh wait....OP is serious??????LOLOLOLOLOLOL....

Its a medium not a light and one that is easy to kill no less.

Hm.. I am guessing one of two things here.

The OP is either a light pilot which the ferret is designed as a counter against or an assault that got caught alone in the open and circle strafed until their back armor got opened up and finished off.

In either case, the issue not the mech but your tactics. Maybe you panicked, maybe you didn't back into something so you couldn't be circled.

Like others have said, much like a light, a still ferret in the open for more than a couple seconds is a dead ferret.

Really? Every time I've seen the IFR in battle so far all I've seen is a kind-of-fast under-weaponed rectangle that I've no problem hitting.
Maybe with PPCs or AC20 (low velocity weapons) it's harder, that would obviously be the case given the IFR's above-average speed for a medium mech.

Try this build. since this walking fridge is so fast for a clan mech. why not make it a light hunter.

Medium mech weight and hardness put with all other aspects it is a light in medium dressing... Please play the death march for all real lights...

If this was the case, then everyone would be playing ferrets. It is a light hunter, that is its role, experienced light pilots (both clan and is) will be able to adapt and be more careful with their tactics.

Also the arms explode if anyone looks at them.
