For a Clan 40 ton mech id rather have the Pouncer or Battle Cobra (Prime, A, F) than the Dragonfly

36 tons no? And you have to put at least 6 tons of gauss ammo.

No, it's 38 (or 37.4 with armor maxed out, which you don't need).

OK, it is possible to fit 2x Gauss + 2x ER PPCs, but it will run too hot and with few ammo...

Really? well...I guess taste is relative.

With just arm omni pods, Std Engine, relatively slow speed and no jump jets, I didn't even consider the Battle Cobra in the list.

The F variant does have Jump Jets, hence i mentioned it explicitly.

The Kodiak is a nice assault, but it is not that nice. The Turkina would likely sell better than the Kodiak, no offense to your Ghost Bear pride.

I would take the Kodiak over the Turkina too.

The different opinions on which mechs should be included in the game first, im sure are in part based on why we want these mechs in the game. Is it for the loadouts they could get in game, the emotional attachment you have to them from the TT game /prior Mechwarrior games or for their great looks.

As only the arms are omnipods, I thought it wasn't able to mount Jump Jets... my mistake.

The F is also 3056; I guess not too far out. No unreleased tech either; all ERMLs and a UAC5.

It's essentially a fatter Cute Fox, with less pod space. It does get nearly double the hardpoints, though. 10E on the A.

I could see maybe the Pouncer but we need more Jump capable mediums so I would say no to the Battle Cobra.

As far as the Viper, before piloting the Ice Ferret I would have agreed but considering its speed of 143 kph with Tweak, 240m JJ capability (don't know how it translates from TT to MWO but this will be huge even in MWO) and has the ability to mount either 4 MGs and 5 energy weapons or 5 energy weapons and an SRM, you have the makings of a pretty damn good striker/light mech hunter. Also it is based off the Kit Fox so shouldn't be that much larger than the Kit Fox. Only 8.5 tons of pod space though so a little limited there.

Pouncer is only 107 kph which still isn't bad and it would have alot more room for firepower at 12.5 tons but doesn't have the massive jump capability or speed. of the Viper. Still I have to admit, taking a A variant and mounting 4 ER MLs + 2 SRM6 + Artemis sounds juicey.

Still I would be fine with either I think.

[Odanan]

But Viper is one of the original invading Clan omnimechs and it never featured any MW/BT game, as far as I know.
Sharing the legs with the Nova and the arms with the Kit Fox might also help to put it first in the game.

Unless they speed up the mech releasing process... but don't worry, the Nova Cat's older brother, the Night Gyr, should come in late 2015.

And it is a great mech.

Yeah, Night Gyr does look badass with HEAPS of potential - would be one brutal heavy. Definitely would be a must buy for me.

Nova Cat still my fav mech in all of BT though.

Most awesome looking mech there is and anybody who disagrees is wrong!

I disagree, the Urbanmech is much cooler. Same for the Dire Wolf, the Mad Dog and some other mech.

But yes, the SuperNova IS a cool looking mech and I will gladly use that baby when it come out.

It looks good (somewhat reminds me of a buffed Cylon Centurion), but too wide for MWO. Anyway, I think you could do a Nova Cat with the Night Gyr.

And good news for the UrbanMech fans cultists: Russ said (Townhall Meeting #3) that Alex is working on the Urbie.

So, any more suggestions for packs?

[Walluh]

My suggestion for a clan pack would be to nonsensically shove one together with the arctic wolf, the cauldron-born, the nova cat, the blood asp, the supernova, the kodiak, the stone rhino..

I really like clan assaults okay.

Arctic Wolf? The Battlemech (3059) or the Omnimech (3067)?

Bane/Kraken will be a balance nightmare. 2x UAC/20 + 12x MGs = do want.

[Angel of Annihilation]

Was actually looking at the Clan Grendel Omnimech and would really like to see this make it in game.

45ton
123 kph with Tweak
7 JJ
13.5 tons of weapons (4 tons more space than Ice Ferret)
Thin Humaniod profile

Basically a slightly slower Ice Ferret with massive jumping ability, much better hard points and enough extra tonnage to make use of them. Love it.
