It actually works pretty good as a lrm 10/15 missle thrower. Sure you can only put one on but I've managed to harass a Timber Wolf down with a lrm 10 and two machine guns. And it's pretty funny to see a Dire-Cow turn around pure rage in its eyes because missles where hitting him and then seeing the confused look when its a little Lynx and has to watch you scurry away giggling like a little kid.

"Look Ma, No Arms" took on a whole new meaning.

The only way this mech can be saved is a ST with an omni pod that can equip a Energy hardpoint.

or

A omnipod "head" that can equip a energy hardpoint.

Possibly both.

Jesus christ people, give it a break. You strangling the poor thing to death in the first few hours of its life. Give it some god damn breathing time to see where it fits in before you decide to stab it in the face and kill it.

An Omnipod head with energy is impossible because there's a hardwired Probe up there. Side torsos are our only option.

Yeah but you see what I was "hoping" for there don't yah?

In that case that only leaves the one side torso for an energy hardpoint since the other is full. Unless we get knee rockets.

Does anyone remember what the CERSML's best optimal range one before any nerfs were made to them?

Somehow, a buff to make them closer to the range of the IS MPL would probably be appropriate....

Their unmodified range was 180m, but then Paul damage nerfed them by -1 and increased range to 200m to attempt to compensate, and since the Nova wasn't completely dead yet he nerfed them AGAIN with +1 heat and -50m of range (down to 150m). But with the latest laser pass he seems to have realized his mistake (at least somewhat) and gave it back its original damage and its 200m range.

í´m running mine with 2 srm4 + 1 ermed + 2 ersmalls... its okay... my only gripe - as stated before - are the ridiculously huge arms... otherwise i would be okay with the mech as it is...

although, ecm in a sidetorso would be nice - fine by me if it was hardwired

If only there was a system put in that alows developers to balance mechs by adding hit points to individual components

BEHOLD!





I'm sure that will be sufficient...

That 0.6 leg structure will clearly save the mech from an alpha strike that would normally leg it, brah!

At first I thought I could love you, but really you are just absolute trash.

It's not the speed, it's not the weapons, it's not the limited tonnage. It's your XXXX'n gorilla arms that instantly die to EVERYTHING.



Arty shell drops near you, Pop both arms.
Lrm's target you, Pop both arms.
Streaks, Pop both arms.
Inaccruate sweeping laser fire? pop both arms.

I can not properly convey how much I loath this mech and how frustrated I am with it. If this was the first mech released in the pack I would be screaming for a refund on the whole pack.

The only reason I am not is because I honestly no not believe they would grant it at this late date.

No other mech in the game has come close to the absolute pure contempt that I hold for this mech. I'm done with you. XXXXX waste of time and money and the sole reason I am not getting the resistance pack.

I highly recommend you avoid buying this mech for cbill or MC. Even if they decided to give it to you for free I would recommend you turn them down for fear of contaminating all the functional mechs.

Sincerely

You put LRMs on that thing and call it bad?

Well, that's the old 5% PGI used to do.


It seems this hasn't been updated.

Tier 5 mech, minus 2 quirks due to Jesus Box and JJs.

I thought people were exaggerating untill I was piloting my Mist Lynx and encountered another Mist Lynx with 2xSSRM4.

"Good, this should be an interesting duel," I thought and readied my medium lasers and SRM4.

BLAM! One of my arms is gone. Ok, not a problem, I still have my-

BLAM! My other arm is gone.
