I really hate PPCs for ranges over 7-800m. I prefer ERLL in almost all cases... more heat efficient, instant hitting, and better range than a normal PPC.

well I'm sure if people can make a Twin PPC and twin gauss they will. As for me I've advanced to a level higher of existance

Only 30 shots of Gauss? Seems almost like a waste of tonnage to bring dual gauss and only 3 tons.

Doesn't 4xPPCs run incredibly hot with only 15 heatsinks?

I understand that you could fire 2, fire gauss for no heat, then fire another two, but by that point you could have already fired the first 2 PPCs again. You'd be better off off tons of heatsinks and laser spam for close range... But that's just my look at it. Everyone has their own playstyle.

just don't miss. thats 15 shots into 12 mechs, just use the extra 3 on the biggest assaults.

Why don't we have a DOA thread about this mech yet?

hey! I already called it in another thread. And the DOA will come, because hitboxes probably.

[Walluh]

Jagers have terrible hitboxes yet their ac/40 builds are still good. This has all the firepower and none of the squishiness. It could never be DoA

make it all once CT and watch it be DOA

massive ct and dire wolf mobility would make it DoA

[Moonlander]

I hope the CT works like a stalkers really. Tiny CT, large STs...

WELL, at least somewhat like that. This thing seems much wider.

OR maybe the arms are big enough to block a lot and they're heavily armored... so I can pretend to torso twist.

I am hoping it will be an even 1/3 split, similar to the Hellbringer's current torso. Make it easier to twist with such a limited twist speed that 100 tonners have, but not make it impossible to hit the CT or STs.

[MauttyKoray]

I'm liking the Steiner and Rasalhague designs. Davion just scream 'MURICA looking at it. xD

[Karl Streiger]

nice machine guns.... because it is obvious that those can't be AC 20s right?

could we have big guns - and simple drop the second ballistic hardpoint - thanks

[Kutfroat]

am i the only one seeing all the upcominh "nerf IS autocannons" threads? and i´m not talking about the dual ac40...i think this will actually be the easier to handle build, because of the short range. i mean the 4x uac5, 4x ac5 or 2x ac5 + 2 uac5 builds with 4 medium lasers, even if they need to use an xl300 (dont know), they will eat through anything but other 100 ton mechs in 2 seconds up to medium or even long range...

edit:

3x uac5 jagermechs and cataphracts are allready monsters, but they are glasscannons because of the weight of the weapons and the xl engines, but a fully armored 100ton mech, even when using an xl engine, with 4 uac5 and 4 med lasers as back up...

Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running. And screaming.

And then, within 3 days of its release, urgent calls for nerfing.

Trying to read those Chinese/Kanji character on Liao and Kurita Camo.

The 3 character above the cockpit seems to be "大型蟹", which translate to "Huge Crab".
Not sure the claw have 2(切開) or 3(小切開) character, which translate to "Cut" and "Small Cut" respectively. Probably 3 character, for the irony of huge crab with small cut.


The 4 character above the cockpit is "守则不足", grammar looks odd, could either mean "Not Following Rules", "Not Enough Rules", I assume it suppose to mean "Lawless"?
The 1 character at the claw says "钩", meaning "Hook".
I have no idea what is the theme the message, lawless and hook, this crab is a brawler?

You won't need an XL engine to run UAC5x4. Strip the LRM15 and ammo off, equip endo, and you will have more than enough space for the UAC5s and some energy weapons to back it up. You should even be able to increase the STD300 to something faster.

My immediate build of choice would be 2xAC20, 11 tons of AC20 ammo, an ERLL, and a STD340 engine to propel it at 60.6kph with speed tweak. That will take a little armor stripping from the legs, but should give it more than enough to fight extended brawls and use the ERLL if I manage to run out of ammo.

Wow, thanks!

I was really wondering what they said!

[BumbleBee]

It looks REALLY nice, but honestly, I was hoping to see a Norn paintwork.

Im still going to enjoy driving this barbarian Mech on occasion though

[Lily from animove]

PGI needs to release the sounds of those warhorns, I want to know them, YESTERDAY.

the Hook and lawlessness could indicate some kind of pirate like theme. But not sure how this fits within LIAO

Spoiler

Wolf:
Brown - probably will never use
Green - nope not in this shade
Silver - probably
1/3 colors I would use a lot

Bear:
Blue - yea blue looks good on mechs
White - already use a white on almost every mech so redundant but useful
Slate - basically a grey, probably won't use it very much, but still a good color
2/3 colors I could use

Falcon:
Green - better than default by a long shot
Lime - yea thats a nice bright green color, looks good
Yellow - goes well with the Lime and green, and is noticeable.
3/3 Colors I could use

Jaguar:
Grey - same as slate and silver
Red - yea really could use a red
Black - yes a good color.
2/3 colors I could use.

Really Clan wolf just has ugly shades, if they had gone with a red and orange instead of brown and green, I would probably pick clan wolf, but I'm honestly planning on getting ghost bear's pack, because I prefer the colors. Of course the only mech I will be able to put the pattern on will be my Koshies so I don't really care about the pattern as much.

Well yeah, if you only get to choose one, you're going to choose Clan Ghost Bear because it's the best camo and colours of the group.
But if you went for the Gargoyle you're getting all 4 anyway so~

My dream of getting a Davion Guards paint job is fulfilled. It's... beautiful. I love the "Eat This" and "Front Towards Enemy." The other claw says, "The Clamps" so I'm guessing something on the other side to complete the witticism, perhaps an "of ______".

As others are saying, the model all but seems to prove that the arms will have 2 ballistic hardpoints a piece.

Hello 4xUAC5/4xAC5. Or for the ultimate ****-storm, 2xLB10x, 2xAC5, 1 of each in the arms. This thing is gonna kick ass and take names.

I want to put 4LBX10 on it.
I don't know that I'll be able to, as we don't know how they've made the AC20 fit in the arms, but I want to.
