Ok, I take back what I said. That thing looks badass.

Here are some crazy numbers on this mech, specifically the L build.


If you had a dual ac20, dual LPL build with cooldown mods for both and fast fire unlocked, the DPS would be around 21.5. Wow.

And that is with a 1.3 heat efficiency judging by the build in the quirk page that Sean put up.

NASTY!

Also quad UAC5s with 3 six packs. OMG.

The CTF-4X does 20 dps roughly with 4 AC5s.

Just throwing some things together... Just theory builds. They indeed can be built, but aren't necessarily great. Because the Norn is a KGC-000(L), we've got 6x Ballistic on the arms, 2x Energy and 2x Missile on the torsos and 1x AMS to work with.

64.2 kph Dakka Boat - The 6xAC2 JM6-DD that makes more sense
DHS+Endo
560/614 armor
XL360+4DHS for 64.2kph (Or STD310 and no extra DHS for 55.2kph)
6xAC2+10 tons ammo (750 rounds; 1500 damage potential)
2xMedium Lasers
1xAMS+1.5 tons ammo

UAC5 Boat - Probably going to be common
DHS+Endo
560/614 armor
STD310 for 55.2kph (XL350 and no endo for 62.4 kph)
4xUAC5+10 tons ammo (300 rounds; 1500 damage potential)
2xMedium Pulse Lasers
1xAMS+1.5 tons ammo

AC20 Brawler - My default build. Probably will tweak
DHS+Endo
576/614 armor
STD340 for 60.6kph
2xAC20+11 tons ammo (77 shots; 1540 damage potential)
2xMedium lasers

Same as last build, but slower and with AMS
DHS
576/616 armor
STD320 for 57.0kph
2xAC20+ 11 tons ammo (77 shots; 1540 damage potential)
2xMedium lasers
1xAMS+1 ton ammo

CTF-4x, only scarier - No XL engine problems the CTF-4x has, and more ammo
DHS+Endo
576/616 armor
STD340 for 60.6kph
4xAC5+11 tons ammo (330 shots; 1650 damage potential)
Or you could slow it down with a STD325 (57.9kph) and add:
2xMedium lasers
1xAMS+1 ton ammo

"Who needs friends when you've got Dakka"
DHS+Endo
560/616 armor
STD310 for 55.2kph
2xLB10x + 5 tons ammo (75 shots; 750 damage potential)
2xAC5 + 7 tons ammo (210 shots; 1050 damage potential)

It looks pretty nice. Nice enough to see a lot less Atlas on the field soon.
Perhaps it would be nice to give the Atlas some unique Command and Control features to really define the roles for CW? Atlas is for flag officers and King Crab is for the tip of the spear.

I think so too
Especially the DDC since it comes with a command console
Maybe in CW you can call in arty and the like only from such mechs?
Though in reality I think commanders are better left in a DS since it gives better mobility and long range

KGC was designed as a straight upgrade from the Atlas, and was more than capable of taking an Atlas down with little trouble. The only reason they didn't replace them was because all examples of the KGC left with Kerensky.

Also, the KGC has a C&C variant, the KGC-010.


So... Yeah. :/

Replace LRM 15 ART with 4 SRM4's.

Yes yes yes YES I am gonna rip you Direwolf besterds APART. Think your safe? Hell no....You guys are screwed!

[Ace Selin]

This thing looks so awesome!!!
Thats all I can say....Awesome!!!

[bluepiglet]

10 hardpoints on a mech of the size of a heavy? Wow, PGI, just wow. I might just go back to WoT for less power creeping.

Read the thread and look at the pics. Its downsides are quite evident.

This.

From dead front, it has great hitboxes. From every other angle, not so much. From above, an Awesome could sunbake on it and the Crab still wouldn't be in the shade. Look at the rear - the side torsos are utterly enormous.

[Son of the Flood]

Thanks Phil for the preview!

As evidential as its superiority over Atlas?

who knows? i'm going to reserve my opinion until after i've actually played it.

[STEF_]

I'm still looking the screenshots and the preview.... read the thread, posts, then screenshots again... others posts.... preview again.
The screenshots...

And I must admit the the only thing my brain manages to think is this:


BWAUAAAUAUAAAAUAUAAUAUAAAA.
soon. MINE!...soooooon!....
