speed quirk, so it can go 97kph, just sayin... http://de.toonpool.c...lash_655975.jpg

No... 81kph is the non tweaked speed. It runs 89 with tweak.

My god is it ugly. The body is not too bad although it looks like it missed a few arm days. But that face/head is not very good.

Given that all of its weapons are in the arms, it doesn't seem like intentionally blocking the CT with the arms is as viable as it could be.


It has CT weapons slots as well.

Might as well just take a heavy mech. Same speed, same armor, same pod space if not lower on some... yet bigger model/hitboxes and soaks an assault slot. : / Expected it so oh well.


This is a mech for CW dropdecs more then likely and nothing else.


Also, how do you figure it having 5 extra tons and less pod space then a timby that it has LESS ARMOR?


Your maths must be off...

Other way around; it will never be used in CW, but for PUG matches where everything can go 90+.


It's the racecar. It's a 65 ton mech in a 80 ton chassis.

It's like this on most chassis that have CT Hardpoints + they released the omnipods before. Everyone could check that before buying the mech :P


Yeah I know I have 12 Heroes plus the Overlord/Masakari/Clan II packs. I have plenty of choices to farm C-bills with but I guess I've finally reached my tipping point.

In a tonnage constrained environment like CW, the Timberwolf is orders of magnitude more optimal for its tonnage than the Gargles. The Timber uses less dropship tonnage than the Gargles while still being overall superior in basically all aspects except perhaps torso twisting radius and rate (which alone won't win the battle).

The extra armor of an 80 tonner is nothing compared to the better hardpoints, more firepower, higher mounts, and JJs of the Timber.

WE may never use it McGral, but that is the PURPOSE of releasing other mechs, also DIVERSITY! If they ever implement 1 of any chassis rule it could be more viable or ideal to take.

I honestly see me and my play style being more viable in this then the DWF or the WHK. It goes much faster, can be sneakier, can keep up with ECM Clan mechs and can tank dmg for the mechs that are suppose to do the dmg like the guys in Timbys and Hellbringers.

We will see what it is capable of tonight when i get home!

I am determined to make at least ONE MORE MECH from the Wave 2, I also am SUPER BORED with my Timberwolves....The game isnt a challenge when I am in one.
