Once you get hit by an LRM 60 Warhawk....you realise what pain it is to pilot the king crab

So much this. Killed two nearly solo in my Catapult last night (had a light friend helping) since the poor Crabby couldn't turn around and I kept sinking LRMs into his backside.

the KGC is damned powerful, but let's not tell things that simply aren't true, OK?

I agree with DWs have few aces in its sleeve, but let's not ingore things that are wrong with it either, OK?

If two Mechs stand in their places, look at each other and dakka each other, DW wins. But if your battle plan involves any moving besides standing stationary in one spot, KGC is the better Mech. The problem with DW is that it can peek over a corner and if you force it to start turning you won - KGC can circle DW and keep shooting while it can't really turn around that fastm loosing its only strength over its oponent. The agiliy KGC has over DW goes very long way in CQB.

Don't take me wrong, both are great Mechs, but I'd go with KGC over DW in 9 cases out of 10 simply because you can actually deal with what charges you up close.
