yeah, the heavy mechs are as fast as IS mediums, and can not brawl, or snipe like the IS can, nor use missiles like the IS can.

What? Timber Wolf excellent brawler. Has XL engine for great speed to close distance, but can continue to fight with one side torso lost. Here is tip for you, when IS mech with standard engine (which much slower and hold many fewer weapons than Timber Wolf) lose both side torso, mech become known as 'zombie' and good only for blocking fire. Trade ability to zombie for Clan XL engine any day.

Have you TRIED piloting a Timberwolf or any clan mech? broken ass hitboxes that ensure you are defanged or cored quickly?

not to mention.. i'm sorry, but no.. Clan weapons long burn time and high heat is NOT an advantage.

I will agree with you that Teamwork generally is OP, but have you seen the terror that is a IS light mech rush in Counter Attack? ..Clans can't do that.

clans can definitely counter it, try dropping with a bunch of streak stormcrows and see what happens to any IS lights foolish enough to ignore you and go for gens

Have 2 elited Timber Wolves in mech bay, actually. Best mech in game, hands down. Meta build is good, as is "75 ton Atlas" build and SPLAS/SRM brawler.

Also have elited Orion Protector. You guess which mech I play when try to help unit members get wins in pub group to make c-bills? Also you guess which trial mech I tell new unit members to play in cadet games? I give you hint: weigh 55 tons.


You want talk about broken hitboxes? Really? You try playing Catapult some time, then you get back to me. Mech is complete garbage compare to clan 65 ton Hellbringer.

I actually have 2 Cats after mastering them and selling the then gimped to hell laser one. Cats hitboxes have ALWAYS sucked, but of course it is gonna lose.. (Catapult; A seige weapon meant to throw rocks and other objects long distances during prolonged attack) to a Hellbringer that is an ECM able hunting mech. .. so .. no freaking crap dude.

And oh yes please, ***** about the stormcrow some more. Let's not look at the fact that There are no Clan lights we can really use, and no good meduims to use other then the StormCrow, which by the way, will never out pace a light mech and even with SRMS has a hard time with a swarm of lights if they are in any way coordinated. If anything the StormCrow is what the Hunchback use to be with armor and speed swapped, Great for crowd control, but nothing you want to solo ANY mech in what so ever.

The Nova is a total joke still, the Summoner is a POS thanks to how they use slots in this game, The Myst Linx I can't own still and the DIre Wolf n WarHawk are to slow to do anything in CW.

Yeah, Clan tech tots op. I had to spend about 20,000,000 Cbills to simply get one MadDog somewhat Viable for CW, 600,000 aside for radar derp, The ThunderBolt can be bought for a fraction of the cost and readied for less than half of what the MadDog takes, AND be good enough to drop straight decks of them and shred everything.

Speed is hard to account for in my StormCrow when my leg or arm gets alpha'd off in one go by a Tbolt. ..which by the way is MEANT to be a **** mech, it was crap in Table Top, it was crap in the games, Don't even get me started on how many choices you have with IS tech and some you Should not even have.. *cough cough* -Kingcrab-

Even you do not actually believe this. You think that in game mode balance around drop tonnage, that c-bill cost of mech more important than amount of firepower and rate of speed mech bring at tonnage? Ha ha ha. OK.

I have simple solution then. Let IS player pay 'refit fee' for use of clan mech in drop deck. Let clan player do same with IS mechs. See how many clan player switch for IS mechs and how many IS player switch for clan mechs.

guys this mech was crap in battletech. please restore it to the canonical level of usefulness because there should be multiple trap options in this game. please respect this opinion, and like/follow me on youtube

Only problem with that is I PLAY Table top, and if you go with original rules of clan invasion I will be the first to admit clan mechs where completely and utterly broken. It was play clans or GTFO.

Frankly I would welcome mechanics that let Clanners play like Clanners, Bidding down mechs to see who can get the job done with the least amount of units, I would welcome this in a heart beat and would LOVE to be able to actually call out fellow clanners in trials and the like. Freaking BRING it! But as it stands, They didn't bother doing that cause IS *******, pisses and moans all the time about clans being an easy win button when most of them never follow squad tactics and just rush in like this is MW2 and they are the god mode player character.

No, price and such do not balance mechs, Don't put words in my mouth. But my point is it takes a lot more work to get a half assed only nitch good clan mech into operational status then it does to take a cheep POS and get it into a meta that has very little flaws to it. Oh..and let us not forget that IS can always adjust the speed of their mechs, Clans.. can not..

Really I team with a Storm Crow player who swears by them and does really well. SSRM Crow does not need to chase a light one alpha and bye bye.

No good lights for Clan? I have 3 Kit Foxs that I love (SSRM light hunter, ERPPC sniper, and a support mech (Narc and ECM to cover team and help LRM boats).

As to cost you already have XL, Case, Endo, FF, DHS so only things to buy are Artermis, bigger engine and weapons. IS have to buy all that, 1.5 million just to DHS.

Also you stated earlier One, I dun *****, piss and rage in the Forums, I learn how to use the mech and team work to kick ass other wise" Yeah Right, full on rant going on here!

The only point I will give you is yes Clans not a good as they should be, but if we were true to lore Clans should field less mechs and only fight one on one. Also Smoke Jag clan will be dead after task force Seperent. I doubt these will happen in game as Not Lore, by best they could do.

I'd be fine with smoke Jag getting gutted in return for more Clan like mechs and more lore like drops. 6 clan pilots against the the world? That makes my skin tingle. But no.. you honestly think that IS pilots would be happy with that? Hell most of what I see on the Forums is calling for the TimberWolf and crew to be "nerfed to the ground"


Let us not forget, Team work and Voice chat OP. *rolls eyes*

I have that because I am a U.S. Marine who has seen a lot of the best and absolute worst the world has to answer in my tour and trying to find out the meaning behind it all and how the world really works. That is why the line holds meaning to me.
