4 Missile hardpoints:

1x SRM4 in each arm
2x LRM5 in center torso

That dot above the 4 missile ports looks very similar to the missile extensions in the Catapults, so it's clearly a LRM5.

Just reminding you guys that are seeing dozens of energy hardpoints everywhere: Hero mechs have traditionally less hardpoints than standard variants - I'm pretty sure that's all missiles in that mech.

PS: NARC occupy 2 criticals, so it can't be a NARC there.

could well be.

All missiles + no JJs makes Jenner a dull boy.

Who said no JJs? Off course it will have it! Jenner without jump is a bird without wings.

PS: this hero Jenner is a quasi-Jenner IIC! (one more point to my argument about a 2 hunches Hunchback?)

BTW Bishop? Don't you have something to do? Like... finishing your Zeus?

And Maverick? Where the hell did you get that picture? (even if plausible, that hero Jenner could be fake, so show your sources, man)

actually by my count, that would be 5 energy hard points, 2 missile. 2 per arm, 1 CT. And one missile in the ct, one in the head.

Your count and your statement disagrees then; you said:

My guess would be an lrm 5 in the head, srm4 in the ct, small laser in the ct, and 4 small lasers per arm.

If that was just a typo, that's fine, but that was why I commented that it's unlikely to have 1+4+4 = 9 energy hard points.

Hey, I hate Jenners as much as the next Commando pilot, but a second light hero is here! This is celebration time!

I do not quite hate them, except when trying to kill one, I just think a missile boat Jenner sucks pond water. It will either be the most annoying or the most useless.

I am not one to call DOA when a new mech becomes available but this one time I may make an exception. A completely ammo reliant build with no backup weapons plus no JJs and not a lot of room for ammo needed to make a dent in anything bigger than it and on top of that they still have not fixed SRM hit detection so you can basically say that 2-300 rounds for the SRMs is really 1-150 rounds. I much would have rather a Hunchback Hero or Quickdraw than this.

But... didn't they say that the next hero light mech would be released only in Spring?

Anyway, where did you found that picture, Maverick?

PGI actually posted the image and then quickly took it down. I was fast enough to snag it!
Now we wait for the Hunchback Hero.... hopefully with JJ.

Watch that they call it Quasimodo and paint it green and brown give it a c-bill bonus and then make it a less maneuverable version of the 4G with 2 of the 3 ballistics turned into missile hardpoints on the left side; still no JJs.

I was referring to The Hunchback of Notre-Dame The main character is a hunched back man named Quasimodo and in the cartoon he wore green and tan/brown clothes.

Best use of that thing is to have 3-4 of them all 4xSSRM2 and go chew the enemy lights squads. Otherwise it's rather worthless.

I'm thinking hit and run SRM platform. Hang back and wait till the enemy has been softened up and charge in with a SRM18 alpha. I haven't played it yet, but I've been going through builds on smurphy's. The SSRM build just don't work with BAP and max speed. If I'm running minimum firepower, then I gotta have max speed.... The SRM18 build will be interesting to say the least.

[Odanan]

More like a SRM16 (4xSRM4s)... if it had at least 2 or 3 jumpjets to help maneuvering...

so, another mech, like streaktaros and streakhawks who value is situational at best, and most times just gimps the team of a potential good mech/build in the drop?

I'm all for individuality and all, but bad is still bad, lol.

Hmm your better bet is 4xSRM4s, the heat penalty is rather small. Trouble is ammo, any other light will make short work of you and the concentration isn't that good (I've used SRM4s a lot in my 733 and STK 3F), there I found that 3 tons of ammo is decent, 2 it's extremely low and 4 ideal.. but along with several other weapons used as primary, not the 16 srms as primary.

Imho it's streaks or nothing.. But I'm not interested, I'm fine with Sarah's D and the F.

Oh, it is beautiful!
And that LRM-15 ports... brilliant.

PS: now I want something like that in MWO.

PPS: most beautiful Zeus *ever*.

LRM box was Crow's idea. Still not 100% sold on it, only because of the iconic nature of the original version, but it is a pretty cool design if I can get past that.

[John MatriX82]

Nice art as usual Bishop, but I'd not like so much (beside the art behind that - it looks cool) that missile arm. I'd sticked to the Orion-like launcher, maybe it's too bulky, beautifully drawn but not so functional.
