Updated the list to reflect the changes.

Yea I haven't seen a Kintaro with a PPC so I couldn't say it's complete. Anyone own one to verify the weapon customization?

Yes, PPC changes the Kintaro visual.

Blackjack have full visualization too.

So, any hint of what's gonna be for May? New variants? Anything?

Looks like we're going to get both Panther & Wolfhound sometime in the future:

Alongside Mauler (sorta confirmed) and Vindicator (fully confirmed) that makes no less the four IS mechs down the pipeline.

[JudgeDeathCZ]

no clue.
BTW they should pin/stick this thread again T_T

Next Hero is still 2 weeks away, but its 100% an old chassis hero.
Taken the fact that they even slowed map making in favor of the clan mechs its hard to say if we get a new chassis or some variants of older mechs.

The only mech i am currently waiting for is the Zeus. Most others i want will never be in SMOG.

My guess with the Clans releasing in June it'll be the Flea (gasp) and additional variants for mechs that have MASC by retrofitting the mechs in question (should the variants be in game) or adding in new ones.

The only other lighter weight brackets are heavy and assault tied at 7 chassis each.

Guess we'll see.

Hate to burst your bubble, but based upon Karl's post, MASC doesn't look like a very promising guess.

Well phooey.

Sorry - if it makes you feel better, he also shot a few buckshots into my "balance ACs" idea, but luckily I carry lots of SpaceDuct Tape with me, so I'm still pushing forward! They are obviously close to having MASC in the game, but have to leap over a couple more tech hurdles before they reach the finish line...

I do hope they use the Battlepack: 4th Succession War art as the inspiration for the Wolfhound's head. The 3039 and 3050 art left much to be desired with the head. They can use the 3085 head for all I care, just for pity's sake not the doorstop head.

PPCs should be about twice their current size in diameter. Other than that, not bad!

Huh? I can get that some mechs like the Firestarter in particular have way too tiny of PPCs, but the Adder? The light mech restricted to 97.2 kph and heavily dependent on very high-heat weapons like the Clan ERPPC? The little guy is probably going to be gimped enough as it is.

Bigger weapons does not always mean bigger hitboxes just larger visuals. I really love the Adder so even with the weenie CERPPC models I definently am getting it.

It'll be interesting to see how they set up the hitboxes, especially with regard to the Head (all that glass!) and the torso (particularly with regard to the "shroud"/"hood").
