Thank you Wieland. That looks both terrifying and hilarious.

Also note: I forgot to attach armor to that build. So technically it would not work.

And 4 tons of lrm ammo is also not very much.

Just drop the arm missiles and put more ammo/armor in, IMO.

If you downgrade the launchers you can fit in decent armor and get more shots.

Or if you want more armor minus the locking of Streaks (since SRMs are much better now)

Where is your Mackie? Centuries in the past.

From Sarna:

Quote

When the Mackie was first built, it epitomized the Terran Hegemony's technological advantage over the great houses. It was the pinnacle of military technology until 2455, when the plans were stolen by agents of the Lyran Commonwealth. Still, the Mackie had such symbolic importance to the Terran Hegemony that it remained in production until the start of the Amaris Civil War, although it has not been built since then.

Amaris Civil War was from 2766 to 2780.

not going let a little fact that it hasn't been built in over 300 years (Mackie) stop us from finding caches of them stored. :)

Looks like a Warhammer in that image. Can't wait to get the Hellbringer or Thug just so I can make a Warhammer finally :)

To PGI:

Please add the following omnimech configuration:

Warhawk F


That's not the Warhawk F. It's random fanconfiguration, which sadly a lot of German origin stuff is.

The B config would also give it some nice options as well to break away from high-energy builds.

Quote

Alt. Config. F Apparently designed to reduce heat, this configuration of the Warhawk carries a single ER PPC in each arm backed up by an LRM-20 and LRM-10. A torso-mounted Ultra AC/2 rounds out the weapons. Like most Warhawk variants, this version carries an advanced Targeting Computer.

That's the F config.

I was using the picture as an example. I was saying Shimmering Swords for credit purposes.

My vote is the Thug. It is the only assault PGI can offer that would cause me to break away from lights and fast mediums. I had a sweet build in MW4 Mercs with quad SRM4s and dual PPC's with Capacitors. Ah, the good old days.

Ambuscade
