love my AH. Don't love the new RA. But we will get a "meet in the middle barrel size fix" eventually, so that will help SOME, at least.

I'm fine with the Atlas-S, even stock I'm doing as well as I am with the Founder and K, but the Cent AH I'm having more trouble finding a feel for. Keep wanting to play it as a Wang when its most definitely not.

Anyone know if we'll see more IS mechs before the pack hits? Didn't they promise like 1 new IS mech each month after the first clan pack?

Honestly I question if we will, the amount of effort to get the first Clan Collection needed drop everything, even with less Clan 'Mechs I expect that avoid drop everything will mean no other 'Mechs aside from those announced in the two pack for the remainder of this year/early next year.

I seriously doubt there will be even more new mechs. But every month will see new mechs come available for MC and/or cbills out of these packs so there's that.

I for one have no problem with our new pack overlords but I'm sure some do and that at some point next year they'll need to tweak the mech release systems to make people who feel really put off less put off.

If you listen to the Town Hall Meeting, it looks like mechs will only be released in packs from now on.

Makes sense from a business point of view I'd think as people appear to get a lot more excited over packs, and therefore more willing to buy, than they are likely to spend money on a single mech release. I know that has been true for me at least.

am hoping we misunderstood, tbh.

Monthly mechs I could take time off form for CW, but I think they will lose money long term without the single mech/hero impatient whale players.

Heroes will probably be showing every month. And if they start to introduce Clan heroes, well,, there will be plenty of heroes for the next 2 years.

If we think about it, they must do a lot more money by selling packs instead of individual mechs with MCs.

Anyway, here are the IS availability tables updated with the Resistance mechs:

The second Draconis Combine column is for Kurita A rated units (they have much more old Star League stuff).

Extra IS mechs (strong candidates that can be added any moment):

All Resistance mechs are from the Battletech Introductory Box. It looks like they will end adding them all!

not ready to use my AH yet, but I did a quick practice update with it

1-double sinks
2-endo steel
3-XL275
should have a couple of tons left over for Ac20 ammo or AMS and maybe BAP with a little tweaking, in case anyone needs an idea to help them along with the mech, enjoy!

I don't know if it'd work either, but I'd strip half a ton of armour off the left arm and add another half ton of SRM ammo.
