So i am saving for a module, leveling my cicada and just happened to peak at quirks on cicad'as and noticed, the 2B has pulse quirks, the 2A i have been playing uses ML quirks. I have been using MP's for well over a year now, i just love the da-da-da-da and i find i can land them better as well and now they got a buff i love um even more..

So i decided what the heck, i need a 4th cicada! and i shall name the "Herbie the Wub-bug"

anyone else play this mech,, i have not recalled seeing one in game..


PS anyone else ever own a VW bug?

Oh yeah, Cicada B with wubs is my second best mech with a 2.33 KDR.

Ridgehumps like a boss, and feels like a light...mainly.

The A isnt bad either, dont have the ML modules for it yet though.

The C, ER-PPC fun but not as strong.

Both the A and B can go really, really well. Tend to use 5mpls rather than the 4 your have shown on smurfy.

I have actually bought a second A for a potential CW drop deck choice. I find that add weapon range modules more important than the cooldown one but when such lasers are your only use then having both can do no harm as long as you can control your heat.

Thanks for adding the video!

Cheers!

I have always like the pulses too so when them quirks came online, the cicada B is my second favorite 'Herbie' . with the cooldown mod, chain firing at legs does wonders it might be first but its hard to impress more than a X-5 with 4ml, 2srm4's.. shooting 2ml and 1 srm4 with each pull of the trigger LOL

I'm running almost the exact same build with my CDA-2B (4 med pulse lasers, ES, FF, double heat sinks and a big XL engine to go over 140kph). I'm pretty happy with how it's worked out but I've found it to be a bit hit and miss in game. It's good fun to pilot but you have to treat it as a light mech rather than a medium due to it's mobility and general lack of armour.

I did have an awesome game with it a couple of nights ago when I got legged really early on. I hooked up with a couple of teammates and went on to get something like 4 kills plus I managed to avoid being destroyed as well!

The 2B is an awesome mech. It's my baby thunderwub. 5 MP Lasers and a XL300 well dish out some great damage, you just have to use it as a hit and run striker.
