The Clans need more Mech options to give us more depth in CW by allowing us to have more mechs to pick from to fill out drop decks. Check out my thread on "How to get IIC Mechs into MWO thread located here and post your ideas and suggestions or just "like" my post and maybe we can get PGI to make it happen.

The Clans do need more options. Timberwolf, Stormcrow gets boring both for clan and those playing against.

Sorry, should be fixed now

[Mordin Ashe]

Agreed. Laser vomits and SRM boating are the only builds used because they are the only ones that even remotely work. Clan ballistics are useless, Clan LRMs can be negated by one Firestarter and some of our more versatile Mechs suffer from terrible hitboxes and fixed equipment.

Each and every one of these issues can be fixed easily, most of good ideas were already said and repeated many times now. What we need is people repeatedly expressing such need for things to start happening.

Maybe don't gravitate toward the tier 1 mechs all the time and instead try to better yourselves by piloting the less than perfect designs? Works well for me.

[Curccu]

Agreed.

"IS" players constantly whine that they see nothing else than timbers and crows (no worries there will be a lot of hellbringers soon) reason might be that we have only 3 mediums Ice ferret, Nova and Stormcrow and Ice ferret and Nova are kinda bad...

Same with Heavies we only have 4 heavies. Summoner, which is only decent SSRM/SRM boat, Mad dog which is only decent SSRM/SRM boat (Yes it's pretty good with LRMs but LRMs are not good in the 1st place) Hellbringer which I think is very good but it's still MC/$ only for few more weeks and then THE BIG BAD Timberwolf which is very very good.
So should I take those bad mechs or good ones if my goal is to win a match?

[dervishx5]

Idk, how much more glorious and honorable would it be to win a battle with a less than perfect designs all the time?

I'm curious to see if any of the competitive teams are capable of doing such a thing.

SO you think winning with one arm behind your back would gain LESS glory? Not a very Clanner way of thinking.

[xVLFBERHxT]

Right, we need more clan mechs, we need the Executioner!

Thanks!

whats the purpose of adding more inferior mechs? NOTHING the clans have enough mechs, they just need more balance amongst each other. Same for the IS.

That would be a matter of opinion, personally I feel that some IIc Mechs as well as other Clan BattleMechs are superior to many OmniMechs.

which ones? we can try to analyse them. But without even knowing how clan battlemech construction rules would be, we can only judge regular hardpoints, geometry and locations.

Mechs were for teh less than stellar MechWarriors in teh Clans. Are you saying your members are substandard and not worthy of the best?

We have like 12 mechs right now, its just that 3 of them are the ones people like to drive and the best. We dont need more mechs, we need buffs to the ones we have. Then more people will drive the others and there will be less TBR/SCR QQ.

[Joe Mallad]

At this point in the time line, there is 3 other mechs the Clans had for the initial invasion push.

Of the IIc I feel that the Locust is a superior Light in comparison to most light OmniMechs (Fire Moth being the exception) in terms of mediums I feel that the Shadowhawk holds superiority over any medium OmniMech. Heavies, it is my opinion that the Rifleman matches the quality of the Timberwolf which is superior in my opinion to other heavy Mechs, and for Assaults the Warhammer and the Pheonix Hawk outclass most OmniMechs. While speaking of assaults another BattleMech (Not a IIc though) that I feel outclasses OmniMechs but this one with no equal is the Stone Rhino.

I have my personal reasons for these beliefs and they are my personal opinions so they are not up for debate. There will be no analyzing them as I am making the point that people will have particular opinions and those opinions are what will drive them more then hypothetical math.
