Besides the Kodiak, what other Clan Battlemechs are there that could be introduced in the current year setting? MK.II I am assuming is out I would give 2 at best 3 to 5 years...at worst well 16 to 17 lol. I just can't wait for what is to come...current generation stuff is...lacking and boring kinda, I know I am a guy who's mind is in 3065ish not 3050 lol...

There you go, a list of 3050-ish Clan Battlemechs.

[CK16]

Ok only a few of them lol, I could see the Clan refits coming in with 2nd line's to balance things out...Though IS pilots wouldn't get those advantages really

By the way, those were only the "general" clan units, not counting clan exclusvies like the Kodaik of Clan Ghost Bear.

[CK16]

Have they commented on if they will add clan exclusive ones?

Doubtful, and I suspect that clan battlemechs scare the hell out of them from a balance stand point....

I mean with out hard point inflation, a Kodiak is a damn scary thing!

Sounds like fun! I understand...they would need to figure something out to balance it.

my guess i they will have at least some of the omnimech limits if not all of them

[CK16]

Well there is that town hall thing maybe we can get some answers. And if these 2nd line Mechs so good why are they 2nd line? Mk.II seems like an ideal design for an open battlefield, or hilly. The Kodiak is a brawling animal lol no pun intended. I hope they answer some. Along with if they will allow IS players to take advantage of clan tech in later years like bought. Along with true merc factions

[Metus regem]

They are second line, due to the lore reason that Omnimechs are much more advanced, and can change their load outs to meet each mission profile, something battlemechs can't do.

[CK16]

Huh, I wouldn't always say that omni means "more advanced" lol. I guess the only way they could do this is so how figure a way to get a hold of Clan tech maybe or something along with the same restrictions as current clan mechs. Engine size ect to cap speed.

[CK16]

Well Shadowcat INC along with some others...should be interesting Wave 3.
