If one of them had a ecm I could see them being used but with the quirks out today they kind of look average or below.

I don't plan on seeing many of them being used next month.

not much to be seen yet. Enforcer[R] is basically a smaller Centurion CN9-D, which may help it while moving. The panther is basically a IS Mist Lynx, and a bit taller. So, in short, expect to see light and medium que to Jump up 20-45%.

[Joseph Mallan]

2 hours till I get to try them I guess.

[NextGame]

Don't know yet. I think the panther will be an outright dud, and the enforcer will be middle of the road amongst the other middle of the road IS mediums.

But hey, new mechs, and better they add the poorer ones than never get around to adding them at all

[HlynkaCG]

Patching at the moment but for the time being I am cautiously optimistic.

I like my centurions so the Enforcer looks like it will be right up my alley, and the Panther looks like it has potential.

I'll be away for Chinese New Year holiday for a week starting tomorrow, won't have access to a computer until next week.
Will try to run the panther as much as I can tonight.

I terms of looks I like them a lot, especially the Panther.
When it comes to how they will perform... The Panther looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, even if it might not be a competitive choice.
The Enforcer, though, I'm not so sure. The [R] version is basically a jump jet Centurion 9D, albeit with worse quirks. They really need to do something about the LB-10X. At least the 9D has massive cooldown quirks to make it viable. With just 20% CDR I might be better off using a regular AC10 on the Enforcer.

Pathers slow speed is going to turn it into a long range sniper. Isnt going to be much good for anything else.

The enforcer ac10 might turn out to be ok. lbx10 is still junk and the uac5 you don't have the tons for 2.

With looks like that, Panther cant be bad. Even if it had just single flamer.

About the build I expected to see for that unit, unfortunately.

[HlynkaCG]

Honestly I think that "Stock +" on the panther will be the build to beat.

The panther needs to have its ERPPC quirks enhanced A LOT. Right now, its useless.

You'd be better off with 2 SRM4, probably.

Though honestly, in my first 2 matches the quirks are underwhelming. The ERPPC still doesn't feel like the long-range sniper gun it's supposed to be.


At this point I'm thinking about just saying eff it and using 2 ERLL and screwing the quirks.

Also, replace the +15% missile range with an additional +15% missile cooldown (total +30% cooldown).

ERPPC MLX finds your lack of faith disturbing...He has no quirks to speak of.

[Alwrathandabout42ninjas]

A notable mention on the Enforcer is it has additional structure on the legs so it wont be as easy to put it down from legging as some other mediums, which is a good thing.

I would also like to know how hot the 2x ER PPC build is.

[ThrashInc]

I'm running ERPPC LPL atm instead, using both...it's kinda hot.

was just on a few **** teams so I'm unsure how I feel about it yet.

The only problem with this build is that you've removed one shield arm to protect your side torso when you're rotating for damage. With an XL engine, you've just given even faster access for destruction. Why aim for spindly legs when you can kill the side torso faster?

I'm just building mine to harass assaults at range. ERPPC and LRM5
