The Enforcer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to give a hearty hazzar for the Enforcer what a sturdy little chap this is, in fact I would go so far as to say give the Enforcer a missile piont and it could become my one and only ride ... Lovely little chap, not great at any one thing realy ... just good at most things. Now I know specialisation in battle is seen as the way to go ... but realy there is always room for a chassis that you can put in to almost any role ... nice job PGI. ;-)

One missile point? What would you use it for?

I still need to set up my Enforcers. They may be ugly and awkward looking (seriously wish they looked closer to the concept art), but they seem capable.

Maybe once I Elite out these Panthers. They are fun to play.

As a medium pilot I was very excited about the Enforcers and think they look great. Performance wise I have been very underwhelmed. I have tried all types of builds fast slow jumpy or not they just do not fit me "yet". I have struggled to get them elited and have 2 yet to master but once I do I believe they will be dust collectors waiting on fine tuning by the quirk wand.

I can get kills with best game 4k 6a 589dmg but I find I can perform the role so much better in other mechs. I'm sorry but a Cent, GRF or ShD can run circles around the Enf while tanking better and spreading damage better and quality hardpoint locations. I am glad and excited that others find the Enf just awesome and I hope one day I do as well.

I will not throw in the towel until I have the last one mastered but it's not looking great. Now the Panther on the other hand is an awesome beast and I would take a 9R over a Firestarter 9a.

Ive found the opposite of Strafer, after eliting my Enforcers I tried to go back to Cents and... went back to the Enf. Ive found I do better than even my beloved WVRs most games. Probably my new favorite medium.

The Panther, on the other hand, Im struggling with.

Then again, Im primarily a Heavy pilot, so lights are still a mystety to me

Yeah outside of the YLW and its AC20, I can't go back to any of the other Cents.

well, in many ways it pilots like the Centy, but the JJs are huge. SInce I was never one of the masses to strip the ballistic off my Centy anyhow, I guess the ENF just feels pretty natural to me.

I gave it multiple chances with an even bigger number of builds and playstyles. Just never worked very well.

Just like any mech, you can generally do "okay" in it, and even have a few good matches, but for far more effort with fewer rewards than in a "better" mech.

effort is inconsequential, so long as it's fun. Too many of the "better" mechs and builds bore me to tears. To each their own, I suppose. Anything I can run a decent ballistic/PPC combo on, I am generally pretty happy with.

I'm having fun in mine, I just wish that 2 out of 3 variants didn't end up with completely useless quirks.


When I say useless, I actually mean exactly this word.


I can live with LB-10X quirks, but quirks for Velocity and Range for LB-10s are basically meaningless. It's a short range weapon, shooting farther just worsens the spread.

The UAC 5 quirks are mostly OK, except it can't really boat UACs, and -heat for UACs is about as useful as toe nail clippings.


Other than that, good maneuverability, good size, JJs, good hitboxes. It doesn't do anyone thing exceptionally well, but it's a good 50 ton mech overall.
