Because this game cries out! It cries out for more....CO-MAN-DO!

From Sarna:
  • COM-5S The COM-5S was introduced in 3050 and was the first Commando to feature Star League technology. Its new Cyclops MultiTasker 10 Targeting System links an Artemis IV Fire Control System to the Coventry 90 mm SRM-6, which replaces the Shannon Six-Shooter, and exchanges the SRM-4 with a Coventry T4H Streak SRM-2 launcher. Additionally, the chassis has been upgraded with Endo Steel, the armor has been upgraded to Ferro-Fibrous, andCASE has been added to protect the ammunition. The variant is also equipped with a new communications system called Cyclops 14.[7] BV (1.0) = 504, BV (2.0) = 557[15]

This is only a pipedream until PGI does the dynamic visual hardpoints on the Commando.

The difference between this and other Commandos is LT being the missile hardpoint instead of the CT, allowing for better missile options on the side. The CT has the most protection, but is also the most constricting.

So what does this commando bring that others have not already? It looks like to me that it has only two missile systems as weapons. Unless i am missing something?

I assume it would have some backup small/medium lasers. The commandos that we have can already do that stuff though.

So does this commando bring anything new?

Oh looks like Deathlike answered me. It is not a huge difference though.

Very well. If you feel the 5S brings nothing to the table then...

...WE DEMAND THE COMMANDO 1C!!!!!!
  • COM-1C This version removed all the missile racks and replaced them with an Autocannon/2 with a ton of ammunition. It appears to have been an experiment in providing direct fire support. BV (2.0) = 458[10]

TBH, I've heard people want the ballistic Commando before.

The issue IMO is the state of "2MGs" being terrible at the moment.

OK, we're all agreed then.

WE DEMAND A MARAUDER 2 WITH A SMALL BAY DOOR IN ONE LEG THAT LETS US SWITCH TO A COMMANDO WITH 8MGs + ECM + JJs!

Check-mate PGI!

The COM-1C is hilarious to play on table top in particular a full lance of Comics.The just isn't much the enemy can do about them unless you run out of map.

In Mwo though? the base config for the 1C would suck but 6-8 MGs....
