I dont want the Hammerhands I want the Warhammer.

I think i'd want the Hammerhands MORE than the Warhammer. Why?

Hammerhands is a 75tonner.
Also it has Jump Jets (not that they matter in MWO, but if they ever were fixed, it'd be great)

Maybe they will 'fix' it by releasing the AWS-9Ma with the command console and ecm.....

I would just like it to be on par with how well the Zeus seems to be doing.

Uh..huh.

I used to brawl with a Catapult C1.. lol. 2 LLasers, 2 MLasers, 2 SRM4s+ART and a big XL. It was pretty decent too.

Those days are long gone.

And is 3/5/3.... The Warhammer is 4/6 so notably faster.

Correction: *barely* faster.
Besides, it's MWO, you can easily swap an engine for a bigger one

I think we found something we both agree on there Johnny.

I'd like them to use this as the base for a Warhammer:

Looks about the same loadout as the Thug. 2xPPCs and 2xSRM racks. I built one out of an awesome too btw.... Works well.

My Awesome ran 85 kph. It carried a LRM10 (annoyance) an ER PPC, 5 Medium Lasers and no less than 23 DHS.
I out heatsink-ed the enemy in any brawl...

It had a KDR of 3,5....

Now that you reminde....

No, it´s ok. It is ok.
I just...got something in my eye.

I would also like to see all the unseen reappear in MWO but you would have to rename them all (DOOMHAMMER)and make them just different enough not to be noticed by HG.



P.S OP best Awesome build I use 5 medium pulse laser and 2 LRM20 just use as support mech unless lights find you then pulse laser them to death works for me.

Well it's the Warhammer IIC-4 so 80t clan beast....

The IIC 3 was not well-received by the Clan's buyers, so they went back to the drawing board and devoted a significant amount of energy and resources to this variant. Almost completely reworked from the ground up, the IIC 4 has a different aesthetic from the original, but its communication systems and weapons have been upgraded to top-of-the-line models, unlike the traditional view of second-line 'Mechs. The old ER PPCs were swapped out for a pair of new Type DDS "Kingston" models, while the secondary weapons were stripped out. They were replaced by a pair of System 4 ATM-6 launchers and a Series 1 Mk. III ER Small Laser.

Yup, and you could do that to the Warhammer too., and not have to give up ammo... just dump the MG's and their ammo, swap to DHS, and Endo, so all the must have stuff...

sorry OP, classic case of L2P

Awesome wrecks fools if you play it right

That was also when it felt like PPCs did something besides turning off ECM. I don't know exactly what changed as far as the 'feel' of it but back then the PPCs felt like getting hit by an AC/20 and now they feel like being tickled with static.

The name isn't the problem, it's the model of the WHM-6 family, MAD-3 family and so on... Well maybe the Valkyrie is the rare case of name and model....

which is sad, as the AWS is supposed to be a line holder, notorious for it's thick hide, and feared for it's triple PPC punch.

Sadly, we don't have THAT Awesome. (Though I do love how this version looks)

Don't hate the player, (continue to) hate the game

Has anyone done side by side comparisons of the Zeus and the Awesome? I'd love to see those pictures.

[Lightfoot]

I have been telling PGI the same thing since Summer 2012 closed beta. They have buffed it, but when the CT is as large as the Awesome's it takes Armor and Structure buffs and a lot of it because there is this escalating damage factor when no players ever miss a Mech's Center Torso from any range. So it needs much more extra armor and structure to come close to an Assault role and it could never out-class the Victor which has no extra armor.

It's much less the armor and structure and much more the size of the CT hit-box that makes a mech tough.

Now I don't understand why the Atlas gets such a tiny CT hit-box and the Awesome's is so big when by PGI's own balancing the smaller, lighter a mech is, the smaller the CT gets. Did two different teams make these mechs?

The Zeus suffers from the same over-sized CT hit-box, though not quite as bad. What works for the Zeus is never face more than one opponent at a time because no one ever misses the Zeus's CT. So step in front of 2-3 mechs, even with other teammate mechs alongside and the Zeus's CT armor is gone in just a few seconds sometimes. Get 1v1's by terrain or straggler mechs and the Zeus holds it's own. Same for the Awesome.

I rather like the awesome, its a support mech not really a front liner

actually if they called that the warhammer I would like that as a design for it, would be so so much better than the Battlemaster reseen

[Jetfire]

The Awesome needs to be played as a fire support mech, use your speed to fire from cover and get positioning advantage. Do not go toe to toe with a DWF. It can be very effective played right and I love mine, just don't get around to them that often. The 8T is a beast with LRMs and ERLL's.
