Cockpit Preview Videos are live! Enjoy!

Please tell the person behind the videos to stop using wide FOV for preview purposes. He probably thinks its awesome... but its not. its distorted fisheye view.

Yeah I also noticed that... Wave 3 is a solid dropdeck on its own.

Must be just concidence that previous 3 crows+timber drop deck was nerfed just a moment before it's release ;p

That'll probably be common, but I suspect we'll see a lot of variety.

Tbr+3scr happened because so very many clan mechs where very poor, there where few good combinations.

W3 will add great clan mechs at a variety of useful tonnages opening many new options. The arctic cheetah and shadowcat in particular make Clan Assaults MUCH more viable in a drop deck.

2 EBJ, 1 HBR, and an SHC. Bam.

[Cimarb]

I plan on using EBJx3+ACH. The ACH will make EVERY other combination much more common, since we will finally have a light worth taking.

Exactly.

Having a strong 30t option makes other things so much more viable.

Warhawks are an ideal chassis for a lot of things in CW - sturdy, fast, very potent energy options, but currently are difficult to use well because of the opportunity cost. The ACH not only makes a Warhawk entirely viable, but unlike so many options we currently have to deal with it's a very strong choice in and of itself.

Hell, you could take ACH/ACH/WHK/EXE if you felt so inclined, without gimping your team.

I expect a lot of this, and of course 1 EBJ 2 HBR 1 SHC.

Personally... I don't like hellbringers. Picked em up, and I get the whole deal, they just don't *click* for me, don't feel good. Great mech and all, just not me.

Now that we've seen the cockpit is right behind the massive nose-glass on the Executioner..does that mean the head hitbox is THAT HUGE!?!

I dont think so and if it is then it will be soon balanced and smaller. Because we know what happend to the Catapult once and now you can rare make a Headshot there, even on the big Glass like from the Timber or Dire Wolf.

Whats-his-name makes great music, it's a shame we don't battle to it.

Also, as of the last Dev VLog, the cockpits weren't even done.
