The Urbanmechs half cousin! Good to see the Jager, and if we can fit 'em you could easily make a Rifleman out of this thing.

Hey!
JAGGERMECH here is closest thing for Rifleman many people (inc. me) can buy in MWO atm.
So if i want to use it as wannabe Rifleman i will cladly do it, as i like the newer Rifleman AC version...
Anti air or not, u can still use it against targets at groundlevel, (Historical fact is that AA was also used against softer targets) maybe against the AIRSTRIKE commanders will call on your mechs head.

It's not just you. I thought it was a rifleman too, till i read the name.

S!

I had to go and check my MWIV Mercs MechBay. I think it's darned close to the Black Jack in design. I used the BJ in 3025 with AC/Missile load out. The MWIV Mercs BJ II has 2 Ballistic hard points on each arm with 3 slots in each. 2 Missile hard points on the shoulders with 2 slots in each and 2 single slot Omni Points in the Left and Right torso. That JagerMech sure looks a lot like the BlackJack I know and love. If she's all AC, I know I'll take a serious look at adding one to my MechBay.

Regards,

WarHorse....Out.

good mod with 3049 tech? swap 1 AC5 for another AC 2 (that gives + 2 tons) up the other AC5 for a UAC5 (-1 ton)

add another ton of armor; you have better use of your AC2 ammo +50% more 'uber' range firepower, and just as much close in. The cost-to-add is suuuuper cheap as well

Other good mod? drop to 4x AC2s (+5 tons after you swap 1t AC5 ammo for 1t AC2 ammo) add 3 tons armor and a pair of MLs. still got alot of dakka, but you are now actually dangerous up close (and MUCH) better armor +50%. if the crits won't allow adding +2 mls..well...just add even more armor!!!

Or drop 2 AC-2s and go all UAC-5s. If I were to ever have to use the Jagermech in tabletop I'd do that.

[Douglas Reichel]

Yeah, I'm guessing they might've hybridized the two since they can't actually use the Rifleman, or the Warhammer, or the Marauder. We may see other combo-hybrids of those as well as a result, also because obviously certain mech designs wouldn't actually work and thus need to be updated.

I'm probably going to create a modified DG variant of the JagerMech.
For those that don't know a DG variant swaps the four auto cannons for 2 Gauss rifles and medium pulse lasers for basic mediums. I plan, if the internal space is as limited as I think, on switching the Ferro Fibrous armor for Endosteel.
Note: This is if it uses the JM6-DD model as described in the 3050 TRO.

Well, anything with Dual Gauss Rifles is going to ruin someone's day, somewhere. They just happened to have stuck those on a Jager

[Nazraith]

Sooo true. It was on a hill so it had line of sight accross the entire map and he "no moved" most of the game. He dealt out a lot of damage, but we still won the objective. Too bad my Tempest TMP-3G got cored in the 7th round, but I took a couple mechs with me at least.

[Voidblade]

Something wrong?

[Eternal Hunter]

Nice, missed this one. Just let me fit in lots of Ultra AC\5's on that baby

[Sean Agilwulf]

This thing looks awesome! Me likey.

[Sean Agilwulf]

Awesome! Me likey! It may look alittle like the Rifleman... But is that really a problem? I'd call it a compliment. :-)

[3isen]

MY new favorite mech.......missle boats??? Pfft.....GUN BOATS!!!

[Zyne]

Not sure if anyone has posted this already, might have missed it ^^

Would a Jagermech with Jumpjets be capable of killing people with Jagerbombs?.... I can almost hear the TS and Vent conversations...."Death from Above.... NO! JAGERBOMB!!!!!!"
