What variants of the Jagermech are we going to see in MW:O? I did a forum search but couldn't find it anywhere.

The A, DD, and S models are the only ones available in 3050 as far as I know.

So we get the Dakka model (standard S model)

The LRM mix model (wait till SRMs are put on it)

And the technotastic model (DD) with it's UAC5s and MPLs.

Magical.

Least the dual guass model won't be released until 3054. Though we might see a time skip after the clan invasions (if they ever come).

We'll see what happens.

no need to wait for the stock model with dual gauss, any of the three promised Jager variants can easily load a pair of gauss rifles

The real question is are we only going to see the 65 ton versions or will we get some of the 70 ton jagermechs as well?

According to the Master Unit List the first 70 ton JagerMech (JM7-D) was not put into production until 3057.

Yep. One of the first things people looked at was "Hey, this has a K2's weight and plenty of room for twin Gauss."

In a sense, it's also going to feel pretty comfortable to 'Phract pilots, since the arm-mount ballistics and torso energy weapons let you build along similar (if more lightly armed) lines.

Will there be a hero version of the Jagermech? If so, I'll need to get more MC... :D

I do not see difference between JM6-S and JM6-DD.
I mean I can see difference in innitial loadout but HPoints looks same for me...

I've read about the jagermech and I'm now less excited. The variants seem to all have 4 ballistic slots, 2 in both arms, and recommended builds are two ac5 and two ac2. We already know from cataphrac 4X that those builds are as craptastic as it gets. And on top of it, we have 5 ton less to work with. Unless they introduce new ballistic weapons in the patch, I don't see any reason to get the jagermech. Can someone name one reason? (double gauss build can already be made better on either K2 or 4X)

Well...

Why should player change from Catapult to Jagermech? Both mechs have nearly the same hardpoints (as it seems), if you compare the Jagermech to the CPLT-K2. Both can snipe due to their upper mounted weapons. Both weight the same.

What makes the Jagermech "unique"?

Looks nice anyway...

Don't you all get the point? It has no lower arm and hand actuators, it means it will fit two AC20 in its arms. Like a Boomcat, but it will also fit an XL engine, so more speed, armor and ammo than a Boomcat, and the ability to aim lower and higher than that. I feel epic QQ rising upon its release, because people doesn't want to hear that it's all balanced out by its increased engine vulnerability.

So we will see exact one variant of the Jagermech. The A20 variant...
A waste of developing time I guess.

Answer to you both:
JM6-A, 2 ballistic, 2 missile, and 2 energy hardpoints.
That's what I want.
and you don't get this as a Catapult.

Really wish it would get 4x Missile hardpoints. With a 15-tube launcher hanging off in the breeze collecting incoming fire, it sucks to use a single SRM in it for it's graphical size.

The ONLY upside I can see is the higher mount to the arm hardpoints means it will shoot over hills that a 'phract will shoot into the side of. But if the tradeoff is taking less firepower, yeah, I don't think I'll bother with it.

Although it does sport missile hardpoints that most 'phracts don't.
