Y r they a no go the mech wasn't made for in close combat look at the armor it comes with

Tell me, why are you assuming a dual AC/20 build would keep the armor the same as the mech came with?

No build does that.

why TF do you quote my posts without even reading them?
you can double the armor on the JM6-S!


"so many"? all of them come with just 10.
1.5 million? you have to add those for every mech coming with single heat sinks, and most do.
don't want to pay these? make a gaussjager, that one does not need double heat sinks.

you obviously don't read posts you quote.

I am hoping we see a good range of pitch up on the arms of this mech. The Jagermech is supposed to be good anti aircraft so if it can't aim up very high I will be very disappointed.

Why is it I want a Blaze of Glory Hero Mech for the Jager with a ridiculous number of Ballastic and Energy Hardpoints I can load out with Machine Guns and medium lasers?
Like stick 6 Machine guns in each arm and 6 medium lasers in the right and left torsos?
Then paint it up with Black Paint job with Red and Orange Flames...

Sigh its pretty simple math...
Ac 2 6 Tons 1 Slot
Ac 5 8 Tons 1 Slot
Ac 20 14 Tons 10 Slots

You can flat out rip out the Ac2s and Ac5s and replace them with Ac20s...
Which keeps the armor exactly the same....

Your remaining problem is the lack of armor which is solved by replacing the standard engine with an XL.
Or You can go all Endo Steel and Ferro possibly getting the same result.

So with an 260 Xl you can max out the armor slap in Ac20s and have 2 medium lasers.
Or Gauss Rifles and Medium lasers...

Or you can go all LB-10X and Large lasers in the torsos....
Or if they let you go all crazy and make yourself a Jagermech III....

Or take the DD version rip out the 9 ton Ultra Ac-5 the 6 Ton Ac2
Instant 15 tons for Gauss Rifles. (Or 14 tons for Ac20s 2 extra tons of ammo or armor to taste or rip out the 4 medium pulse lasers and replace them with Ac20s and Large lasers....)

So yes Veronica Santa Claus is correct you can stick Ac20s on a Jagermech and its crappy armor will stay exactly the same...

I do hope some of you keep your builds trade secrets. Best not make the best load-out and speak of it, only to see it turned against you.

Looking back, seems Jagermech is late according to their old release schedule. I wonder if they will ever release on time, but the urge to say "it's coming soon" is brought about by the desire to keep fans interested while knowing you probably won't meet the deadline.

Saying 1 month rather than 2 makes 2 months feel like 1.5 months. I calculate the effect with this: ("Days until deadline" + "Actual Release Date") / 4 x (2 x "Extra Multiples of Release Timeline vs. Deadline). In the above example, this would be (1+2) / 4 x (2 x 1) = 1.5 months.

This equation also shows how a release date of 1 month drawn out to 4 would feel like waiting 10 to an expectant fan. Of course, modifiers can be added for things such as the amount of information you leak or do not leak, what that info contains, and how/why you release it.

You could do all that..

Or you could put in...
270XL Engine
Endosteel
12 tons of standard armor
Dual AC/20s with 6 tons of ammo
Dual medium lasers
And this little thing will hit 74 kph tweaked

Jagermech says "Arms? What arms? I have 5 torsos."



Edit: Jumped the gun, I was bewildered by Arm Lock and it's default being enabled.

The JagerMech looks way to smal. Its an 65 ton mech and looks like a 40t mech.
It need to be scaled a liddl bit more.
