With the Clan sale on I have 4 options: 1) Buy two T-Wolves to add to TBR-C( Basic). 2) Sell the T-Wolf and buy 3 Hellbringers. 3) Sell the TBR-C and buy 3 Warhawks.4) Skip the sell save $$$ and buy the Ebon Jaguar when it comes out for MC.

I have 3 elited Stormcrows and 3 Adders( two need elited) to serve as backups.

What option would you choose and why???

The Twolf is still the best heavy mech in game, cw or not.
CW sometimes favores hellbringers due to ecm , but if you can cooperate with a team build I'd go with twolfs, so 2 timber 1 crow and an adder is a good general deck.

timbers can carry stellar weaponry, while maintaining a good profile to spread damage and fast movement both in general speed and it's own motion and cornering, including jump jets if you wish.

warhawks are fast assaults with good tonnage for weapons with mild to moderate quirks, brought down by 10 locked heat syncs.

ebon jaguars have lots of free tonnage, but less armor then the timber wolf but with a similar profile and speed, hardpoints are spread wide and somewhat high, cannot run jumpjets.

hellbringers bring 4 decently high mounted energy, ECM, and one (maybe two) decently high ballistics, however they lack the tonnage for most large ballistic builds.
i suggest timbers, over hellbringers.

You can't bring 3 Timberwolves to CW because the limit is 240 tons. 3 Timberwolves weigh 225 tons and there are no 15 ton 'mechs. You CAN bring 3 Hellbringers and either a Shadowcat or an Ice Ferret (or anything lighter). You must always bring 4 'mechs.

I think the Mad Cat/Twolf is the best mech period...it has all the goodness of a missile Catapult AND a K2 in the same package.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Clan mechs. But seen a lot of Mad Cats in action. They're nasty.

Thanks folks I will acquire and master the T-Wolves. On my wish list are the Hellbringers,Ebon Jaguars,War Hawks, and Highlander-IICs. I think the playlist will be an ADR-D with twin LRMs, and ER MLs, a TBR-C or S with ER MLs,SRMs and LRMs,and JJs, SCR-P with twin ERLLs,3 ER MLs, and LRMs,finally a TBR-S with 1 LPL, 3 ER MLs,1 UAC-5 and JJs.

Well, it's a start, and later if you plan to win more you will move on to the laser vomit .
