I'm also 70% expecting people to decry that the Wolfhound has "broken hitboxes."

To be fair... PGI has yet to release a humanoid shaped light mech that didn't have hit reg and hit box issues...

Jenner iic?
Streaks? What?

You guys all mean the Oxide iic.

Yeah, I can't build a satisfying streak Jenny-IIC. It will be severely hampered on its ability to fight another weight classes as has been said by others here.

A jousting Jenny (Oxide) IIC on the other hand, seems to be more appealing.

Out of Meta since Closed Beta

It rhymes!

Seriously though, the Jenner IIc will end up being a niche thing unless PGI ever decides to ever buff this AND the original Jenner (unless people like the Firestarter quirks dominating the Jenner's meh quirks).

1. The Arctic Cheetah hype is way overdone. It's not that amazing, it's got limited tonnage to play with. *Shoot the legs*, they aren't quirked that hard.

2. All the IIC mechs, unless some changes are coming in the balance sweep, are going to benefit from both Clan tech and from non-fixed-equipment....I'm still trying to wrap my head around the potential gimmicks that could be done with a Hunchback IIC under the current MWO construction rules. *shudder*

Maybe finally they'll nerf clan streak range or something.

hahaha, for all 3 points
it's amazing; it has more than enough podspace and hardpoints for ecm and 5-6 spl/4 ml/2 ll builds; its legs have a huge quirk, +15 structure when it's native structure is 14, it's + 107% of leg structure!

hunch iic will be the first good clan dakka medium being able to run some of my dream medium dakka builds...

as a streakboat it will be mediocre, definitely worse than stormcrow being slower than 100 kmh (98 with spead tweak and max engine) and having just 4 launchers max (and 2 lasers, scr can have 7 lasers and 4 launchers if you want, lol - scr-b left arm, scr-prime head, rest from scr-d, though imo 5 launchers are better)... jj though would give it some edge but we already have a jumping streakboat with more hardpoints (5 launchers max) and stuff, it's summoner

and if anything streaks need a buff, not nerf

All hail CStreak 4/6 boating speedy Light. Perhaps only then will the dreaded Arctic Cheetos dwindle in Puglandia. Wishful thinking, probably.

I wonder why every new/paid for mech gets hitbox issues...

I r see a pattern hea..

Mostly because PGI doesn't have anywhere near enough people to do comprehensive hit reg checks. So they use the live servers to collect that data and fix it as soon as they can (or right before it goes on sale for cbills).

If you are going to Run a Jenner IIC , Run it to its full damage potential and hold tight.
