mind you, if the Rifleman packed the firepower that it's Destroid Defender progenitor did...... with it's insane 78mm "Anti-Everything" Cannons.......and capture the visual feel of this


well..then I might go against my better judgement.

but if it gets the wimpy gun arms the Jager is currently cursed with.... no thank you.

Neither.

We are getting two heavy unseen back to back. Other weights need love.

But, if this were a court of law and I HAD to answer

Agreed, and thanks for the answer, appreciate it.
(Phoenix Hawk would be interesting, but sadly enough it's design has been used significantly... so it may not be the same model as it was before... :/)

to topic, rifleman.

Thank you too. (It will come, Kodiak, fear the Wrath of the bears claws!!!)

[Mechteric]

Both... but they should do another weight class for a break from the heavy mech area.


Phoenix Hawk would be a great choice, for example, or the Valkyrie. Longbow maybe as well. Unfortunately the Stinger and Wasp wouldn't be worthwhile in this game since 20 tonners would be garbage.


But when they do get back to the heavy mechs, Crusader would also be nice.

don't care want both. And anyone who doesn't can suck it!

[Ascaloth]

I want the Flashman.
And the Whitworth.
And the Assassin...
And the Hornet, just to have more Locusts-like around to be one-shot-KO
And the Bushwacker (are we in 3051 yet?)
And the Annihilator Gauszilla of Doom (want this one BADLY)
Did i mentioned the Sentinel? Want that too.
I'd want the Clint over the Enforcer, but since the Enforcer is here, bye Clint Eastwood.
Archer? Pff...I'd take the Bombardier.
Rifleman? Why? We already have the Jagermech which is pretty much the same.

But I want all of this after a decent CW and Assault Mode.

[ChapeL]

Ultimate Meta mech

But to answer the actual question: The Archer because it's a playstyle I can't do to my liking on IS mechs. ( I love my MDD Prime )

Still, I agree with Bishop that the thing is likely going to be a death trap unless a radical departure from the original art is attempted.

[LordBraxton]

I used to pay $80 for 4 IS mechs each with a 30% variant

Now I am asked to pay $160 for the same thing

yay unseen?

Archer next, with morgan kell hero

[Merit Lef]

Archer please. First mech I ever piloted in TT.

[DaZur]

Archer or rifleman?...

You guys keep spelling Hammerhands wrong.

I don´t like the argument. The Vindicator can do everything that the phoenix hawk can do, at the same Tonnage and the same humanoid mech design. So by this comparison, the Archer is heavyer, humanoid and has real arms. in this case, there is more need for an archer in MWO than for an phoenix hawk...
Anyways i would buy both of them, Archer first, then phoenix hawk.

Back on Topic, for me the Archer!

Nope. Phoenix Hawk is faster. and 2 models feature ECM. Fail argument!

Wouldn't that create another ECM implosion?

Oh I do fear the ECM implosions...

Remember the Hellbringer? ECM, ECM everywhere, and it wasn't pretty.

I think you remember that Bishop....

Spacing Errors, hate them.

[xVLFBERHxT]

OK, so its all about hardpoints, hitboxes, ECM and speed? I think i see the Point .

[Clint Steel]

Archer, but only because I had one as a toy

little concerned that the MAC II seems to be inappropriately touching the Tomahawk......

[MischiefSC]

Crusader. Phoenix Hawk. Or bust.

[TKSax]

LOL you guys are funny.. town hall so of course that means there is a probably means new mech pack...

Stinger or Wasp
Phoenix Hawk
Archer
Longbow or Mad II

Phoenix pack II Town Hall oh I mean Community warfare town hall...

[MischiefSC]

What I really would love would be a mixed Whammy and Archer group in a Death ball so we can do a Daedalus Maneuver.

If we get Morgan Kell's hero Archer, do we get the magic Plot Device shield that prevents anybody from ever shooting us too? Or is that an MC-only module?

We already have! It's called LAG

Edit: Or that teleport thing that happens when you collide with another mechs...
