Oh look. PGI actually uses their own forum. I guess there is still hope that they will use it for other things besides promoting more mech sales like, let's say, reading the player feedback so people with good idea won't have to spam Russ' Twitter for communicating with the team.

Cool. I'll be getting that, just like the Warhammer and Marauder.

[Kjudoon]

Thats the prettiest jagermech ever.

[MischiefSC]

Not going to lie.

My nipples perted.

I know I'm not alone. It's okay guys, we'll be awkward together.

Oh, so the next robbit actually will be the Rufflesman.

Well hey, at least the high-mounted ST lasers give it some kind of advantage over the Jager/Firebrand.

Hitboxes look like another problematic case of "Do I want huge side torsos that make XL suicidal" or "Do I want small side torsos that make me die in seconds."

What about the fact that it has energy in the arms?
Or the fact the other variants ONLY have energy arms? (Expect 2 to 3 energy per arm due to hardpoint inflation we may even see 4 depending on how much this lighter dakka platform is)

Well, let me put my opinions here:

my post from the ultimate mech discussion thread said:

Aw, i was hoping for an Archer, i would by that. but the Jagermech 1.0 Rifleman just looks so sexy, i just might break out my wallet. (but let me see the info page on variants and hero first)

Really, those gun arm assemblies look menacing!

And we have another machine to look forward to in Battletech!

Jager-chan finally has the chance to be noticed by Rifleman-senpai!

I love this mech. I know that we will never have it. IT is about the only IS Heavy that can give the Timby a good run. The variants:

2B/1E w ECM (AEM-01)
1B/7E (AEM-002)
3M/5E (AEM-003)
1B/4M/3E (AEM-004)

As you can see, all four variants are extremely different. You can play a laserboat / missileboat / as well as a dual AC/10 brawler. Further, being equipped with JJs and ECM natively provides all sorts of other options. Based on the illustrations, it has near jagermech high mounted arms. The only other platform with as much variety would be the Catapult with the energy-heavy Jester and ballistic-possible K2. This might just be the answer to the Hellbringer out of the box. Of concern though would be the rather large torso profile, but again, not much different from the HBR.

It's almost as if there's a Jagermech hero variant in MWO that has energy in its arms.

Yea i suppose the rifleman technicall is more senior

[BLOOD WOLF]

The Rifleman is sub-par, I wonder how it will be treated when the more venerable Jager is on the field?

Nggh, I was so looking forward to having a proper lunch today rather than noodles...

Maybe some of the recent decisions have something to do with the recent lack of enthusiasm.

Have a feeling PGI has beached a few "whales" lately.

this and The jager is almost the same mech not really anything new.\


and im not going to pick it up either sorry pgi , You should think about advancing the time line and get people excited about mechs. Not just re-branding of what we got now.

[Mordale]

The Mech looks So/So,...NOT going to buy it! I have ALL your mechs but not the WarHammer. I will NOT buy anything else Till you fix the Game! Fix CW!!!!! Not that anyone from PGI cares what I think or Say

Differences include 60v65 ton, at least 1 model had ECM, a couple with JJ, also more than 1E in the arms on several versions.
Also likely to have better targeting abilities once that goes live.
