Not only did I like in TT, but it's hardpoints and mobility and geometry would make it a BEAST in MWO.


3 Energy Hardpoints super high, including one above the cockpit, and an equally high Ballistic.
3xERLL + Gauss?

The articulated arms pack Missiles, LRM20s stock, which are great for indirect fire support, but also could easily pack SRMs for anti Light duty and brawling. Especially as they would be the most sensible spot for hardpoint inflation.

The hitbox geometry? Massive arms covering a proportionally small torso area, with the arms packing easily sacrificed weapons, mean that soaking damage should be a snap.

Also? 64 kph top speed, Clan XL durability, and full JJs for mobility, limited jump sniping, etc.

Lastly? It has near full armor, stock, and packs 17 DHS, so it easily has the flexibility. It lacks the MASC of the EXE, and the raw firepower of the DWF, but could conceivably be better than either, or the Kodiak or MadCat mkII.

So yeah...call me a fanboy!

im a bik fan to, so yeah, giv me dat.

Nice art as usual... you know those arms would have just one Missile hardpoint each right ? 'Cause clam OP

Edit: Looking at the 2 and 3 variants on Sarna ( the ones with the HAGs ) I can't decide if something called a Hyper-Assault Gauss rifle would be good in MWO ?

The descriptions seems to make it into an unholy three way hybrid between a Gauss rifle, an LBX AC and a Rotary AC o_O

IICs got hardpoint inflation. It's not an moni.

Commenting on the art, I would submit that the extended barrel of the ErLL over the head present on the TRO art is a large part of the mech's signature looks ( at least as much as the beer barrel lower arms ),

That being said, I understand why you used the MWO standard laser lens but who's to say you can't have that lens at the end of a forward jutting mount ? ( We could say it's to move the ErLL housing and cooling fins away from the cockpit )

Looks realy realy cool.
Its an effin pitty we never will see it ingame soon because it is 10 years in future and got 2 variants with Weapons and tech not implemented in MWO.

2 things... strictly down to personal choice, mind you BUT

1) It's a mech, not a Unicorn
2) 4 ton laser that honking huge just looked stupid IMO.

Timeline and Tech will advance. We may get it someday, we may not.

It's basically a Gauss with the MWO Clan AC Firing mechanic, aka burst fire. Only real advantages I could think of is low heat, and probably won't have the charge mechanic

I've wondered how the HAGS could be implented usefully in mwo... description makes be think of a super ER MG...

[Stingray Productions]

Fire punch! Imagine those arms loaded with SRMs!

[Raven40]

10/10 would bang. Has to be one of my favorites.

You forget the LBX crit-mongering.

Metal Storm. At least, that is how I would expect a HAG to function. Being a burst weapon, I don't suspect it would have a need to have a charge mechanic. Click, and stand in awe as up to 40 individual tiny gauss slugs stream out of you like a swarm of angry bees from a nest.
