Anyone know which is more CW friendly: Crab or Grasshopper? a link to a good smurfy build would give me some direction. Thanks MWO community! (PGI, good job, c-bill sales had been lacking for a while, this is good. Now all I need is a cockpit item that gives any mech I want a 10% c-bill boost for 500 MC... just think about it)
I see Grasshoppers in CW all the time. Various builds. As an example however, (and I don't recall which specific version it is, but one with 7 hard points) one version can be made nearly identical to a Thunderbolt 5SS MPL boat...but with jump jets. Also the tall skinny profile of the hopper makes it dang xl friendly.
Don't see many Crabs in CW, but I think that has more to do with how the tonnage limits encourage 4 heavies, more than anything to do with the Crab being good or bad. They are tanky as heck so I don't see why you wouldn't want to run em if you have 50 tons to use. Also, a jumping Crab is the best Crab.
