[MechPorn]

I thought about doing a video for the rifleman, but ehhh....

[Pariah Devalis]

Pretty mech. Glad to see it in game, along with the other Unseen. One more mech type to add to my kill list.

[TELEFORCE]

The Rifleman looks great!

[ball0fire]

does it go really fast? it must go fast

it has a spoiler on the back

[Luscious Dan]

This one really snuck up on me. Russ tweeting about 1 week until patch day should have been a clue

[Navid A1]

60 ton jager?... 60 ton jager.

[Wildstreak]

Looks nice but STs easy to hit and antenna will help hit CT.

That 5 tons may come in handy when/if they drop max tonnage in cw.... again..

[LegendaryArticuno]

The model doesn't look too bad, good job PGI (still not buying it though)... also why does it have a spoiler?

[Chados]

I like it.

The "spoiler" is the antenna for its communications system.

Well, that thing is definitely NOT XL friendly. Look at the side torsi!

Fluffy says it was designed as an anti-air 'Mech, so I think it's supposed to be an enhances sensor array or something silly like that. Looks a bit like the radar boom on old ships.

Designed as an anti-aircraft platform and long-range fire support unit, the JagerMech was intended to correct several perceived faults of the original Rifleman.

[Solis Obscuri]

Apparently lack of armor was not one of those perceived faults.

Nevertheless, the two 'mechs have quite a few similarities, though the Jagermech variants tend to focus on mostly ballistic weaponry, supplemented with some energy weapons and/or missiles, whereas most Rifleman configurations carry heavy energy-based firepower, usually supplemented with ballistic weaponry.

I suspect the Rifleman will tend to run a bit hotter, but otherwise there will be some overlap in terms of loadout and hill-peeking potential.

360 degree torso rotation, yes, no, maybe???
