I'm thinking of getting a 2C pack. I'm not sure if i want to just get the Jenner or get the Hunchback. Has anyone tried either?

[Dan Baxter]

Of the IIC 'mechs, I managed to get the Jenner IIC's (with early adopter variant) and the Hunchback IIC's (no early adopter variant).

In general the IIC 'mechs seem a touch fragile compared to the Arctic Cheetah and the Stormcrow, but the lighter clan weaponry means the IICs can bring quite a bit of firepower to the fight. If you buy the Hunchback IIC pack you'll get the Jenners as well (and if you don't want the Jenners, you can sell the two Jenners that are not the base IIC).

The only reason I would not recommend getting the Jenner IIC pack would be that you can now get the Jenner IICs for c-bills. In which case the question would come down to whether you want a Jenner IIC that earns 30% more c-bills or not. I personally enjoy both the Jenner and Hunchback IICs, and either package is a good buy, in my subjective opinion.

Well i enjoy their IS counterpart.

If you enjoy the IS counterpart of these mechs, you'll like these. The hit boxes are very similar and they play much the same. I'd agree with Dan. The Jenner is available for c-bills and the Hunchback will be within the next month. I'd recommend buying them with c-bills.

the Jenner IIC is great, certainly in the top 4 Light Mechs.

the Hunchback IIC is also good, but seems a bit less durable than a well handled IS Hunchie, consider it as a trade off, significantly more firepower for slightly less durability compared to the IS Hunchback

My Hunchback IIC guide.
I have the Jenners but not played them much so I am not someone you want advice from on them.

[Ace Selin]

The Jenner IIC(O) & Hunchback IIC(O) are some of my favorite mechs to play. I highly recommend them both.

The early adopter offer was very good: 80 $ and 16 mechs.
Now you would buy 12, becuase the "extra mech" will be available only for c-bills, when they will come out for c-bills.

Anyway I didn't buy them for 2 reasons:
1) reaading the tables only 1 or 2 variants of each chassis are good, hardpoint-wise
2) and becuase I read they were going to release them without quirks

(do u remember when the hunchies, or the jenner, or the onions were without quirks?)
