Mmmm look at them high mounts next to the cockpit. I hope they go with the taller slender looking version of the TRO. I don't like how squat this Kingfisher is personally.

Does anyone know why the Kingfisher has two cockpits???

Formally request the following Variants

Prime
B
C
F (HAG-30 replaced with Gauss)

FupDup: Fire Moth has more reason to be in this game then Fire Falcon or Locust IIC!

Sadly, the Turkina is pulling away from the Kingfisher. The Fire Falcon gained some ground but is still far away, similar situation for the Night Gyr vrs Linbacker portion. The Blanner is winning the mediums.

This makes me very disappointed, the only good mech that is in the lead is the Night Gyr.

How in the hell is the Blanner winning over say the Huntsman or any other medium that doesn't suck?
Looks to me that people are not doing their homework on these mechs.

Because like many mech choices, people vote for nostalgia or looks, not on the meta capability of them.

Yeah I get that and understand where they are coming from but one of the number 1 complaints on the forums is a lack of viable and good Clan mechs, which sadly appears that will not change any time soon with these picks.

A 20-ton light mech. No, really. It's one of the weight classes that still aren't represented among Clan mechs, and the Fire Moth adds not just speed, but also high weapon mounts in the arms, which I'm certain some people would love. There's a variety of weapon mounts two, with the Prime to C variants having all 3 types between them.

None of the Omnis being voted on will really do that outside the Night Gyr (Nova Cat is better) which is in a weight class that doesn't really need more viable (and semi-unique) mechs.

Untrue. Very, very untrue. Huntsman, for example, makes for a good medium mech option to the Stormcrow. It directly adds to the viable variety in the weight class. Mediums need all the variety they can get.

The Hunchback is already the alt Stormcrow, that's why it doesn't really add anything unique. We've been over this already, the only thing unique about the Huntsman is its ability to mix missiles/ballistics/energy a bit better than the Hunchback, but it won't be as good as the Hunchie or the SCrow.

Huntsman would be good, same for most of the 40t mechs. Lights and Assaults I would agree will bring little of anything good.

I disagree. The Stormcrow does mixed loadout and flexibility via omnipods well, the Hunchback IIC does specific loadout well but is extremely squishy. The Huntsman has the hitboxes and the omnipod flexibility to bridge the gap. More uniquely, the Pouncer adds a 40 ton mech that works like a small Nova, but faster - or a large Adder but with twice the potential firepower and jump jets. In either event, something worthwhile is being added that is viable.

The Black Lanner is not, nor will it ever be, a good mech in MWO due to 11.5 tons of pod space on a 55 ton mech. This mech adds nothing. Yet that mech is in the lead for mediums. I don't even....

Nova Cat cannot do dual gauss... I would rather have the Night Gyr if I had to pick one, but I do want both.

It may do them well, but it isn't what it does best.

If you abuse the main strength of the Hunchback they aren't quite as squishy. Long range with as high of mounts/cockpit as this thing has makes it a very powerful poke mech, much like the SCat but trading speed for firepower.

Where the mounts are matter a lot, lest it become another Gargoyle. It could become a Clan BK, but doubtful since that is the SCrows job.

That's a very misleading statement, it has near double the hardpoints, but not double the tonnage. It is also very slow for a 40 tonner. Just like all the other 40 tonners, it will need quirks.

Agreed, the Night Gyr would add more to the game, not saying I am against the Nova Cat, I like the Nova Cat and think it would be a good mech, but I think the Night Gyr would be better choice right now.

I don't know about that Gas....

Nova Cat Charlie configruation has room for two UAC/5's, one LB-5X and two LPL.... that should give it enough room (read mounting space) for dual clan gauss....
