Its all personal tastes really. Some will view mechs in a comp sense and some will do it for the tt nostalgia, and etc. I view them as eh more mechs to use. Most mechs will always do "one thing another does better" and i hate that and that shouldnt be the focal point.
Just on a personal opinion i think filling the gaps is good, but I think we are hitting the point where new mechs arent really adding anything if there is a lack of gaming substance.
There is really not a whole lot that any Mech
CAN add to the game. It is all pretty much just more of the same with a different skin. If you start adding more powerful Mechs then you make everything that has come before obsolete and unusable. New Tech can add to the game but there you run the same risk that something is going to be too good and make everything else meh.
I do not feel that every Mech that is introduced needs to be Tier 1 or even 2. It is unreasonable to think that every piece of equipment in an army is balanced and viable. Sometimes you just have stuff because it is cheap and performs a function adequately. It sucks if your life depends on a piece of equipment that is not new, shiny and state of the art but in fact that is the way it normally is. You deal with it and adapt.
I tend to do the same thing in this game. I play Clan pretty much exclusively yet I do not own a Timber Wolf or a Stormcrow or an Artic Cheeta. Somehow I get more satisfaction from being successful in equipment that is not considered the "must have" best.
I will pre-order the Viper and I would buy the Black Lanner if it were introduced. The Viper will fill the role of a fast light for me with superior firepower. Or in other words, it will be my Clan Cicada.Other than that, I have been looking at the Mad Dog for a while but i want to wait until the rescale goes live and also look for a decent sale.
