Now we know what the next MWO 'Mech is going to be:

SHP-X4 "Omega"




Deploying these eight superheavy monsters is the good way how to use those 1200 tons ...
(or you can mix Ares-, Poseidon- and Orca-class Superheavies)


So, would you pilot this 'Mech?

One light mech would tear it apart

[LORD TSARKON]

150 tons of 3 Gauss Rifles and 2 LB-X10s and moves 32 KPH... and its TWIce the size of a King Crab?

Reminds me of the days I used to put 2 Gauss on my K-2 Catapult and move at 32 KPH.... I always died after the battle because sooo sllloooowwwwwwwww

all you need to know is "3x high mount Gauss Rifle"

anything in the range of that is just simply dead

....I want to know what the next IS mech REALLY is.

[MeiSooHaityu]

Easy pickings once it tries to walk and falls forward on it's face (since it is so front end heavy). As it wiggles trying in vain to get back on it's feet, it will be cored from behind.

So remember, if you get an Omega, don't forget to load up on the rear armor!

The key to battletech hapiness is to more or less ignore the stupidity of everything after the fed com civil war.

The key to battletech bliss is to stay in the succession wars era.

How the heck can you defend your rear? A King Crab with small lasers can keep dancing back there. Best you can do with this mech is to park it against a tall wall and hope some dumb mech-jock waddles into your line of fire.

So.... play it like a direwolf?

[wanderer]

Sadly, it requires tech that doesn't exist until the late 3060's.

And everyone knows they'd strip the Gauss for AC's and just go for a superheavy Dakkageddon.

[Appogee]

What is this I don't even

[pbiggz]

10/10 would drive

[Novakaine]

Lurm bait.

Like I said in my post, it will be face down on the ground. This thing looks as if all of it's tonnage is forward of it's legs. It ain't making it to a wall lol. The rear will be the only part exposed after you face plant, so you might as well survive a bit longer by upping that rear torso armor.

Look, I'm just making fun of the over-the-top artwork

[Juodas Varnas]

It wouldn't stand a chance against my Scorpion.

But 5b at half size slots, think of all the ac20s!
