Reminds me of this

[MechWarrior5152251]

Dual Gauss trumps 6+ energy hard points but this beast has BOTH.

[Sjorpha]

I honestly don't think it would be that good.

Type2 jumpjets are the worst jj class in terms of thrust so those won't be a big deal, high energy hardpoints are great and alll but the battlemaster and banshee already has more of them them while allowing a much faster engine. The dual gauss arms are low slung and if you want that the King Crab seems like a stronger choice with it's higher tonnage and bigger engine.

If it had the engine cap of a battlemaster I could see it being useful, but if it has the expected about 300 cap then nope nothing to be excited about.

Doesn't seem to fit the current meta that well at all IMO, especially not in FW where you want to be fast in most cases.

No they arent.

Class II JJs have 68 thrust for 1 ton.
Class I JJs have 68 thrust for 2 tons.

Id say paying double for the same output is worse. Class II JJs are barely worse than Class III, which have 75 thrust and weigh 1 ton.

JJ pecking order:

Class IV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Class V = Class III > Class II >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Class I

Edit: Gunslinger would be a bit owned by the bad engine cap actually, 310 same as the Stalker most likely. So not a Battlemaster with ECM and JJs, because good Battlemasters run at 75+

I stand corrected, remembered that wrong. Still doesn't seem like a big deal.

Also note what you don't see.... that's right, no Dorito, suckers. That's courtesy of ECM. Just 4PPCs and a TAG to your grill.

Actually, they serve as a distraction. The first thing my enemy will see is a pair of beautiful, bikini-clad women. The last thing my enemy will see are QUAD PPCS OF DEATH TO THE FACE!

1) Bloop Asp is clan, everyone knows IS is OP, just ask Gyrok
2) and guns ABOVE cockpit are actually no better than guns beside cockpit...
3)and GUN-1ERD packs more guns, son.

Blood asp better back off, before it gets turned into a Blood Splat

I can't look at GUN-1ERD and not read it as "Gun Nerd"

Which...honestly works so well, with this playerbase...

Not to derail this amusing thread with actual serious commentary, but...

...this isn't true. Guns above cockpit are much more likely to clear bad terrain hit boxes.

Also, PGI's convergence doesn't seem to be done correctly within 3D space. I've had wide-arm weapons such as lasers on an Ebon Jaguar hit buildings/terrain on the way to a target that should have easily missed the obstacle had they been drawn correctly in 3D space. It sometimes seems as if weapons don't converge at all until right before they hit... or something like that. So a weapon that's mounted above the cockpit is going to clear intervening obstacles by a couple of meters as long as you have LOS.
