It would be interesting if the Hero gets a bigger torso twist range due to its hardpoints.

Yeah. This quad ballistic variant is for sure getting **** torso twist range, there is no getting around it.

You mean that latest cash assault completely obsoletes everything that came before it in a blatant power creeping cash grab that has no respect for the game or it's players in any way?

I'm completely shocked.

But was there any way for the Kodiak to NOT infringe on the Dire's "King of Dakka" throne? It was pretty much a certainty, even if the ballistic mounts were waist level.

[Tordin]

Still not gonna buy it. Brought Whales, I love whales. Got humanoid Executioner and IIC Highlander alredy, so Im filled on the clan assault side. Just maybe get Warhawks for c -bills, sorry PGI

[Champion of Khorne Lord of Blood]

Dire Wolf at least does hexa UAC5 better, Kodiak wins out with UAC10s though.

[Davegt27]

I kind of wish the Kodiak would rock just so I could see the tears and hear the crying

But we all know it will suck

I wonder if the LRM Kodiak will be any better than the LRM Atlas

I can guarantee we'll see plenty regardless.

Of course! Just buy the Hero! A 90 kph jumping LRM boat with an angry bear face... what else could you wish for?

Who cares about weapon placement? I want to know where the cockpit is! Left or right eye?

[Tristan Winter]

I imagine there will be a riot if Kodiak owners with their cockpit-level quad UAC10 Kodiaks don't also get energy weapons mounted top-down in the arms. Probably some kind of twitter storm, dozens of DOA threads, possibly a few petitions to boycott PGI forever, and the mandatory death threats.

The mech looks great and im looking forward to them but as for talk of power creep, same was said for the Orion IIC & Highlander IIC and well they are pretty ordinary if not poor according to most people, so i dont believe the hype just yet.

Other then KDK-3, which KDK is able to run quad uac10?
Do you think KDK-3 pilots will have energy weapons?

Consider KDK-1,2,4,5,SB and do your conclusion again...

I'm already writing my KDK DOA templates.

The saying about power creep is for Clan BattleMechs in general and not for Orion and HGN-IIC. People had already known before their release that the Orion and HGN-IIC would be limited because of their hardpoints (mainly).

[The Great Bear]

this is sweet i will be able to shoot over all the medium mechs in front of me i use as shields

[dervishx5]

I'm going to point out that there's no Kodiak variant that has missiles AND ballistics in the left torso at the same time.

Digest that.
