What are those 2 blue things on its arm? I never see those in game.

Those are the stuff of nightmares according to the source material. Practically the best energy weapons. They are so lethal that the IS give their backward version of the weapon a field inhibitor so it can't damage the firing 'Mech's electronics!

Pretty sure that's the "Special" variant, as they always show the artwork in order.

Normal.

Special.

Hero.

It's likely they'll give it more sharp lines with the ingame model (similar to Nova Cat), and I think that will help with the chubby look it has going on.

I don't usually like clan mechs and it seems I'm against the majority here, but find I that that Gyr is a damn sexy mech :)

Well I for one, think it's a nice looking mech! Looks "mechy"...... Like an oversized, several dozen ton power armor! :-)
And those high mounts..... The 2 in the shoulders, and one in the head, are perfect for 2 clpl + cermll.... Or 3 clpl staggered if ya like!

But this'll be no replacement for the timby IMO. (Cept for the having a new toy to play with factor) for 2 reasons.
1. Minor annoyance - NG will have locked jj! 4 tons n slots locked in that ya can't modify unlike timby limited modify in that area. Albeit NG will have more tonnage to afford it, thus just an annoyance!
2. Glaring, no getting past reason - what's under the hood! The biggest (imo) factor to the timby death machine! A 375xl with 5 internal true dubs! We're as the NG.... Only a 300xl with 2 internal true dubs! Thus less heat efficiency, and NG won't ever go past 70 kph even with speed tweak. (I find it a bit sad, that before timby/clans #@&*ed it all up, 70kph was actually considered darn good for a heavy.... Now it's more assault territory)

Still, I'll probably throw down $20 when hits store (still a nice deal if it's $20, just like Kodiak was... Spend cbills on cheaper IS stuff :-D) to ensure I get early adopter stuff, and upgrade/refund as more info comes out!

I don't think it is actually a hero mech, it could be... However this paint job is from the Clan Jade Falcon Turkina Keshik unit, they paint all of their mechs like this. The colors aren't spot on but the green paint and the falcon painted onto it is a dead give away.

"The Turkina Keshik colors its 'Mechs turquoise green with lime green highlights. A gold pearl glaze is then applied, changing the green aspect in varied lighting. Wanting their enemy to know exactly whom they are fighting, all MechWarriors adorn their machines with large falcon murals."


I don't see any noteable Night Gyr pilots in the Jade Falcon lore though.

Wrong. Only the first heat sinks that come with the engine are "true dubs". Additional heat sinks, either in the engine or somewhere else, have 1.4 heat capacity. In the end, all DHS are true dubs once you elited the mech anyway.

Just couldn't help but correct that could ya ? Posted Image

Anyhow, you are correct. That's what I get for posting on my lunch break while I'm half napping. Not sure why I thought that? As the only DHS that have ever counted for the full 2.0 have been the ones that are part the engine (non-removable)....maybe was just wishful thinking while I was half asleep? Maybe my half asleep brain assumed this was a BT game? Posted Image
What I meant to say was the difference of 5 "slot free" heatsinks compared to 2. By "slot free" I mean they only use the tonnage, and none of your precious crit slots outside the motor.
And least the rest what I said held up....or ya least didn't feel need to correct it! Posted Image

The rest was fine. I did it so other, less experienced players don't get the wrong info. And this is a Mechwarrior game. I'd like some more BT stuff in, but this game here is truer to the BT values than any MW game before.
Btw, really, do the maths, mang. With Elite status full you have true dubs, and mechs reliant on in-engine dubs only have it even better :)

oh pffft.....now your just being difficult! Posted Image
/sacasm/

Fine, just to be difficult back.
/end sarcasm/

Clan DHS, last I checked have the attributes +0.15 heat dissipation (out of motor) +0.20 dissipate (in motor) and +1.1 to heat cap. So with basics that becomes +0.16125, +0.215, and +1.21 respectively. With fully elited becomes +0.1725, +0.23, and +1.32 respectively.
Nothing but DHS that are part the motor (integral ones) ever reach "True Dub" status, which I'm meaning as any heatsink that reaches +0.20 heat dissipation or better!

If the 2 laser slots I think are in the torso are even with the cockpit I could care less what it looks like (as long is it is not a tribute to my Ex).

Now if this was anything related to Star Wars or WW2 I may have a real opinion other than meta.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

I like it. Looks beefy. I like when mechs actually look plausibly "built". Like they're strong enough to actually support their own weight. Probably order at least the $20 pack.

Checking out the stock hardpoints... Looks pretty good. Stock build with LPL instead of PPC's looks like a great mech. 60 point alphas +10 with double-taps at 360m. Good damage out to 600m. I like it.
