Eww...

Oh, come-on, I am buying this thing for fun, anyways

[Jalthibuster]

I guess being great or DOA will all be a question of torso yaw angle and if the the shoulders are am hit boxes, like the ones of the Atlas, or already side torso hit box.

[Shard Phoenix]

Don't care if it's "DOA" or God Tier, I'll have them in my stable and I'll have fun.

On the flip side here... In the Kodiak, if you can see my shoulder hitboxes, my big guns can see you. By all means, try to out-trade me in damage and armor. That's definitely not something the poor Atlas can say.

You won't need much yaw or structure quirks or awesome hitboxes when you can sit behind cover and spam lots of dakka with impunity.

Quad UAC/10 is hot, so is 2UAC/10+2UAC/5+ERMLs. But they are still pretty decent.

Still waiting for the Bane.....

In your opinion, you as a pilot may not do well in them. Does not mean the mechs are bad. The origins ones are pure, no stinking quirks. No wonder people think the origin mechs perform bad when the pilots are used to quirk crutches all the time. I have heard it s like a diet.

luv the Origins mechs myself. Cant wait for them Kodiaks too

Haterz GTFO. Srsly.

I bought standard + Hero, and frankly I forgot the KDK-3 existed. Quad Quack/10 builds can suck a fat one. In eight days, my Kodiaks will be doing one thang, and one thang only.

Killin' {Godwin's Law} Redoritos, at 90kph, with heavy autocannons and 20+ SRM tubes.

I will find faces. Tasty, tasy faces. I will find tasty faces, and I will eat tasty faces. THis is the first 100t 'Mech I will pilot, and I do not care that it is the size of all seven of my incoming Vipers combined and will have the torso agility of Jabba the Hutt. I will have twenty tons of armor moving ninety klicks an hour with a Quack/20 and all the SRMs.

There will be only one sound when my Spirit Bear hits the field, and that sound is this one.



There will be only one song when my Spirit Bear hits the field, and that song is this one.



There will be only one sensation my enemies feel when my SPirit Bear hits the field, and that sensation is this one.

[ShiftySWP and the Pleated Pants]

I hope the Kodiak turns out to be really good... but I did return my pre-order today for a refund because of reasons.

I do look forward to seeing them on the field. I'm sure they will be a tough fight.

First there were LRM Atlas'. Then there were LRM Crabs. Now... a new terror awaits...

I think none of them give bonus C-Bills like the Hero Kody. The Hero Kody would be the new premier LRM boat to be used for grinding C-Bills and in events!

what! no pics, Oi...

NO UAC/20! Use that precious tonnage to mount the biggest engine and MASC to keep running from those pesky lights trying to chew your butt. And more LRM ammo. Last 'Mech to die in the match is best LRM boat.

Not sure if I should upgrade to collector's pack. The KDK1 seems very average, and I don't think I'll be playing it much. However, not sure if the extra premium time and hanging items (plus horns) are a worthwhile package. Thoughts?

Also, are the 4 & 5 worth it? They seem pretty bad, even worse than the KDK1.

The SB seems to be crying out as the Clan Atlas, but alas, the cUAC20 has duration, so twisting will be very tricky. cLBX is not viable. I might run with 4x SRM6, and 2xLPL, since I have to facetime with the cUAC20, might as well drop it and use LPLs for range. MASC on it will be awesome!

Will use KDK 1 and 2 with varying degrees of laser vom. Slightly disappointed that they don't have dual ballistic slots for gauss vom. They don't have MASC either, so no point using SRMs. I hate lurms, so that's out too.

will definitely be running KDK 3 as 4x AC10. Will be fun and exciting. Can't wait.

Overall, it seems only SB and KDK3 are the 2 standouts that detract from the usual laser vom. The rest are just bigger, slower, more vomitty timbergods.

Unlike IS mechs, I think this'll come unquirked, or with extremely minor quirks.

about the SB UAC20 facetime, don't forget while you're double tapping the AC, your target is shaking. when you hit him with the SRM salvo, your target is shaking again.

I just want you all to know. I predicted this would happen eventually. Day 1 of the Kodiak's announcement.

[Widowmaker1981]

KDK-3 -

XL375, 4xUAC5 (10T ammo), 4xERML, TC5, about 17 total DHS. (ES)
XL375, 2xUAC10 (4.5T ammo) 2xUAC5 (5.5t ammo), TC5, 15 DHS (ES, FF)
STD300, 4x Gauss (9t ammo) (ES, FF)
XL350, 4xUAC5 (10T ammo), 2xLPL, 18 DHS, TC1 (ES)

Dont really care about other variants, tbh ill probs end up selling most of them once it comes out for cbills, so i can buy more of the -3 variant... Hero should be fun from time to time though.
