Here is a couple ways to improve the stormcrow and i can already here the trolls howling over this.
add a variant that can have JJ or Masc only on that variant. This will give it the versatility of either a short burst of speed that might be able to counter a oxide by closing suddenly or conversely add JJ so the stormcrow on that variant can have some extra versatility and/or maneuverability to turn inside of some of the heavier mechs that have JJ.

Yes, let's invalidate the Nova as a mech completely. Stormcrow is fine as is, maybe give back the turn rate quirk that it used to have about that's probably about it.

Are you sure you're not the troll here? o_0

As a clan loyalist, the last thing we need is the Stormcrow becoming even better. We just need more good medium options that give us a reason to use something other than the Stormcrow. By no means, no means, whatsoever, does the Stormcrow need any help or improvement.

So you want Skillcrow to be able to run at 130 kph in bursts. You seriously see no balance issues stemming from that? Not to mention the +accel/decel one can get from MASC.

The Stormcrow being what it is gives the Huntsman and Black Lanner a reason to exist.

While we're at it lets buff Timberwolves, Black Knights, Maulers and Banshees. I'd like Maulers and Banshees to get masc that accelerates them to 120 KPH in 30 second bursts, and TBRs and Knights to get doubled hardpoints.

Seriously though, you're asking for one of the best mediums to get "improved"? You mention trolls "howling", so I assume you at least have some sense of how good SCRs are.

Besides, the SCR getting JJs/Masc would pretty much fully obsolete the S-Cat and at least hurt the Nova. Especially so since that would mean the Masc and JJs would be omnipods and therefore swappable, something the other clan mediums simply can't compete with.

With the exception of regaining the agility it lost, of course.

CT hitbox needs to be dialed back closer to where it was, CT hitbox seems huge now.
Even clean shots on torso's mostly get washed into the CT.

Not that the hitboxes were exactly fair before, but at least it wasn't a magnet.

Fixed it for you. Black Lanner has zero reason to exist.




Zero.

I love playing clans, but man I get tired of these things and go back to playing my ShdK for OP mech memories (the old ex-athlete syndrome mech)

I would not mind a jumping 55 tonner, or a Hero high engine cap Hunchie.

Almost all mediums are in a hard spot, with the better ones still not being goto mechs in pug quick play.

[kesmai]

Only if i get bacon cockpit items.

Still better than the Vindicator (may not even be the worst 55 tonner...)

[Appogee]

Yes, let's take the best Medium Mech in the game - the one that can boat, mix and match large numbers of any kind of weapon of your choice, moves quickly, has a surprisingly tanky torso and a survivable XL - and make it even better.

I get sad every time someone says black lanner.
Its like they just heard its name as a clan medium and don't know how garbage it is.


WE NEED HUNTSMAN!

And I thought you'll come up with some nerf ideas for the crow to improve the situation lol.

The Stormcrow can't get MASC anyway since MASC must be hard-mounted in the base configuration to begin with.

A jumping Stormcrow would be kind of neat.

As it is, though, the Stormcrow is considered the best Clan omnimech.
