This should be the next heavy mech.
It would be the first mainly energy based heavy mech.
The high arms with no elbow or hands allowing for a better shot trajectory.
75 tons

[Davers]

You mean next heavy after the Orion? Yeah. It would be cool. Either that or a Champion.

Why use that when you can gain 5 tons by using an Awesome?

If the Champion didn't suck and look horrible

If they decide to somehow jump 16 years into the future...yea.

More available arm crit space and higher shot trajectory for shooting over terrain.

If you haven't noticed LRMs kind of trump that 9 times out of 10.


And the Flashman isn't diverse enough to be added most likely. It only has 5 Variants 4 really since the 5th only modifies 1 component and to be technical it only has 1 variant that could be used right now because of the timeline.

so it has 1 variant, meaning it mostlikely wont get added.

75 tons??? Flash Man doesn't look that heavy to me.

[Titus Ryan]

Look at the variants on sarna for the jaegermech, not much there either but it is the next available heavy mech.

Thats why you dont LRM *****

The Jagermech has 4 available variants at the moment, and then an additional 6 Variants progressively later.

-so 10 possible variants with the possibility of a Hero variant that they could make up. As opposed to the 1 (5 possible) variants the Flashman has.

if we're talking about energy build i'd go for Sagittaire.

Damn Iron Harlequin, you are in rare form tonight. And hey! I really like the Champion!
I've always been more of a fan of the Grasshopper than the Flashman though, and when you look at the heat profiles of the base mechs, and then consider how the Flashman has always been known for heat problems. I think it'd be like those 6 ERPPC Stalkers who shutdown for 3 minutes with each shot waiting to get back below 100% heat.
