I would love to see aerotech in this game. It's like flying a fast, paper thin mech that face plants if you overheat and needs to actually manage things like fuel.

never going to happen.

Maps too small, cryengine can't handle the speeds, etc.

At most, one might see AI controlled VTOLs and Conventional Craft, which of course, are there purely to swat. Player based? lol.

PGI.

I'd like to see this too. Maybe slow them down Battlefield style so maps don't need to be huge. Don't allow suicide damage on mechs. Just balance like Battlefield and give players an anti air options weapon systems. Rifleman might even have a role besides killing mechs

[El Bandito]

Best thing PGI is able to do is to have a MW:LL type aerospace fighters. Loved the Shiva in that game.

Paper thin? Manage fuel? Are you even talking about Aerospace fighters here?
No. Just no!

I agree its not going to happen but I don't see why cryengine is the issue, there are other space games using it

[Johnny Z]

This could be the single most amazing addition to this game.

[Mudhutwarrior]

Never will happen. It takes creativity and hard work to make that happen. Neither are PGI strong suits.

When i played Elite dangerous i knew how i wanted CW to be. Let me fly a bunch of mechjock to a planet with a base thats either controlled by AI or opposing faction. That kind of game you appeal to dedicated pilots as well as dedicated mechwarriors. I remember flying transport in Tribes2 and Joint Operation all games long. Get **** score but insert people behind enemy lines or bring jeeps on an island for an attack is so rewarding.

I'd rather have quads.

>I'd rather have quads.

Walking War Robots has quads, it's over there -->

I agree that proper aerofighters would not work but maybe LAMs would be possible as they could work as super jumpers.

Yeah but you'd rather have quads than sex so that's not even close to an endorsement

That's not a fair comparison.
I don't get either of those things


My life is horrible.

Quads would be excellent but aerospace fighters and capital ships would be way better. WAY. There is not even one multi player game that offers this. Not even one. It is an epic shame. MechWarrior could offer it better than any other as well, which makes it a critical priority for it to be added. CRITICAL PRIORITY MUST HAVE AT ALL COSTS!

Ok the drama got off the leash for a sec there, but it would be cool wouldn't it.

Also Aerotech is Battletechs and Mechwarriors lands and look Call of Duty has entered more than MechWarrior Online has.



MechWarrior Onlines only saving grace is they got dropships, such as they are, into the game well before Call of Duty started on this.

On the bright side, thanks to Call of Duty for making an excellent promo video for what MechWarrior could do way better.

Most aerospace fighters are not heavily armored or heavily armed, unless they were also slow and turned like a barn. There are some notable exceptions but most could take 1-2 ML hits before your internal and wrecking shop. On some of the best omnifighter designs it is possible to take 2 shots and mount about 4 weapons when you consider heat management, fuel loadout and everything else. Add in MWOs borked heat scales and it would probably reduce your weapons a bit more. If they could designate the zones to be wider at the top like an inverted bowl it would work. Then there would be legitimate reasons for long range weapons and air defense, help it would even make UAC/AC2s useful.

Heck, I just want jump jets to work like they are supposed to, 180 meters not 23...
