I need to check that out, I believe they also use the Linebacker too I maybe wrong.

It pre-dates the formation of the ARDC, but yes, WiE were the primary users of the Linebacker. You can include a lot of other mechs on this list if you look at both pre and post-3059 Kell Hounds, Wolf-in-Exile mechs.

ARDC liked to use unique mechs. Arctic Wolves were paired with Pouncers... Wolfhounds worked with Pack Hunters, Verfolgers, and Arctic Foxes. Later on, you've got the Hellstar, Viking IIC. So on... once Arc Royal basically replaces Outreach as merc central, Arc-Royal ends up taking on the best mechs from the various Merc units... Annihilator, etc. Basically with the ARDC, you've got probably the best selection of unique IS/Clan mechs around.

You got Huntsman coming out. You don't need Arctic Wolf any time soon.

Not quite the same thing. But sure.
