WE ALREADY HAVE IT. It's been in the game for almost a year. the DIRE. WOLF-W. IS. THE. WIDOWMAKER. We have it.

so stop asking for something we already have. and we already have Natasha's Warhammer.

just shows most of you whiners spend more time complaining about the game than actually playing it, or you'd know this.

DIRE WOLF

Alt. Config. W
This Wolf's Dragoons variant is effective at both long and short range. For long range, it uses a Gauss Rifle, an ER Large Laser, and an LRM-20. At close range, an Ultra Autocannon/20, ER Small Laser, and a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers provide devastating firepower. Twenty double heat sinks allow the design to almost continually fire all of its weapons.

Widowmaker
The preferred configuration of the Black Widow Natasha Kerensky, the Widowmaker can do a great deal of damage at any range. For long range combat, an ER PPC backed up by a Large Pulse Laser mounted in each arm. For close combat, the Widowmaker carries three ER Medium Lasers, an ER Small Laser, and an Ultra Autocannon/20. This mix of weaponry served Natasha Kerensky well until her death at the hands of Jade Falcon Star Commander Joanna. The Widowmaker now rests on the floor of the Great Gash on Twycross, in silent memorial to its legendary pilot.

Widowmaker LRM
The configuration of Dire Wolf piloted by Natasha Kerensky at her Trial of Position to test out as a MechWarrior on 21 July 3051. For long range combat, the ER PPCs are replaced by shoulder-mounted twin LRM-20 launchers with 24 racks, first half being Swarm LRMs and backed up by a Large Pulse Laser mounted in each arm. For close combat, the left torso carries three ER Medium Lasers in triangular configuration in the chest and the stubby LB-X Autocannon/20 with 10 cluster rounds under-slung on the right torso. For when things gets dicey, a "fire and forget" SRM-6 one-shot launcher above cockpit, just aft of the hatch and only 20 double strength heat sinks. This configuration was just for her Trial of Position and not used again.

I am disappointed of new heros, not much new in posibility.

I hope at least that Pgi handed 4 modules like any other clans ??? .
For the pirate bane 6 modules and heros IS with 5 modules .
Timberwolf and stormcrow only 3 modules is shameful. the ebon is much more powerful with 10 tons less and 4 modules .

Ummh... almost no IS mechs have more than that bases 1+2+1 modules formula. The ones with more generally really need it!

Though in fairness she changed her loadout constantly in the books ...

Hmmm, why recycling contend we already have?

Do people really fall that easy for shiny blinki blinki?

Better give us a deeper Battletech world, more maps and a more strategic CW/FW please, PGI!

Wow, they really went the extra mile to make these things suck... and a bonus kick in the nuts, timby is NOT Aidan Pryde's mech like Russ once said.

Dunno mate, i think they're quite appealing. Also we got Aidan's Summoner which was his signature 'mech and the one he favored.

As much as i dig the idea of havnig the "cursed" Timberwolf in the game, It is essentially every, literally every timberwolf with S variant sidetorsos (2 ER Large, 2 ER Medium, 1 ER Small, 2 LRM20 and 4 Jumpjets).
Although, i will only acknowledge it if it comes with occasional H.U.D. issues.

Or just give us the Bounty Hunter Timber Wolf for maximum ECM wubbing. Not like we give much about timeline nowadays anyway. And appearently, selling clan'tech cookiecutter is a thing.

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

Question; to qualify for next years appreciation, we need to order after October's cutoff right?

Makes sense.

[Bluttrunken]

Why does the Hero Summoner look like a freakin' melon... ?

I'll get the Adder, Stormcrow, Nova(probably Summoner) personally. But only like next year or something.

[exiledangel]

why wasn't Martha pryde the summoner it was the only mech she piloted

[MovinTarget]

You know, if yhey gave you all *exactly* the heroes you wanted right now, they'd have nothin you'd be dying to buy later...

[Gloris]

Every time i check back in on MWO there are like 5 new ways to spend money on the front page, but improvements to the actual game are nowhere to be found.

[MovinTarget]

Every time i check back in on mwo its still free to play, avoids p2w pitfalls better than most and is still dependent on independent customer purchases to survive.

[Rodrigo Martinez]

If you have hero omnimech already, steam or invasion variant, you are screwed. There is no point in buying another hero omnimech, it's just stupid. Two different hunchbacks - it's two different hero mechs, 4p and grid iron are two completely different mechs, but in my case with TBR and DWF this is just hero omnipods. One or two.

yeah, and guess whose Dire Wolf the W is based off of? Natasha's Widowmaker. So there goes your arguement. and, as the last guys said, she changed her loadout constantly. that being said, the Dire Wolf W IS the setup the Widowmaker had on Tukayyid. Natasha definitely made sure to take advantage of the 'mech's OmniPods though.

[MovinTarget]

So if she constantly fiddled with the loadout, what's the point of making a mech and calling it the widowmaker?

It seems that would generate just as much controversy (Why would you give it *that* build?) as not officially releasing it.

Well, if that's all you want just spend $6.95 on MC between now and the 2016 rewards cutoff and get a free BJ, from Russ, with psychedelic paint and 4 streaks. It won't even be in a badly lit alley . . . it'll be right in your mech bay.




Sorry, just too easy . . .

[Scout Derek]

Well, I'm not going to be buying any of them anytime soon as there's no incentive to.

Perhaps when November rolls in I'll entice myself by being a self bought birthday present.

Although I do not currently have access to the novel, novels rank lowest on the scale of canonicity. The rest of the canon clearly shows that you are simply incorrect. In fact, given the timeline, Natasha Kerensky never even piloted a Dire Wolf before the Dragoons fielded their variant, so no it is not possible that the W is ‘based upon’ the Widowmaker.

Not to mention that being ‘based upon’ her Dire Wolf does not make it her Dire Wolf, even ignoring that there are next to no similarities between hers and the Dragoon models; but please tell us how the HD erSL makes them the same mech
