yeah the Vindicator, Victor, Highlander ec have been left to rot i guess we'll be adding the Phoenix Hawk and Viper.

There is quite the list of the useless, under buffed and broken.

Hey look it's a buff the viper thread getting overrun by buff IS mechs.

Nothing to see here folks.

Tho I would say the phawk and viper sit at about the same place.

after the phx gets its love. ur in line pal.


The sad thing is that I own both. I pull very good games in the PHX. Nothing to get a 2 kill ratio with max armor, JJ, 120k speed, LL and 3 mpl and ECM in the PHX-2. In the Viper I get owned. Now this could be just me. But in my other mechs the clan tech works very well even with IS buffs. The Viper just feels like the original PHX arms....but all over!

I really do enjoy piloting my vipers. I have them mastered and run three different builds. none of which are quirked as I need to swap omnis for the hardpoints i like. The two main issues I have is although they are fast they seem to die if there is a crossbreeze and if you get spotted it feels like the whole team just takes aim and hunts you down.
("Look guys easy kill!!")

The amount of times I have been at the back of a pack of lighter and heavier mechs and have been targeted by everyone would make me a rich man at $5 a pop Posted Image Sigh it is getting harder to justify using mechs I like in favour of survivability or hardpoint usage.
