About two seconds sounds like more than enough time for a Dire wolf to reverse away from a weapon that has a windup animation before it strikes.

Why did you assume I meant that the attacking mech would need to be stationary?

Is it meant to walk or run forward with the throttle engaged?

Or is it a step forward incorporated into the animation?

As much as I roll my eyes at the whole convergence argument of " These are huge guns, they shouldn't accurately converge so quickly " argument, it holds water here. A heavy/assault swinging a weapon around has some serious momentum. That's some serious swing and recovery time. Moreso if you're mobile.

Since mechs are the only new content, we need variety.

Mechs like bombardier don't bring anything new to the table since the archer and catapult already do everything for that segment.

What we need is

1) super dakka and LRM spam - Kraken
2) super fast IS heavy - exterminator
3) totem mechs - mandrill, cobra, grizzly
4) jumping dakka IS Assault - gunslinger, pillager
5) lights and mediums

And we need

SOLARIS

The Nightstar actually has the jumping dakka slot covered, one variant has JJ and I would add another variant comes with a 375 meaning a 400 max engine.

The variant that comes with the 375 is actually a variant designed for Solaris.

Already said I would like the Assassin, BUT.... since we are talking about IS:

does anyone would like IS Omnimech?

I would give my soul for the SUNDER!

Maybe maybe is pgi preparing a surprise for us?
Maybe maybe pushing the timeline to 3058 with all those juicy mechs?

sunders a good choice - in mw4, it was the fastest assault out there - 90-91KPH nonstop!! (Spirit bear doesn't count, as MASC is limited :>)

Mechwarrior 4?

Fast assault?

What is this nonsense?

Are you telling me you didn't immediately gunbag every mech you had, and killed all your speed in favor of PPC/Gaussing every assault mech you owned?

Pleanty of reasons to have the SUNDER back

1) it's cool
2) bring back memories from mw3-mw4
3) 36 free tons
4) a 90 tonner going 64.8-69.7 kph (Cyclop)
5) a lot of omnipod and hardpoints!
6) the hero with 6 M (for El Bandito ) / 5E and 4 B

Are you people sure PGI can make crusader as it would require missile hardpoints in legs and they're notoriously incapable of adding any new content except mech skins?

When there have been leg launchers they have put them somewhere else.

Sensible would be a single wrist mount, shared with a Ballistic and energy point and a shoulder missle mount

Hopefully when, and if it arrives at all, they won't be designing it around that pig ugly pile of dung, it was retcon'd in with a pair of launchers on each wrist.

oh I did. but this was for my incompetent Lance mates, who were **** on learning to follow a 40kph mech in a 53kph mech.

I gave one 3 light PPC and a LRM 15. performed and worked well for them.

I'm guessing that IS omni pack will be next.

Yup let's get this mech in! It will prove my point that PGI is trying to feed us the junk mechs first!

Please no... Aside from a couple okish ones that'd be painful.
