tried it out a few times now....

why PGI? why did you make the Bushwacker fatter and taller than 70-75 tonner heavies?

its bigger than the catapult 65t, hellbringer 65t, timberwolf 75t, its as tall as the Warhammer 70t and again bigger than the linebacker 75t...so uhm...why? just why? is this thing filled with helium to bloat it all out of proportions? but never should anything 55t, be larger than anything in 75t weight class...the damn thing needs a huge rescale.

Uh, the Marauder towers over this thing...

[Tyler Valentine]

It's not that big. Size seems about right to me.

[Champion of Khorne Lord of Blood]

Linebacker is 60 tons, and bigger than the Bushwacker.

[naterist]

its taller because of that launcher and its associated tower. that thing is tall and big, its got mad-2c big booty syndrome.

Has to be mastered and outfitted with a good load out and practice to do well in. I had a lot of trouble getting my Phoenix Hawk having good scores, took forever. When in doubt boat lasers. Use a standard for anything under 115 kph.

Dunno what the OP is going on about.

[Johnny Z]

Yep the Bushwacker is tough. Very hard to get a ct hit anywhere but from directly in front.

Using a standard it will be slow, get used to it and wait for engine balancing update.

It's basically a small Ebon Jag. OP is probably confusing cockpit perspective.

In actual Battletech scale it probably should be bigger and a little wider, but for balance sake it appears to be appropriately sized.

It only requires a good build, it's very forgiving tho, since you can take loads of damage if you twist, best medium mech hitboxes, feels like a tank after piloting a Huntsman


I dropped in stock, with crappy lrms and such and got pathetic damage, like aroun 100 pathetic


My first drop in a decent 3 ac2 + 3 srm2 build netted me 5 kills and ~650 dmg, with some practice it's a medium you should consistently do 500+ damage in with multiple kills

I like that it's big


I wish Urbanmech was much bigger, with how slow it is it doesn't make sense for it to be so small

It does, it has the smallest engine possible. One that is less powerful than your Fiat or your Volkswagen.

[Deathlike]

The Bushwacker's size is fine. It's shape however remains to be desired.

It's not Shaqhawk tall or Kintaro-sized worth of jolly.

Relative to other 55-tonners, it's undersized... but that's because most 55-tonners are huge.

Load your Fiat with 29 tons of cargo and see if it goes faster than urbie...
