I didn't like Kodiak, so the only two clan assaults that i liked are the dire and the exe, but how they perform compared with the meta kdk? Are they way worse or they can be played agains't a team with KDK's and still have a chance?

nah. Dire wolf is slow as hell. Exe have low weight weapon capacity.

Dire wolves would be able to out muscle the kodiaks, but they can't torso twist to save their lives and you'd have to make sure to take the kodiak out very quickly. Executioners would have to approach the Kodiak as though it were a much lighter mech, doing lots of shooting and covering to have a chance

Dakka Dire can outgun Kodiak 3 anytime, even torso twisting won't save it.

But, actual game is 12 vs 12. In that, Kodiak can eat several heavies in the time Dire can barely engage one. Thus Dire will always be inferior.

Executioner is very different to Kodiak and Dire.

This is why I believe that the Dire Wolf needs a little of its mobility nerfs buffed out. Its not an awful mech right now, its just not applicable to the majority of game situations.

Depends. If you have the Kodak in front of you and a solid loadout with decent cooling and aim center mass... You'll win 2 out of 3 times with the dire wolf. 4 Large pulse lasers to its mouth is good for a guaranteed and almost instant kill.

In general think of the Dire Wolf as a dedicated weapons platform in mwo. Keep enemies at a distance and hammer the heck out of them. Never let anyone behind you as unlike the Kodak you wont live long enough to get your enemy in front of you again.

I have over 12 mechs, but I do not own an executioner.

U cant keep enemies at distance. Cause of low speed and immobility of this mech cannot dictate distance. Maps isnt flat u know?
Besides Dire wolf is the sweatest frag for 2-3 mechs, cause of its standart (two alpha shots) armor and big profile.

Same assault but faster with almost same (Structure + armor) HP is Warhawk.

And Warhawk is better than DireWolf. But have limited hardpoints.

And the rest of the cow print Dire Cow series.
You can keep enemies at bay. Easily.
Just be dangerous.
