Since the Longbow has concept art now, is it possible to remove the Longbow from the poll? Now I know that it's for MW5, but since PGI is cross pollinating their assets between that and MWO, I thought it would be good to bring that up.

That's just what we need, more uber LURM vomit standing in the back with the SnIpErS, not soaking up their share of damage so the entire team gets rolled when the front line collapses.

Anti-longbow countermeasure:

HA! Puny rock

[Will9761]

I'm still waiting for the IS Omnis. Now that we have the Gausszilla, HAGs, X-Pulse Lasers and Blazers, I just want IS Omnis even more now.

[Will9761]

Since the Longbow might be coming into MWO, the six Macross Unseens we have left are:
Stinger
Wasp
Valkyrie
Ostsroc
Ostscout
Ostsol

I hope we get the rest of those remaining Unseen mechs soon.

i don't know if there is a Longbow with an MRM +HSL and a small Spread quirk it could make a good mid ranger. also not ever Assault has to be a Front liner. also hell how often outside of events do you see more than 1 LRM boat on the field at a time? they have already nerfed the weapon into the ground over the last few years. then again with those GIANT arms second line seems to be where you should be in it anyway.

I have removed the Longbow from the Poll to end all Polls. Current leaders for all classes:

IS Light: Hollander, Wasp
IS Medium: Men-Shen, Chimera
IS Heavy: Avatar, Argus
IS Assault: Sunder, Hauptmann

Clan Light: Firemoth, Locust IIC
Clan Medium: Shadowhawk IIC, Griffin IIC
Clan Heavy: Grizzly (Fair enough, this one would be good for the inevitable CGB MW5 Clans DLC), Crossbow
Clan Assault: Phoenix Hawk IIC, Turkina (Also good for inevitable CJF MW5 Clans DLC)

You mean standing there well outside the lines with their Clan ERLL vomit builds? Oh wait, those builds stand even further back.

Would you consider removing the UrbanMech IIC from the poll? Granted, it's just the Special Urbie with Clan Technology classified as Legendary Mech, but it is seen as a new chassis.

[Will9761]

I can see the uses of these designs.

IS Light:
Hollander - It's a faster version of the Urbie. Depending on the amount of Ballistic hardpoints it has it will be a beast.
Wasp - It's one of the Macross Unseens and people would eat that up.

IS Medium:
Men-Shen - A good IS OmniMech and the IS answer to the Black Lanner
Chimera - A Mechwarrior 4 Classic. Nostalgia is a drug.

IS Heavy:
Avatar - Another IS OmniMech, a Mechwarrior 3 Classic and IS equivalent for the Mad Dog.
Argus - Same reason as the Chimera

IS Assault:
Sunder - A Mechwarrior 3 and 4 classic. Though the mech is a beast in its own right, with the Samual variant (albeit slightly limited) it could be a powerhouse.
Hauptmann - A Mechwarrior 4 classic. it's the only IS OmniMech that has a Standard Engine.

Clan Light:
Firemoth - A Mechwarrior 2 classic. The only problem is its speed, in which CryEngine can't handle. But it can still be in the game despite this. Look at the Hatchetman, people thought it wouldn't be in MWO due to the lack of melee and yet it still appeared. Then look at the Crusader, we thought it would never be in the game due to its leg mounts, but it came in MWO anyway. Just reduce the speed. Anything can happen at this point.
Locust IIC - A Victor Musical Industries Unseen. People would love that.

Clan Medium:
Shadowhawk IIC - A VMI Unseen
Griffin IIC - A VMI Unseen (interestingly enough, the Japanese port of Mechwarrior 1 had a BattleMaster as the Griffin was never in the game. The Japanese art of the mechs were turned into the IIC Mechs, but the Japanese BattleMaster was converted into the Griffin IIC).

Clan Heavy:
Grizzly - A Mechwarrior 2 classic. It could be a solid Clan BattleMech along with the 2 variant.

Clan Assault:
Phoenix Hawk IIC - A VMI Unseen that's really a Charger IIC. The torso mounted weapons will be helpful along with the shield arms.
Turkina - A Clan Jade Falcon totem Mech and a companion for the Executioner in the 95-ton bracket.

[Will9761]

I know 4 Clan Unseens that should be released: Locust IIC, Griffin IIC, Phoenix Hawk IIC and, Shadow Hawk IIC. Imagine how they would look MWO-fied. They could be like a Phoenix Origin Pack or something.

I dont like idea *** IIC mechs.

There are many other things to do, than some half a*s toys.

Edited by Saved By The Bell, 26 November 2023 - 08:53 PM.

[Will9761]

The people on the polls would disagree with you on that point.

Me personally, I just want my IS OmniMechs.

[Gas Guzzler]

Removed Black Hawk-KU and Urbanmech IIC (forgot to remove with the legend release).

IS Omnis have the green light!

Sorry I missed this but I independently identified that I should have done that!

[Will9761]

Given how PGI wants to play it safe with IS Omnis, I can understand why they want to reuse assets like the Nova into the Black Hawk KU for example:

Arctic Fox - IS Kit Fox
Firestarter Omni - Taller Firestarter
Blackjack Omni
Gauntlet - Omni Bushwhacker
Perseus - Omni Orion

Also added Centurion Omni to that list of possibilities

I'm so glad MWO has an active community that participates in these items.

I would love to see the Inner Sphere:

Merlin

Exterminator

(Not Executioner, sorry!)

and last but not least

The Rakshasa!

Edited by Steeltreads, 20 April 2024 - 07:44 PM.

[Will9761]

The Executioner is already in the game and it's a Clan Mech not an IS mech, but I do agree with you on the Merlin and Rakshasa for the IS.

[Battlemaster56]

Looking through sarna there couple of battlemechs that PGI can make without kit bashing and use the current models with a little remodeling like the Ceasar, and Thug can easily use the Catapharct model with slight adjustments, and the bombarder is just a smaller archer with a different cockpit.
