Eh, I am still somewhat sentimental to the good old Beeswax since MW4 Mercenaries tutorial, and as I discovered decades later it was the mech that I played in MW3 waaaay back. My first contact with BT franchise that was Now, before you guys go on a buying rampage I would like to quote a caution I made elsewhere.

You might want to pick the variants that do what the upcoming Mad Cat does not. Say, MCII-2 duplicates Scorch almost exactly (even surpasses it due to having energy hardpoints in ST and thus actually being able to use them along with the prevalent 2*LB20x+4*SRM6 Scorch build). For instance, I bought Scorch before the Mad Cat pack was announced, since I did not anticipate it (or Annihilator for that matter), so I will probably buy the Prime version, for the lack of a better way to name it, D and A. Mad Cat has a very good diversity of hardpoint sets and locations, just like Huntsman, and more or less covers all the other bases.

For me the MAD-IIC is one of the best assaults so far. Guess we will see some more in the field soon...

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

Ahhhh time to get MAD and get the rest of them.

[SuperFunkTron]

Finally the MAD IIC is out for C-bills. I'm going to be out in my Warhawk Prime all week letting people know the ERPPC king is not being dethroned.

I'm excited about the ECM variant though. That' brings a nice change for clan assaults.

Perhaps buy one that you really like...and then wait...and shop...smart

Last mech I brought for full price, was a Nova maybe a year ago, actually little more than a year. I think now I'll get another.(check, got it)

ECM assult is not something we often get with Clan.

Showing fine for me, you might want to check again now. Maybe the update was still processed then or something.

Or is it? How long it took PGI to do SOMETHING about the previous PPC king with similar hitbox issues? It might be not that bad in this case, but it is the main reason it is called Peacedove

MAD IIC is pretty awesome.

Not the king if Dakka since it can only mount ballistics in either 1 or 2 compartments depending on variant... But 9 MPL is fun, as is 3 ERPPCs, when you can carry 30 or so DHS.

The ECM variant work very well with 2 Gauss, a ErPPC, 8 tons of Gauss ammo, max engine, 13-14 DHS, CAP, ECM, and a TC. Brutal sniper.

If you want all zee missiles, though... Buy a Scorch. LRM80+A and tons of ammo numbering in the teens, with a TAG, CAP, and a ERPPC backup is fun (you will be insulted, but it is fun)

MAD-IIC-A with triple UAC5 and MPLs is just so awesome. Like my preferred IS Marauder builds, but better in every way

[-Ramrod-]

It is an awesome mech. I've had the most success with this chassis.

Were there issues with the Warhawk's hit boxes? I've got the basic marauder set and have to say that they are worth while mechs... Just can't beat the Warhawk as a PPC boat.

Party time Mech fix :DDD more time new 55tns cbills

if you want to erppc snipe, use a shadowcat. youre not doing your team any favor by wasting assault class armor while sitting back. i might have undersrood something wrong but assaults should share their armor, not stand way back and getting swarmed after your entire team ia dead because they had a diaadvantage in numbers and tonnage at the frontline.

[L1f3H4ck]

This is actually my go-to comfort build. It's tough, it works on every map, it has decent range and melts faces. 10/10 would buy again.

Edit: And by "go-to comfort build" I'm not just refering to the Marauder IIC, but overall.

One client restart later, and I'm now seeing the (C-Bill) prices in the In-Game Store. Must have been a one-off glitch.
