I was considering getting the Jester (which wasn't on sale at the time of writing PeeGeeAyy pls fix), but I thought I had too many Heavy IS mechs, so I looked towards the Medium class for a change of pace. The BJ-A interested me because of the sextuple Ballistic slots, and wondered how lulzy things can get if I replaced all the current MGs with HMGs post Civil War patch; I want to see how much damage I can do after I spray lead into people's bare, unarmoured rear ends.

Thoughts?

6 MG Spider will come back with a vengeance.

Those are my thoughts.


*Note: Arrow is already a fun mech with current tech, go buy it.

I think that players should fear the 6 HMG Arrow more than the 6 HMG Spider or Arctic Cheetah!

Got the arrow, but mostly because I was looking for another semi-reasonable medium hero.

Have a six MG, 2 large laser Arrow already. Looking forward to seeing what happens with the heavy MGs (depending on the weight of each).

cHMG weigh .5t so I'm not sure if you will see 8 on the cheetah all that often. I mean you will but they will only have 3.5t of ammo or 4.5t if they skip ecm which most don't like doing. That or suicide cheetah with no armor Posted Image

it depends assuming HMG have double normal MG Damage,
(2Dam/Sec, 90m range, huge Crit Chance)

could be fun, but we have to wait and see if they if HMG have less than double MG damage they'll wont be viable,
