Yeah, sure. Every new mech must have a slim profile, high cockpit, high mounts, and a big engine cap with all the hardpoints.

You want every mech in the game to look like this?

Nope. If I did, I wouldn't be wanting the Howler. Besides, I'm more irritated by how much of a cashgrab this was. All we got were a bunch of half-baked nostalgia mechs. We could have gotten something more useful than this(as well as mechs that were actually iconic to the Civil War), such as the Fafnir. Instead we got a bunch of MW4 misfits.

Stop right there, sunshine! Have you seen the storm crow? I don't know of anyone calling that thing the Hunch Back of Notre Clam.

Thats because people have stopped talking about it, except to bring up in FW tonnage threads. The Storm Crow has long since been supplanted by the Hunchie IIC and the Huntsman.

The Mk.II is actually poised to be one of the best assaults in the game, if not the best. It can run gauss PPC like the Kodiak, except with the gauss protected in the arms like the Night Gyr. And jumpjets. Can also run LB40+SRM24, just like the Scorch.

The Uziel will be the first IS mech that can poptart since the BJ-3 was nerfed. It can run 2 ERPPC, or 4 LPPC, or 2 HPPC. Also can do dual UAC5 better than the ENF and CRB. Also the first jump-capable 50-tonner with 6 energy, and probably will handle XL better than the CRB.

The Annihilator I expect to be a worse Dire Wolf. The Cougar I'm actually really excited for because it's a slower ECM Adder with much more powerful loadouts, but most people will consider it **** based on the speed alone.

Dunno about the Uziel being better with XL as those sides remind me a lot of the Night Gyrs large and easy to hit sides.

We should be getting LFE's around the same time as the Uziel...

But you said XL instead of LFE. Which is also why I am not getting me a Bushwacker yet.

Except it's got gigantic STs, most of it's hardpoints are set below the cockpit(this means that you have to expose the entire torso to fire over hills), it a 90 tonner(that means 2 ton JJS), it's got Timby ears, and won't get any quirks because its a Clan Battlemech.

I don't have any Bushwackers just 'cos I'm not the keen on them. I'm one of those strange mech pilots who buys the mechs I like the look of.

Nice quad action here.

Whoever made that should make the next mech warrior game , would give PGI a run for there money.
