How would this be if 12 people use these setups in a group of 12 in Clan warefare? Assuming they could coordinate well and maximize the setups.

The myst lynx can vary in design. Those are just examples I came up with on the spot.

So, good, mediocre, bad, horrible, other?

The supernova was from when it still had a quirk for ppc velocity. It might be good to set it back to no TC and maximum DHS. Unless the velocity can be used to enough of an advantage. It used to get 2000 range and 2015 velocity. You could probably use the Supernova with the 4 high shoulder mounts also and 4 ERSL's as well or something similar. I'll note, from experience, the PPC's in the hand is useful. So is the velocity when at max. If it's not good enough switch the TC for more heatsinks.

I also swore the mist lynx ecm used to be guardian and cloaked others. Is this true or am I thinking of my commando.

I am not a fan of this idea for several reasons:

Direwolf and Supernova are both incredibly slow, if attacking on siege mode or playing conquest, this will cost your team alot of tactical adaptability.
The MLX with ECM have fewer guns than an Urbie, not a very good filler IMO.

I would suggest Switching those two Assault mechs for a pair of MAD-IIC, then grabbing a Viper and a Cheetah instead of the two MLXs.

Of Course if everyone just sits in a firing line of DWF/SNV waiting for the enemy to march around a certain corner I could imagine this working decently, IF you have a MLX or two among the biggies so you know where the enemy is coming from.

It could work well for defense on certain maps, if the enemy were not expecting it.

in my experiance Mist Iynx is not anywhere near as hard to kill as most other Lights, and if you want ECM you have to give up half your potential firepower, so you would likely have just 2 lasers and ECM, or 4 lasers without (although in August we will get the MLX-G able to take 3E+4MGs with ECM which may resolve that issue) the problem is the MLX cannot beat any other Lights. is dead against most meadiums and does not realy have the firepower to take down heavy or assualt Mechs or O Gens quickly, the Viper, Arctic Cheetah or Jenner IIC are all much better light Mechs (yes I know Viper is technicly a medium).

as for taking the slowest Mechs the Clans have, if the enemy were not expecting it you would have a serious advantage but if they knew what you had they would ether close fast or stay out of range depending on your/their loadouts.

If you wanted go 2 assualts KDK with MAD IIC or WHK, or GAR would give you a lot more flexibility, yes you would have a bit less firepower but having a reasionable chance of being able to close with the enemy massivly outweighs the margional loss of firepower.

ultimately unless you are about as effective in Lights as assualts I think trying to squeeze 2 assualts into a Clan dropdeck will hurt more than help.

I added ECM/PPC mist lynx as an option. PPC

I think it can get 12 8 shots off at max heat and weapon skills before overheating. That is with constant fire.

2 ppc MLynxs could be devestating as a little mech.

I also added possible skill tree layouts for the direwolf build:

Added possible Civil war builds to the OP:

Mist Lynx (ERSL's are standins for MiPL's. 34 damage/s and over 300 damage continous fire.)
MBUltra (ERSL's are standins for MiPL's.)
