Snub PPCs for my Awesome 8Q and my poptart Vindicator. The latter will appreciate it most for the extra tonnage and slots it will bring to 45 ton mech.

RACs of course will be fun.

I'm curious to see what becomes of MRMs the most. Will they be the great damage dealers a good portion of people are expecting them to be or direct fire LRMs with too little velocity to be effective at 'medium' range.

[Jackal Noble]

My OCD is drooling over a title fix.

Otherwise RACs, and the ppc family....woohah

HMGs for mah clan light/meds.

[Athom83]

MRMs on my Bushwacker and Warhammer.

[Dago Red]

MRM's, snub nosed PPC's and LBX's in various sizes.

What can I say if there's a brawl to be had I'll be there and I see all of those enhancing my stable in that arena.

ER mediums to drag my range profile to close to even on my regular large plus mediums laser vomit setups could be nice as well.

[Felicitatem Parco]

Lovers of the ISLPL will like the ERMLs to fit the same range bracket

MRMs will be Ghost Heat limited to one launcher and fire a stream of slow missiles , so they will mostly be for anti-Assault use. I will likely put them on my ECM lights and mediums as backstabbers.

RACs will be fun, but I have a sneaking feeling that PGI will Ghost Heat them to 4.

I love the idea of the new PPCs. Those will be funfunfun.

ATMs will bring more firepower to each Clan Missile Hardpoint... So I will remember to bring more AMS.

The HMG might bring my Blackjack Arrow out of mothballs.

Not too excited about heavy Gauss sine it will be for STD engines only, but if you can fire both at once then it might have a leg to stand on against twin AC/20 on a LFE vehicle.

Inner Sphere LBX. I already got my laughs out of my system over those. Not interested

Inner Sphere UACs... I don't like jamming unless it involves music or fruit.

Only three weapons I'm craving right now.

Heavy lasers: A weapon system I can used for brawling or sneaking butt shots on assaults with my Linebackers, Jenners, and maybe a Executioner or two.

ATM's:


Need I say more?

And Heavy Guass Rifle: Come on laugh at me in my assault when I blast your ST off and cackle like a mad man.

[Exilyth]

M-Pods
... or is this thread limited to upcoming tech from the civil war update?

I'm most interested in LFE, followed by stealth armor. I just fear stealth armor will be OP or DOA depending on implementation details.
Not being able to switch ammo makes the smaller LBXs questionable.
Rocket launcher splat archer might be fun for a day.

[Beaching Betty]

Heavy machine guns for my Arrow!

[P10k56]

MRMs for my Bushwackers.
Hope MRMs will be effective at least at 600m

[Maker L106]

First love is Dakka, so RAC / L / H Gauss. so yeah.

I did that just for your OCD suffer the inability to change it.

[Captain Polux]

RACs

[Humpday]

Probably MRMs, Light and snub PPC. I think racs are going to suck, probably look cool but suck functionally, I mean we have no information yet on their implementation so we(I) can't really say but if we could speculate...
...spool time, jamming, projectile speed, extended facetime with the enemy, yeah no. Its not like UACs where you can rip off 2 shots and duck down, you gotta hold that sucker on target...and good luck if the target is moving...I don't think I want to be staring down a KDK-3 with uacs5/10. Maybe with the annihilator that should be able to carry the same load out but not with racs unless they have some sort of insane cockpit shake/ blinding ability.

Aren't Medium Lasers already close to the same range? That's at least the pairing I use. Okay, 270 to 540 vs 365 to 730, I guess the ERMLs might be closer to that. Though they are also hotter and we don't know what duration they'll have.

Maybe that's the reason why they "threaten" that energy weapon rebalance/role search patch.

[RestosIII]

ATMs.



I'm also a bit hyped for LAMS, but ATMs are the main one.

[Zigmund Freud]

Heavie gauss for my King Crab. Dual HGauss and maybe some MLs or LRMs on top of that, mmm... AC20s are ok, but having longer range and a bit bigger damage's going to be sweet.
Also i'm afraid they'll nerf the crap out of Hgauss, but before that I'll keep dreaming.

[MechaBattler]

Part of me hopes they'll release the Vindicator variant with ECM and Stealth Armor. Just for funsies. Doubt it'll be terribly good.

Heavy Gauss cannot be mounted in Mech arms. MWO does not feature the mechanic of "crit splitting" which lets you install massive equipment across 2 components. HGauss is 11 crits, and that means it will not fit into an arm with 10 open slots.

[Angel of Annihilation]

HAGs and Clan Rotary AC's.....Oh wait, they somehow forgot to add that Civil War era tech to the Clans.

I've been careful which Mechs I've skilled up thus far, with an eye towards the new weapon systems. ATMs are the one weapon system I'm really interested in. They should be good laughs at short range, and fairly satisfying at mid-range.

ATM? What is that please?... where are you guys reading this?
