Nah I never gave up, lol. Thanks for the support though and bumping the thread. Just patiently waiting like usual.

Marauder, Warhammer... oh wait, they also got the https://www.sarna.ne...hoenix_Hawk_IIC and, failing that, PGI can go with the much-needed https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Griffin_IIC and https://www.sarna.ne...Thunderbolt_IIC that everyone asks so much about! Let us admit that they are too afraid of scaring off spheroid players to introduce Clan mechs that do not suck. Also every time I look at that radar antenna I keep having this nagging idea about the hero variant...

Yeah! They'll never introduce the Kodiak, Huntsman, Linebacker, Marauder IIC, Supernova, Mad Cat Mk II, Piranha, Blood Asp, Incubus, Vapor Eagle or Warhammer IIC!

Wait a minute...

Yeah, you forgot the great Timber Wolf and Night Gyr. They are so balanced now that even proverbial Davion loyalists have a chance! And nevermind all the recent IS assaults with double heavy cheese rifles, they are totally balanced as well.

If you struggle vs HGauss Assaults, I feel bad for you. Do you also struggle vs MG Lights?

Feels bad, man.

Struggle? As in, this game demands skill now? Is this Quake or something? Oh wait, in Quake the weapons are the same for everyone and the devs actually do their job. My bad.

He's tier 3, what do you expect? Torso twist and use terrain as cover?

Wait, are tiers actually indicative of anything now? As in, they brought the increase in line with the decrease? Not to my knowledge. Also positioning is better practiced in R6 Siege, and there you actually suffer for not doing it.

You totally should, they standardized the champion tier distribution and abilities cooldown, and matchmaker seems to actually work now. It is quite a different game from how it was a year ago.

Tiers may not be but Jarl's list is ... Tier 3 indeed.

I would have preferred if they did a duo or quad IIC pack instead of a single Warhammer IIC. Though I'm glad that announcement of the mech pretty much confirms that the whole HG fiasco is under wraps now, I'm willing to bet that whatever mech announcement will be released at Mech Con 2018 will be either an individual IS classic like the Crusader, or an entire IS classic pack to promote MW5. Maybe a slight chance for another PGI original. I really hope that if they go with another classic pack, that it will not consume future empty month slots like the Charger/Hatamoto-Chi did. I'm pretty much burnt out on waiting, especially since we had no mech announcement for November.

I will. Will, if you are reading this and wanna send Russ another tweet sometime soon to remind him about our favorite sombrero mech by the time that January - February rolls around feel free to. I think it would be awesome to get an official announcement at least by February because A) that's the time that the Warhammer IIC releases and B} that's the month of my birthday.

If you don't then I'll get around it sometime soon.

By the holy moon, I hope the head hp and ST hp don't be that ugly. The arms tho is quite good imo.

During a PGI stream, Arista showed this model so people would know what each hardpoint placement would look like on the Warhammer IIC.
