I believe it be best to it have around a medium(ish) Sombrero hat instead a large one, if announced PGI (Mostly likely) will give it a small engine cap just to curve it's potential powercreep, and would love to see the artwork Alex will bring out.

Yeah I think you are right. I think if they made it anything similar to this Glass Spider (Galahad) depiction I would be pretty happy with it. Perhaps just a smaller radar dish and more plate armor over the exposed muscle myomer that the glass spider design originally had (over the kneecap joints) it would look 10 out of 10 in game.

MWO is MP only FPS game. You can bet MWO's Rifleman IIC will have reduced antenna head.

Well its possible, but considering how other mechs have gotten knuckle dragging hardpoints, overlarge side torso hit boxes, all CT shot trap hit boxes, the Annihilator with its long 'neck', etc... I don't know if I would put money on it .

A lot of players will put their money in.

As much as I hate the idea of another clan sniper mech I will admit the clan rifleman looks kind of cool.

You brought up an interesting point about the whole RFL-IIC hero concept. What would everyone here like the Rifleman IIC hero to be? Since more than likely we will see the Prime and 2 for the standard pack, 3 and 4 for the collectors pack, I would like PGI to make the hero variant of the RFL-IIC loosely based around variant 8. Perhaps as some kind of prototype proof of concept mech before the 3085 era.

Maybe a mix of ballistics + energy (cERLL + cAC2 for each arm) + SRM4's for each side torso, giving the mech an all around configuration of energy + ballistic + missiles for players to customize themselves or run stock. The cBAP can get replaced with an ECM because PGI has a thing for slapping ECM's onto clan heroes apparently.

Call it something appropriate for an AA mech like "Sky Avenger"; Something cheesy along those lines.

RFL-IIC-SA

For the unique camo scheme something that has to deal with blue and white skies.

If you have any of your own RFL-IIC hero ideas post 'em here.

I really like the idea of your hero and it does replicate the RFL IIC-8 alot, it brings up interesting builds once figured out but the thing holdng it back is how much hardpoints it will have. But I'll post one once I think about it.

Edit: Will the camo be something like this



It'll be amazing,to have as a camo for the RFL-IIC hero.

First gimme a Warhammer IIC. Then you can have your Rifleman.

Agreed, but what if they released BOTH at the same time...

It doesn't work that way. Go start a Warhammer thread. It gets real tiring to see people tell others working to get a mech they want in the game that x mech has to come first.

Nope it does not.

I hope the Rifleman IIC gets its radar in the shape of a hat:


Even mechwarrior 2 gave the mech a hat:

Well I have a hero concept ready. I call it the Sky Raüber (Raider in German).
It carries a single Guass in the LA w two tons of ammo, 2x LBXAC2 with 2 tons of ammo in the RA, 2x ATM 3 in the RT, ATM 3 in the LT, 3 tons of ammo split between the torsos. A CERML in the head, light cap in the CT, and ECM in the RT and to round things off 5 double heat sinks.

And the color is something of the modern German airforce or Ww2 German airforce.

May come up with another one later.

I don't really blame him wanting to have the Warhammer IIC. Imo it would be better for PGI to just have both release at the same time, but I agree though on the ignorance aspect that these posters make. It's arrogant and rude to go barging into someone's thread that is dedicated about raising awareness about the RFL-IIC just to sh.itpost about another one.

Really, if you want the WHM-IIC then tweet to Russ and suggest that PGI should release a WHM-IIC/RFL-IIC double pack. Don't be pompous about your self entitled beliefs of which mech should come first on a thread about an entirely different mech.

[Valdarion Silarius]

Bump. I'll probably bump this again closer to Friday when PGI has the town hall. Try to get the word over to Russ about the RFL-IIC during the live stream!

[TheArisen]

Well I might be somewhat concerned with the sombrero actually being a disadvantage but the frontal profile looks like it could be excellent. Really only the sombrero is a concern but if it were thin enough that it's not easily focused then it'd be fine.

[CycKath]

I was all prepared to tweet, but then you had to go and disgust me. There can be only one Hero Rifleman IIC - Star Captain Lee and his Infernal Machine.

There can be more than one hero. So you should still tweet
