Still, 40 tonners aren't the most efficient for 7/11s, that's 45 and 50 tonners (however for 8/12s, 40 tonners are pretty much tied with 35 tonners for 8/12 efficiency). In other words, lets try and get us a Grendel

I'm not against the Gendel, I just like the Coyotl more due to actually having used them and found their combination of speed, firepower and armour to be really good in actual play.

Depends on whether you are talking about for the BV or not, for the BV I would prefer the Viper (especially since it can do the Preta Dominus build essentially but with Clan tech). Though the Viper could use a rework with new tech to incorporate iJJs.

Lobo

Blacklanner is the safe bet....

PGI/MW4 original? Hellhound made offical part of canon, not the conjure/*not named clan* IIC. But the mean 55t mech from MW4, also make it an Omnimech by idk, Hellshorses?

And I would much rather have a gun boat oriented 55t then a speed demon....Stormcrow is plenty fast enough for its tonnage, give me that heavy hitter now with all the guns!

MW4 Hellhound was 50 tons.

Oops forgot I guess lol. Well feed it some Locusts and get it up to 55t

I am going to have to throw my weight at the LOBO

[Bombast]

I got bored, but was stuck not being able to commit to anything (Pie was in the oven and I had to check it periodically), so I got to spreadsheeting.

65% chance OP is going to have to give away a mech, but anyone who voted for a Black Lanner is gonna have to sacrifice a blood relative to the RNG Gods.

NOTE: Kind of ignored OPs rules. I did not discount posts with multiple mech names, either logging the first one mentioned, or explicitly the one they chose if they listed many but picked on. Ignored any post that listed a bunch without picking.

Black Lanner


I know its been said, but that is almost surely what it is going to be, based off of the poll in my sig.

How many tons of pod space on that? Lol

sure. but why. Aside from your forumite poll which has X value, why should it be brought into the game rather than some of the other options. What does it bring to the table, other heaping spoonfuls of masochism.

"sweet I have enough room for 6 Er-smalls, 1 ER large and a Srm-4 sans Artie and a single dhs that will not keep it cool (because clan dhs boating is a thing for a reason). "

Much fun. Can not wait.

OUT NOW

THE 55 ton VIPER!!!

More than a Myst Lynx/Cheetah/Viper? I think its like 11 or something. Good thing ER MLs only weigh 1 ton lol. Something like an HLL and ER MLs will probably be okay.

I'm not saying its what I want, I'm just watching trends on mech releases and my poll.

I don't really care about anything that isn't a heavy or assault nowadays, and even then, my interest in heavies is marginal.

My poll has a decent track record.

Nova Cat
Osiris (PGI was smart enough not to do a Hollander. However bad the Black Lanner is it actually won't be THAT bad)
They did do the Arctic Wolf even though it was in second place... but that just means I don't see another popular enough option..
Thanatos
Hellspawn
Piranha (Fire Moth DQ'd due to super speed)
Clan Medium... Shadow Hawk IIC is in second place, but yeah... I dunno. Still betting on the Black Lanner. Not saying its the best option or a great mech, so your "But it sucks" argument is completely wasted on me. You can give that to PGI when they announce it.

Personally looking towards the future, whenever they announce the next assault.

Maybe if we don't talk about it, it will go away.

and one " last but it sucks "- basically looks like a stormcrow.

Honestly I wouldn't mind a PGI-created 95 ton Clan assault over the existing options.

You no want the Derpina?

You mean a worse Whale with JJs forced upon it? Nope, not one bit. It was a cool mech in the Mechcommander 2 mods but I have no desire to see it in here.

You trying to get me #triggered?

As someone who likes the Dire I would take one with slightly less fire power if it had better agility/torso twist, just for a different flavor.

I would still use the Dire though.
