Anyone bother that the arctic wolf got the mobility of a 10 to 15 ton heavier CLAN mech ?
from accelleration to turn rate it´s just plain bad ,if not the worst of it´s weight class.
It feels like driving a brick ...
I only hope this will keep PGI from nerfing it further in the Future because it´s already got nerfed from the
beginning.

I mean, it also has the firepower capabilities of a 10-15 ton heavier Clan 'Mech...

that´s simply not true.. the fact that it´s a srm missile boat makes the damage look awesome BUT
its @ 270m range with 0damage beyond.. unlike lasers . U can´t boat more than 4 of them if u want artemis cause you´ll
run outta tonnage for ammo/heatsinks/engine. And without Artemis the danmage spread is that large u actually loose a lot of the damage to the spread u can mx use 6 energyhardpoints which is i´d say average for clan mechs .
you loose the arms as fast as if you´re riding a cheeta . And if i compare it to most other Clan mechs the amount of weapons/tonnage i can equip, fits it´s size/weight pretty well...
For example i can put 8x srm6 with artemis and 4 tons of ammo, or 8x srm 4 with artemis 5 tons of ammo and a couple of heatsinks..
in a huntsman and it´s ten tons heavier and got jumpjets no way you put this in the arctic wolf chassis.

There, happy now?

Though I wasn't really referring to the SRM builds. You can comfortably run six cMPL on an ACW. You will be hard-pressed to comfortably run more than seven on even a Storm Crow. So, any laser build totalling 11-12 tons (which includes cLPL + cERML or cHLL + cERML) runs pretty darn well on the ACW.
