Since we have the Thanatos and Bushwacker I think it is time we update the training academy!
It needs a pink Thanatos yelling at you the whole time and making you run circles around towers xD

In all seriousness though, would be nice to see the training grounds updated a bit, new mechs and tech. Give a side for clan mechs and tech as well to help new players understand both sides and tech of the game. (We know alot of players who just get an IS mech cause its cheap, and then get wrecked because of it in QP and FW (stock LRM loadouts ect...))

Also maybe if the AI from MW5 is worth anything maybe for low tiers they can do a players vs bots gamemode for new players (like World of Warships did)

*shrug* just a thought

I second this.

I would love a practice mode that takes place in the open turret area, and have you chase around various mechs that wander and torso twist, killing them in as short a time as possible. It would be great practice for hunting lights, brawling efficiency, and getting used to the lead of your weapons.

Like it's a critical skill that happens so infrequently in actual gameplay that I'm starved for good practice. I just want to spend like 8 hours straight hammering on evasive targets, not just targets that move in a straight line in the shooting gallery.

Hmm... That would work.

Mechs can't be dynamically loaded (don't ask), but a checkbox in the Academy menu to include a drop deck could substitute your mechs for those lined up on the mechswapper platforms. A nice time saver.

Not going to be high on anyone's priority list anytime soon, but a good solution that works within the technical limitations.

I'm happy to keep an eye on things in this forum, but remember I'm on MW5 now - and the Academy is considered "good enough" for the moment.

You're not getting any updates till after MechWarrior 5 release.
