Uncle Totty. Afraid that was completely unintentional I wish I could claim it was on purpose!

Just like every good warhorn should be.

Cockpit - Awesome! Cramped looking, a bit crude, exposed bars, eye slit windows, just right for the angry fish.

Warhorn - Me no like - sounds like a chintzy sound effects from a B movie (which is actually just right)

edit post stream: couldn’t watch majority of it, but the shoulder mounted ballistic/PPC makes me giddy.

It REES!!!!

I love it.

[Ukos]

its a lovely little easter egg , as the warhorn sounds very much like the stridulation the pirahnas make in the film of the same name when they attack something

In the patch notes, says MC/CB won't be released until summer. Is that normal? First time I purchased a mech, was a little surprised seeing that.

VERY VERY SUSPICIOUS

[Rude Dog 2112]

Actually not, watched it earlier today when it was live.

[Conner Ward]

Google just recommend the stream to me, so it is up.

the importance of ECM is massively overstated, and i’ve felt this way about it even before the nerfs. i suppose it has some value in deterring streak boats, but i would gladly trade it for 12+ hardpoints and clantech.

Then why is it used so often? You did read the part where I stated that it "is owned by about half of the IS", quiaff?

This is going to be such an obnoxious mech. I still cant believe no one cares that you can mount 12 machine guns on a clan light and only 4 on inner sphere. Where is the ROF machinegun buff for innersphere for balance ?

Obnoxious is the right word. I have ordered one, but I will never get out of it because I don't want to fight them.

They look literally awful to play against. Fast, smaller than a commando, with insane firepower.

I am expecting Thor turning up wielding the nerf hammer.

The running animation looks like it's got a stick up its butt, no hip movement at all.

if you're gonna point fingers at overused mechs per side, maybe you Trashborn could stop using Marauder IIcs and Hellbringers constantly. also, FYI, one of the main reasons the Pirate's Bane is so common is because it's incredibly CHEAP, and the ECM is just a bonus for a mech that is already incredibly fast. fact remains however, that about 60% of any clan drop you ever see is ECM mechs. you wanna point fingers at the IS, you might wanna remove the hypocrisy on your own side.

plenty of viable non-ECM mechs on both sides. have the sense of the average surat, and try something else. ECM only gets used heavily to COUNTER ECM a lot of the time (since it really does SFA against a competent LRMer anyways)... so it's really just an escalation on both sides due to overuse of it.

Well... I know what my priority target is going to be.

[Dee Eight]

Very claustrophobic field of view. Worse than any assault in the game. Unless you're running a very wide fov setting with a hugh (or multiple) monitors...you're not going to enjoy driving this mech in a brawl for all the things you collide into.

[Evil Bonsai]

Was just checking loadouts on the various versions, can anyone explain: on some says max 4 lasers w/o heat spike (pir-1). On others, it's 6 (pir-3). I just might end up stripping the versions with max 4. Use the parts for other mechs, if I can.

[LordFatman]

mg going to need ghost heat way to many on 1 mech
