it's a good mech, just too much salt spraying around at the moment to hear many honest appraisals over the noise of tryhards.

in short, its a tricky to use glass cannon which in the right circumstances is wonderfully powerful. It'll definitely be worth your C-Bills when it makes it into the store. If you love piloting the locust you'll take to it very quickly, it only took me a round or two to get the hang of it. My only gripe is the narrow FOV cockpit, other than that its what i expected.

god damn))) what should I do - I like the mech but too much NO )))

You mean the Cryhards


Tryhards would give you an accurate answer

Stay away until Cbills then only buy the mg ones the rest are DOA

[Electron Junkie]

I would have to agree and say wait.

[Pariah Devalis]

Love it. Yeah, it is fragile, being 20 tons. Yeah, the cockpit visibility is questionable - but your main guns can't shoot to the sides, anyways. If you just wait until the fight actually starts before engaging, any backshot is a target of opportunity, and you can put any mech down with 3-4 seconds of focused rear torso weapon fire. At least with the PIR-1. Further, the responsiveness of the mech is phenomenal, and presents the Clans with a truly fast, teeny tiny mech to putz around with.

A disgusting ganking mech. I loves it.

energy only pirahnas are crap...

however the ones with ballistic slots can actually do their job well.

if i wanted an energy only tiny light, i'd grab a spider or a locust.

I love it because it’s the opposite of an easy-mode mech. You’ve got to put in work to do work with this mech.

The Energy only ones are special and that specialness means that you have to make it happened and LEroy JEnkins is not going to make it happen.

[Humpday]

You leave me alive in it and i'll murder all of you.....but then again...

LRMs...derp...
Look at my legs...derp...
Look at my back...derp...
Look at my arms.. derp...

meh...I think its only fun bc its challenging to stay alive in.

[Y E O N N E]

You think that's hard? Now try staying alive in a 20 tonner that you actually have to spend 30-45 seconds of time firing and maneuvering just to crack armor.

With heat management.

I feel the energy piranhas are about equivalent to the energy Locusts in terms of effectiveness. More firepower, better cooling, and clan XL durability for the Piranha vs more speed, agility, and hit points for the Locust.

[Y E O N N E]

People have been building the energy ones poorly and playing them even worse. Ignore the massive hardpoint count and just throw on a quartet of cMPL and poke poke poke.

These things certainly don't seem to be DOA.

They are when I play them.
Step 1: Run at bad guy
Step 2: Turn
Step 3: Run directly into wall and get one-shot

This is more because I am garbage at Light mechs than any failing of the little anklebiter though.

[Tordin]

Its just nice to see the Locust get a clan buddy to run around gunz blazing in and annoy the mind outta assault class pilots.
Now... when can we have our Fire Moth and Flea fellas join the fray?? And dont forget the Wasp, Stinger and other 20 tonners!
