Ikr? With less armor... not looking good. Hope for the sake of everyone that bought a pack it will have good quirks

I would love to see a size comparison of it to a battlemaster.

As a matter of fact.. I'll hit up chris and see if that's something he can do.

PGI isn't going to ever rescale mechs after all the effort they went through for the previous global pass. The most you can hope for is compensation for geometry (i.e. hopefully the Wallhammer IIC doesn't have dump truck agility) rather than actually fixing it.

Why are those hardpoints so low? That's unnecessary sabotage.

PGI is still utterly terrified of the laser vomit boogeyman.

Did you see those giant sidetorsos on Marauder and Marauder IIC?
Come on man, it won't be any harder to hit them on Marauder II than it is on MAD and MADIIC.

EDIT- I did not realise just how tired I was.. I just saw Marauder instead of Warhammer :|

Seems about the same width as the IS Warhammer to me. That mech does fine so not to worried about it.

The Gargles have some of the the worse firepower to weight ratio in game, the Victor is just now bouncing back into popularity after the VTR-9A1.

Victor has barndoor profile from the front. Gargles is slim yes, but only cause it is very tall.

You need to both look again and remember that the IS Warhammer will be smaller.

Also, is that you, Viktor Drake?

Edit: answered my own question, and the answer is yes. I knew I recognized the contrarian streak.

That depends on how you use the firepower. I have two Gargoyles one at 86 Alpha, the other at 89 Alpha. Both make good use of HML's and SRMs for fairly outstanding brawl potential especially since their top speed is 87.1 kph with tweak which allows them to get in close or fade away as needed. Also because they are regarded as weak due to that low pod space to weight ratio, PGI has graciously given the Gargoyle fairly exceptional movement profiles as well, making it very agile and responsive to the throttle. My only complaint is like most Clan mechs, the Gargoyle is a tad bit more fragile than I like and you have to make up for it by applying a bit more piloting skill and keeping the mistakes to a minimum. Overall I think they are good mechs but have a tad higher skill ceiling to consistently do well with.
