PGI's art department for the model, its animations, and the cockpit simply knocked it out of the park. If this isn't in the top 10 mechs for attention to detail put into its making, then something is wrong.

I have the MW2/MW2Mercs/MW2GB tracks in the background!

Looks great, super stoked for the Frenzy. Probably gonna be the only mech that I don't repaint, looks awesome with the pink, white and black.

What setup you gonna rock on it? SRM 4/6 combo?

I'm thinking it'll settle on 8xSRM4, though I wanna try 8xSRM2 with a big engine for fun.

What about you? Since you've already given it a go in the testing grounds.

Anyone getting this; learn to use those missile doors.

You basically have 20% more health when they're closed.

Do they add 0 firing delay?

This is going to be a SRM/MRM heavy chassis. The LRM nerf kind of ruined the original purpose of the mech, by rendering support and IDF fire useless.

I'm still gonna give it a try with a pair of 15s on the variant with the cooldown quirk. I had a run of really fun games with my 3xLRM10 archer lately. It's far from being a super great build on paper but it works for some reason.

I didn't pre-order the Dervish, but I will pick one up with it is available for MC. I particularly like the torso mounted missile hardpoints and adequate energy weapon hardpoints. One of my most successful combos before the nerf was the Arctic Wolf and Storm Crow with twin LRM 15s and 4 ER Sml lasers. I'm still grossly frustrated with the new missile mechanics, especially the slow lock times for IDF, even with maximum sensor quirks. We shall see...

Saw a few players rocking MRM's and MLAS on this last night, to decent effect.

JayZ snagged a 1300+ with just 2 MRM30's in one game, playing as an MRM Poptart of all things.

Edit: forgot to mention, but having fought it, it seems surprisingly tanky for a 55 tonne mech.
