Absolutely not. It is rubbish with its locked single heatsinks. The IS Light Omni you want is the Raptor.

I don’t know why the garbage mechs come up.

IS Omni wave wise choices:

Raptor
Men-Shen
Blackhawk KU
Sunder

Start there and see what it takes to balance them.

You will never get IS Omni's because they will essentially break the game.

How closed-minded do you have to be to think this way?



They won't break the game. At all.

Close-minded enough to see this game has been on a downhill trend for years....IS omni's will break the game fundamentally.

You gonna actually try to explain that one or just hope people believe your unsubstantiated claims?

Can you explain your assertion? Do you have any reasoning to back up such a claim?

I would like the DRG-1N quirks for the AC/5 returned to the way it was before it was nerfed for the 2 AC/5 being too strong because of its fire rate. With the introduction of the RAC/5 and RAC/2, the old fire rate of the DRG-1N will not out strip the RACs but will give the good ole' Dragon a fighting chance again.

I, as Star Colonel in Clan Nova Cat, would love to see the following:

Huntsman D, E, and H

IICs for the Shadow Hawk, Wolverine, Griffin, and Locust.

These are necessary for the Touman.

Pulverizer would also be good addition.

I will not ask for Dezgra Inferior Sphere `Mechs.

No they won't. The only one that might raise an eyebrow is the Blackhawk-KU by virtue of being able to fire 6+6 IS Medium Lasers, but in terms of damage that is nothing that a Clan Nova can't already do and it doesn't get an IS XL to cap its potential.

The Men Shen will be a punchier, but far more fragile, Crab. The Raptor will be a slow Flea with JJs and 50% more guns. The rest of the IS Omnis are objectively worse than their existing Battlemech counterparts.

He doesn't even know what he is saying. I think he means that they would be so bad that they would be broken in an unplayable sort of way. Which is false base on the examples you mentioned.

And there is nothing broken about some of the other options either. Better/worse comes down to quirks and agility like all IS mechs.

The Sunder wouldn't be nearly as dead on arrival as people seem to think.

Sincerely, someone who routinely runs XL Highlanders, Banshees, Victors, and Chargers, and rarely get's bitten by the practical disadvantage of an IS XL.

The only mech I want is the Imp.
Dropdeck Imp, Imp, Urby, Urby and all will be fine!

I would love to eventually see the following frames added to the game:

Stone Rhino/Behemoth
Longbow
Stinger & Wasp
Crusader
Goliath
Scorpion
Valkerie

Ideally after these would be added a giant bundle for those along with Thunderbolt, Griffin, Phoenix Hawk Shadow Hawk, Wolverine, Warhammer, Archer, Battlemaster, Marauder, Locust and Rifleman could be put together and sold as the "F HG Bundle".

Seriously though, Stone Rhino, Longbow and Wasp (and/or) Stinger would be wonderful additions.

I would like to see the timeline progressed to the 3060's. Simple reason, I want a Kintaro K, all that barndoor goodness with a 150m jump.
And since MWO is now canon why not throw an ECM in there while we are at it.

Mech: Raven

Very sluggish going from forward to reverse and back again, even with all mobility skills maxed. Seems like it takes days to get from full reverse to moving forward again, and vice-versa.
