Have played for years, but never did well with medium mechs. Always preferred laser vomit and LRM builds. However, over this holiday, learning to play them finally, I've fallen in love with the close range SRM brawler, and while the Griffin 2N was my go-to for a long time, the Hunchback IIC-B just hit a sweet spot in terms of speed, performance, and durability.

Had my best game this evening. Credit to my teammates, who held the line to the very end until I was left with 4 opponents and myself in Canyon Network. Sneaking up on each of the remaining mechs, I gleefully unloaded my 4 C-SRM-A's and 2 C-ER SML at point blank range and emerged the last one standing.

Hi there... that's some nice Match Stats from your HBK-IIC-B's Loadout, even though I had to find a way around imgur's insanity which they have been doing with their site...

By the way, I noticed that your posted images were taken with a camera. Did you know that the "Print Screen"/"Prt Scr" button on your keyboard can capture an image from MWO which then becomes available to you in the "C:\Users\<your-user-name>\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\ScreenShots" directory, and also will not be affected by any visual distortions from your personal playing environment?

I have one of those small keyboards that doesn't have a "print screen" button, and I haven't remapped it.

hunchback is good both IS or clan version, easily one of the most dangerous med mech that even assault/heavies gotta be careful of.

i run dual ac20 on the clan version

Great stuff; finding a mech and loadout that just works for you is a sweet thing!

Just found out:

You can also add color to this Platinum paintjob... I added Escalation Yellow / Escalation Yellow / Escalation Yellow options:

Gold Atlas = Escalation Yellow + Platinum Camo !
Platinum Atlas = Titanium White + Platinum Camo !
Gunmetal Grey = Obsidian Black + Platinum Camo !

You can also change to other colors as you wish!
