At the very least the SR-6 really could use MPL HSL +1 so it can fire each torso's lasers as a group.

Sad that the SR-5 and its bigger engine got cut for the -7./

PGI, would it be possible to have one of the devs make a short gameplay video of the SR in action? Just show one or two variants on a map walking/jumping/shooting in 1st/3rd person?

I feel like that could (would or will be?) be a NGNG vid

SR-5 would have been too similar to SR-1, and a bit of an oddball with no JJ

[Hauptmann Keg Steiner]

Problem is, the SR-7's gonna be a slower SR-6, with fewer hardpoints unless they really inflate it.

One 'mech out of the group missing JJs is fine anyway.

[Hauptmann Keg Steiner]

Heck, on the subject of hardpoints, the one variant they really should have cut was the SR-1, since the -2, -4, and -5 would have done its job better. But base variant or something I guess.

It's probably going to get quirks to make it worth running. I'm curious to see how the 3 variant handles the rear micro pulse lasers since we don't have anything like that in game.

Regardless, congrats to everyone that wanted this mech in game. Still waiting for that Firemoth so that I can die a happy man and complete the MW2 collection.

Rear-facing weapons just get moved to the front, like the Atlas CT lasers.

Hmmm... LB 80-X...

4 Gauss.

[Navid A1]

Maybe they release a would be SR-5 sometime in the future... who knows.

But for now... the Rhino line up is rock solid..... pun intended.
I think this might be the only time a chassis release might have 7 solid performers right out the door. All variants having a niche/role.

P2W confirmed?

something something team might not support, leave you behind; sneaky sneki kills you 1 minute in. etc you might do well doesn't mean you'll win. You should be happier they put time into a new mech in MWO and not MW5 instead of whining about P2W TWO it's a clan mech they'll nerf it to the ground after so long cause clan can't have nice things

And Firemoth, Fire Falcon, Stooping Hawk, and a few more IIC mechs.

[Saved By The Bell]

Heh, how about some fragile, like Sentinel.

If somebody could push up player base.

[Weeny Machine]

As if the game needs another assault mech let alone another assault sniper...

And if they add the Stone Rhino version 6 with 14 energy hardpoints...geez.

I suspect like the Dire Wolf there might be fixed equipment applied to the torsos (e.g. Double heat sink) to prevent such builds. So Maybe LBX60?

However, the current hardpoint listing suggests LBX80 might be a thing.

It's not an omnimech, so no fixed equipment.

[w0qj]

It's been quoted that there's a maximum of 16 active hardpoints active at the same time.

~That's why you get an error if you equip all 16x weapons + AMS onto Crusader Crael (ie: total of 17 active hardpoints).
~For Piranha variants, it was carefully limited to max 16 active hardpoints at a time!)

SR-6 16 hardpoints? I thought the weapon limit was 14.

I'm sad the cockpit items are now cookie cutter and lost the unique feeling they once had : <

I was about to reply in more detail but that tinfoil hat turn you took in the end saved me some time.

And these, tinhats.. Are they in the room with us right now?
