4 lbx20 erppc

too hot and too slow in my opinion I would take off the erppc and the behemoth will be able to do it anyway but with JJs and will eventually not cost any real money, and may be more agile and or have better or equal hitboxes and or quirks time will tell for that though, I would either do 5 ac10 or 5ac10 and a erppc I would have to test the heat for that though.

that mean if unlock range skill, got buff and debuff???

none Skill
0~89 - low damage range
90-540 - normal Damage range

if got 100% range skill
0~179 - low damage range
180~1080 - normal damage range

right?

looks like very strange at me

Yes, but what in this game has 100% Range?

More realistically, if a mech has a 10% range quirk, and you full skill range nodes for an additional 15%, that's going to be 25% total which:

transforms 0-89 meters to 0-111
and 90-540 to 112-675

- Nightstar arms have been moved closer to the body to improve weapon convergence

Any Chance of getting a sneak peek of this change?

[PiVoR]

So is Gausszilla a Clan Mech or IS mech with access to Clan weapons?

[The Chancelor]

Gausszilla will be dead after two minutes in each match because he will be abandoned by his team so hard. Nascar in this 32 kph monster lol

Why did PGI equip heatsinks? Without them you can run a slightly larger engine.

Yeah, the energy boat variant is all torso-mounted. SR-6.

That is nuts! Are there any other mechs with that drastic of a difference between variants??? Aesthetically I like the arms more but gameplaywise that seems like a big difference between the chassis.

A clan mech. You can field it in FP when playing as Clan. You can't use it in FP when playing as IS.

[ghost1e]

Very concerning to see a Clan ANH, it'll wreak some havoc in FP for sure. Also, will it have Clan faction patterns? If it has none, that seems off, and I don't think giving it IS patterns is any better.

Also to me at least, the stone rhino looks a little low-quality compared to the other mechs in the game, I hope that's just a product of the screenshots I've seen so far.

I sincerely hope the new map is the one from the legend mech screenshots and not the other ones, having no visibility will be absolutely horrendous.

As for balance changes, this patch looks good, no complaints there at all. But between the new map looking like it's a new auto-AltF4 map, and a (to me) kit-bashed Clan ANH, this almost has me uninstalling.

[MechB Kotare]

Another dark map that favours increasing in game gamma. Nice. Center looks like another domination nascar heaven. You nerf cERMLs twice, and then you release Anni legend with 4x LL + 8x ML. Stone rhino looks nice, but i guess ill just wait for mw6 to play it.

[Vellron2005]

After reading these patch notes, 2 things are CRYSTAL CLEAR:

1) The game is being violently, absurdly, and exclusively shifted towards ballistics. Gotta sell Gausszilla by making it as OP as conceivable. I mean those 5 Gauss rifles ain't gonna play themselves.. I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

2) If gauging by the mechs like Gausszilla, next legendary should be a LRM500 mech.. just to match the power level..

Come on guys, really? This is getting absurd..

Congrats on the new map though.. Although it seems like another "eports arena" type map that will naturally cater to face hugging and sniping.. Viability T.B.D..

I feel VERY catfished by the Stone Rhino's more round CT in the concept art... Daniel VS the Cooler Daniel.... Still getting it but it went from a 10 to a 7 at best...

GAUSSZILLA??? Clan weapons on an Annihilator??? Who told you I just got paid???

Lol me too sort of, thought Stone Rhino RT,CT,LT would be alittle smother less blocky, more like the supernova

[Bud Crue]

I don't really care/am not concerned by any of the changes or additions, but one fairly minor thing is gnawing at me: in most of my QP games lately there seem to be a good 5-6, and occasionally more, assaults on each side (ironically to my point, last night there were two matches where one or both teams had 6 lights on a side). The day this patch drops I fully expect to see a few matches with nearly all assaults on both sides, perhaps with one or two light/med back stabbers trying to play the odds. Its going to be epic for awhile, or miserable; perhaps both.

SR quirks when?

Looks good though, it'll be fun to pilot, even if the huge spinal mounts will get me killed a lot.

Range quirks and range skill nodes now affect the 90m range bracket as well.

that mean
the minimum range for ppc is 81 when have the 10% range increase skill? or it will be 99?

does that apply to ATM as well?

[simon1812]

Gauszilla in the picture seems to be packing clan weapons, nobody wants to talk about that? Is it an error or what's going on?

[BumbleBee]

GuassZilla is a Clan variant of the Annihilator.

A Ghost Bear one IIRC

• Annihilator Bryan Gausszilla Apparently based on the Annihilator C2, this customized variant carried a fifth Gauss rifle in addition to the standard Gauss Rifle layout, with only eight tons of ammunition altogether. It was the customized personal 'Mech of early-twenty-ninth-century Clan Ghost Bear Star Colonel Bryan Kabrinski, and apparently a unique modification given the note (as of 3074) that the 'Mech was "lost to history".^[15] Known as Gausszilla in its time,^[15] it is obviously a nod to the somewhat famous noncanonical Gausszilla design by Bryan Nystul but it should be noted that it is indeed a slightly different design: It has 14 tons of armor (instead of 11.5), double heat sinks (instead of regular heat sinks), less ammunition (8 instead of 9 tons), and no secondary weapons. BV (2.0) = 2,455^[16][17]

One thing that this could maybe open up is the possibility of an IS Behemoth Legendary

Any idea of Gauzzillas max engine rating, didn't see it in pictures or I'm blind...

It will be 99m All range brackets extend outwards from you by range quirk/skills

Would make sense to be other way IMO

You wanna go too fast! And heat eff. is good enough if you don't insist blasting that ERPPC every time CD allows.

If you read previous pages of this thread it was talked about.
