cant have everything now.
i always considered the adder a heavy weapons light, sort of in the same boat as the urbie, and having a microboat build really doesnt make any sense. so thats why its hardpoint count has traditionally been ***. so replace the two 3xmg pods with a laser pod, run a couple hlls and an erml in the head, and still have 8 machine guns (lmgs would work better on this build).

If I count correctly, the JagerMech has 20 structure points in its arm. The HGR explosion destroys the arm, of course, but the side torso can absorb the last few points of explosion - especially, since it is reinforced with additional structure points (+15 points).
Thus, the JagerMech should survive.

Good thing the clan got a bunch of solid mechs this year and the IS got a whole bunch of meme garbage.

Probably, yes. After a few months sometime in 2024 or so.

Inner Sphere CASE is free in tonnage, but it still requires one equipment slot in the location that it protects. If you put HGR there, CASE will not fit.
That is difference between IS CASE and Clan CASE: Clan CASE requires 0 tons and 0 slots.

It will be around 13.9 maximum with an LPL with max duration nodes.
Note that the duration quirk on the Jenner is +20%. A positive number, which increases the burn duration of lasers.
Ahh yes mathed that as negative...

These are clantech versions of IS chassis, that Dire Wolf was still a clantech machine. A more apt question would be where is the Black Hawk KU (based on Nova) or Rakshasa (based on Timber Wolf). Next possible IS copycats would be Avatar (of Mad Dog), Sunder (of Summoner) or Arctic Fox (of Kit Fox)

Wolfhound IIC a.k.a. the real "Grinner" was a Clan 'Mech. It started as an IS 'Mech, but it was upgraded with the Clan technology so deeply that it counts as 100% Clan for gameplay purposes.
That Victor's Daishi was a Clantech product right from the start.

The "real" Grinner was re-built from the ground up starting with a clan endosteel skeleton - ultimately all the Clan bells and whistles - because the original was pretty much destroyed. That's something slightly different than being "upgraded". Just because we can change endosteel in MW:O nilly willy doesn't make the Grinner a mere upgrade of the pre-existing Grinner but something more akin to Urban Mech IIC or other IIC variants that may have started out as IS / Star League models but were rebuilt with clan tech from the start.

This argument would certainly feel more convincing if this new version of Grinner was given to clan players with access to IS tech instead of clan tech. But as it stands the comparison between an IS chassis being available to players as clan tech (as a IIC variant) and thus theoretically being usable in FP as a Clanner is the apple to orange comparison to a clan mech still with clan tech for an IS player in FP.
As far as QP is concerned there's zero issues with introducing all three known special Dire Wolfs into MW:O with their original clan tech that weren't "one-off" versions:
- Victor's Prometheus
- Hohiro's Hohiro
- Natasha's actual Widowmaker

Hauptmann be the closet thing the IS will get to a Dire Wolf
I would love that, too. However, we can beg, plead, and cry, but they're not going to budge.
Hell, I want the damn Widowmaker Dire Wolf. But AFATC, its the same as the Black Widow Warhammer. So yea. . .
Too us, it's two different `Mechs, but with the same person: Natasha Kerensky. So, yea, no Dire Wolf Widowmaker for me. Cause they released the Black Widow Warhammer.

I just quoted the official BattleTech product. If you do not like the quote, it is no my problem.
