My guess is that PGI either gives those XL-engined IS OmniMechs massive armor and structure side torso bonuses to protect their engines or PGI makes their XL engines some special irremovable equipment with specific rules, so that those IS OmniMechs will no die due to side torso loss.

well, i hope so. I like the IS Omnimechs and i am waiting for them for years, but it was clear from the beginning that they have major drawbacks in their design because of the XL Engine. Otherwise you wont see much of them in the game like other not so good designs

Likewise, with Tenshi. Especially with leg-mounted weapons.

PGi said two years ago that leg-mounted weapons are not going to happen.

And other 'Mechs. Yes.

[Samziel]

"A completely new chassis" and "redacted is coming and thats my baby" sound like a new PGI creation (RGH, SNS). Or just refers to the fact that BHK is basically a Nova reskin.

Nice to see Black Hawk Ku being a booster pack.

Do people here care more about the IS omnis with XL engines or the IS omnis with single heat sinks?

I guess that people here are waiting to see how the incoming Black Hawk-KU works before caring about other IS OmniMechs.

after the buffs they've received, singles actually aren't too bad (and in some cases even outperform doubles). they're still generally worse than doubles, but they're not cripplingly awful like they once were.

[FRAGTAST1C]

Please consider releasing these mech packs on Steam as well. Thanks.

[Reno Blade]

Very cool.
looking forward to the next patches even more so.

Maybe we are lucky and get the Turkina and then Templar, Sunder, Avatar and Hauptman. And sometimes later the Tenshi

I hope we get clan rotary auto canons, and ammo quirks for piranha-1.

Cauldron has stated a DEFINITE no on Clan RACs.

We can ask, beg, plead, and the answer will remain NO.

Unless Russ says otherwise.

Nope. Not a newb. I promise ya. Total Founder Player. Long time player since the start of the game.

And trust me, I've done more bitching and complaining ever since.

Plus, I did ask about the Clan RACs, Streak LRMs, and ER Pulse Lasers, including Light, Heavy and ER Flamers. All were shot down with a definitive NO!

Unless Russ, Daeron, and Matt say otherwise. We're just whistling into the wind,

Still, the announcement did say some good exciting things are coming to the game. So I say take a wait and see, and lets see what happens in next weeks patchy notes.

I think it's a definite no on any weapon that will create stunlocks. So no tsemp either. Although I would love some clan heavy flamers....

[Hawk819]

Well, as I said, we'll need to see where this leads. I could be wrong about all I've said in previous posts, etc.

So I'm taking it easy, and let this go wherever it may lead.

Nice, wish I played at the start. But, I’ve read and watched lore about the IS onnimechs. Don’t they suck literally? Not as an insult. People constantly bad talk the clans mechs, tech and culture.

Actually in Mechwarriors 3 and 4, IS Omnis were actually good because you didn't have to deal with the side torso XL problem. In the TT, I think that you need 3 side torso hits to the XL Engine until the mech was rendered combat ineffective. But it's only in MWO that has that problem were one bad side torso hit will get you due to the XL engine.
