Generally new content is released for MC about 6 months after it first launches, and then if it goes to cbills it takes another 3 months. Note, this won't happen for Legend mechs; those are considered heroes for game currency release and will only be available for MC.

Still an opt in que( for PuGs) would help all cases.


It's not possible, sadly - they did testing, and it just took too long for groups to form. Function of player numbers combined with playing time demographics.

If the Guy's a Hell's Horses, that's not an argument in favor of it being honorable overall.

They do combined arms. Mech pilots *period* in the Hell's Horses rarely go up in the ranks because they see Mechs as solely Support units.
No, he was not a Hell's Horses.

Honestly, it would not. It would be just a five ton lighter Daishi attempting to do the job of the full-sized Daishi, hindered with fixed jump jets that you would have to carry even if you would not like to.



That just means it would get more specialized quirks. It would be totally fine in game, just has to be made.

Hell yeah, Bull Shark is coming! First an IS OmniMech, and now this! It's great!

I think this is the most excited I've been for a new ’Mech ever. Even the Wolfhound IIC (well, WLF-C, but c'mon, we all know what it really is) didn't get me this excited.

Would I like more lights and mediums? Yeah, absolutely. But this wasn't even on my bingo card for the year, and now that it's coming, I can't stop thinking about it; much as I loved the Bull Shark in HBSTech, I didn't even consider it was an option! It absolutely would have been on my wishlist if I had!

I can't wait to play it! The Mako is the one I'm taking aim at playing the most. In the absence of a Thumper cannon, it's the closest thing to the original BSK-MAZ of the bunch! It's such a close match (two of the ERMLs are not in quite the right place, but that's fine) that I wonder if that was deliberate. It looks like a BSK-MAZ if it was built with full Clantech, rather than the inbetween-at-best tech the original version had.

There are some 'Mechs that I barely see in the game because they are almost as good, but not quite as good as other 'Mechs, even if they are quirked. Wasted developers' effort, essentially.

Is it just me or does the PPC barrels on the BSK look like Light PPC barrels compared to the Corsair's?

I got two ?: When will the regular Bull Shark BWS-2 drop? And why aren't we getting with the rest of the pack?


Cause in past, we got variant with both. A regular and a special pattern. This makes no sense.

On October 2024 for MCs and in December 2024 for C-Bills. Then you will have the opportunity to buy the regular BSK-2.

I'm in the view of supporting that the Bullshark should have a 2 arty slots unlocked for free to compensate for the lack of a Thumper piece. At least the MW5 modders will add in the Thumper Cannon thought once they import it for that game, so it's no big deal if it doesn't make it on the mech for MWO.

That lore example was right from the canon BattleTech book.

After all, it is the BattleTech lore that you claim to cherish so much:
