FIRST

I gotta say, I love how this information is going.

[Pyc_MadWolf]

With each video like this, I want to play this game more and more! Watching this, it's impossible not to fall in love with Smoke Jaguar and follow their path!

[Pyc_MadWolf]

I was right about Ibrahim Ismiril's blood name. He will also participate in Operation Rebirth, his name alone speaks volumes. The coolest thing is that our unit is descended from genes Ismiril.

Let me remind you that Liam Ismiril founded the Clan Smoke Jaguar, even though he was a saKhan. Liam Ismiril is the founder of the first Smoke Jaguar blood name.

Would be brilliant if MW5:Clans would be on GOG.com
I try to buy from GOG.com where possible!

I hereby christen Ibrahim Ismiril‘a call sign as ‘Scarface’.
So which cat did he lose a fight to?
An imported Terran feral cat, Madcat, or a Nova Cat?

(Tongue-in-cheek manner; I’m BattleTech lore ignorant).

According to lore, this is sibco instructor. Only his position with the Smoke Jaguar is actually called Kit Masters.

Makes sense, thanks. I was searching by "commander". Who cares if it's a "commander" or a "master", right?

If you don't find fault with the words, then the meaning is the same. Kit Commander sounds better than Kit Masters to me. For any cadet, his instructor is the commander. And usually the instructors are military veterans.

I'm waiting for Sarah Weaver or the star captain of our cluster to be shown to us . Although I'm waiting for everyone))

He's not a Kit Master, he's a higher rank.

[color=#0F1419]Kit Master would refer to any old trainer that would train up the sibkin. Kit Commander would be the one that is in charge of the entire sibko training facility. (See Ter Rosak's official rank as "Falconer Commander")[/color]

I didn't know that, thanks for the information. It is also known that he holds the rank of star colonel. He is often shown, but will he really be only before the position test (exams) or will he still be with us during the operation? In theory, the star captain of our cluster should be no less important person, and she has never been shown.
Then it is even more logical that a person with such a blood name is a senior officer at the training center.
P.S. Once again, it is clear that the developers are well acquainted with the universe and have read fiction. This is a big plus and respect for them. There are so many stories in the universe to tell and tell in campaigns.

And it's nice that they make references and show us the story using the example of Aiden Pryde. The Jade Falcon Trilogy is the best that has been written by Clans. Nostalgia.

[Pyc_MadWolf]

Will there be infantry in the game?
