Thank you for posting these useful Leaks in advance of the real postings later on! Please keep them coming in the future!

Also, this post was made in order to allow display for the thread's view count because of a forum bug that I detected before.

Quick bit of clarification that the Clan tech IS refits are Wolf's Dragoons mechs.

I thought about including that info, but felt like letting people wonder "is that Wolf's Dragoons mechs? I mean the decal...."

Nice to see the Clan Inner Sphere 'Mechs coming to MWO. Only wish we could cross Tech with the rest of the Catalogue.

Also, no word on the Fire Moth. Why?

i knew it right off the bat. fits the lore.

We got the Jaime Wolf Variant of the Clan Archer. Any chance we could get the 2W-C?

Also known as Archer C 2.

Too bad about the TBT-7M, as a LRM mech it really benefited from the velocity quirk.

Good hunting,

I really appreciate the work the Cauldron people do to keep the game fresh.

However, I do wonder about removing the missile velocity quirk on the Trebuchet 7m. Is that really necessary? That mech can't be causing any problems on the battlefield, can it?

Without its missile quirks, the TBT-7m is really weakened. It's only marginally viable with its existing quirks.

I hope you'll reconsider.

Why the nerf to the TBT-7M?

Tell me where the bad LRM touched you.

Pretty hilarious that even an insignificant LRM quirk gets removed. Very telling. Cauldron literally HATES lrms, its infuriating.

Thunderbolts. I switched mine over to them when the quirks changed from LRM15 to "missile", as did others I assume . It still keeps these quirks with this patch, it's not exactly crippled for either LRMs or Thunderbolts.
MISSILE COOLDOWN-25%
MISSILE HEAT-20%

[foamyesque]

I'm curious about the asymmetry between the Clans getting HSL6 SRM4s and the Sphere not.

[w0qj]

Thank you for taking the time to let us know of this patch leak! Much appreciated!

(Looks like quite a patch; looking forward to playing around with this!)

Yes, the cooldown and heat quirks are still good and the mech isn’t crippled. That said, was the velocity quirk so OP that it had to get the nerf hammer?

I could switch to Thunderbolts but they have a shallower arc than lrms which can be a hindrance, not to mention the weight penalty that comes with carrying Thunderbolts, for the same weight you get 10pts less potential damage output (LRM15 vs TB10 (TB2 in Mech DB) )

Good hunting,

I'm curious about the evidence behind removing the TBT-7M missile velocity quirk. Any cauldron folks care to explain how this decision was made?

I'm curious about the thought process as well.
