Proto AC's are a thing,

I know. Trading with that though, isn't as satisfying as a full burn with UACs, or an extended stack of Protos.

and the Mad Cat III is just lasers and missiles, the only unique thing is the endo-composite and the variant with ferro lammelor

Yeah, but it's a MadCat, and it's nice.

I would love to have the rest of the mad cat line up in game but it up to devs if they want to implement it in, right now I'm fine with the shadhawk iic it been a requested mech for a good while.

maybe that could be achieved through quirks? the ferro lamelor though some reduce damage quirk and the endo composite something else, though it's a battlemech so...

True ferro lamelor have reduce damage mabye like 3-5% and endo comp is just endo steel but take less space than normal endo steel really be good for inner sphere mechs, clans don't really care since there already good as it is

yeah well actual Lamellor would be OP Tbh especially if it's added to all clan battlemechs as a third option...

yeah 20% reduction is OP. i think 10% shoiuld be the max even considered.

Yeah that's alot and inner sphere counter parts is very lacking in comparison

Heavy Ferro offer extra protection but doesn't say how much but it eats up slots quickly

Hardened might be a option it's only draw back is reduce speed which might suck for heavier units already going slow, but offer protection without eating to much space.

Unfortunately, that is almost certainly not going to happen.

yep four legged or triple legged mechs are very likely to never happen simply due to how the current engine works.

Shadowhawk IIC is interesting. It's a mech in which I really don't remember being in any mechwarrior games but maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Can't wait to see it's design from PGI.

My personal choices would have been the Grendel and/or the Septicemia (Pariah) since I think they offer more interesting loadouts that mix ballistic, energy and missile hardpoints with the various omnimech configurations. Grendel would be awesome because it would be pretty tanky for a medium and the Pariah has some very nasty configurations.

The other two clan mechs I would like to see added sometime in the future would be the Turkina and the Kingfisher since we had a Ghost Bear expansion recently. Could be whatever be the next featured captured clan mech in the next DLC.

It has to make sense for mw5 clans.

I wanna added new mw5 merc dlc feature the Clans so down the line they could add more clan invasion Omni mechs as further additions so we have to wait and see down the line.
