I wasn't aware the Black Hawk-KU was a "failure". The initial rollout was pretty good, and even now, you still see them every now and then.
If you're worried about that XL engine it has, it really didn't stop it that much. In this day and age, if you aren't performing well in an XL engine, you probably aren't performing very well in a light or standard engine either; they have their use cases for sure, but using them purely out of fear of getting killed by side torso destruction is giving you a false sense of security.
Anyway. This is cool. I only care about the base and B configurations myself, but I might pick up the pack when I have the money to spend.
I wonder what that decal's QR code goes to...

Without knowing how it's compensated for having only two guns, I'm not enthusiastic about running the Cbill bonus variant at all.

Other mixed pod builds can also use the SC effectively. For example 2 SRM6 in torsos and 10 SPL in arms.
The CT is quite strong and can be a variant of typical builds depending on whether you want to invest the 1 ton or not.
Also... who here has scanned the QR code that's in the Gauntlet decal?

Whoever lead the project needs to be canned or thanked for their efforts and dropped from future projects, it is so awful.

A whole 15% Weapon Velocity? WOW! That's SPICY!
Anyway, here's the 10 lasers + ECM pods. You lose the quirks, I guess, but the only thing you were missing from THAT set was a whopping 5% Medium laser heat.
Might be worth running as a funny looking IS Nova with better hitboxes.

They're aware of the issue with the C configuration's ammo bins. They're gonna fix that next patch; for now, you're gonna have to fix it manually, assuming you're gonna run the stock loadout in the first place. (Most people don't, even when the stock loadout is correct.)

Unfortunately while some variants have nice perks hard point placement & armor on arms means you are 1 or 2 strikes away from loosing half or more of your weapons anytime any mech heavier than light looks your way.
As is Gauntlet feels like light mech pretending to be medium and failing, badly.

The B configuration, on paper at least, is the best fighter of the lot. Kind of a poor man's Nova Prime, that one. Still, all of these things are potentially vulnerable to speedsters like Shadow Cats or Fire Moths, so even the best possible configurations, set-of-eight or otherwise, are going to want backup more often than not.

Thats not much of bonus considring all mech operate better in group and even in group you must hope that enemy wont focus you othervise your armor evaporates disturbingly quikly.

I actually feel like hunting lights is a misuse of the Gauntlet as a platform,
Didnt mean it as light hunter but hovering at edges and flankers going after you since you are outside zone of saftey.

That Left torso that nobody uses anyway has so much space, but no hardpoints, so your ECM ST can't also fit a big energy weapon other than a Snub.
Still feels like it's better than a Nova for taking fire and general survivability, but that is a low, low bar to clear.
Likewise it feels like it has a better weight balance than a Lanner, just under Stormcrow engine with MASC to compensate, but again, the slots just make it trip over itself.

10C - default armament is wrong
LAC5 is equipped but AC5 ammo is loaded
10 - I have spare armor and the tonnage is 54.9.
10 - Supercharger + MASC IS BROKEN
It was stated that the top speed would be increased if it was a supercharger + MASC. (EX : https://mwo.nav-alph...mechlab/cplt-fb)
SO Cplt-fb has top speed 20% QUIRK
Both MASC and supercharger are taking up tonnage
BUT Gauntlet 10 Supercharger + MASC IS BROKEN
If it's SO8, there's a top speed 10 QUIRK
but losing so8 also losing top seepd QUIRK
but still with the supercharger + MASC it just takes up useless tonnage.
plz fix this broken mech
