How well does that end up working out?

Solaris showed that Plasmas and APG were great, but I can't tell if that's because of the APG spam with the Plasma offsetting/complementing it.

CSRMs feel like they'd just be worse at that job unless they're very tightly clustered.

I think it works out. The hardpionts are high and clustered together. The APG build may be good but the arm hardpoints are lower to we'll have to see.

Hey if the hardpoints don't blow I might actually buy this and play again.

I like how is uses the same 270 STD as the stock SNV and the chest is similar to the nose of the SNV, same parts same aesthetic.

Yeah, the Phoenix Hawk IIC is. Not the Shadow Hawk IIC. Shadow Hawk IIC is 45.

We aren't getting the Phoenix Hawk IIC, at least not yet. This is about the Shadow Hawk IIC.

Now can we have the Griffin IIc next. Then the Locust IIc after that. Thank you.

No, go IS next, the Flashman!

Basically, it's what the Black Knight dreams it could be.

PGI is focused on the development of MechWarrior 5: Clans, while MechWarrior Online has just a caretaker crew.

Thus, it is very likely that future all-new 'Mechs will be designed for MechWarrior 5: Clans first and they will be Clan 'Mechs. Then they will be ported to MechWarrior Online.

Why? The canon Flashman has low hardpoints, arms that cannot be used for shielding, etc.

PGI also still tinkerin' 'bout MW5 Mercs aswell. Some DLCs may feature the Flashman or even the Hussar. Any era-specific mechs could be used what PGI care to include it's products. The more the merrier - and there are still mechs we had in earlier games but PGI games still miss! Hint: Avatar!

Of course porting these into MWO may not justify their usefulnes. Flashman sounds great on paper but without some aimed quirks there are better lasboats with better hardpoints with better geometry with better whatever <= the usual replies given on the forums to the "it's a game I want fun"-kinda topics...

Shadyhawk IIc... ATM skirmisher? Seems a good base for that.

Before or after he met with King Arthur? Just askin'...

The Mercs DLC was already in development and shelved during the development of the base Clans game to focus resources and messaging/hype. So, it's not like it was completely net new. I could see it as the last Mercs open universe DLC or maybe one more that syncs with Bulldog in MW5 Clans with another DLC.

I would still expect more Clans DLCs given that's the flagship, but we'll see.
