As I already said in another post, that Huntsman H better be lore base. In short, every thing should be where its placed: ECM left leg and Active Probe in the right leg, left arm with 3 energy and right arm with 4 energy.

hoping for apgauss spam.

No.

The game does not need any more ap or mag spam, it's terrible game play, lazy design, and no where near canon.

All AP and Mag should be limited to fire 5 simultaneously at most, their range halved, and zero specific buffs to them for the next year.

The Adder, flea, and other AP & Mag boaters are incredibly bad for game play and the laziest and most self-serving design choice to roll out of the Cauldron's self-dealing corruption show the last two years.

Just curious, should the Prime Award be Heavy/Assault Loyalty Mechs instead?

(Noted that buying vanilla MC would award you with Light/Medium Loyalty Mechs).

On the other hand, you can get two Warthog ADR-W(L) mechs this way! XD

2025: I can get another 2x ADR-W(L) mechs as per Sept 18th info.
==>That's 4x ADR-W(L) mechs!

(Now, if only I can get a full roster of 4x UM-IIC-M(TSP), all four of them! )

Don't count on it. Last year's nova cat had it's ECM removed by the Cauldron and Tiyos, Tiyos' explanation being they worried about giving ECM to a mech with 8 ballistic Hardpoints... which was hilarious because this happened while they were launching an ECM with 10 ballistic hardpoints at the same time, the Bane.

My point being lore, wisdom, balance, none of that matters to PGI's guys or the Cauldron goons who only want to warp the game to their game-play style without any interference, they will rip stuff out and ignore core aspect of a mech to suit their bias or to make sure it doesn't compete with a new mech launch.

Aren't you the same guy who wanted to nerf MGs?

Nah screw that, go all in on the theoretical Magshot Munin. You can barely fit em in as is with IS XL, Endo, and Ferro.

That's what I'm afraid of.

So battlemaster with 4 ballistic in torso, 75t stalker, ecm for huntsman and surprise raven.

Honestly, not a bad lineup for this year. Can think of plenty of builds for a BLR with shoulder mounted ballistics, a 75 tone stalker should slot in nicely with the Marauder and Orion if they don't screw up the survivabilty, more hard points for the Huntsman, I only worry about the Raven MN (Muninn name makes sense) because I struggle with the Huginn.

if were being honest, apgauss spam isnt really that much damage. viper is too fragile, adder too slow, piranhas dont have enough ammo. so its not really as strong as it looks on paper.

[crazytimes]

I heard rumours that the next legendary will be a rescaled Black Knight? Please confirm.

[Steel Raven]

I'm more angry that is almost the only brawl friendly mechs we get anymore. SNPPCs are fun, MPL are fun, SRMs are fun, why do we keep getting 8-10 MG mechs? Noble is a fun idea (could use some buffs) the Scale Shot is still fun, more would be appreciated vs 8 mg Urbie and 10 mg Summoner. I like the Crael but this seems to be the default design now post Juggernaut.

[BlueDevilspawn]

This was publicly discussed elsewhere in Discord servers, so I'm relaying it here.

1. Yes, the Huntsman has ECM in the leg as per lore. No this does not mean we're about to get leg weapons. ECM has always been possible. Weapons haven't and won't be.

2. The Raven is based off of the -SS variant (look in Sarna for what it is) that was renamed to the Munin/MN for reasons that should be obvious. Deal with it.

[Steel Raven]

I actually like the naming convention.

So you are telling me I get a Raven with ECM and 6 Laser slots? Hyper Hyper Christmas is earlie this year

[Ttly]

So what, the Battlemaster is an 85t Sleipnir with higher weapon mounts? Unless it has decent missile/energy quirks, the extra hardpoints are pretty much deadweight/ignored I'd imagine, would've been interesting if they were made more viable so that 3AC5+1LAC2 and whatever missile+energy build on it would be decent instead of just being Sleipnir but higher mount and more agility.

The 75t Stalker being decent depends on how much quirk it gets for losing the tonnage (and a missile hardpoint) I guess. I'd imagine it gets at least some heat quirk.

And the PPC+LRM TBR I doubt will actually be used that way over the usual ECM mixpod builds too, also would need as much So8 quirks as the TBR-Prime (which also can already run its loadout albeit with slightly different[worse] weapon placement) to at least be decent.

The ECM Huntsman is eh, kind of whatever that will just be run with 2HLL+a bunch of ERMLs or whatever like PPC poptart. Nothing really new.

Weird way to spell out, "I'm okay with older stuff like Wolfhound-Grinner (that is already rarely ever seen) getting powercreeped!"

Yes. So everything is where it's suppose to be?

It's still a Raven with Raven hit boxes and armor. It's not a Grinner but it is a better Raven.

LOL. They didn't change "Grand Dragon." Glad they figured this out.

I read Battlemaster. I am happy.
