You ninjaed me on that.

A gauss weights 15 tons. A Flea 20.

I like it! Shares a few points of similarity w/ the MW4 version, so, yep, probably found my first 'mech.

[Frisk]

I see what you did there....

Does it count as a leak if it was in a magazine with millions of subscribers?

Is leaked because that magazine is not released yet.

It's actually 5 lights, 4 heavies, and 3 assaults.

I miss you Orion...

THAT is a sexy mech!! Can't wait...<waiting> <waiting> <waiting>...

I think every one who is saying the flea is useless or will be a push over are going to have a rude awakening.

Their are to notable variants for the mech.

2x med pulse lasers
2x small lasers
1 flamer

The second replaces the pulse lasers for standard mediums then adds two machine guns.

Looking at the sarna web sight and rolling the equipment list in my head I came up with some load outs that will cause a big hassle.

Think of these: 1) 8/12 with MASC (16) has 4 med lasers, TAG, ECM, BAP, and an AMS. 2) 4 med pulse lasers and TAG. 3) large laser, TAG, AMS. 4) ER PPC, MASC, TAG, 2 small lasers. 5) MASC, 2 machine guns, 4 small pulse lasers, TAG.

This is just using TT rules and MW3. Consider this as well, double heat sinks, XL engines, endo steel, and FF armor. Yes this thing in the right hands will be able to do some damage.

I have noticed a complete lack of love for the Heavy class. When are we going to get some more Heavies? Further more when can we expect some Heavy mechs with a focus on Brawling? Some Auto cannon love.

Calm down there's 4 heavies and 5 lights. Wouldn't there be more lights than heavies in real life?

Ah the flea, what a non-threatening mech. This reminds me of an online match with MW4:M. The "leader" of the match thought it would be fun if everyone used a flea, but one was a daishi. We all chose a flea, mine had max armor, speed, lots of HS's and ER med. lasers and med. pulse lasers. When it started, i charged. Why? I knew it had a poor low firing arch. I went in near full speed, i reached it first i think.
There was some chatter from the others, but i was too focused on not being killed. I went in as close to its legs as i could, slowing down so i could aim better, i fired all my weapons one after the other. I made circles around it, firing over and over. My fingers hurting, i didn't stop. I was hit only once in the torso or arm, i don't remember, but i lost none of my weapons. It took the ENTIRE match but i managed to shed nearly all the armor off its legs. I thought i was about to do something epic, BUT...HE EJECTED! He took away my win! A flea destroying a 100 ton mech on its own. I was so close!
Of course i went by another name back then and have no proof of this what-so-ever, but those who took part in that match will remember it. Maybe they have a pic or video of it somewhere. But yeah, this game got WAY more entertaining!

I think one of the reasons for the Flea is the skill trees are about ready made: FLE-4, FLE-15, and FLE-17.

3 variants, including one advanced tech (just like the Raven).

It means the entire 20-35 ton light spectrum is covered.

It will be very cheap, so this will be the first mech for many F2P gamers when the game goes live.

The FLE-15 has a great variety of hardpoints (except missile), which makes it very customisable.

A light mech you can't shove an autocannon or Gaus rifle in the ballistic slots. Machine guns, or if you cram an AC/2 at most.

Put an ER large laser on it, and you're going to get a very nasty energy sniper.

I like it. Incredibly cute.

I was discussing this with my friend who hasn't really played the Mechwarrior franchise much but listens to me. He said this.

'So instead of getting a cool looking shockwave you get an AT-ST huh? I doubt there are any ewoks in the mechwarrior universe so you should be safe."
