Or very fragile

and if you're lucky, it'll be both.

Yay! Another jump capable medium!

[Sparkymarkyp]

hmmmmm too similar to the Jagermech (albeit Blackjack has JJ)

This game needs more heavies imo.

Ohh **** Yeah. It's a Davion mech, but even I want it!

If that bothers you, you can always pretend its the Omnimech version made on Luthien.

Fourty-five tons with 2 AC 2's and 4 ML's? Jump Jets with trooper-'mech speed (64.8 kph) and 8.5 tons of armor? (by comparison, the Hunchback carries ten tons of armor, and a maxed out Jenner carries roughly seven tons)

Not bad. Might make a nice chassis to grind in- light enough that repair bills are low, small enough guns that ammo costs are relatively cheap. It must run hot as hell, though. Nice to see on the horizon, probably around summer next year at this point, yeah?

Yay! My favorite mech has come to play! The devv's need to drop everything and implement this NAO, please.

On a more sober note, my math would say we would be time-period eligible for the BJ-3 (dual PPC's). Am I correct on that?

[Cataphract]

Sweet. Two jump capable medium mechs down the road. The Trenchy will have a jump variant and most the Blackjack variants will be jump capable as well. I'll definitely look forward to the srm variant of the Blackjack.

Its a poor mans Jager?

[Paladin Brewer]

Good choice, rawr!

[StonedVet]

hopefully the AC jamming will be fixed by the time this is released.

offspring of a jagermech and a rifleman

[Schrottfrosch]

So how many LRM-launchers can you fit on that?

[Wooj]

Awwww... The MWO version looks like a baby Rifleman.

Who's a cute widdle baby? Yes you are... Yes you are....

[PropagandaWar]

Alex. I love all of your designs and This one is just as incredible with one exception "The cockpit". While it looks good it just doesn't scream Black Jack to me.

The Black Jack was one of my favourite 'Mechs during the MPBT:3025 days.

Backpedal and DAKKADAKKADAKKA you could take out almost any 'Mech. Until you ran out of ammo.

Mine too (Yes, I'm that Taram from WD)

[Kobold]

Good to hear! I didn't think we had enough slow ballistic mediums yet.

[Felicitatem Parco]

Alex just changed the weapon hardpoint configurations? Just like that?!

PHOTOSHOP IS OP!!!11!1

[SL the Pyro]

Innnteresting. This makes the Blackjack be the second 'Mech in the game that has Ballistic hardpoints on both arms (first was the JagerMech), but the first to have both Ballistic and Energy hardpoints in those arms. Without needing to put huge space-wasting armaments in the Left and Right Torsos, I'm already envisioning a XL Engine build that's fast, hard-hitting and accurate.

Can we go back to the new battlemech every Wednesday announcement schedule?
