stop releasing mechs while you have game breaking balance. you're killing the game with every patch

The mech team is composed of different people, and unlike the highlander the blackjack doesn't really do anything to make balance worse. It won't be viable in the first place in assault-PPC-AWPmap_online.

If only there were bigger fonts for emphasis. 6 billion point ought to cover it.

... THIS IS SO WRONG! This is Omni mech version, the battlemech NEVER had UAC5s as default weapons! This mech breaks the time line. The omni Blackjack wasn't available until 3057, that's post Tukkayyid!

if they were going to start announcing "future" mech they should have started with Clan invasion mechs

I'm calling out who ever decided to include this mech at this phase!

What the deuce are you talking about?

Looks like my Wang will get 4 different BJ's to keep it entertained this month. A cheap one, a powerful one, a fast but delicate one and one that will probably get too hot. Now that I think about it, this might be a good month to go Commando.

Looking forward to getting slaughtered because of poor initial hitbox setup on every new mech that gets released. Good times ahead!

So... the Blackjack... doesn't actually get to go faster than the 50 ton mechs... actually it goes as fast... or slower than the 50 tonners... Perhaps this can get looked into later on? Sooner would be cool, but later is our minimum hope?....

BlacJack = complete heap of crap, kinda like a ford, any ford.

BJ...... hmmmm, BJ.....hmmmm.... have no words here, its worthless piece of crap!
Spend 37 milions on all 4 of them... all crap. Totally unproportional. Arms are to wide, looking from inside seems to big, impossible to make a good Mech from it. Tried several builds, seen couple of builds....chance is one in trilion to make Damage higher than 200. Had few of 500 but that doesn't count!

Seems like im gonna cry for my Cbills back! Damn you PGI, I was right, company have one programmer, one secretary and one director who doesn't give a sh** for community.

Damn damn damn....as Cristopher Lloyd would say in Back to the Future

what are you complaining about?
The BJ is a very fine mech...got a 20+ kd with my bj-1x(he has nearly the same power as the swayback, but moves faster and isn't so easy to strip...), the other variants are fine too. 500 - 1000 dmg are standard damage values. Just L2P @ Brkojle

BJ-1X
BJ-1

yeah l2p may be an idiotic comment, but your previous post(flaming the bj) shows me that you don't have much experience... Seek for cover, recognize the way for flanking and avoid enemy strike, twist your torso to spread the damage and and and...

[Melcyna]

8 medium laser... and still over 1.41 heat efficiency with lightning speed.... monstrous....

and with better elevation/depression angle than swayback as well....

doesn't this kinda kill the point of swayback?

yeah, this build is amazing^^
I prefer the 1x over the swayback for ovious reasons: faster, most of the weapons are located on the arms, not easy to full strip like the hunchi(RT), you can play the 1x like a big Jenner-F, with nearly the same alpha strike dmg as the swayback

[AngryCustard]

hmmm

[Furieth]

Yes, the Blackjack isn't as bad as some people are making them out to be. It is not a one-hit-button though, for sure. It requires a little more patience, tactical movement and positioning - it is not a damage soaker per se.
I am running a BJ-1 still with the AC/2 and medium lasers - rather successful too.
And of course I found the laser build for the 1x lol

[Captain Davis McCall]

BJ-3 Builds:

3xppc Blackjack
if you want to challenge all those poptart highlanders out there^^

2xll_4xmed
if you like the 1x build, you'll stick to this. It's slower, but has a nice punch with the 2 large lasers and an alpha deals 39 dmg

I actually run my 1X with a 275XL (don't have a 280 yet), 6ML, and loads of double heatsinks (std internals). Very nice DPS, and cools down really quickly.

Plus, all six lasers in the arms means I have no convergence issues.
