Greetings

So... wil there ever be more than 4 mechs per class ?

One mech in particular i always liked was the MadCat. now its been a whole lot of years since i played any other MW game but IIRC it was a 75 tonn heavy class mech. Long range capability simular to the Catapult, but with 2 arms capable of mounting lasers along with the usual torso mounts like the cata. Anyway i would very much like ot see that put in.

of the top of my head i cant recal names of any othe mechs i i beleve there was a medium class mech designed to hold a guass rifle on its shoulder ..it actually looked like a rifle sticking out ..not the hunchback.

I also beleve there was a mech desgined for the 'long tom artillary' weapon ..though i cant recall any details. The weapon itself would be awesome if it was put into the game ..obviosly it would be very heavy and very big ..likely only 1 fiting onto the heaviest heavy class or assualt class mechs ..but with massive range and brutal firepower.

Ah i just remembered 2 other mechs that i would love to see again. The cougar, and theZeus. Cant emember their tonnages ..but the couger i beleve was a light to medium class and the zeus was a heavy.i also think the zeus was a laser boat.

Anyway ..main quest was "will there be more mechs than those shown on the website?, 4 each seems limited imo"

Yes they will be adding tons of mechs.

To expand on this, they have a list of mechs that are already announced just not implemented as well as adding in clan mechs when we get to the clan invasion point

Im beginning to wonder how hard it is to search for this sort of thing?

It's a simple question and was answered

To be fair the forums aren't extremely conducive to finding information sometimes especially with 9 million threads on the same subject.

With 11 mechs now in game and 18 announced, I think we can fairly accurately predict the Stalker is coming next.

Forum searches. Powerful stuff.

thanks peeps.

yea i saw the ones announced on the website ..4 on each class + MC only ones..was askign if there were anymore planned. And tbh searching through forums this big is a pita.

Anyway more mechs is always nice

If they keep to schedule this is what you can expect at a rate of roughly 1 mech a month.

Stalker
Trebuchet
JagerMech
Spider
Flea
Highlander

I think all the mechs look too similar and there's not enough variation at the moment. I would love a 6 legged mech with with the following features:

It is a fast assault mech so it can run 64mph - it has 6 legs for this.
To make this fair though I think it shouldn't be able to swivel the torso around, only turn using the legs. To stop Jenners from destroying it easily the torso armour is unified front and back, say 120 armor for the whole thing but it goes down from all angles from this pool not separate - so you don't need to spin around so much. The legs can only have 30 each beacuse obviously it will take ages to kill you from legging otherwise and you'd be overpowered.

You could call it Spider-Supreme and I would want the Spider-Supreme-B4 variant with 4 balistic points closely bunched up for good sniping spike damage - but before you scream OP remember it can't turn so fast so at close range you would be gimped.

That's what I'd want to see. Something that isn't just like a big human shaped robot.

Looking around here, I'd go with "Beyond 99% of posters' capabilities."

To be fair, there wouldn't be so many duplicates if people searched before making the 9 million and first.
