my personal favorite mech is the uziel.
here are the stats:

The Uziel is a medium BattleMech.
Armor: 8 tons
Heat sinks: 4
Speed: 95kph
Components:
Beagle Active Probe
Jump jets
LAMS
Armament:
2x Machine gun array
2x PPC
1x SRM6
1x Flamer
Cost: 7,970,3586 C-bills
i usually drop the flamer and up ither the missles, the PPCs or the engines (although the mech tends to get skidish if its max speed gets too high)
any and all relevent opinions welcome.

for got the "why." It is a good mix of speed and firepower even if it tends to go a little light on the armor. Faster than the big ones and more firpower than the small ones.

"inner sphere mech and why it shouldn't be included in the game"




Well, it's the same as with why you don't put tanks into a medieval game, really.

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

It sounds like Mechwarrior 4, cause that armament has never existed and with 7,970,3586 C-bills, you'll not get a Uziel.
Trust me!

[Sheilei]

Umm...did you check out the story behind the Uziel on Battletech wiki? It says that it is a captured clan omnimech that was later produced in an Inner Sphere factory.
Technicly it's actually a clan mech if you look at it from that angle.
But i do agree that it is an excellent mech indeed. Battletech wiki says it would cost 9,785,700 C-bills brand new.

I prefer ol' rusty asymmetrical clunkers when it comes to just the looks. If it looks like a local bunch of clan sibko's have been using it for daily target practice for 50 years straight that's a good thing.

Which IS mech is my favorite? I have no idea...i'll just make do with whatever junkpile i can get my hands on...well for the most part anyway.

It does exist. It's the UZL-2S variant, 6 jump jets, endo steel, XL engine (6/9 speed), 8 tons of standard armour (not enough crit space to mount ferro fibrous), double engine heat sinks (no additional tonnage in them), 2 normal PPCs, 2 normal MGs (not arrays) with half ton of ammo between the two, SRM 6 with 1 ton of ammo and a BAP. Costs about 10 million C-Bills though. Also no flamer or AMS of any kind.

It's a 'mech from the future as you guys pointed out, of course. Distant future at that assuming we will remain at 1 year in RL equals to 1 year in game universe timeline.

[Zakatak]

Bushwacker.

• First mech on MW3.
  
• First mech on MW4.
  
• Looks sexy at all angles
  
• You can put teeth on it like a P-40 Warhawk.
  
• Only 3 years away from now.
  
• Can snipe or brawl.
  
• Tough and fast.
  
• Looks like an attack helicopter bolted onto a Vulture.

Please please please please please please?

[Ryuu Tetsuhara]

I would like to see all Inner Sphere mechs including the Unseen mech models (nothing more, nothing less) to be implemented in MWO step by step before clan omnimechs are introduced to MWO ... demanding maybe, but certainly not impossible ...

... which one should be next (?), how about the Phoenix Hawk ... possibly, the most versatile mech of them all ...

[Monky]

Battlemaster.

Wide range of weapons slots, fast, heavy armor, capable and popular command mech. It should be put in to prove that the art style can be different and still look awesome, so we can finally move past the days of lawsuit happy rights holders.

[Helmer]

Kintaro

Drop the LRM5 for more armor or Heat Sinks.

2 Med Laser, 3 SRM6s, good speed and maxed out armor. Sounds like a good skirmisher to me. And if SRMs are dumbfire like it appears they are in the videos, I'm going to need to brush up on my aiming skills.

Because...well, just because.

Good old KTO, I like the 19 but prefer the 20 (which trades the NARC for a large laser and DHS). I hope to see it and the other Star League designs in an expansion later down the road.

my only experience with the highlander is mech com 2 so i dont know how the weapons configuration will work out (no hardpoints in mech com 2 just space restraints) but just the idea of a 90 tone jumper is awsome.

Having a heavy mech type that is universally applicable in mind, I would like to see the Crusader introduced next.

It offers plenty of variants and since jump jets for heavy or assault mechs may not be very useful in MWO, I reckon it to be more useful than the Catapult, not focussing almost completely on fire support. Moreover, it is not only a very powerful but also a very cool looking mech based on its original (Unseen) design!

You could build one in the mech lab based on the Raven RVN-4X variant chassis.

[Iolobliss]

Hello there,

I hereby nominate the Ostsol, not because of its looks but because of its energy weapon configuration which is not to be underestimated, making this model ideal for long missions/campaigns due to its independance of ammo supplies. Moreover, it is fairly quick for its weight class, carries a more than suffcient amount of armour for a 60 ton mech, and boasts numerous variants.

[PANZERBUNNY]

Jagermech with lasers and rockets! POW!

With the reboot style of this game, its heavy class and it's low stout frame....I think it could shine online where it is sort of lackluster on the board.

[Gabriel Bekker]

Pillager. 100 ton jump capable battlemech with twin gauss rifles?

And it looks absolutely terrifying. Can you imagine a classic Pillager redesigned to the same level of quality and detail as all these other mechs?

[Stormeris]

Scorpion
55ton medium
QUADRUPED
SRM-6 packs a nice punch upclose
PPC is great for long range engagements
Ability to strafe, lower its hull, fast turning speed
Ability to be mobile even with 2 legs gone
Low profile (like bushwackers) make it harder to hit

Woop woop woop
and most importantly: AVAILABLE IN THIS TIME PERIOD
