I like the orion more, it also have 4 tons more armor and with the ON2-M it has a Gauss, artemis and pulselasers.
In a shortrange engagement the Orion should last longer.

Depends upon the variants involved, warhammers got better weapons that can punch the armor without the need of ammo. However all things equal on bv I would probably put my money on the orion since it does have generally lower heat curve better armor. Where as the warhammer has a better weapons mix for mech killing usually has a higher heat curve and lighter armor.

Once range ceases to be a factor def orion, the best way the whammy can survive is to use range and those twin ppc's to put some holes and hopefully spark off some ammo.

Now dont get me wrong there are some versions of the warhammer that are damn lethal, but bv balanced fights kinda makes some match ups impossible. And with the balistic heavy orion's bv usually lower it can pack more omph per punch imho

Ding. We have a winner. Especially the latter part of the statement.

Depends on whats going on, if range is not a factor then I would put my money on the WarHammer. If we are talking range (and with base variants) at close range I would bid on the Orion due to the AC-10 and the Hammer not being able to use its PPC's and as such only two mediums, two smalls and a SRM which is close to what the Orion brings, but the Orion has the batter armour. Once those PPC's are able to fire, if they hit good (and when doesn't a PPC hit good?) then its over.
