I personally miss that mech. IMO the Yen Lo is inferior to it's alternative missile variant they removed. I used to run an AC20 w/ 2x SSRM (or was it 3, can't remember)... but it was super effective. Just wondering if anyone else is w/ me on this one.

I would love to see a mech like that... but highly doubt it will come back, since it would stop people from buying the Wang if they want an AC20 on a Cent.

Gotta think in business models!

Doubt it.

They should just have made the YLW the first Centurion to be able to mount an AC/20. To give us the AH variant and then take it back when they thought it might make the YLW less unique... that's pretty shameless.

I had a good friend who really enjoyed that build, its a shame they removed it so poorly from the game.

They stated it multiple times (even in Ask The Devs) that the old Centurion-H was a test and preparation for the first heromech, the YLW.
AC20 and SRM sound strong, but you realy are much more ammo dependent without the lasers.
The next mech able to use missiles and AC20 would be the CTF-2X, but the AC20 would be in the RT. Same goes for the Orion and Atlas.
But you could wait for the Highlander. There is a variant with AC20 in the arm and they all use missiles and lasers also.
