New mechs to HATE (a la Gladbag, Blood Asp):

Canis - Clan Assault that won't die (unless I'm piloting it).
Gargoyle - Clan Assault that won't die (unless I'm piloting it).



Hey, Bullseye, what do you think about the new stuff?

TD

[Tach Deneva]

Some of the weapons wont make the cut, and will be banned from NBT thats for sure.

Seems certain the coolant pods won't be used. Heh. I haven't even tried them - all my configs are 'in the green' anyway.

MT can make mechs thats for sure, weapons and balance is definately something they lack.

Grim Reaper, woot!

I still haven't tried all the new weapons, but I like the LBX5 quite a bit, and the lowered weight of the IS LRMs seems like a good thing. Dunno about the Assault Laser - never seems to do much, at least when I use it. The Plasma Cannon seems okay. Minigauss, dunno. Clan Linked PPC, dunno, doesn't seem to do much for me; PPCs never have worked very well for me.

Which weapons do ya think are wacked?

TD

[Tach Deneva]

Heavy Rocket Launcher....not as bad as they were in Beta but jesus have you tried an Owens with 2 of them.....rips mechs to shred no questions asked.

Ran into one of those last night. First game, it wiped me out (and proceeded to do the same to several other guys). Next game, I legged the lil blankety blank as soon as I saw it (I was using a Nova with 5 LBX5s, btw) - but, of course, before I could get off the finishing shot, someone in a Clan Assault clobbered me.

The moral of the story: Ah hates them danged ol' Gladbags, BAs, Canises (Canii?), and Gargoyles...
