Joseph Rogers
>putting link for VoIP server where no one even plays or talks about MWO Literally why.
Brody Mitchell
why not both?
>needing only the latest of grab deals
Joseph Thompson
Why is Harabec so salty lately guys? What did I do wrong? We were doing so well.
Luis Johnson
I just got my starter c bills and i want to be sure to get a decent mech as my first mech
Owen Anderson
You know in your heart what you must do.
Jaxson Cook
Alright thanks

Ebon or Warhawk? I have a timber already but no clan assault. Just finished the event.
Gavin Fisher
Ebon, warhawk is mediocre.
Ryder Carter
It is a Thor/Summoner
Blake Turner
>not knowing Vass, you got rid of this guy, right? I don't want him around Maskirovka.
Jordan King
You can take battletech out of the 80s, but not the 80s out of battletech.
Daniel Bell
but does the ebon perform different from tim?
Owen Cooper
Ebin is more squishy and there is more variety with the Mad Cat omnipods
Landon Murphy
For mumble.
Levi Perry
Did Haruko finally get permabanned?
Austin Stewart
Then why would I want an ebon when I already have my twolf? The Warhawk can't be THAT bad can it?
Joseph Baker
Clan assaults are trash compared to IS Less speed and less tanky
Liam Hughes
>The Warhawk can't be THAT bad can it?
All proper hardpoints are in the arms.
One variant has a single energy hardpoint in the center torso, another a single missile hardpoint in the center torso. Not changeable with omnipods.
Only one variants right side torso has 2 missile slots.
Left side torso is by default completely filled with locked double heatsinks, which means you'll have more than enough or more than you need.
85 tonner that runs 69.7kph with speed tweak. As large as the dire wolf, a 100 tonner. Similar profile, easily defined arms and side torso areas.
Clan ERPPCs have ridiculously high heat cost for the already lowered clan heat capacity, as well as incurring ghost heat if you shoot them too chained together, limiting your rate of fire with the 4x ERPPC build.
All viable builds are essentially the same builds you can run on a timber wolf or an ebon jaguar, but with better hardpoint locations and weapon convergence.
The only properly viable brawling build for the Warhawk, the UAC80 (2x UAC20's) is not only a luck of the draw deal, but limited by ammunition and easily neutered by blowing off the poorly quirked side torsos. Not to mention weapon convergence and lack of lower arm actuators make shooting small, up-close targets difficult.

When does laser suck his dick?
Wyatt Scott
Warcuck is also very easily mistaken for a daishi, which means it draws an undue amount of fire for such a shitty robot.
Daniel Adams
Okay so Ebon is going to essentially be a weaker timmy but is insanely preferred over the Warhawk....
I have a ton of IS heavies, but should I just say fuck it to the clan shit then? Is the tbolt a better option?
>king crab option is total shit
Brody Kelly
>2UAC20 >only proper brawl build
Nah, 2UAC10 3SRM6 blows 2UAC20 out of the water.
Also it brings more firepower than the TBR and EBJ unquestionably, it just has shit hitboxes more than anything. 1Goose/2LPL/3ML. It's a meta TBR/EBJ laser vomit build combined with a gauss. It can dish out some damage.
If you don't own any clan assaults and are deciding between the EBJ or WHK, get the WHK. It's the best variant of the WHK, and it comes with the proper build it should use.. If you don't like it it can sell for more than the EBJ either way.
Jason Hernandez
Could be worse.
It could be Spurdo, Small lasercutioner or Shitlander IIC.

How viable is the LBX10 on mechs without LBX quirks?
Christian Brown
Only a few specific mechs with specific builds warrant carrying one. It's essentially a low crit low heat ballistic solution and can easily run on just two tons of ammo.
Charles Brooks
The ebin isn't necessarily weaker than the angry nyan. It's just different.
Blunderbolt is largely phased out in the age of kwirks. The 9S is okay, but the others aren't all that hot anymore.
The only clan robutts that are pure trash are the assaults. They have some of the best heavies, and the best medium by far.
Realtalk: is Vass a good leader, or should we have him replaced?
What parts of his leadership do you disagree or agree with?
Carter Ortiz
Depends heavily on the quirks. If a mech has lots of generic ballistic quirks, such as cooldown, it can be worthwhile trying the LBX10 if what you're really doing is brawling with the mech. A regular AC10 feels like a better compliment to large laser spam.
Medium mechs that want an AC10 but can't be arsed with the tonnage requirement for the real deal can get the LBX10 and use the spare tonnage elsewhere.
As for the clans, unless you run the derp whale meme build with lots of LBX's, it's not worth it. For better damage output you just put on a UAC10. More of less the same or better spread on the UAC10, too.
Adrian James
there is no leadership, kong has no hierarchy and never will
Tyler Lewis
Lord Vass is in charge of Kong, those that don't agree can go to discord where the shitters are.
Caleb Ortiz
LBX is pretty much exclusive to brawlers with tonnage problems.
Ryan Collins
Is the Atlas one of those?
David Cox
no
Dylan Long
no
Zachary Morris
>100 tons >tonnage problems user...
Ian Edwards
So Ebon is pretty much the only real option from event mech choices?
Brandon Gomez
no the Enforcer is one of the best mediums available, that's no meme either
Thomas Myers

Justin Jones
I meant of the invasion rewards
Carson Diaz
oh they're all shit just pick the most expensive one and sell it
Ryan Peterson
>down to one arm and cherry red CT in a medium >98% atlas too pussy to push I hate my team
Xavier Jackson
ten assaults vs one
PGI math
Nathaniel Torres
>Preordering robutts 4 months ahead of time I know they've been doing this for a while but seriously this is scummy.
Thought about picking up the Night Gyr pack but that's a long wait.

they're just gonna bail before next year

it was an honour tho

Summoners were once the greatest of mechs..
Benjamin Taylor
No they weren't, they've never been good. What the fuck have you been smoking?
Thomas Brooks
Panthers are horrible! Please God save me!
Brody Ross
I don't think Haruko will save you if you can't even handle Panthers. What a pathetically bad pilot, I'm not sure if it's even possible for you to redeem yourself at this point.
Ayden Collins
Do you play TT or what? Also my Summoner.
Christopher White
fell for the meme did ya next time don't let tier 3 shitters tell you what to pilot
Anthony Young
They're SHIT. SHIT I say. SHIT. I just finished grinding the Wolfhounds I've had sitting in my inventory, so I was like "Hmm, these are basically the same thing, right? Derpity hur dur..." And I was fucking WRONG because they're SHIT. They're SLOW. They're SQUISHY. They have SHITTY hardpoints, and I keep losing my fucking laser arm, and have to rely on a shitty SRM 4. Fuck everything.
Aiden Cruz
gee why do you think people have been calling out the panther for being shit every time it's mentioned?
Carson Reed
>have seen THREE different kintaro pilots today have I crossed into the shadow realm or something?
Gabriel Myers
>not using PPC's >playing it like a shitty memehound >not having max engine >taking fire >ever >being such a massive shitter you unironically lose your arm when I can literally count on one hand the amount of times I've lost my cannon arm on my Panther in my year of playing it See Not my fault you're a fucking shitter retard. If you aren't constantly mashing spacebar + m1 don't even fucking talk to me. I bet you're using the 8Z like a faggot too. Eugh, just threw up a little in my mouth desu senpai.
Anthony Peterson
>calling the double awoo a shitmech >in comparison to the fucking panther low even for someone with such shit taste as yourself
Jayden Gomez
I'm using a 9R with 4 med pulse, an SRM4, and whatever the fuck I could cram into it. Shitsux 'cause I guess I'm doin' wrong. Only have one Panther with dual ERPPC on it. I'll just go back to being a shitter in my Dogs and leave the Panther to the true crazy cat lady.
Jacob Mitchell
>calling the Wolfhound shitty Don't do this to me.
Ryder White
>shitty memehound step away from the keyboard mam
Isaiah Kelly
I didn't say it was shit, I said user was a retard for trying to run laser spam on a Panther and expecting it to perform the same.
It's like trying to be an SRM brawler in a Raven and expecting the same results as a Jenner when they're two completely different mechs with different quirks and roles. Well with that build it's no wonder you are getting fucked.
Carson Nelson
>SRM brawling in a Jenner You're talking about the Oxide, right?
Samuel Evans
>Exploding goose under the cockpit >Pilot flies right off his mech like dr robotnik.

Lucky they're arnt many Sanic Mechs.
Brandon Mitchell
How does a scrublord have a 20 member unit?
Dominic Davis
Piggy has until 2018, then the license will expire, or they could attempt the mythical renewal, which we know requires that they conform to X, Y, and Z of Microsoft demands, and if there are any tests or cooperation involved, they'll fail that shit instantly. A passing grade in all ways means they get to camp the license until 2020.
Michael Wood
I mostly play FPs and pick up most of my units from there.
Cameron Wright
Which Storm Crow should I get?
Matthew Murphy
>I HATE THAT WOLFHOUND!
Chase Wright
Since they have no quirks or CT hardpoints- buy whichever one you like the sound of more. A Stormcrow A can be fitted out to be the exact same as a Stormcrow Prime, and a Stormcrow B can be the same as a Stormcrow C. It's literally just name pref- I prefer the ring of Stormcrow PRIME.
Brody Howard
>trying to run brawl build on a mech built for long range m8 that's like trying to make french toast in a Wok instead of a skillet. If you want to do light mech brawling go for IS/IIC Jenners or Cheetos or if you want extra spicy memes, Spiders and Commandos. Leave the meme mechs to the meme lords who like to specialize in dank memes
Benjamin Rogers
>that cbill count
Post wallets.
Also this fucking captcha.
Josiah Flores
>325.5 million C-Bills Have you not bought a single thing since launch or something?
Thomas Moore
Sadly this guy is right about the Warhawk. I really like mine and have found some builds that are 'fun' but all in all you are better off in another mech that can do the same job better.
^ thing about this one is that I don't play it long range, I'm running around with the pack and engaging at like 400-500 meters with the lrms and other stuff because I'm a friggin assault mech.
