Giving mechs further character probably helps ease further away from gunbagging and provide a reason to not just field 4x Hunchbacks. Hardpoints help, but now it is a situation where you find an ideal speed and hardpoint distribution and you're done. Warhammer WHM-X040 Mass: 70 tons Tech Base: Inner Sphere Chassis Config: Biped Rules Level: Tournament Legal Era: Clan Invasion Tech Rating/Era Availability: E/X-X-E Production Year: 3040 Cost: 7,079,933 C-Bills Battle Value: 1,748 Chassis: Unknown Endo-Steel Power Plant: Unknown 280 Fusion Engine Walking Speed: 43.2 km/h Maximum Speed: 64. That being said, the stars of the show are mechs, but the TT construction rules (while good for their time and place) are far too simple and result in gunbags.

Maybe scaling it up would be better, but maybe it would be worse, if it raises mission times or makes defeating mechs trivial (training AI to make intelligent use of cover without gimmicks is difficult and it is already far too easy to lure them into position for all four of your short-ranged brawlers to blast away) or otherwise breaks something fundamental. There are certainly enhancements and quality of life improvements that can be made but overall it is right where it needs to be. Sure HBS saves money by reusing MWO art, but I feel they should have more mechs original to them.įor what it's worth, I think that the game's core gameplay loop is rock-solid. Sure, the Marauder II has its art problems, which are mostly solved by now, but again, HBS could present the players with a other mech exclusive to the HBS game.

Plus I'm tired of seeing the Annihilator as the premier Wolf's Dragoon assault when we have the Imp and Marauder II. Davion was producing the lower tech Devastators in that time frame and why not test it in the Periphery first?

There are no other 100 tonners circa 3030 that would be considered standard availability for the IS outside of the Atlas from TRO 3025 and the retcon King Crab. The Atlas II custom shouldn't exist either, but it's there.įor a long time, the Atlas was the only 100 tonner, and we as gamers only got other 100 tonners as retcons or as part of the Wolf's Dragoons. Games play fast and loose with canon, and frankly I don't see problem with HBS throwing in another SL era unit.

Fluff says 6 were made in time for the invasion of Terra. PXH-1 Phoenix Hawk (45 tons) RFL-3N Rifleman (60 tons, and now I'm excitedthe Rifleman was my first main mech when I got into Battletech) ARC-2R Archer (70 tons) ANH-1A Annihilator (100 tons) Not stolen from PC gamer, IE fresher info I've heard elsewhere: Bull Shark, 95 tons. The further it moves, the harder it hits, which could give fast-moving light mechs a real leg up when things get hairy.That is the date for production in the inner Sphere. In addition to bringing over more Mech types that MWO had probably using their models, they also announced: 1 - In addition to 7 Mech types, they state a new 95 ton Assault Mech the Bull. The new weapons include a Mortar, the first area-of-effect weapon in the game, and the COIL Beam, with an energy output that increases based on the distance traveled by the attacking mech before firing. The announcement has been done about the content for Harebrained Schemes' third Battletech DLC and it is impressive so far. The eighth and final mech is unknown for now, but it's a brand-new design created exclusively for Battletech and it promises to be a beast: The trailer indicates that it's a 90-ton unit, putting it squarely in the middle of the massive Assault class. RFL-3N Rifleman (60 tons, and now I'm excited-the Rifleman was my first main mech when I got into Battletech).Given that, I think it's safe to say that these are the new units we can look forward to: The new fighting machines aren't listed in the announcement, but a list of eight mechs appears on a readout in the trailer and that's probably not a coincidence.
