Today, the Atlas-AS7 S has been added for anyone who has ever bought a Phoenix, clan mech wave 1 or 2 pack
The Centurion AH has been added for anyone who has ever puchased MC.

Also the shadowhawk AND stormcrow mechs are 45% on cbills AND mc! Grab them now!

I'm kinda uncertain how to equip the Centurion AH.

I already got a Centurion brawler for close and closest combat, and a LRM-boat.

Hardpoint-wise, the Centurion AH would be the most capable LRM-boat, but then I'd want to convert my current Centurion LRM-boat into a brawler. Which, of course, should be better then a brawler variant of the new Centurion AH.

Ahh, difficult.

Actually you can do some fancy stuff with the AH.
A combination, which works surprisingly well is a 98kp/h XL275 CN9-AH with an AC20 and 3xSRM2 Launchers.

The AH as an LRM Boat does work, but you are commit if you run it. Stay with the Pack and avoid a fight at any cost. (on the plus side, the 3 MGs look awesome on that arm!)

The new Atlas is my favourite!
I threw out the SRMs, as they are all but a distraction and pimped the LRM20 and added more Ammo.
It plays well. Soften up any enemy at the start with the ALRM20 and move in, once you are under the 300m range, take them apart with the MLs and AC20.

It's even worth its weight as a LRM boat (ok the LRMs will only staggerfire [10+5 and 3x 6+6+3 which is the equivalent of having 1xLRM10 and  10xLRM5], but it works and enemies cower in the shade of 60LRMS!):

Edith: I have a more feasible version for the LURM-Atlai now: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=216&l=028ddd58ff2a76bf7a8b6ee4ca59d198c452e016

• 4xLRM10, enough Ammo
  
• AMS
• 2xML and 1x AC20! BAM!

I recently aquirred myself my first clan mech= The warhawk.

I despise the direwolf....Like seriously...Fuck you, Direwolf. But the warhawk really caught my attention.

Its a great mech with only one nemesis, the Direwolf. But its a balanced and fair mech to play

WHK-PRIME Ocelot
I had problems with going all energy on this build, and eventually i settled down to this. Wich is my best performing warhawk.

WHK-A Raven
Raven, or WHK-B, is my brawler. 2 LPL, 2 SRM 6's and one powerfull UAC-20. This mech has a K/D of 2.15!

WHK-B Mantis Mantis is my fire support mech, with 3 powerfull LRM 15's supplied with 6 tonnes of ammo. This is backed up by an UAC-10 and 3 ER Medium lasers.

[Dukat]

Started trials.
Subject: CN9-AH






Annotation: forgot to implement Beagle Active Probe and Artemis Guidance.




Conclusion: Mech suffers from the same problem as its derivates. Despite the availability of hardpoints, the mech is rather insufficient to house an LRM-30. The engine is too big and too fast, while a smaller engine requires more heatsinks, which requires to switch back to an ordinary armor structure, eating up all the weight gain. This hampers inclusion of additional Artemis Guidance and/or a Beagle Active Probe. Overall the mech felt short on ammo on all weapon systems.

Despite that, battle performance was ok, achiving a match score of 133.

I despise the direwolf....Like seriously...Fuck you, Direwolf.

Why the hate? It isn't like it would be the basis for the 9xCERPPC "Direstar"...  no wait, it is.

If I ever played MWO, my only goal would be to build one, just because the build rules allow something that retarded.

[DLFReporter]

You can build it, but you won't have any fun. It needs at least two coolant flushes to work without going off like a Tommy Cooker. ^^
Here's a video of one of those Direstars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLCMvD03snQ
With the first shot he goes into a 40+ second thermal shutdown. In that time any decent Medium Mech can take out one or both arms.

you can build it, but you wont be able to fire it...

[Kelmola]

you can build it, but you wont be able to fire it...

Seen enough YT vidyas that you can fire one alpha before shutting down, and it's enough to 1s1k most 'Mechs.

But if they removed this opportunity, there is still no reason to play

You cannot do this anymore ingame. Simular that you cannot install more then 2 gauss rifles. Thy info is out of date

[Dukat]

So I received the CN9-AH, and it turns out that my CN9-AH shares the same online ID with my STK-5S, causing the weapons group configuration to reset for one mech, after I defined it for the other one.

Same old ancient bug that caused me to sell already 2 mechs, with now 4 mechs being affected by the bug again.

[DLFReporter]

He? ^^
You should go play in the lottery. I have like 70+ Mechs and haven't noticed that bug before. Ok, I have no Stalkers, but still...

Did you send a support ticket?

[Dukat]

No, I waited one day to settle my anger, then I posted on the forums in one of the various threads dealing the subject. The thread I took was started in April.

Besides I never draw support tickets, never did that in my life. But if I have to, I might do. Especially as it gets really expensive. Now I have to sell the Stalker, after that I can re-buy it and re-equip it. Might be costs of 10 million credits, only for this mech. On a non-premium account.

[THeTA0123]

Surprisingly

a 5 streak SRM6 Stormcrow is incredibly effective and fun to play and not as OP as 5 SRM 6 Stormcrow

[DLFReporter]

I love my CataCrow. ^^
Based on this CPLT-C4 I build this little murderous Stormcrow: SCR-Prime

2xLRM20
2xLRM10 (900)
2xCERML
1xCTAG

It's a nice one for fast LRMs to the flanks with 106km/h. Chainfire those LRMs and the enemy will retreat. Thats like 30s continuous screen shaking for the receiving mech.^^
