What vehicle do you want to see in MW:LL the most?
« on: April 18, 2010, 12:40:03 PM »
Following the What mech do you want to see in MW:LL the most? topic I'd like to start a new one:

What vehicle do you want to see in MW:LL the most?

Write here what Vehicles would you like to see most - whatever these would be the Tanks or Hovercrafts, but also what Aerospace and VTOLs would you want to see most?

For reference, the list of units there are / will be in MWLL:

Write down, small pictures are welcome :)

Many of the ones from Mechcommander:

Shrek (PPC Tank)

Alacorn (Gauss Tank)

Aerospace Spotter (Marking targets for aerospace fighters)

Rommel

Vedette
Quote from: Ravir
In a groundbreaking new feature, MWLL will include a new gametype: MechRockerBandHeroKersplosion.  Pilots will smash the throttle to classic 80's speed metal using custom ethernet plugin to real guitars.  PPC's will be triggered by power chords, and LRM ammo is selected by playing one of 17 distinctive hammer-on rifts.  Get a teammate elemental to hop up on your mech's shoulder and throw up the horns, and with a hot duel you can deflect enemy fire BY THE POWER OF YOUR ROCK!

Ace - you didnt check the links, did you? ;) The Shrek is already in editor, playable. So most likely it'll be released one day to the game as well :)


Epona Pursuit Vehicle

Clan hovercraft. Medium-class. It's large as for hovercraft, packs armor roughly equaling the one on Huey/Partisan, but runs hell fast and got very nice weapons:
  • Prime: 4 MPL, SSRM4, 1 spare ton
  • A: 2 LRM20, 2 ERMBL, TAG, 4 spare tons
  • B: UAC10, 2 SSRM4, 3 spare tons
  • C: ERPPC, SSRM6, TAG, GECM, 1 spare ton
;D

Manteuffel

Just because I like Heavy Gauss 8) IS Heavy tank. Very nice armor, quite nice speed, got HGauss! And would be close-range unit with C3 - something we really need.
  • Prime: RAC5, 3 ERMBL, GECM, C3, 3 spare tons
  • A: AC20, 2 MBL, ERSBL, C3, 5 spare tons
  • B: Hgauss, MBL, ERSBL, 4 spare tons
I'd swap the A variant though... get rid of ERSBL and mount AC10...


Myrmidon Medium Tank

Cause we need more medium units :) And this one looks like very nice, classical tank. WW2 and stuff... you know :) So: Very high mobility + decent armor
  • Prime: PPC, SRM6, 1 spare ton
  • I'd also add following: A: LtGauss, 1 SRM6, GECM, 1 spare ton
  • B: AC10, 1ERSPL, 1 spare ton
  • C: LBX10, 2MPL, 1 spare ton
(my setups are not agreed with CBT - screw it - just made them for fun ;) )

Typhoon
IS heavy fighter - flying wing with quite nice look + decent weapons :)
  • Prime: LRM15, 2 AC10, 2 PPC, 4 spare tons
  • I'd also add following: A: 2 RAC5, AC2, AC5, 2LRM10, 2AMS, BAP, GECM, 1 spare ton
  • B: 4 MRM40, BAP, GECM
  • C: 8 Fbombs
This one should work with CBT tonnage though :)
A would be great heavy fighter, something to fight with Shivas. AMS would let it stay in air when caught under fire from ground LRMs.
B would have heavy kick on very close range ground strikes. Would be fun to have MRMs on ASF ^^ Though it wouldn't be easiest unit to fly for sure.
C would be ultimate carpet bomber :D Something every ground unit have to respect.

  • A: AC20, 2 MBL, ERSBL, C3, 5 spare tons
  • B: Hgauss, MBL, ERSBL, 4 spare tons

I really like the variants this tank has, but I think I'd fiddle with it and end up with something like this:
  • 1 Gauss
  • 2 ERMBL, or 1 ERLBL, or 2 MPL
  • C3
  • GECM
  • Eoptics or AMS
  • 1 free ton

I'd like to keep the HGauss, but it takes up soooooo much space (not to mention ammo problems).

There are many tanks I'd like to see, but the most important for me would be

Bulldog
Could be used as an early combat vehicle to stand against the combat-purpose light mechs. Especially if the Partisan ever gets demoted to a pure AA vehicle.


Kanga
More hovercrafts would be great, and this one is very special, as it is the only tank unit mounting jumpjets.


Schrek
Energy boat tank mounting PPCs, as said before it is already available in the editor.
More or less the IS counterpart to the Clan Morrigu.


Alacorn
One of my favorite CBT units  ;D
Gauss boat mounting 3 standart Gauss in its prime version while another variant carries 2x HGauss. When added to MWLL we could maybe add a quad LGauss Alacorn


Challenger X
One of the best anti mech tanks available and with some little tweaks it could easily hold its ground against early assault mechs and be a treat to the later ones.


Von Luckner
Heavy tank carrying enough weapons to punch holes into an Atlas.

I don't know if there's anything in the canon for it, but I'd love to see a heavier VTOL.

What I'm envisioning is a two player gunship with a pilot and gunner.  The gunner gets a turret mounted RAC and NARC launcher and the pilot gets a fairly heavy missile load - say two LRM20s, three LRM15s, or three T-bolts.  Maneuverability somewhat less than the Hawkmoth, but at least twice the armor, and possibly a bonus against the AA autocannons while taking more damage from LRMs and beam weapons than the Hawkmoth currently does.

I envision this as a SEAD and anti-mech VTOL that's balanced by the need for two players, a high cbill cost, and a larger - easier to hit - airframe (that makes it a prime target for enemy Aerospace).  In particular it would be able to hide in terrain and act as a counter to the dedicated AA tankers that can pretty much hang back behind the lines and decimate ANY aero/vtol on the map currently.

-Rommel/Patton (the closest thing to a simple Main Battle Tank in CBT)

    * 1x Autocannon/20 / 10
    * 1x LRM-5
    * 1x Flamer
    * 1x Small Laser

-Shrek
-Alacorn
-the ability to turn ;)

Oh, that thing is old. Actually a Star League design, nothing new or innovative these days ;)

VTOLs only go up to 30 tons.

Love the look of this tank..
The Athena
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Athena

Sniper tank, probably totally overpowered..
2x Gauss ;)
1x LRM-10
2xERMBL
2xMachine Guns

The lasers and machine guns are mounted in a turret, so it might be a good option for a two person tank, and the gauss rifles are fixed, so its not that easy to hit with them.

The Epona is an Omnivehicle too, which makes it mega awesome.

Hell yeah.
The day we get this baby will be the day I finally start to use ASF in MWLL.
I looooove MRMs and this baby has 4 MRM40s?  :o ;D
Imagine all those exploding Assaults  ;D

VTOLs only go up to 30 tons.

There are WiGe's, which are essentially a cross between a hovercraft and a VTOL.  Just imagine a hovercraft that fly at low altitude at high speeds.
Thanks for the view.

Didn't the BT have barely any of these, with huge majority being transporters? ::)
The concept is great, the way they made it at the end - pathetic.
