O_O wow...

  :o

 Wow indeed!

So, when I get my shield generator? You know, this one on 4-legged Mech with 2 powerful lasers of nearly unlimited range? 8)

 You mean this one? ::)

You've read the first two posts and you haven't noticed that it's a topic for discoussion about all other units than Mechs, and that the first sentence has link to topic about Mechs? Ohh.... I'm seriously disappointed.
hahaha  ;D ok, this was funny.
But I have good news for you!!! Your wish will become true* as Kodiak is already planned for MWLL!!!!

*it will become true, but when, noone knows

I know ... the question is WHEN????? (you might not anwser that so here is a backup question)
Form 1-10 how big of a priority is it.
..., but this is battletech, and sense is often not made.

It's as high priority as all the other Clan Assaults  ;)
But seriously - I'm a different part of the team, don't know anything about Mechs status nor their urgency what so ever till they point they hit the test. If something had hit the test - you'll see it in 0.4.0 release, if something had not hit the test you won't see it - simple as that. And: no, noone from the dev team will tell you whatever something is tester or it's not. Leer though makes posts with screenshots from playtests - take a look at them if you'll need any hints of what will be released in 0.4.0.

 AT-AT had a powerful shied generator. That's why rebel speeders needed "Skywaker maneuver" to bring them down.

Armour:

AT-AT walkers are essentially invulnerable to conventional artillery fire. Their hull surfaces absorb and dissipate blaster bolts without the vehicle feeling so much as a jolt. This supports the notion that shots from energy weapons carry very little momentum (making the bolts light-like). When less armoured materials are shot, a puff of vapourised matter expands violently away from the blast point and this can account for recoil and jolting. Kinetic effects may also result from bolt-shield interactions on a shielded vehicle, as shields may carry momentum and angular momentum. AT-AT walkers are not proven to be shielded, but they could have enough of an unarmoured veneer (eg. paint?) to account for an almost imperceptible amount of jolting under fire.

Only three points of vulnerability in the AT-AT hull are known at this time. One was the hatch used by Luke Skywalker to penetrate a concussion grenade into a walker's interior. That weak spot is hidden beneath the lips of the lateral hull armour amidst the walker's drive mechanisms. The second weakness is the pair of open vents just under the armoured upper shelf of the front face of the main hull. One snowspeeder on Hoth strafed and missed these vents on an upright AT-AT, before Luke Skywalker decided his trip-cable tactic. After the first walker fell, a 'speeder made a similar frontal attack without fear of the walker's head guns. A precision blast to a (presumably unarmoured) neck section exploded the AT-AT immediately. These soft spots are probably well-known to rebel pilots, in theory if not necessarily in practice.

The AT-AT walkers are astonishingly resilient to enemy fire from the outside, but are easily demolished from within. This is an important clue about the nature of the armour. Its effectiveness may be directional. Or it may be essentially designed for energy attacks, with an enormous heat capacity and thermal conductivity, so absorbed blaster bolts heat a large patch of hull slightly rather than heating a localised area to the point of vapourisation (which is what happens with ordinary materials). It remains uncertain whether these unusual properties are innate to the armour material, or are the result of augmentation by something akin to an energy shield suffusing the hull of an active walker. If the properties are innate to the material, then the armour may incorporate forms of matter beyond those available to modern chemistry and nucleosynthesis on Earth.

The resistance to blaster fire is not just a ray shield projected out to some distance from the surface of the vehicle, as a starship would use. If it was a ray shield, we would expect to see absorbed bolts splinter into a shower of relatively harmless daughter bolts, as is the known behaviour of ray shields in space.

Reading the whole thread I'd recommend the Heimdall for medium range AA capabilities. Seems like a reasonable addition in close combat action as well. :)

Demo II is redundant now. MWLL Demo is exactly what you you see on sarna.net only split between 2 variants to make it more useful and without 2 Mguns of DemoII


If that would be too redundant then what about the Ajax or maybe the Behemoth?

I could definitely see the Ajax's A variant being loads of fun:
   Alt. Config. A - This very popular configuration carries three Rotary Autocannon/5s, along with nine tons of ammunition. A Guardian ECM Suite provides protection against enemy electronics. An ER Small Laser is mounted in the turret along with the autocannons, though it is rarely of much use. As with the primary configuration, the Ajax A carries a C3 Slave. BV (1.0) = 1,409 (C3: 265)

As well as the Kurita variant of the Behemoth:
    * Kurita variant - Developed some time during the FedCom Civil War, this version of the Behemoth removes all the standard weaponry. It carries a pair of Ultra AC/10s, a pair of MRM-10 launchers, and a pair of Artemis IV FCS enhanced SRM-6 launchers in the turret. To provide some additional long range firepower, it mounts a pair of LRM-5 launchers with Artemis guidance systems on the front of its hull. BV (2.0) = 1,336[1]

That Ajax looks beautiful, 3x RAC5 would be overkill even with the rather weak RACs we have in MWLL.
Never arm once what you could arm twice.

There is no kill like overkill.  ;D

The Ajax would be a wonderful addition to MWLL.

Omni Vehicle is something IS certainly could use :) It'd outmatch Demo which is already very dangerous unit encouraging Combined Arms a more in later stages of game. It has also a potential of creating few custom variants.... eg. something with 2 UAC10, MRM40, a Tbolt, biggest one that would fit and a GECM. Amazing brawling tank, with ability to fire the missile of death finishing off the opponent. I'd <3 to play it!!!
