I know this, but to thing of the technologies they use they cold as well R&D and produce a full pilot suit that is harden against Vacum, NBC, and high temp. Ohter then that is just a personel like. Tankers ware a jumpsuit, even in teh heat of the Midle East and in the turret with the heat of equipment and weapons fire. As for the mechs build up of heat, it would need to build in more systems to lower tem. Fun thing about Sci-Fi, its you can always build in new systems.
@PANZERDRIVER1 Aye, that's what heat sinks in Battlemechs are for, to dissipate as much heat from a 'mech as posible in the heat of battle after continuously using all of their weapons. I never followed the Armour division though, but I assume it works in much the same way, with their weapons heat-build up, but it comes in handy more with 'mech pilots, since even moving a 'mech can generate a lot of heat from their fusion reactors.
@PANZERDRIVER1 No, the cockpit of a 'mech is air-tight, meaning that you can operate them both in space and undwer water. The cooling vests they wear are only to keep their body temperature regulated with the amount of heat build-up caused by their 'mechs, nothing more.
The Colonel was way out of line telling the orderly to inform the flight deck the LZ was clear. If you hadn't went ahead and told them we were go for invasion, this wouldn't be a problem, but now we've a touchdown ETA under 1:30, so you'd damn well better hope I get this under control, or that's your life/career. Really, it's a Hunchback, a Raven, a Centurion, and a freakin' COMMANDO. An elite Clan pilot isn't needed here; this lance stands NO chance against even a regular-level Madcat pilot.
This fight is choreographed to be intense for the watchers (us)... so there are some delays in there to heat your tension up.
a) In the Timer Wolf I would've shot the Raven the instance I turned my torso
b) In the Raven I would be on the run the sec I launched my missiles
c) The Clan pilot is indeed incompetend, doesn't hit shit with his super accurate weapon tec. Clan homeworlds are defended by 2nd or 3rd rated units, not their elite.
@Kashban youre wrong at b), here's why, as you may have noticed they are taking commands from a commander and they do what the commander tells them to do and when panther(the raven pilot) shot the Timber Wolf or Mad Cat, he did not know what to do next, that's why.
@mistryeag1e I've run the Raven in alot of battles in MW4 Mercs online in a Lance with a commander and if there is one rule to game, it is: A light mech is either on the move or destroyed. One second of hesitation is enough for everyone of the size of a Mad Cat to spoil your day.
In Mech Commander Game the Commander triggers all events. In a "real" combat situation a light pilot has to have certain areas to act freely and a Mad Cat just in front of you is exactly one of that areas.
@barneythefatdinosaur 'Spare parts for everyone!!'...lol i love the pilots in this game hahah...Firestorm was my favorite...idk why, maybe b/c the mech he first drives is the stolen Dire Wolf =D
@CMDRFandragon Salvage was ridiculous fun, but also thoughtful (hence one of the tactical elements). I remember MechWarrior 3 (takes place after MechCommander), by the time I reached Ops Zone 3, I said "screw it, trash all the IS weapons and just bring Clan stuff."
@Gallowell By the time I reached Ops Zone 3, I ran out of room for salvage. The only things I.S. I could take with me are the heavier Mechs I could get, and a bunch of Lasers (thankfully less heat than Clan variants. Heat level cap in Mech3 is 100, Mech2 is 255). I had to ditch most of the I.S. ballistics (save my trusty AC-10) and missiles because they're a crapload heavier than Clan ammo-based weapons. Besides, when you blow up the Mech factory in 2-4, you get a boatload of Clan tech.
Lol, I love how the Raven rockets bounce off the armor without even leaving char marks, then the Mad Cat just turns and is like..."did you seriously just do that"?
@thedoctor42209 Seeing how the Timber Wolf has its LRM-20s, that would depend if he is too close (the minimum LRM lock on range is 75 meters). Otherwise, he could have done an Alpha Strike (or done an Alpha sans LRMs).
Uno de mis juegos favoritos, recuerdo haberme desesperado millones de veces tratando de recuperar el MADCAT o el VOLTURE para tener un mejor arsenal. Espero algun dia poder jugar el Mechcommander 2.
It doesn't actually make sense that the other mechs got to where they were that quickly... at the intersection we'll say the raven was to the west. The command has it turn 180, run west, then turn right twice. At this point the raven is east of the mad cat - the thor etc appear from the west... At the intersection they had gone south, meaning they had to run almost twice as far to get to where they were, and they're much slower mechs than the raven, which ran the whole way... Zzz.
Achso, was ich rückblickend irgendwie schade find ist, dass keines von den 8 BTech PC Spielen, die ich gespielt habe, Mechnahkampf hatte und darum Mechs wie der Axman generell schonmal draussen waren. Gerade bei nem Strategiespiel hätte ich die Option lustig gefunden. Damals wusste ich nicht, dass es das überhaupt gibt, Mech mit Nahkampfwaffen, aber heute wo ich es weiß, hätte ichs gern mal gespielt.
@Gammelbit I know the loadout is usually AC20, and that the cannon size looks like one too, but it doesn't seem to fire like an AC20. Seems to fire too rapidly for that in the video. Maybe UAC20? Probably just a video inaccuracy.
In retrospect, Commandos don't carry LRMs either >_>
Ein geniales Spiel war es auf jeden Fall. Technisch war es vielleicht nicht mehr ganz up to date, aber es hat ziemlich Spass gemacht. MC war auch mein ersten BT Spiel (danach dann MW2) und ich fands beim ersten Mal wirklich schwer. Später, mit mehr Ahnung von Story, Mechs und Waffen, wars dann noch spassiger.
Teil 2 fand ich auch recht cool, auch wenn er genau wie MW4 ja merklich vereinfacht wurde. Damals fand ichs auch noch nicht nervig, dass Steiner die Nazirolle haben.
It always fires a series of rounds - with higher calibre of course.
I think in MW 3 especially that was pretty well designed. I know in the tabletop game rules etc it is a single round but that is of course for gameplay reasons ;)
The Commando of course has no LRM, but a shitload of SRM - i don't know what range in 'hexes' that was, but it was closer than 9 ;)
Good enough for both ranges ;D and the world looks okay again ^^
@JheakrynaKyAlur Just to expand on what you said, the amount of rounds an AC can fire is directly related to the designation of the AC weapon in question: Where AC20 fires of a 'cluster' of 20 armour splitting shells, the AC5 spits out 5 rounds, like the AC does 10. Exactly the same as the LRM, SRM and (dare I even acknowledge its existence) the MRM
i'm not that sure if the AC really fires up to 20 rounds... that sounds more like the LBX AC, with some pallets to hit the enemy - with the missile hit table.
but in fact yes, ACs don't fire a single shell, but a stream of grenades that are summed up to the ammount of dmg it deals. but without missile table :)
@JheakrynaKyAlur You're right, sorry. Yes, it is the LBX weapons that do that, so what I said about the AC just ignore or put it down to a momentary brain freeze.
@Panax07 Two lights (one a Raven which is worth squat in direct combat, especially against a Clan heavy) and two mediums, all of which has shorter range then the Clan Heavy, the Clan Timber Wolf class would have enough firepower to take em down. Hell, if the Timber Wolf pilot wasnt incompetent that lance would have been wiped out.
@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh At least the Mad Cat pilot was bright enough to take out the Hunchback first. (not saying much, the fact that they can take on heavier mechs is well known)
Yes, I called it a Mad Cat, I'm a die hard Lyran and I'll call it by it's Inner Sphere name! (I've met people who are a bit anal about using the Clan Names)
@SwordlordRoy Oh, I agree that in the IS it should be called a Mad Cat, its just that when its being piloted by a clanner I tend to call it Timber Wolf.
And I am a Steiner-Davion (And by extention the Federated Commonwealth) fan. (and I also like the Taurians). I hated it when Katherine Steiner-Davion went ahead and caused a civil war. That ***** deserved to have died in the womb. =/
@JoshuatheKodiak The Clans know tactics, they just relied on their genetic engineering and beliefs that they were 'superior' to any freeborn to consider anyone much of a threat. That's how the IS brought the invasion to a halt, not by any real tactics but to use the Clan's arrogance against them.
@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh The Timber Wolf pilot wasn't incompetant (although I can se why you could think so). I put it down to the fact that the Jaguars only allowed Trueborns to be MechWarriors and a trait all Trueborns share is that they consider freeborns nothing but barbiarns and underestimate them far too often. If it wasn't for the Jaguar's arrogance and constantly switching targets, it would have won without any difficulty.
@Gallowell That may be, but the only thing the pilot did right was taking down the Hunchback first, the Hunchback with its AC20 was admittedly the most dangerous.
@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh In the city fight - the range is not exactly everything - and with Ravens jamming he must have come closer to use the rockets. His fault was that he let the small and quick bastard (Raven) get his attention. He could have easily ignore him. As heavy he got enought armor to smash the running two to pieces and than, after thery dead, just wipe the little anoying thing out.
@Tholdrinn True enough, yeah, the Clanner should have ignored the Raven, and focused on the Centurion and then the Commando, after which he would have looped back to take out the Raven. Since unlike the Raven (and the Commando for that matter) a Centurion cant outrun him.
@blisterbeetle01 They're fanatics, fanatics don't do things that make sense. They probably gave him the privilege because he was suicidally aggressive or something.
@jahahahaha To be honest it was hit by several missiles in the rear torso section, these are lightly armoured even at maximum armor, and if I remember correctly this is were the engine might be
You have to love the look of the Timber Wolf as it turns to face the Raven after it launches an SRM salvo into it's back. Always makes me think the Timber Wolf pilot is saying "Okay, NOW you are royally fucked little freebirth!"
@couchpatatoe51 Been there and done that. As long as you know how to use not just speed but terrain to your advantage, you can pretty much bring down an entire Star of Heavies as long as you don't get cocky.
Of course, the Raven is not really available to self-pilot in most games, so I take out the Fire Moth whenever possible.
@darkawakening01 lol yeah i remember thinking that she's actually evil ( a spy or i don't know what) when i was 7 years old...AAAAh good old times. god i loved this game is because of the ridiculous dificulty. i never played the gold edition and i don't care to play this game with lower dificulty :D. today games are RETARDEDLY easy...
Lol pretty much. At least the HB mighta done some damage if he hadn't have missesd his AC shot. Far as Battletech canon is concerned, that thing could saw a Mad Cat in half o_O
@madcat789 Particularly when you take into account the Timber Wolf boasts all Clan tech (which includes but not limited to extended range weapons and radar) but a genetically engineered soldier who is bred to pilot the 75 tons of walking metal (not to say a huge ego of himself and loathing for any freeborn)
Too bad Fasa is down and out. Not to mention a host of legal problems between the current owners of the Battletech universe and a competitor. I think the MechWarrior and MechCommander games would be great contenders for remastering and re-release onto modern game consoles and computers.
Considering that the last expansion of MechWarrior 4 was released in 2003, I think we may never see such a venture happen or at least not any time soon...
@DrMackFoxx These days, the kiddies are too busy whining and kicking up a hssy fit about such shit like the (equally shit) Transformers movies for anyone to take notice of the great old games and those of us who are fans of such things as BattleTech and MechWarrior.
@DrMackFoxx These days, the kiddies are too busy whining and kicking up a hissy fit about such shit like the (equally shit) Transformers movies for anyone to take notice of the great old games and those of us who are fans of such things as BattleTech and MechWarrior.
The only mission I really hated was perhaps Mission 4 of Operation 1 (I think is the correct one) where you had to defend the farm from 4 Stars and seemingly unlimited armour support. I still curse those SRM carriers!
One of the best intros of the day. Still awesome today. Its too bad Microsoft got involved with the second one and ruined it, along with the Mechwarrior franchise. These games were great as is.
@gribae Um. Ok. Simply because I'm interested: what exactly in my comment post was so horrible? Which part? I was making silly fun of a silly intro movie. Tell me what I did wrong because I have no idea.

@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh I never called the Clan 'mechs by their IS variant. It seemed to 'cheapen' them somehow, and the Clan names were always cooler.

Clanners don't know tactics, they rely on their superior skills and technology. Thus the IS outsmarts them
JoshuatheKodiak 7 months ago
@JoshuatheKodiak The Clans know tactics, they just relied on their genetic engineering and beliefs that they were 'superior' to any freeborn to consider anyone much of a threat. That's how the IS brought the invasion to a halt, not by any real tactics but to use the Clan's arrogance against them.
Gallowell 7 months ago
@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh The Timber Wolf pilot wasn't incompetant (although I can se why you could think so). I put it down to the fact that the Jaguars only allowed Trueborns to be MechWarriors and a trait all Trueborns share is that they consider freeborns nothing but barbiarns and underestimate them far too often. If it wasn't for the Jaguar's arrogance and constantly switching targets, it would have won without any difficulty.
Gallowell 7 months ago
@Gallowell That may be, but the only thing the pilot did right was taking down the Hunchback first, the Hunchback with its AC20 was admittedly the most dangerous.
HoOkEdOnBlEaCh 7 months ago
@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh In the city fight - the range is not exactly everything - and with Ravens jamming he must have come closer to use the rockets. His fault was that he let the small and quick bastard (Raven) get his attention. He could have easily ignore him. As heavy he got enought armor to smash the running two to pieces and than, after thery dead, just wipe the little anoying thing out.

@Tholdrinn True enough, yeah, the Clanner should have ignored the Raven, and focused on the Centurion and then the Commando, after which he would have looped back to take out the Raven. Since unlike the Raven (and the Commando for that matter) a Centurion cant outrun him.

You have to love the look of the Timber Wolf as it turns to face the Raven after it launches an SRM salvo into it's back. Always makes me think the Timber Wolf pilot is saying "Okay, NOW you are royally fucked little freebirth!"

@couchpatatoe51 Been there and done that. As long as you know how to use not just speed but terrain to your advantage, you can pretty much bring down an entire Star of Heavies as long as you don't get cocky.
Of course, the Raven is not really available to self-pilot in most games, so I take out the Fire Moth whenever possible.

Although there are canon reasons why a Clanner would ignore those other two mechs... that doesn't make him less of an idiot.

@madcat789 Particularly when you take into account the Timber Wolf boasts all Clan tech (which includes but not limited to extended range weapons and radar) but a genetically engineered soldier who is bred to pilot the 75 tons of walking metal (not to say a huge ego of himself and loathing for any freeborn)

Too bad Fasa is down and out. Not to mention a host of legal problems between the current owners of the Battletech universe and a competitor. I think the MechWarrior and MechCommander games would be great contenders for remastering and re-release onto modern game consoles and computers.
Considering that the last expansion of MechWarrior 4 was released in 2003, I think we may never see such a venture happen or at least not any time soon...
