@harkeill dude, a helspawn stands no chance against this omnimech. When I used it, it was very good at cooling down. A trebuchet however has some chance... Usually primary configs somehow suck, but this med-ranged config nova is amazing. I do more damage in my Nova than in my Marauder IIC! Now I understand you like your Crab :)
@MsGunMetal I'll give you that, if only for its speed, maneuverability and the fact that it crouches to the ground because of its size, but even with 14 double heat sinks, it doesn't do well with heat management.
The Hell Spawn or even Trebutchet are both fine Medium-class 'mechs that can give the Nova a good fight fight with a competent pilot, as both are designed for close range and long range attacks.
@harkeill Yep, fire, hide, reload, show up for a sec, fire, hide reload, and so on. A short range tactic required on high difficulties to win. Actually not my tactic, but it still works well. Need good engine to retreat in time.
@MsGunMetal Generally the way I battle on a battlefield, I tend to use the terrain and speed as my weapons and defense more than actual weapons or armour. It might take longer to bring down an enemy, but then warfare is more than just about brute strength. Damn I wish for the days of strapping into my Crab.

@harkeill There's no more dangerous in the 50T range than a primary Nova with a competent mechwarrior piloting it.

@harkeill Some trashborn scum in a mech increases its armor tonnage? In what way I wonder?

@gribae a Timber Wolf is a Clan OmniMech designed by Clan Wolf. So what you say is naugh

@Shinrom I think they meant that because it was a freebirth piloting the Timber Wolf is why it was defeated so quickly.

@gribae Actually Mechwarrior 2 was a Clanner game... so all mechs were Clan created
