Please remove the C class from the Game or think about some really usable function, beside Siege, in this game.

Servers dominated by little Reapers and SS. Cmon. Is this the intention of this Game ? There is no function for the C class without the Medic. Every light A class mech can kill the big C class even in turret mode.

So ..better remove it from the game, else the frustrating game experience will throw more new players away, which choose the C class without warning.

Remove it or give it some purpose in the Game. Everything else is sad.

I've seen so many complaints about C class mechs and honestly I've had it. This is beyond ridiculous. Your problem is not with the C class mechs. Its not with the A class mechs. Its simply a lack of understanding about the game and more specifically how to use C classes. C class is awesome and has purpose. I hope that one day you will stop raging so much and find that purpose because only the pilot can give it meaning.

I'm uploading my Grenadier video soon...I think the score was 26/5? Anyway, it proves that C-Classes can easily top the scoreboard with MVP and Kill Leader.

Seriously, C-Classes are at a slight disadvantage, but the right pilot can still decimate in them. You aren't required to play them, so why complain about them?

Fight a good pilot in a type C, and as I've told others, come back to the forums traumatized.

It get's funny that few realize just how devastating a 1v1 AvC can be, you get stomped so hard you come out as nothing more than dust to be kicked up as the C class boosts towards it's next victim. I honestly fear a few pilots if I see them in a type C, and I'm not the new flavor of nubcake on the block either. Few of the great type C pilots ever make a mistake, their strategy is their own and it may seem derpy to outsiders but it will wreck buildings when it comes down to it. Weather it's hugging them in a flak Brawler, curving rockets around a corner in a Rocketeer, or chucking endless grenades down a choke point in a Grenadier, they will succeed even if the strategy is to lure you into a shield filled with EOC pucks, they have the HP to make minor mistakes, suicide bomb, or even fall off a bridge to chase you, they'll still come out on top. And the best type C pilots make very few mistakes...

Fight a good type C pilot then you'll be calling for a nerf due to power, not a removal due to uselessness.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion though *shrugs and walks off.*

Thank you, this is the type of stuff I'm talking about.

And I think I may have another pilot to add to the "fear" list.

LOL, C is usless without a technician?

How on earth are you playing while piloting a C?!

Post your video and let us critique your playstyle and weapon/item choices.

Methinks you are trying to play C as though you are an A or B
...I've seen many C-Classes kicking butt!  You need to re-evaluate your strategy and loadout, because C has great potential, but it's not easy to pilot and recover from making stupid mistakes the way the A's allow for.

I think you spent your credits on a C-Class a little too early and are now experience a bit of shock from the drastic difference in tactics and playstyle you need to adopt.

Wish I had the screenshot of my epic Grenadier match, I could show you....Either way, have you ever met a pro C-class user? Ever encountered any? Well, once you do, you'll be sorry you asked for their removal.

Bottom line: Take my Grenadier away and I'll 3D model and program my own and put it back in.

This topic is coming up way too often and on that i will agree. but  to those players who keep saying "oh but a good c class player will stomp you" ... give him enough time in an A class and then he will stomp  even more. pirits curving rockets around corners isnt that easy as it seems. my main problem with C classes is that i do best with them while supported with a team on my own i just get slaughtered. that is pretty much forcing people to play a different class in some scenarios. oh wait i forgot something.(see post down)

Call outs then...

And you couldn't even bother to capitalize my name, which is understandable, if your using a phone. Also you missed a comma behind my name tisk tisk...

I can't personally curve rockets, but I'm learning how to. I do however know how to make your life living hell in my Brawler, and my Grenadier has a 100% guarantee to wipe an A class of the face of the earth on first full salvo and send B class pilots into a panic, it can also rain hell down on you from range, thanks to the HEAT. Don't get me wrong, I have had a few great mid range duels in my Rocketeer in which I come out on top of the dust and robot soul of the fool that decided to engage at mid range...

I'm no where near the best, quite the opposite as I do know the pilots to fear and I do so, they more or less step on my throat and apply pressure until I stop moving. But I am good enough to show the lesser half what a C type can do.

My Rocketeer would like to have a word with those of you that thing that Type-C mechs are useless.

I had a DM match the other day on Bazaar, and I was totally dominating in my Rocketeer. So I switched to my Reaper half way through the game to try and give the other players more of a chance. I then ended up dying about four times for every kill I got.

Sure sounds like Type-C mechs are useless to me... :rolleyes:

Speculation is that in 2 weeks we get a new mech, hence a new update.
Speculation is that the new mech is a C.
Speculation is that the devs have read all the complaints about the C.
Speculation is that with this new C mech also comes a C update to make the people who complain about C's happy.
Now normally this is the part where I would ask people to chill out, grab a pair of sunglasses and go drink some Sunny-D, but speculation is that this complaining about the C will continue on until the speculated patch that is speculated to arrive within 2 weeks actually arrives.

But then again I'm just speculating.

You leave my Rocketier alone!  Anyone who says Grenadier or Rocketiers aren't good in Hawken simply need to learn how to play support better.  The Brawler is a killing machine in the right hands and the Cupcake is pretty fun to pilot as well.  C types are very balanced in the game right now, the only problems are A types are a bit too easy to be crazy agile and C types don't have an ability right now.  (no turret mode does not count)

I have a lvl 25 rocketeer with mostly an armor spec. In DM i drop down a radar and just wait for a victim to come close. When they come around the corner they are immidiatly greeted by a missile salvo draining half hp. I kill them when i still have 75% health left. Usually a second person comes to check out the fighting. 90% of the time i take that person out too before getting killed by a 3rd mech storming in for an easy kill.

In team based modes i usually draw fire in turtle mode whilst the rest of the team is shooting from behind me using me as micro cover. Sometimes i live sometimes i die. But the team almost always wins.

How come ppl think C type mechs are easilly killed by a type mechs. I say that it's just a lot of whining from ppl who think C-type mechs should be played in the same way as A or B type mechs. These slow giants are not build to dodge out of harms way. They are build to stay in harms way and eat whatever comes at them after frying it with their weapons.
