Is there any weapon combos you really want to see on a mech of a particular class.




For me this is the Point D Vulcan and the TOW on a Light mech. This in my eyes would be perfect for me. The Berserker seems like it could fill that roll from its name but its given the same weapon layout as the standard light.

What is something that you guys would love to see_

This actually happened, and it was a horrible thing to behold.
The Vulcan has no place being on an A-Class.

Remember when thinking of weapon combos: Balance > Cool

An Sa Hawkins and a sabot on a light mech.

or a seeker and hellfires on an A mech just for fun

Vulcan's barely belong on a B class for that matter.

I think it was fight club that it happened cuz i don't remember it...or i just have a bad memory.

Up to and including CB2.

Vulcans do not belong on A-Classes. Yes, they're nerfed now (too nerfed) but the sheer maneuverability combined with such a high DPS weapon made them absolutely murderous.

Frankly, they need to be yanked off the L20 Assault, too, due to its ability to ignore heat. It's fine on the Bruiser.

[Etan]

I would just like a wider variety of secondaries

[FenixStryk]

I would really enjoy a close-range bullet-based secondary to accompany a Flak or Vulcan.

As for current weapons_ How about Seeker + Sabot on a B class_

[defekt]

Perhaps there’s a case to be made for making the Vulcan a bullet-based Secondary.  If it buzzed out ~300 points worth of high spread damage every couple of seconds, spinning up and winding down at the top and tail of each fusillade of rounds, you’ve got an ideal CQB compliment to an SMC or an AR on your hands.

Edit: Yeah, well...

[D20Face]

I want the flak secondary to come out.

[PiVoR]

double HEAT cannons or double Helfires

[Etan]

double tows would look like boxing gloves haha

Hmmm...
I quite like the idea of a high-sustained-damage chaingun as a secondary.

[fwip]

I'd like to see the SA Hawkins with Hellfires. I also like the Vulcan-as-secondary proposal, it would be a fun feel.

[Necro]

We do need more versatile secondarys. All of these mid-range explosives start to get boring.

I could go for a bit of that, yeah.  Particularly if the sustained fire had a chance of prematurely detonating incoming explosives, like a Phalanx CIWS.

[Etan]

To my knowledge all bullets can blow up incoming explosives.

[Frenotx]

EOC + sabot on an A-class.
