The Panther and the Jenner are monsters for what they are. put 4 medium lasers into them, strip everything else, increase armor and heat sinks. they will carry you into the late mid game even against most medium mechs.
Jenner. Drop the JJ, Drop the SRM and it's ammo. Max armor, fill the rest of the tonnage with heatsinks. Best light in the game for general purposes, simple as.
wolfhound are supposed to be rare special forces mechs and they pack quite a bit of rediscovered star league era tech so it was never going to be a fair fight
It's hard not to like a light 'mech that had a whole new 'mech built just to kill it. The Wolfhound was the only time in recent memory that House Steiner actually had to bring more brains than money to the table, and it's maybe the best light 'mech ever made. Unfortunately for the Combine, their response to the Wolfhound was... less than stellar. The Wolf Trap is expensive and fragile, and can't reliably kill the one 'mech it was built to counter.

Hey Ray, remember you can use the game’s in-game camera by pressing ctrl shift V and then attach the camera to a mech by pressing Select on your controller while targeting your mech. This makes it possible to make more dynamic footage.
I mostly play for the purple parakeet, but the Panther just works. Particularly in urban warfare. I am an unrepentant Urbiejock, but if you want to improve an Urbanmech just trade it in for a Panther.
In most of my playthroughs of MW5 I tend to reconfigure Panther to accommodate the role of sniper-command mech for heavier lances. I replace SRMs for LRM5 or 10, depending on availability of DHS, stripping armor from "empty" hand and mech's back. It works surprisingly well in a early-mid-game in tandem with heavier mechs like Hunchbacks, Archers, Grasshoppers, Catapults, etc - with a PPC and LRM you can deliver damage from afar, and at the same time you are usually not the top priority target for enemy AI. Before overtonnage deployment became available in MW5, Panther sometimes was a god's send -- allowing you to save tonnage in some scenarios with strict tonnage limit, thus deploying heavier lancemates. Main mech weakness - its slow speed, and it is a problem on the maps with artillery or in case you failed to predict enemy movement correctly and place Panther directly at the enemy gunsights (a careful look at the map and strategical thinking usually do the thing).
My brain breaks a little every time I realize this is a Light mech with the speed of some 70-tonners. Poor thing at least sits on the Draconis Combine roster, so it doesn't have to worry that often about getting run circles around by the Jenner. You go in with this mech, you're committed until death or you've destroyed everything that's able to catch up to you, and that is a lot of mechs.
I view it as a trap mech. The inability to get away from heavier mechs is terrible and locks you into a fight or die scenario. I guess that's ok if you plan on dying for The Dragon, but it's unfun when trying to make a payday.
I have to disagree. I feel that the Jenner with 4 Med Lasers and a SRM-4. It teaches you to keep on the move, flank or just overwhelm with superior numbers.

My favorite part of this was the mention of the wolfhound as superior. I'm biased, but that's the true Steiner scout mech. They're outstanding.
Agreed. It's speed and armaments together makes it a bane to Panthers.

So, siding with House Kurita would be the best move during the campaign? (They seem to have the better early game mechs).

I barely get scratched when I run panther even in mid game. I keep two around for personal use.
I liked the music. Reminded me of MechWarrior 2 styles.
The "this mech bests this mech that is then bested by this mech" is like classic arms escalation

Anyone else tried swapping the SRM 4 for an LRM 10?
done lrms on him for buddies. works as a good support mech. like if you had 3 panther buddies all with lrms.
Thanks for video! But I'm also recommending to review Steiner start! It has a good starting light mechs like Commando and especially Wolfhound.
That helicopter swarm did pretty good damage to your mech
Anyone know the fastest way to acquire a Locust?
How do you have the hud
Most likely a mod.
WLF-GNR with 5 T5 med Las, max armor, ECM and fill the rest with double heatsinks. My favorite little brawler.
Slow like an assault mech, and only 2 weapon slots.
Have to disagree. The Enforcer is the best.
nope disagree the panther is crap.
Still stings to get hit by a PPC when you're ignoring that light mech blip on the radar. Definitely more useful than an Urbanmech with an AC20.
