Emilie Wimmer's statement about how that lone fighter pilot sacrificed her own life to kamikaze into the Dire Wolf and kill the ilKhan, best exemplifies what the Clans thought of Tyra Miraborg, with a healthy amount of respect and admiration "Yes she killed our ilKhan, but the day i die, i want it to be like that, something glorious and honorable like taking out the enemy's leader with me"

So when the Clans came back, they never quite got back the same momentum and success rate that they did at the start of the invasion

Well, for five minutes anyway.... I still think it would be dope AF to have a MW5:C sequel with a fully voiced Inner Sphere campaign. And I think that campaign really ought to be Rasalhague, instead of mercenaries, Davion, Steiner, or Kurita...
So, maybe it's the Army veteran in me but why in the everlovin' frig is the ilKhan walking the hull of a warship in a mech IN COMBAT? I get that the Clans take machismo to really ludicrous levels, but there's 'brave' and then there's 'too stupid to live'....
He wasn't. He died on the bridge, but eh it's a fairly common thing in Battletech for many leaders to go out and fight in their mechs and not even just the clans, the Inner Sphere boys do it too. Assault Mechs usually, but yeah it's rather stupid. Although to be said Assault Mechs are usually very damned durable: Like imagine a walking Iowa Class Battleship level of durability. Heck that Timber Wolf mech that got destroyed? It's pilot likely survived.
@@Costin_Gaming Fair point. But my point about walking a mech on the hull of a warship in the middle of a battle is equally a fair point. Just because 'everybody does it' doesn't make it smart 😉
@@carlhicksjr8401 It's effectively extra point defense turrets. Makes little sense in an actual WarShip brawl, but can make a difference when you get swarmed by aerospace fighters. Especially for the Clans, because they're using old refurbished SLDF WarShips that have seen relatively little upgrades over the centuries - the whole Clan honor system and their limited resources meant that there was little combat involving those between the Clans. Now the thing about this is that SLDF space doctrine was centered about WarShips serving as mobile logistical nodes and heavy hitters against enemies their own size, while point defense/anti-fighter protection duties were to be centered around escorting assault DropShips (basically DropShips that leave out most or all transport spaces to pack more armor, guns and/or larger engines) and friendly fighters. Except the Clans don't have *those* in SLDF numbers, all while the actual point-defense armament of their WarShips themselves remains rather anemic for their size.
Also the reason that he was there was because the leadership of Clan Wolf was Warden and he wanted to be there to make sure they toed the Crusader line, So When Ulric Kerensky became IlKhan, He placed the Nova Cats and Steel Vipers on the primary Crusader Clans as a way to cause discontent and discord.
I've never understood why every sci fi universe have command bridges with glass at exposed positions on their ships. The only logical placement of a CIC was in Battlestar Galactica where it was deep in the bowels of the ship. What's the reasoning here, exactly? They don't have cameras?
Well the class of warship does have lasers and anti-fighter missile systems, so they do. Thing is the forward defenses meant to protect the bridge were taken out early on in this cinematic as were a lot of the other weapon systems and you need a lot of firepower to take down a space fighter: For context it got hit by a quad of pulse lasers in this cinematic: Those can take down ASSAULT Mechs in the lore.
It’s a Star League era warship: in the lore they were designed around the assumption of mutual support and fighter screens in large fleets, so they sacrificed point defense for more big guns. The Dire Wolf only has a few missile launchers explicitly designed for anti-fighter support, so if someone slips through the fighter screen it doesn’t have much it can do to repel them.
To add to the other two comments, the Clans also tend to bid away warships. The Ravens operate a large navy because they focus on aerospace combat and the Sharks/Foxes have a decent sized escort fleet. But warships tend to be the first thing the Clans bid away when engaging in conflict among each other. As such, most combat tends to be with Dark Caste bandits operating armed civilian vessels which either jumped away during Operation Klondike or were captured afterwards. As such, point defense systems have degraded somewhat due to the perception they're not needed.
@@Tauntauntauntaun This. The SLDF was built around combined-arms warfare with an emphasis on ground troops. They had the freedom to do this, because they literally had more *battleships* than everybody else put together had warships of *any* size, and most of their warships carried a number of fighters and up to a half dozen dropships (*cough* Potemkin), some of which carried even more fighters. The SLN was very rarely challenged, and the clans built very few new warships, preferring to refit and maintain the old ones and focusing mostly on mechs and their ritualized combat. Also note that with a few noticeable exceptions, SLDF warships are almost entirely just armed transports. Yes, even the battleships. Go look up the cargo bays of a Texas or McKenna compared to the tonnages they devote to weapons and armor.

That's what war does. Kills a lot of people in very stupid ways. But this is 100% a lore accurate event, the pilot of that fighter was a named character in the lore.
It's lore accurate but it was stupid that the clans halted their invasion for a year to elect a new ilkhan back at the Clan homeworlds. That's like the Allies halting their liberation of Europe after after D-Day due to Eisenhower dying.

That last spoken line. "Aff. Star Colonel." Jayden basically kicked Cordera Perez in the crotch with that, and it is gloriously deserved.
Tyra of the Rasalhague led,
Forth her fiery flying Drakøns,
Gallant in bronze. A warrior woman whose hands
Were unskilled in the ways of hearth and home,
In skills of war she was hard and trained
To leave behind the airy winds and fight
Where the void is eternal and life fleeting.
Tyra and her warriors fought
Like crazed demons above Radstadt.
When her fighter was crippled by ours,
And her life leaked away into the endless night,
She chose to die
And sent her fighter like a spear
Through the Dire Wolf, claiming as isorla
Our mighty ilKhan's life. Sing of our loss, warriors!
Sing, but of Tyra also,
For though an enemy, her courage none can deny.
