My personal favorite loadout for these is to replace the medium laser with 1 ton of SRM ammo. Some 'mechs boast the ability to shoot 12 or 16 or 20 of those missiles at a time; this baby can detonate all hundred of 'em, right in the target's face, simultaneously!
am i the only person hearing the Savanah master with a Tie Fighter engine SCRREEAAAAAAM? it basically the Ground version of tie fight: cheap, expendable, lightly armed and armoured and FAST.
@@FarseerAnimation That and the Anubis were my first ever BattleMechs, after I bought my first ever mech in MWO, the Osiris, I had to get it in person with its twin brother mech.
@@spamuraigranatabru1149 The Osiris was the first mech I got for the old Mechwarrior: Dark Age tabletop game. Loved the mini and was later delightfully surprised to see it was in Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance. If I recall a mod added the Anubis to that, which was a ton of fun.
@@FarseerAnimation Ahh, such wonderful memories. Ironic that the only other inner sphere stuff I collected was two generic MW5 3D printed tanks and two of my favourite tanks: the Myrmidon. Everything else is clan tech, I love my kit foxes, elementals, vehicles, aircraft and protomechs. So. Many. *Protomechs.*
I see this thing being perfect for local police forces on rural and underdeveloped worlds. Its cannon is probably more than enough to destroy any civilian vehicles and stop criminals.
I don't know, a medium laser might be overkill unless your deputies enjoy handcuffing a charred skeletons after they scrape him out of the molten slag that used to be a car...
I have a VTOL design that's based off of the Warrior H7. Level 1 tech, Fusion engine, PPC, backs up as fast as a Locust can move forward on level terrain. Wins every time. About a million C-bills. Yes, the good old Savanah Master was part of the inspiration for the design. High speed, light armor, decent punch.
“An ambitious buyer could in fact purchase an entire swarm of around 100 Savannah Masters for the same amount.” Remind me again why we use Battlemechs?
IRL using current technology we could design a main battle tank based on ultra large dumptrucks with triple 14inch battleship canons for its main guns and a 150 tons of armor. The rules are literally setup so mechs are the best by default dont think about it too hard. Oh and the funniest part is from my groups calculations the shells wouldn't have to pen through the mech armor. The kinetic dump of several tons of lead moving that fast would so violently arrest the pilot it would kill them instantly.
@@melvinlemay7366 Savannah masters are the size of a Jeep and only weigh five tons. After you occupy all the floor space you could strap the rest to the walls and ceilings.
@@melvinlemay7366 Putting each of them in Light Vehicle Bays you would be right (needing 5,000 tons), but storing them as cargo (500 tons) is possible even on a cargo-variant Leopard
The Ferret is an even easier to acquire VTOL that is a hair over half the price of a savanmah master with no fusion engine concerns and also 5 tons. Excellent swarmers and can take infantry too
Same. Our computer as well as two backups were damaged by a thunderstorm. I’m working hard to salvage what I can. The hardware is replaceable but the data is not
Have convential & near future physical tracking countermeasures, and natural evolutions of those, been completely defeated in Battletech? Things like chaff, flares, smoke (with some kind of aerosolized IR/radar/etc reflecting or scattering material[s]). Even active lasers that guide incoming missiles off target. I know that seismic sensors are a thing (somehow).
Seismics are mostly a gameplay thing from MWO; though remote sensor buoys and probes are certainly a thing. As for countermeasures... it's a complicated point. For the most part; they don't exist, reduced simply to relying on destroying the missiles with AMS systems - anti-missile machine guns or rapid-spray laser systems. You do see smoke munitions on occasion as a broad-spectrum anti-sensor tool; but that's an ammunition option rather than a dedicated countermeasure.
If this is the vehicle that's faced in the dozens in MW5:M then their PGI didn't do their research correctly and just cobbled together variants of a hovercraft like vehicle that can sport a wide range of weaponry from lasers, flamethrowers, machine guns, LRM and SRM systems as well as harasser platformers that seem to fit the bill of the Savannah which usually sport an exclusive weapon system.
I'd imagine Battletech taking a page out of 40K's play book and forcing hundreds of condemned prisoners to swarm mechs with these while the real battle-force is taking objectives.

Demolishing an entire Atlas with a Savannah Master swarm is the equivalent of de-existing Khorne with a comically large spoon.
Spoon OP please nerf
A spoon goes a long way against Khorne flakes.
@@FarseerAnimation beware of the SPOON KILLER!

I mean the Kuritains have mech scale Naganatas. They could make a large spoon as well.
@@lordhefman or build a mech with one! 🥄
One of the best reads from the old technical readouts. It successfully taking on a locust and winning during trails always stuck with me

Draconis Combine kamikazes
The only thing holding the savannah master from godhood is it's inability to swarm out of the trees, that would make it scarier.
For that you need Ferrets
We was happy to lend our voices. Always a pleasure to contribute to your amazing videos, regardless of how brief a part it is.
Your assistance was greatly appreciated, thank you!

it basically the Ground version of tie fight: cheap, expendable, lightly armed and armoured and FAST.
This thing screams out for an enhanced scanning and communication package. The speed of the Savannah Master would make it an amazing scout.
They will tear your rear armor to shreds in short order. Their speed is no joke. Learned that the hard way when I went up against them in a Stalker.
I've wanted to see a presentation on this. Thank you guys for making these, and the neat animations preluding them.
It was a pleasure working on this!
I love these animations dude, please keep making them!!
How dare those things shoot my favourite mech in the intro.
Great video as always!
The Osiris is a beauty and definitely one of my personal favorites!

I'd say the Ferret is quite similar in concept too

Good luck fitting 100 savanna masters in most common dropships.

I critted a Alicorn tank turret Gauss Rifle with a Savannah Master, fare trade off.
ahh savannah master when you dont want turret Gabriel

@@StreetBoyWill really...? Huh. Is it all lost-tech, or was it never a thing in the age of battlemechs?
WHOO BUMPERCARS!!! OwO 👍👍
Ah 100 Medium Lasers that go fast.
Hey, I'd rather drive one of these than be infantry.
Thank you for the video!
I know you don’t post here as much, just wanted to say I love your style, and I’d play a battletech game to death if it had your animation style.
@@Gillymonster18 check out the classic mech mod for MW5 and you’ll partially get your wish!
Mercer Ravannion drives one of these as a commuter.
Been waiting for another video!
So apparently there are rules for robotic drones. And you can turn Savannah Masters said drones.
I don't know where I am going with this.

Can't tell if that'd be more Kuritan, or more Capellan.
@@labrat810 Does nation really matter when the end result can be applied to any of them?
I don't play tabletop, but given its low price, pilot costs actually make a difference to this thing's cost benefit?
One of the most annoying harrasser vehicles
Lore linguistic nit: Don't vehicles still operate in platoons?
cannonically they operate in lance squadrons similar to mechs... and are usually second line units
