One thing to consider probably: Unlike in MWO, campaign missions have vehicles to engage, so pure anti-mech builds could be overkill and medium energy weapons or low-grade missiles etc can be more useful to kill lightly armored vehicles.
The Banshee 3E wouldn't be a lemon if there was melee in the game.. It defies logic putting a fast brawling assault in the game if you can't use it to its full capacity.
Damn no Thug Assault Mech. I know its not a popular or powerful mech from the universe but when I started getting deeper into MW2 Mercs back when i was 10 it was my first Assault mech so it has a special place in my heart. (that and since PPC's had no max range in that game I discovered how much I loved PPCs :D )
i played many mech warrior games exept for mechwarrior online, and there are some changes on the mech lab that make no sense, for example in mech warrior 4 a large energy weapon like a ppc takes 3 slots, so that means that you can take it out and have space for a medium energy weapon plus a 1 small energy weapon or 3 small energy weapons. A large is 3 slots, medium is 2 slots and small is one slot. But in this game if you remove a large energy weapon like a PPC and place a small laser in its place you have no more space to add more in that same slot. That severily limits the number of configurations you can create on your own
I agree, the Annihilator is a very good mech, unfortunately as slow as continental drift (and just as unstoppable) Currently I ride a Stalker 3H (ROCKETS!!!!111), occasionally also the Nightstar.
Hey TTB, can you cover these topics on your next videos? - Missile weapons, Narc, Tag and differencies beetween normal launchers and artemis. - Hotkeys, basically I want to know what a mech can do in this game compared to MWO. Are there controls for device like ECM and MASC? (I hope PGI have include them as lost tech but it's difficult if there are no control keys..) hotkeys for missile bays for mech like the Archer, heat and night vision, toggle AMS, discard ammo, UAV, Flush coolant, and so on..
Well, it's 3015. The Clans didn't invade until 3053, so... Forbarring a time skip or just a blatant violation of the canon, there shouldn't EVER be a Mad Cat in MWO5.
I'm going to keep my eye out for a Night Star, I like the dual gauss but I hate having them in the torso they explode when destroyed, good way to kill your pilot
@@THEGRUMPTRUCK that explains a lot. I’m actually stoked to use some of these IS mechs that I’ve never used in other games. The King Crab comes to mind specifically.
I remember the annihilator It was the first mech i bought on MWO. I stopped using it cause i couldn't stand the difference from the position of the guns and the view point.
I'm real late to the game here but I currently use a Marauder as my main mech and would love to upgrade to a Nightstar, can anyone recommend where to search for it?
DId I see correct that there are zero assault mechs with 3 Large Ballistic weapons? I want to build a Triple Gauss Assault Mech. Please if anybody knows tell me.
Just curious if anyone knows, how far into the game do you get access to the heavy and assault mechs? Does anyone know a good star system to find the heavier mechs?
Played the old mech warriors but have been out of touch with the franchise, love the videos! What's the difference between the LB auto cannons and the normal ones? Would LOVE a weapons breakdown video for us noobs out here. Keep up the great work!
@@TTBprime I saw the one where you demo'd everything, but it doesnt go into any stats or specs. youve fire the pulse lasers but theres nothing about how their different from normal lasers, etc. Is there a more technical video on the weapons too?

There's melee now....still a shit mech lol
This is excellent, just starting mechwarrior totally for the first time and needed this introduction to the mechs. Great work!
Glad I could help!

To me they should bring anymech up to 3055.they should bring thug,they looked like zues

Annihilator love this Maschine, King Crab is a great Mech to bring the hell over the enemies. Mauler is on third place for me.
I'm guessing you don't have the Nightstar yet...

Ah finaly...no ghost heat no quirks and no extra Weaponslots...I feel at home already!!!
@@ohthreefiftyone no clan is the exact worst part of the game
like fucking watching a gundam anime without any gundams in it
Little known fact: The Victor DS comes with a hidden Nintendo.

I'll try!
@@TTBprime thank you dude, really appreciate!
The king crab and all the other assault mechs are extremely awesome
Are you telling me they are releasing a Mechwarrior game, without my MadCat?!
Yes.
If it's any cheer up: there's always a possibility for an expansion, or as it's called nowadays: some DLC.
They're also including mod support right away.
Madcat will be dlc for the clan wars im guessing.
Well, it's 3015. The Clans didn't invade until 3053, so... Forbarring a time skip or just a blatant violation of the canon, there shouldn't EVER be a Mad Cat in MWO5.

I love the STK-3F. 2 ER-PPCs, 2 lrm10 st and 4 medium lasers. Geart fire support mech for the AI as well. Just park it somewhere on high ground.
Battlemaster ftw!
No Clan Mechs, guess I need to wait for the first expansion.
Just wait for steam release in a year
@@robertharris6092 Nah, why would I? I want to support getting an MW game after all these years. Even if it is just a B title. ;-)
Not sure if there will be an expansion for Clan invasion. This one takes place about 40 years before the clan invasion starts.

No stupid ghost heat in MW5? YES!!! YEEES!!!
No minimum range on PPCs either.
The king crab reminds me of the ED-209 from Robocop. Probably because of the legs.
If you want to see a lemon wait till they introduce the Charger
5 small lasers. It's practically a free kill when i see one used in a mission.
Lol true.they only for fighting weak mechs
Issen‘t the Charger a Assault Mech as well? I just got the hero version and it seems to be a killer, so tanky 👍
7:51
*TTB*: 4 Medium Lasers
*Me*: But there's only 3...
EDIT:
12:16
*TTB says 6 Medium Lasers*
*I see 2 Large and 4 Medium*
Wut? X3
i got a fucking banshee early game....... Srysly with lvl 6 a banshee
Not even the bad one btw
My favorite is not in the game =(
the all mighty Fafnir
Has anyone seen the Awesome 9M in campaign mode? The other variants are all over the place but I can't get my hands on a 9M...
Where do you find the annihilator
DId I see correct that there are zero assault mechs with 3 Large Ballistic weapons? I want to build a Triple Gauss Assault Mech. Please if anybody knows tell me.
That's correct, though there are mods that will allow you to ignore hardpoint sizing.
TTB is there the option of turning heat and unlimited ammo on like there was in Mechwarrior 4 mercenaries?.
Unknown at this point
@@TTBprime thinks for the quick reply.
my fav is mad cat mr II
Really wondering why MRM’s arent in this
mrm is 3065 tech. this is fourth succession war 3039.
Just curious if anyone knows, how far into the game do you get access to the heavy and assault mechs? Does anyone know a good star system to find the heavier mechs?
Liao/Marik territory is where they show up consistently.
TTB thank you sir!
Also Steiner always has heavy and assault I got my stalker when I was at rep 6 .
No fafnir? :(
Will this game have mod support?
Yes
I like Atlas.
Played the old mech warriors but have been out of touch with the franchise, love the videos!
What's the difference between the LB auto cannons and the normal ones? Would LOVE a weapons breakdown video for us noobs out here. Keep up the great work!
That video is on the channel mate ;)
@@TTBprime I saw the one where you demo'd everything, but it doesnt go into any stats or specs. youve fire the pulse lasers but theres nothing about how their different from normal lasers, etc. Is there a more technical video on the weapons too?
Its basically a shotgun version of a autocannon.
@@gianturtlecow1455 pulse lasers have lower range but higher damage over a shorter duration than normal lasers.
#TeamAssault
I came here to see the mechs. Disappointing
