Title says it all. Some of the victors are very similar to the HM in possible weapons loud out, while being also much faster mechs. I faced enough HMs to know to fear a good pilot, but whats your take?
Heavy Metal is a great mech and 50% off are a great bargain. I paid full prize for it and I don't regret a single MC. It's that good. Although indeed comparable to the VTRs, those 10 tons difference are responsible why HM feels and plays like an Assault while the VTRs are playing more like a fat heavy mech. Loadouts might be comparable, but those 10 tons usually allow for a better cooling efficiency, more ammo and so on, the only tradeoffs being speed and weight of the JJs. Long story short: get it.
Depends on how much more money you want to give PGI for their epic 'working as intended' coding. I've already gotten myself an ilya and fb against my principles, so no HM for me
I have it. It's my most played mech by 100s of matches. It ranks right near the top in win / loss and KDR. I love it. I also don't run the meta builds most of the time in it.
