[FEEDBACK] Loup De Guerre Hero 'Mech Arrives on the Battlefield!

I will buy this Hero, simply because of the awesome Skin-Artwork and btw it's in MY three prefered Skin-Colors!!! Wow!

 

With the SRM tweaks, I've noticed I've been getting hit HARD by them. I would probably load this like a jumping kintaro SRM boat. Should be very formidable!

However, by inspection, I don't see any advantages over the 2D2 for the "light-hunter" 4xSSRM2 build.
- Arm mounted streaks are pointless for streaks because target lock occurs on the arm reticle anyway. Plus, they can be knocked off
- Missile tubes mounted lower means decreased ability to shoot overt short obstacles and hills
- 5 less tons probably means its probably confined to 2xMLas build instead of 2xLLas

 

It really is still... You can run the same build that I posted, same speed, same weapons, but there is more armor on the SHD...

Blagg made a build that runs ~10kph faster than the SHD, but again less armor and 1 ton less ammo and slightly less heat efficient.

 

I've nothing for or against this particular hero mech but I want to call it the Coup de Grace.

 

Can't compete with the epic Shadow Hawk. But if you want Quad Streaks in a 50tonner... well, there is no Alternative atm.

 

It takes an XL280 to acheive similar speed to a SHD with an XL300, which unfortunately gives 3 less tons to work with.
Most likely the Trebuchet will be less heat efficient.

 

Pardon if I am off-topic, but did ANYONE notice that @ 35 seconds, the Loup takes down... get this... a MAULER??!?!? Note the shark fin on the head and arms that don't match any other chassis.

Just saying...

EDIT* Or am I just seeing things?

 

I believe that is a Protector, ON1-P.

Anyways, maybe this could make for a mildly decent missile boat. It's got 20 tubes all over.

 

Also, they did a damn good job with the video. I'm PUMPED!

 

I've never owned a Trebuchet before and don't intend to start now but the video was amazing.

 

Meh. I love my TBT-7M, but, that's the last Trench Bucket I'll ever Master. There is no reason NOT to run a SHD over this...

 

The videos are actually done by a player that was hired by PGI

Go figure that their own team couldn't handle it.

 

My feel on this. Yes this is like a smaller 2D2 without the Ballistics. IT generally have the same speed with a slightly smaller engine, but it does have a smaller profile, which can be useful.

I notice that if you use SRM4 build then the arm mounted tubes are more useful.

Yes, on average I would still go for a 2D2. although this one can do 4x SRM6.

 

It's The Wolf of War Street.
