A little bit of lore on the Hunchback IIC: The Hunchback IIC is essentially a death sentence. If you were a Clan MechWarrior assigned to a Hunchback IIC, you were not expected to survive your next battle. It had low amounts of ammunition and the backup lasers were not that useful, and it was used as a training mech for Clan Jade Falcon. However, a Star (5) of Clan Smoke Jaguar MechWarriors were despised because they were outspoken against the Crusader-leaning Smoke Jaguars, they felt that the Clans should protect the Inner Sphere rather than reestablish the Star League, and so the Jaguars sent this Star as a Garrison of the planet Circe, assigning them all to Hunchback IICs. This "Star of Rage", as they were later known, fell in battle against the thirty Clan OmniMechs bid in the battle by Jade Falcon, but they destroyed the better part of the two Trinaries before they were killed, using their Hunchback IICs. That's why the Deathwish has the Smoke Jaguar pattern in its default paint job. Because it was based on them.

Yeah. The original H2C is basically a "die well" machine, given a serious lack of ammo, armor, and even heat capacity. It's designed to basically live just long enough to empty it's ammo bays, with the lasers meaning you can go to Valhalla still armed to the bitter end. This made it perfect for Clan pilots at Trials simply because if it hit something, it probably killed it- guaranteeing they passed.

Hey Baradul. I wanted to let you know, I've been following you for awhile without having played MWO (I got into the beta originally, but had been hoping for MW5). I really enjoy your content and you've recently inspired me to pick up the keys. So I logged in, bought a hunchback IIC, and have been tearing ass across the game. Thank you for showing me this build, I think it's going to carry me until I get enough c-bills to expand my roster. Thanks for being inspiring!

Arm lock actually slows your torso rotation down a bit too, so like Baradul said- it can throw off your aim. It's really better if you're firing arm and torso guns together, but not if it's torso mounts alone.

so only played a bit of mwo but been wondering what are the main advantages of the IIC variants compared to their normal counterparts? and vise-versa? cause looking at the mech store it seems like the IIC don't have chassis bonus like the normal variants do.
@clefsan
5 жыл бұрын
I have only played very little of the game myself, so I might be wrong, but I believe all of the IIC-mechs are clan mechs, so they use clan weapon tech, whereas the regular versions are inner sphere mechs, so they can only use IS tech. regarding that chassis bonus thing (mech quirks, I think you mean); I've read somewhere that those were put on the inner sphere mechs for balancing reasons versus the clan mechs, so IIC-mechs being clan mechs wouldn't get quirks then
@neerGdyahS
5 жыл бұрын
Th. K. is essentially right. While both sides do generally have quirks, IS mechs have stronger/more quirks, while Clans have lighter/better gear and superior upgrades. The Hunchback IIC (2 Clan) in particular can carry a lot of firepower for its weight class mounted in high hardpoints, can be delicately finetuned since it's not an omnimech and it doesn't rely on quirks very much, meaning pretty much anything they can take will still be good. A regular hunchback would be more in the line of one UAC20 that has shorter range (but less jam chance?) smaller ACs or 1 Gauss rifle, but I'm pretty sure they can take more of a beating. I don't know Hunchback quirks well.

Far too slow, fragile, and short range to be a threat unless you let it get close. This will be nothing more than a case where observant players will start focusing HBK-IICs right from the start just like with Heavy gauss carriers.

Jesus Bara, again... lower the leg armor, no one goes for legs on Hunchbacks. Increase your arm armor. Arms are relatively big on the Hunchie IIC so they'll provide decent enough cover for your torsos when shot from the side. You can easily strip 20 from each leg and add it to the arms. Hell, I run my Assaults with 40-50 leg armor and they never get legged unless someone is specially going for everyone's leg.

I think PGI should really ramp up the penalty for team damage. The current penalty isn't a deterrent as much as an annoyance. They need to make high enough to lose the majority, if not your entire earnings for the match. Maybe, even fine more than winnings. So, if you keep doing team damage/kills, you will start losing c-bills per match.
@clefsan
5 жыл бұрын
the problem I see with that is that in many situations the damage happening is not the fault of the shooting mech (how many times have you seen cases of a mech walking through the line of fire of a mech that is already actively engaged in combat?), so in those cases you would be punishing the innocent party. however, while I'm assuming teamkills are usually not done on purpose, I would be fine with higher penalties for that
@bangalorewolf5952
5 жыл бұрын
People are careless about it because the penalties are so low. So, everyone just gets in each other's way. I kNOW it's just a game. But, this stuff doesn't go over well in the military. And, people have lackadaisical attitude, because it's JUST A GAME. But, I wouldn't trust 99% of the players with real guns. It really doesn't take much to be sure of your target before shooting. And, being aware of those around you. Situational awareness is a simple thing to learn.
@hamishmarshall7782

Bangalore Wolf Lol, nice false dichotomy comparing real guns to a game. But anyway. Most of the time team damage is because some random walks in front of you while you are shooting. How would you feel loosing all your c bills because someone else fucked up? And think of the trolls, you would end up with players intentionally walking in front of firing lines to cost other players c bills. Your solution would cause more problems.
