This ignores the primary strength of the AC/5 and/or primary weakness of the PPC: heat.

No, you just ignored the first half of my paragraph where I said that you can't buy the heatsinks for the difference in tons anymore.

[Kanil]

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make, then?

If you're saying these current stats bring the two weapons closer in balance than they are in TT, I really strongly disagree, or at least require some explanation as to what you're seeing that I'm missing.

If you're suggesting something else, I'm not understanding it.

[Rince Wind]

Yes, I'd say they are more balanced than in TT. About the same weight for the same damage with some pros and cons on both sides. Even if you need more heatsinks for the PPCs after the first one it is still not as bad as the TT AC/5 in my opinion.
Of course until we know the exact stats it is impossible to say.


Does anyone know if stability is the same for all mechs or if it is more difficult to make an assault fall?

Another stream by Paradox is planned for today. Tune in at 9am PDT (18:00 CET). You'll be able to watch it here. A Youtube version will be made available later.

Today, they'll take a look at the MechLab portion and building / outfitting your BattleMechs. Once again, should be spoiler-free.

The Youtube link to the MechLab stream can be found here.

There is another Paradox stream planned for today, starting at 16:00 CEST / 07:00 PDT. Tune in here.

Thanks for keeping us updated.



Though I don't watch the streams anymore because I want to discover the stuff for myself.

I think they have said that the streams are spoiler-free, though I have not yet watched them myself.

The Paradox ones are mostly spoiler free, focusing on mechanics. The Game Streamers are allowed to play the first part of the campaign, probably 7 or 8 hours of content give or take up until a certain story mission. So there's actually a good deal of content out there already. I've watched a bit of one, but will be stopping so I don't spoil too much of the game for myself.

That being said it's looking good so far.

[Rince Wind]

Yeah, I watched the 1st mission. And I want to discover the MechLab myself as well, even if there are no story spoilers.

[Hanzoku]

I’ve been avoiding steams myself, except for 10 seconds from one where the streamer had the pleasure of meeting an SRM Carrier... he’d obviously never had the pleasure in tabletop, and his expression when the missiles kept... on... coming was priceless.

There is a Q&A stream planned for today, starting at 18:00 CEST / 09:00 PDT. Tune in here.

[Mephansteras]

Just got my steam key. Ready for pre-load on Monday!

[Sensei]

Got my key too. Engage the hype drive!

[Rince Wind]

Got my gog key as well...and now I will be away from my computer for about two weeks. Damn!

I never played the source material, and didn't really dive into this thread too much. That said, my undying love for Chromehounds and mech combat convinced me to watch EnterElysium's videos. Theu in turn convinced me to get the game. I got off on release day by chance, so I know what I'll likely be spending my time doing.
