Wow, that's certainly an avatar... :stare:

As for the OpFor that PTN posted previously, the Kestrel Grenadiers don't gently caress around, do they? 3/2 pilots, better than most of the Clan pilots and bondsmen we've got, but not as good as the Death Commandos or the Star Captain, I guess. I guess that's what happens when PTN throws an elite regiment at GoonStarCompany. All those heavy weapons and jumpjets in that formation... This is going to be a very interesting mission... Sure, GoonStarCompany might be able to blitz through some of the lighter mechs, depending on how they're deployed, but this is probably going to degenerate into a ranged slugging match sooner rather than later.

Also, I noticed a mistake on the preliminary OpFor list, PTN. The last lance of Shadow Hawks are misdesignated as G9, G8, G7, and G8 rather than G9 - G12 as they should. You'll probably fix it when the mission update goes up, but I just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

*sigh* I can always try smashing together whatever PTNs avatar was and pony, in a non horrifying manner. And some non-pony that I have ideas for... why can't this poo poo happen on weekends.

To the ERG- G1 Pinkie in the last episode was just weird in an amusing way. Flutterphant there is plain disturbing. Also, Lunar Guard are superior. :colbert:

The Panther has this unfortunate tendency to get murdered by everything. It's a suicide sled. The fact that the DC uses so many of them is because Kurita fields a giant military even though they are loving POORS and so they need the cheapest machine they can get.

Isn't the Panther rather good against slow, short ranged mechs though? I mean, the Hunchback and Urbie immediately come to mind, if they were engaged outside their home environs, seems to me like the Panther could out-range and outmaneuver them fairly well. Certainly not what I'd call the WORST light mech. The main disadvantage from what I can tell is that few if any modern variants use an XL engine; they'll upgrade to DHS, upgrade its weapons, but never upgrade the engine, which is what keeps it from really having a shot. And really, when you're as light as 35 tons, taking an XL engine doesn't tend to shorten your lifespan all that much in the post-clan/Jihad/Civil War era.
