@@DaMasterPilot A Mobile Suit is far more nimble, and can sustain flight. No true Mech can do that, but the Jade Phoenix seems to come close. All Mobile Suits are Assault weight class or heavier, at least in the UC, so there's another reason I said it was as close to a zaku as we'll get.

The Omni pod or Omni slot is a mech weapon hard point that is designed for mounting any mech based weapon system of appropriate size or smaller (a 3 slot size weapon can fit in a 3 or a 4 Omni slot but cannot fit in a 2, no matter how much grease, force and bad language you use, it just won't happen), correct? In other words, if your mech has ballistic, missile and energy slots, the corresponding weapon system has to be mounted in it's designated slot i.e. LB__X/AC/ultra AC/gauss/machine guns must be fitted into the ballistic slots and SRM/MRM/ATM/LRM missile racks must go in the missile slots and small/medium/large {heavy/standard/ER} lasers/PPC/plasma weapons go in the energy slots but an Omni slot can mount any mech weapon system regardless of it's classification. So my question is: if a mech has Omni slots, why have standard mech variants? Such as the Timberwolf A, B, C etc. variants. I know the Timberwolf has fixed weapon slots (like it's "mouse ears" missile racks) but it also has it's Omni pods in it's arms (I forgot what the slots on the left and right torso below the cockpit are). They were literally designed to accept any mech weapon system (provided the slot is large enough). There shouldn't be any typical variants beyond the normal hard points (variant A swaps the LRM 15's for SRM 6's...the rest of it is your clanner atypical "if they have it in stock and it fits...." grabbag of -your guess is as good as anybody else's- Every Omni mech should have the load out it left the factory floor with, then one variant after that. Timberwolf stock load out is ______. Variants a comes equipped with ????? As the years passed, the clanners decided to throw a monkey wrench in the variant a load out so after 3067 expect to see (consult your tarot cards or magic 8 ball for a more precise list of weapons you should expect to see on that heavy). Clan mech driver: "Today I feel like harassing those inner sphere free birthers with nothing but advanced tactical missiles." Mech mechanic: "Sir? We're out of ATM's and don't know when our next supply drop is." Clan mech driver: "Today I feel like peppering the free birthers with lot's of hot lead per shot. Load my mech with as many LB X auto cannons that it'll carry. Calibur doesn't matter, I'll be engaging the enemy from a thousand meters all the way up to where I'll be standing on their mech's foot actuators...we still have LB X cannons and ammo, right?" Mech mechanic: "Yes sir. One LB 20 X and one LB 5 X." Clan mech driver: "Okay then, just go to the drop ship, gather as many bang-bang's and boom-boom's and danger/death lights, bring it all here and SURPRISE ME!Can you handle that?"

Such a cool mech...ill take uhhhhh one config E please cause plasma rifles are cool

[@CRAZYUNCLE117]

I look at this mech as style of substance. The green gulls may have made a mech that is mobile, and can seem imposing as it uses its impressive jumping ability, but each of the designs are far to specialized. Just like all other specialized mechs, all you have to do is recognize the loadout. Once you do that, it will be easy to clip their wings. When you make a mech to look imposing, you forget that it has to back up the look with devastating force to remain imposing. Like the atlas did.

[@Tallus_ap_Mordren]

Don’t really agree. Running this mech is pretty simple. Jump pretty much all the time, stay out of minimum range. The prime is pretty general purpose. Clan ERPPCs have no minimum range, so they are just as effective up close as at long range. Punch big holes, search for crits with the HAG. HAG has a minimum range of 2, but the jump jets should ensure it’s never firing within minimum range. Alt-A is a short range powerhouse, but with a jump range of 7, it will close pretty quick. Alt-B is nasty at long range with twin gauss rifles, and even nastier up close with the improved heavy large and medium lasers. Again, jump jets ensure that it should never end up staying inside minimum range. Alt-C wants to close to Talon range, but can keep up fire all the way in with it’s ATMs. You have to be pretty mobile to try and kite it. Alt-D is sniper, so I guess you could try and stay out of LOS with LRMs. But again, only the gauss rifle has a min range, so getting close isn’t a great option. Alt-E warcrimes model is short range, but it has the supercharger and jump jets to get there, so… I’d honestly take any of these against an Atlas (of any vintage), and give a good chance of killing it with a decent pilot. The Atlas has similar or worse throw weight, worse mobility, but better armor. The Atlas will also have much harder time hitting any of the jumping variants.

I love this machine though, as well as the Hierofalcon and the Ion Sparrow(Butcherbird), and since it says in Redemption Rites that the Dragoons took the best salvage from Terra, Pg54: "Weapons, armor....all the secrets the Wolves, the Jade Falcons, and the cooling corpse of the Republic possessed...."

Okay so one of the newest mechs this time. I cannot take the Jade Phoenix seriously. Its rather lightly armed for an assault mech especially a Clan one, but also that its a copy of a copy. First there was the Turkina a 95ton assault mech for Clan Jade Falcon. It was quite good as jump equipped assault omnimech. Second there was the Shrike 95ton assault battlemech. That one added wings, talons, and a claw but its not an omnimech to fit the regression of the early Dark Age. It has less firepower but more speed and mobility. The Jade Phoenix seems to be a combination of those two. It has dual gun-arms rather than the claw the Shrike had, but its faster than the Turkina. Its basically a what-if you took the Shrike, traded out the ER Large Lasers for ER PPCs, replaced the Ultra-autocannons with a Hyper Assault Gauss Rifle, and totally removed the long range missiles. It overheats even with the partial wings.

[@Timberjac]

Those short and useless arms for physical combat I do not like at all, it is as if the designer believes that the mech will never be at the distance of another wanting to shake him and he has to dirty the actuators with that type of fight. At least in this mech, it does seem less likely to be caught in one of them, but it still seems to me an oversight on the part of the design team (there are worse ones, of course).
