Battletech: Beowulf Mercenary Commanders Thoughts From The Inner Sphere Episode 380

[@ogrehaslayers605]

It's a good mech. The best thing about it is the joint work between Comstar and Rasalhague to make them. Im with you on MASC...and UAC's 😢

@ogrehaslayers605 Thanks, it has a purpose in the game depending on the version.

This has always been an "almost" mech for me. It's almost good, almost something I'd want to take, almost a good design. If the base model had anything other than an IS LPL (PPC, ERPPC, ERLL, etc) it would probably be something I'd outfit in a lot more forces. A combo of spotter and bodyguard.

@matthewmarek1467 I'm with you on dropping off the LPL for either a ERPPC or ERLL. I want something to reach out there when closing or running the flanks

I have used the Beowulf several times. Normally with a Viking. I have a lineup that uses the Beowulf, Viking, Tesson, and Exterminator. Using the I-NARC the TAG has a unique effect. It does well vs IS mechs. The large pulse laser and ER Medium Laser combo share similar ranges. As the mech has short-range weapons I tend to try to flank. Hard to pull off against clan players. I do use the MASC. The 7/11 is terrible when you’re having to change elevations. Would I rather have ECM? No, this mechs grounds movement would have the Active Probe be useful to spot mines. Rarely do I play against players that use mines. So, ECM would be nice to protect a C3i network. When you are looking for ECM. The C3i Nightshades round off the level II. I use the Beowulf as a scout or recon hunter killer. Regrets. Never played the mechs variants. Maybe one of these days. For the Viking there is little need over one ton of NARC ammo. The reset of the unit should have more specialized I-NARC ammo.

[@Helcarexe26]

@Magermh There's always something to tweak on the mech for improving towards our way of playing. Usually, we drop mines via artillery, and players know the location, so having a beagle probe isn't a huge advantage.
