I wish they would expand and bring in some of the vehicles. Love to get in their with some fast hover tanks.

But I guess they still have a long list of mechs of the time period to put in first even if they aren't doing many of the unseen.

If you dont short hand your list, Im not reading it.
Example: Assault Intercessors- x5 -Thunder hammer and plasma pistol on sgt.
or Assault Terminators 3xTH/SS, 2xLCs

Tanks would only really work in CW or a new gamemode as AI opponents. Tanks are really to weak to be used by a player on the battlefield

Really?
Tanks in TT have reasonable armour, move as fast, and have a reasonable weapons loadout.

Those Hover Tanks are 35T and would have the equivalent of 30/16/16/10 base armour and move a base 130kph, carrying an AC20/UAC20 and 2T ammo.

The tank I'm working on atm is 65T, would have 80/78/78/52 base armour, go 65kph base, and mounts either an AC20, 4T ammo and a SL or a Gauss Rifle, 2T ammo, 1ML, 3MG and 1/2T ammo.
(and these are just the variants I'm actually making for now)

Both make great support vehicles, and can both take and give a hit.

Mixed arms is not a bad thing.

Playable vehicles wouldn't be a bad thing.
Even playable infantry wouldn't be terrible if done right. (Though generally, AI infantry would be sweet)

Aye.

And with 100T tanks like the Behemoth and co rolling around (often boasting 2+ AC20's, 4+ SRM6's, Lasers, Machine Guns and more) as well as Assault+ armour levels~

(That'll be one of my next things to do)

Mmm.... Long Toms...

There's a lack of good artillery play in games these days. Too much is pre-calculated for you, and the tiny little levels make anything bigger than a Mortar into nothing but glorified cannon.

Yeah agreed. All the maps in this game are far too small. There is little room for real lance tactics and recon work.

Most of the maps are larger than they seem. it's just that the lay outs, spawn locations, and objectives tend to be set up in ways to result in teams going to the same places everytime.

The biggest map in the game (barring CW) Alpine, is pretty much always a Candy Mountain fight, except for in Conquest where they put 4 of the 5 points on the same side of the map and three of them within 700-1000m of each other.

Even the new River City, which is easily twice the size of the old map, continues to be dominated by control of Citadel and Upper city.

It's not that the maps are small. The maps are poorly laid out and flow in awkward ways. The only one where there isn't 1 or 2 dominating pices of terrain is Mining Collective, which is a smaller map.

Honestly though, that's kinda how actual fights would happen. The world isn't laid out for 'good game flow'.

I wonder if part of the problem is maybe being too wish-washy about following how the terrain/maps would actually look like (how people build structures in relation to terrain) and trying for a little gameflow- One extreme gives you MOBA maps, the other gives you, I don't really know, but maybe good fun.

Yes, yes they are.

It's a little off atm, needs recalibrating again for prints this small, so it can do better.

My very own Mendelmax 3.

These were printed at .1mm in PLA.
6mm tabletop scale of course.

Will work on some more bits in the next few days, next month will be working on some mechs.

Those are some epic tanks, I am jealous!

Just got back into MWO after some months off (mainly because of the bad hitreg). Wow, things are a lot better now and I can finally fire more than one PPC a second and still have them all hit. I see the Deathball meta is still hard at work though.

Eh, I want full sized multi-mile maps. Forests you can actually hide in. Pursuit and recon lances that can actually do something besides walk around the one terrain feature and go "ok, they are coming around the left side this time."

Cat and mouse screening games with recon and fast units to try and stop the enemy from finding the main force. You know a real war type simulation with mechs.

Very nice tank... but really? You own a 3d Printer? That's both a pretty cool and entirely too expensive item IMHO. I'd just out source. Either you are pretty well off, or actually use it for a lot of things.

I can't just justify that kind of purchase. I'd rather pay that to get a custom PC.

Anyways, who up for Mauler Release date shenanigans? I'm looking for some people to play with then.

What? You can get a 3D printer for like 700 euros. They stopped being massively expensive a while ago.

I'm a CAD designer that uses the MM3 to create masters for casting (wh40k, battletch, generic - will be working on a not-bfg style game next year), custom parts for things (nerf, larp, re-enactors), as well as commissions and printer rental.

It's a business investment.
Getting this stuff outsourced would be very expensive - the equivalent of those 3 vehicles on shapeways for example, would cost me in the realm of £25-30.
One building would cost as much as the printer.

A good 3D printer is still expensive, and the MM3 is very good.
I personally wouldn't go in for a worse quality one.

For personal random use, getting something other than a cheapo 3-6" bed printer really wouldn't be worth it, and even then the output wouldn't be spectacular.

But if you want anything made, feel free to drop me a line, I charge fairly sensible prices as these things go. (Shapeways is a rip off...)

If you're looking for a super cheap one, though, I got a Micro3D from their kickstarter campaign for about $300 US. They're at around $500 retail, I think, but the kickstarter was so successful that they're still filling backer orders.

I wan't saying that 3d printers are expensive. But I looked up your model and google said it was like 1.5K

Close to 2k with the extra's, shipping, import tax, etc.
But, it's one of the best in the world, and does things printers twice the price can't.

Plus, those prints are without finishing work (bar removal of support material in a couple of places) on a printer thats gone off-calibration.

I can't wait to see how they come out once I get chance to recalibrate it again for 10 micron tolerances. (It's fine at 25micron as-is)

Yeah, with the amount of Dakka a DWF can throw down range it's both hard and easy to do well in some games. I'm a fan of the big ponderous mechs that move like giant hammers, the feeling when the team rallies behind your charge or sacrifice is something I've grown to enjoy seeing.
