#Battletech #Dasher #FireMoth
I remember using this little guy in Mechwarrior 2 and having to use it in trials to fight assault mechs.
:-) Like a light weight boxer in the heavy weights lol you hit them a lot for zero effect they hit you once and your down :-(
Basically Little Mac v Everyone but Glass Joe.
My favorite trick in alpha strike is to roll my tape measure out to 12" basically a normal move rate for a quicker mech and then extend it out to 26" for the Fire Moth. The reactions are priceless
I thought you were exaggerating, and then I looked at the MUL.
@@tanith117 It's the nerdy equivalent of a party trick, proxy it at your next game.
Honestly, you'd think more mechs would have arms would have arms like these. Maybe not the majority (as having human like movement probably makes the neurohelment not need to work as hard), but it's like with a bullpup, getting more barrel length without a longer rifle. Only here it's a higher firing position without making the mech taller. Thouch of course feet mounted small lasers, flamers, and machine guns with gimballing would be effective placement placement for anti-infantry/anti-vehicle operations.
I think they tend to be arm/lower torsos mounted so they are can be use vs all targets and are less vulnerable to infantry attack
@@certanmike Generally, yes that would probably be better, but I feel like there'd be at least a few others using a configuration like the Dasher/Fire Moth.
I always Invision the pilots wearing leathers with chains and spikes. And the controls would be a pair of ape hanger handlebars from a Harley, so they can get the correct posture for their nurohelmet.
This is the first clan mech I read about when i bought TRO 3050 back in the mid 90s. Its also the first mech I used in the Mechwarrior 2 PS1 game not long after. Great little machine.
I love the Fire Moth and use it frequently. There's nothing like watching the opposing player be frustrated by a +4 on your mech making it near impossible for them to hit.
It’s all fun and games till you walk through a hidden minefield.
We used the FLE-14 Flea to similar effect in a game. The speed was making everyone crazy. +4 is nasty.
Try the scarabus it's 10/15 and has more armour....poor dasher loses something with a single medium laser lucky hit :-)
mechs that jump 7 are equally magical. Most of em(the ones with no Improved JJs) also move 11, which also gives that +4 as well :)
I had no idea how versatile and dangerous this little guy was. Thanks for this;)
Its the little guys!
Awesome little mech. I have used them in Clan Snow Raven many times. It quickly became one of my favorites among the clan light mechs.
I remember this mech was banned in official games of the WotC version.
Apparently it could be deployed and immediately start attacking the opposing player’s stockpile within the very first turn, at the very start of the game. Far too quickly.
I played the TCG back in the day, basically Dasher D + Elite Mechwarrior was very difficult to stop land destruction since the standard Support cards(think Lands in Magic) had 7 health(well 4Armor/3Structure), and the Dasher D with an Elite Mechwarrior did 7 Damage with overheat and could only be blocked with a Fast mech.
Both received the ban hammer.
I really appreciated this little guy in Mech4 mercenaries. There's that one mission where you're all alone and have to enter a base, scan a bunch of buildings, and then destroy them. I don't care if you have an atlas, you're not winning that fight alone. So I went in with a Dasher armed with 4 small or medium heavy lasers, I forget the size. Blasted the buildings in no time and then zoomed the hell out of there.
This Mech is more than just cute, it's truly "Dashing".
I am grateful to GDN for this fast video. He just dashed though it, without dropping the ball. Well done!
Thank you.
I want to thank you for your vids, GDM. Great source of references for a guy learning how to draw mechs.
Good to be of use.
@@GrimDarkNarrator You ever want a free mech pic or two, you know where to find me.
I like to use the prime and run up drop a point of battle armor then try to run behind the enemy they need to turn to face me or give me back armor all the time the rest of the force marches up with ERPPCs and GR
@GrimDark Narrator My introduction to BattleTech was through PC Gamer magazine's February 1997 demo CD which included a simplified version of a mission from MechWarrior 2. I played the hell out of that demo, again and again. I'd seen ads for Battletech before but I have never gotten into or had the opportunity to be introduced to playing it; unlike the likes of D&D.
Nonetheless, I greatly enjoy this series of yours, as well. A few months ago, I watched your entire Battletech playlist through, beginning to end, plus every video since.
As you reiterated in your intro video, it's been described as "the future of the '80s", and I love it. It's typically yet another example of being a 20th-century pop culture IP-franchise that remains much more interesting, and FUN, than all too many attempts of late.
You always make excellently-fitting choices as background music for each ongoing series and subseries that you've made, GDN, and of course BattleTech's no exception. Quite a knack. You've lead me to checking out and appreciating Mr. Kishan Sheth's work.
Thank you again for more extensively interesting lore coverage.
Thanks for sharing your story!
the favorite mech for those of us who enjoy being an annoyance with a masc and a clan er-large laser
Fire Moth H has done me proud in many a game. It's heavy large Lasers make short of rear armour and the opponents moral. 😂
Literally the first time I ever used the mech I rolled a 2 on the Masc check locking the mech in place. It can be a terror though if that Masc doesn't halt the mech.
I the great and unbeatable wisdom of the orks... more dakka more fun...
Ah yes, the Clans engine with feet.
lol
The firemoth basically combines the speed of super light weight mechs like the locust with the firepower of a commando with its SRM batteries. Like the commando, a firemoth is a bad mech to have attacking your flanks, but is fast enough to dash into position to exploit them more readily than said commando.
What is this little beauty?
Never used one but 5 medium lasers on a light sounds great
Sounds OP if you ask me :D
This mech is given to failed Clan warriors who are expected not to survive their mission.
Just looking at it, I wonder how it'll punch mechs.
new Battletech content! woot!
Very Dashing.
I see what you did there.
Great 👌 Thank You 😉
You're welcome.
And here I was thinking hatchetman was the weirdest mech...
there are a lot more stranger looking mechs (like the war dog) but if you want funny in how they work look up the berserker think hundred-ton hatchet man that moves as fast if not faster as the hatchet man that also has has a flamethrower
@@certanmike I have a lot of mechs to learn about it seems. True happiness.
@@lamia197 they are almost at 4000 cannon mech builds so far dont think anyone knows them all
Try the kraken clan second line mech :-) ugly as kuff but carries 10 ac/2 ultra.
@@lukedudley5030 I have one fun as hell to pepper with
I kind of wonder if the grim dark narrator would ever do with top 10 favorite battletech mechs?
It's a good idea. Never actually thought about it, but I'll consider trying some day.
Hello Grim
Overall a good video. Well presented and informative. But, I noted one mis-speak on your part... There is no such thing as Triple Strength Myomer Armor.
Other than that one tiny mistake, this was another sterling video.
Maybe it was a mistake in the article. Thanks.
@@GrimDarkNarrator : Oh, I just remembered... The Fire Moth is a Mech that is seen often in Mechcommander and Mechcommander II computer games. Although it is easily dealt with when you have Mechs with LRMs, before that though you end up sometimes surrounded by Fire Moths that are heating your Mech to Shut Down. Unlike Rogue Tech, or even the HBS Battletech, you are stuck with the 'basic' version of your Mech and you are not allowed to modify them. This limit presents a whole other kind of difficulty to the game and your choices of Mechs to field for the Missions.
Dasher2 is the new Charger
a favored light of my wifes clan, Ghost Bear
Good pick.
Please tell me that art means that it is coming to MWO!!! That would be all it takes for me to get back into the game. Best Light EVER!!
