Initially I didn't think much of the Avatar, but having played it a bit on tabletop I have to say I've come to love the thing. It's a fairly good fire support platform that can bring a unit of Battle Armor along to protect it from surprise Infantry drops. Sure, it's pretty slow, but considering it usually will be parked on a hill shooting anything it can see, that rarely has come into play for me.
Aah the Avatar, Player it alot in mw4 had 2Medium X Pulse Laser in the Center, a Light Gauss Rifle and Large Laser in the right Arm and a Rotary 5 Autocannon in the left Arm. My favorite for Pure-Tech Matches.Oh and ty for the Holovid.
The Avatar is effectively like putting an English description of the Archer into Google Translate for German, then putting the translation into Google Translate for Japanese, and finally building the result.
I had a game where I was in a Marauder II. The game in a highly congested map, I thought I have this, was over with 2 connecting shots. Those 2 fixed ML it my CT one with a roll of 1,1 then a crit roll of 6,6 3 gyro hits. My opponent got a marauder with salvage with 10 points of armour damage and needing a new gyro, no other damage.
Avatar is a pretty good one, it got a mixed tech J configuration with a pair of HAG/30’s in Record Sheets: 3145, New Tech New Upgrades but the LAW plant getting blown up in the Jihad would explain why the DCMS isn’t really fielding any OmniMechs outside of the Blakist-inspired Tenshi in the modern era
Avatar is decent, though its fragile due to the XL engine. Keep it a bit back, and use its LRM's. its also a decent battle armor carrier, so pair it with that for protection.
Outgun the vulture? I don’t know about that. An LBX 10 is good but the vulture packs double the missile capability CLAN at that. More over the backup weaponry has better hitting power given the double large pulse lasers. More over at ten tons lighter…..
I always wondered about the fixed mediums, and it's nice to see a writeup with a reasonable explanation for their existence and status.
And all the duct tape was used.

I see a video over the Avatar, I click, I am a simple man.

Always looked like a mad dog bottom with a Cataphract top, woulda benefitted from an srm pod over those fixed meds
MW3 fanboying aside, the Avatar is my go-to C3 Master mech. And with all that pod tonnage, it’s incredibly useful. 😍
Love the avatar
I still like the Avatar, then again that's part of my MW3 upbringing.
i hope this is followed up with the avatar (warship). the OG avatar
One day I will get back to the navy stuff.
