DFA= 8 damage. Still to risky though.

9 damage against green units :)

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

Yu Huang is good, but not cheesy. Its primary range is rather short and it lacks armour too.

IMHO, armies with agility pieces can handle it as long as there is adequate support. Btw, its attack values arent that amzing too.

He 's good for his cost...but far from cheesy or invincible.

I can't believe that with this thing's 10 attack and 22 defense people are saying it lacks in targeting and armour..

IC:You would say that RepublicDog.


OOC: Good point

The Yu Huang is the first assault mech that doesn't fear the land based tank drop, that 24" charge will take out any transports moving in for a shot. Throw in the Liao MHI AA gun and you've got the Garrot drops covered also. Then toss in some Liao Scout ATV for infiltration and arty neutralization, and you've got a pretty good start for a force.

I think its a great mech, but its not cheesy, it has potential though

Toss in Lio Infantry for quick and easy repair. Just keep your ATV's within 8" for the Fanantism (sp?) House Ability.

Given what I've seen of the mech all I can think is....

"HULK SMASH"

This thing would carve through a heck of a lot things :ermm:

The mech is god awful.

There are a bunch of people that will use it the way it should be used, as a carver of forces. Then there'll be the chargemonkeys.

I'm guessing about 20% of MW players will use him normally, the other 80% will charge with this thing like there's no tomorrow.

Does anyone know if it is an Elite unit?

It's a vet unit.

In comparison to all 'mechs? Yeah. In comparison to 'mechs in its point range? It does lack a little. That's the price it pays for having a damage value rivalled by only the most expensive assault 'mechs and a speed rivalled only by light 'mechs.

However, unlike Arnis, it benefits from a 14-inch range, so opponents can't simply walk out of its max range if it gets behind them. That should probably keep it from completely degenerating into big Arnis.

It doesn't have agility or evade so charging is not ALWAYS going to be the best move for Yu. Plus, 7 damage maybe a overkill for a lot of typical charge targets.

26" charge range for 7 damage. Incredible.

Not on a DFA
Ruthlessness only works for a ranged combat order that targets a single green unit.

Besides, Charging is for the weak.
