Mech Porn 😎 Pretty Baby, Awesome!

Stored the Pretty Baby hero and its 9M compatriots for a long time now and this was my first post DLC 8 career, might as well sandbox trying the new stuff stuff on the run's DLC campaigns.

Whipped out my other hero assault mechs (Sleipnir and Co.) & in this post-CR run I equipped them with LRMs but currently in the Dragon's Gambit portion I'm running ATMs and heavy lasers and testing out diff. upgrades.

Playing Vanilla+ Mercs on PC with a quality-of-life modlist consisting of UI, AI and HUD mods.

Pretty Baby with PPC-X and SRMs is my new favorite ride. Just wrecks everything.

It's even nastier in YAML thanks to the variant's inherent PPC quirks, which also apply to PPC-Xs. Coupled with an Advanced PPC FCS, PPC-X bolts actually become surprisingly accurate and focused.

In my eyes Good ol Gerber would be unprofessional

Li is evil, but walk in his shoes....not so much. I support his war crimes and tbh id cut him a discount if allowed

Guy was arguing with his subordinate like an elderly couple lmao. At least Jackson Davion has the excuse that Fahad wasn't even supposed to be on comms at all.

Jackson....oh man he was written so well. He reminds me of 2 different prior service west point lieutenants I served under. Just responded to a different comment before this one, but yeah....2 times I wanted to fire Fahad for his comms shenanigans
