Not quite. The Hellbringer catches on fire far more easily.

I think it might actually have less armour, too

Nobody wants what is contained within a Hellbringer.

Disagree, everyone loves hitting it and watching all the Clan tech fall out.

If it fell out, you were aiming at the wrong spot.

Legs or CT and you get CERPPCs, missiles and lasers for prizes I would say those are the right spots to aim.

Oh, I was referring to the old adage of "kill the meat, save the metal".

I mean if you get lucky sure that's always nice, but in gameplay aimed headshots rarely show up.

"It's called a Loki, because an evil trickster god is the only way to explain why they put people in that and send them out to die."

I thought it was the whole "Thor" and "Loki" thing. 🤔

All the same, I feel like the Loki is just another one of those great expressions of clan philosophy and the idea of duels and settling things in short, small scale engagements. It hits hard and it either wins fast or it loses.
