Any mods that add Mackie?

[Blazin Hazen]

I’d love to play in the original battlemech.
Are there any mods that add the Mackie to the game?
Cheers!

Clan Invasion mod had one but that mod's a total mess IMO.

That is a different game, dude.

Yeah, for a completely different game. Wtf are you talking about? We're on MW5:Mercs game forum - not HBS's BattleTech game, and the OP is probably asking about a mod for THIS game and not some other one.

Yet Another Gah Dang Mech. But honestly that mod is jank as hell and not polished compared to other Yet Another Mods. Half the mechs it adds are missing paperdolls, for instance. It's quantity over quality.

Is that the only mod it’s included in?

Allegedly, MerchTech and Piratetech have Mackie, though the former is a total-converstion type of mod (lots of changes) and the latter just has tons of dubious junk included as well. Clan Invasion mod has some Mackie variants, as has already been mentioned, but the mod is reportedly messy.

All three are messy, and you're better off using the YAML family of mods

I use BOTH clan invasion and YAGDM. At the same time.

Mackie from invasion is a sort of low poly with thin waist, has a Stitch figurine in the cockpit, reflex sight like WW2 fighter planes and an actual clock. There is a super insane PPC variant, it cranks the game to 11 if you manage to stick an LNPPC in it. Like hunting foxes with a cannon.

Mackie from YAGDM has a weird angular torso and looks like its wearing an ERA vest, I have no idea how inside of the cockpit looks though.

They have a weird load order conflict if you use both mods, with unit cards overlapping and getting messed up loadouts as a result, so I recommend using only one at the same time, OR getting the mech delivery mod on top of the two and actually buing a variant thats not messed up.

Luckily Mackie is rare enough that the aforementioned loadout issue is not really messing up the game to any meaningful degree.

Why tf would you use Clan invasion in this day and age? It's always been a janky, low effort mess. Yet Another Clan Mech, Legendary Mech, and The Known Universe do what it does, and better in every conceivable way.

Why tf not? Its my game, not your.

Original question was about Mackie, and it so happens that I have direct access to two different takes on it.
More information is always better than less or no info at all.

The issues that Clan Invasion has stems from the lack of manpower, not lack of effort. It's a one man band right now, and his work has had him busy as anything for months now. You could always learn to mod and make mechs and lend him a hand.
