✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh mech options for YAML players (Dragoon, Huron Warrior, Avatar)
- Community-tested with 145 endorsements
- Actively maintained — last updated September 2025
⚠️ Cons
- Only three mechs included so far — might leave you wanting more
- Requires YAML mod to function — not standalone
For MechWarrior 5 players who run YAML and want new mech variants to pilot. If you're looking for a big mech pack, this is a small taste — but if you're a fan of LtShade's designs, it's a must-have. Skip if you don't use YAML.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure YAML is installed and updated before adding this mod.
- Check the mod's load order — place it after YAML in your mod manager.
- If you're using other YAML add-ons, verify compatibility on the mod page.
