in terms of tons lost. the clanners pulled a win. downing 2 assaults, heavy and light at the cost of 2 heavies and a assault. but in terms of logistics and the greater war effort. the clans lost hands down. as for the IS. those loses can be replaced next week as there a ton of IS mechs with common replacement parts are somewhere in the galaxy, and pilots are a dim a dozen. the lost of clan mechs and trueborn mechwarriors. that's a 10 year replacement wait time for the pilot alone. Tukayyid wasn't just about beating the clans. it about mauling them so bad that their warmachine grinds to a halt and would take years to get started again.
What's funny is that Comstar didn't even *need* to win at Tukayyid. The defenders brought so much to the field that even if the clans managed to complete their objectives, they would have lost so many pilots and so much wargear in the process that their advance towards Terra would have been halted for a generation or two, and that's *if* they had all been remotely competent like Clan Wolf. And that's if their logistics and manufacturing capability was only a few systems away. Which they weren't; they were all the way back in Clan Space. The Clan Invasion was like Nazi Germany trying to invade Soviet Russia... if Germany's factories were on Mars.
It using logistic and terrain advancemdnt by using ambush, deception, and bidding the regiment by shifting from one battle theater to other. Comstar know well about the Clan tactics and strategy, Comstar war tactics and strategy were visionary, and they also bidding their Trump card, the Comguards with their hidden stack of Lostech from Hem Memory Core. The brilliant mindset of Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht. Only one clan he knew damn well the biggest threat: Clan Wolf

Ironic that machines that the clan's first kharns fought besides returned to kick the asses of the SLDF's descendants.
@@zombiehunter501 yup. Still, for IS it's good 15 years relieved, meanwhile for Clan, start the internal crac, end up on Wolf vs Falcon War of Refusal ,Ghost Bear hidden exodus, then Smoke Jaguar annihilation then Great Refusal on Strand Mechty
The I.S. 'Mech formation and strategy towards the end helped them even the odds and tip the balance to their favour. They shielded the Catapult which was probably armed with twin Arrow-IV launchers. By placing what looked to be a Zeus in the gap towards the rear between the Atlas and Mauler, the Clan 'Mechs had no choice but to engage the trio of assault 'Mechs that could soak up and dish out high amounts of damage long enough for the Atlas and Catapult to get into close range and deliver a knockout punch to the Timber Wolf's cockpit. Without the Mauler to shield it from the Kodiak, the Catapult and Atlas fired all their weapons repeatedly even at the risk of overheating at the remaining Clan 'Mech which could very likely kill the Catapult with one well-placed shot to the frontal cockpit. It seemed, however, that the Clan code of honour lured the Kodiak to trade fire with the Atlas instead, allowing the Catapult to deliver an Arrow-IV along with an AC/20 round from the Atlas to its center torso which had lost most of its armour by this point.
@@muneirovalibas6194 Perhaps, though if the Timberwolf and Kodiak focused fire on the Atlas at the start, instead of engaging the Zeus and Mauler, they might've taken out the Atlas, paving the way for them to finish off the other three I.S. 'Mechs.
The Clanners would have had a descent chance if the Mad Dog had retreated as soon as he smoked the Cat, and had he and the Timber Wolf played fire-suooort while letting the Kodiak take point.
@@horsemumbler1 It's almost as if the first two I.S. 'Mechs were intentionally placed out in front to lull the Smoke Jaguars into a false sense of superiority. The Mad Dog was probably in a killing frenzy after downing those two 'Mechs so easily, and thought itself invincible. Only to rush into a barrage of oncoming fire from the lance ahead of it, and quickly crumble into the dust in an embarrassing moment of dishonour in the eyes of its Clan.
@@finegamingconnoisseur Good point. That's just the sort of ruthless move Focht and the Com Guards would pull. To fall back after two such swift victories would of course be unthinkable to a Smoke Jag. He was probably the Star leader: The most speed and the least tonnage for minimum time between combats and maximal honor. Exactly the wrong kind of mech for that sort of pilot.
When you crunch the numbers (only mechs in this count, not aerospace and other vehicles, or infantry) the Clans were outnumbered 10 to 1. To destroy the ComGuards, every Clan warrior would need to score at least 10 kills. Every time a Clanner goes down, his remaining necessary kills need to be accounted for by his allies. Meanwhile the ComGuards just need to kill 1 Clanner per 10 losses. In that context this video is a complete success. 6 CG take down 4 Clanners (including the burning Mad Cat at the start), it may seem steep, but that's the "ruthless calculus of war" right there.
@@tplambert definitely a commando, too small and no gun arm. On top of that keep in mind that this cutscene was using mech models they had already created/ported for use in all the MW2 intros/cut scenes. Madcat/Timberwolf and Vulture/Maddog - MW2 31st century combat intro and campaign videos. Vulture/Maddog and Kodiak - MW2 Ghost Bears Legacy intro. Catapult, Zeus, Mauler, Atlas and Commando - MW2 Mercs intro and mission failed cutscenes.
Very interesting that this fight is against the Smoke Jaguars--Dinju Pass was their theater of operations--but they had a Kodiak on their side. The Kodiak is supposed to be a Ghost Bear Mech, so a Masakari or Daishi would have been much more appropriate for a Jag force.
The Kodiak was designed by Ghost Bear, but other Clans used them, Smoke Jag included. They still had at least two left in by the time of operation Bulldog.
According to Sarna, these models were used because that's all the animators had on hand. The Kodiak from the previous expansion, and the Mauler from the box art.
Could be reasonably explained as isorla from a previous Trial against Clan Ghost Bear, or a trade deal for something else. The real surprise would be Smoke Jaguar bringing a non-omnimech to the fighting on Tukayyid, as by 3052 those would be mostly relegated to 2nd-string and garrison forces.
I know this is a big request for people, but could we possible re-create this scene with MWO graphics and shit. I mean that'd be badass all the mechs that are in the video are in-game(Cept for Kodiak thats coming though).
This is why you don`t fight commstar they stopped the clan war machine alone and were ready to threw away 12 army of there own. All they had on there side was Number and Guts, guess what the mad bastard pull it off. (why i say mad well... 0:13 they knew the stake and went full kamikazi if it was necessary)

After more than 17 years, I never get tired of watching this clip.
Cheers for uploading my childhood years!

That low-angle shot of the Atlas at the end is the best part of the video.
The whole video is the best part of the video
I like how the Atlas trudges on through all that like “BISHHH YOU CALL THAT AN ALPHA STRIKE?”
I remember I died in the Battle of Luthien mission, my merc company was wiped out and then this mission cutscene played.
Basically realised I "lost" the game but the game ended pretty much. And i'm totally fine with it.
If that happens in my play through, I’ll pretend I’m right there with you as one of the guys that gets killed here.

And Clan Smoke Jaguar gets a real pasting!
The clanner in the vulture learned a hard lesson that day about overextending and overconfidence.
It's also a lesson to the LRM noobs in MechWarrior Online to not use LRMs expecting to win.
every time i watch this i cant help but cringe when i see that commando try his luck against that mad dog, gutsy sod xD
Is that a commando or a centurion?

And the Comguard come out to cut up what remains
all those long ranged weapons and they go straight to melee range

I think he might have tripped on the edge of some mountain geometry.
hate to be that guy but. that's actually a Mauler and it's a 90 tonner
Clan Cougar - We are unstoppable!
*Friends behind the mech* - Wait, why do we hear Inner Sphere boss music?
The Mad Dog's "dash" is a killer!😎
Clan: 0:05 For honour i shall defeat thy enemy alone
Commstar: 0:27 Enough playing around this is how we do war in the inner sphere.
I know this is a big request for people, but could we possible re-create this scene with MWO graphics and shit. I mean that'd be badass all the mechs that are in the video are in-game(Cept for Kodiak thats coming though).
i wish i could help you with that but i avoided the game like the plague
I want a game where THIS is the last level
Today is May 20th...
Happy Victory day!
half of the 400 views are me.

Well they had literally fresh armies fighting a pretty much battered Clan formations. And they were in the defensive so they had all the advantage.
If the Mad Dog stayed with his group they would have beaten the IS mechs by focus firing the Atlas and the Catapult.
...like the ending of Titanic. tragic, but also duh.
Sending a Mad Dog in recognition doesn't sound a great idea 😅
play a typical MWO pug game and this behavior is par for the course lol
Pay your hpg bills bucko
man, this used to look so cool when it first came out. Aged well, it has not.
Still epic though, sometimes the underlying score and theme can simply carry the video.
Are you kidding? It still looks fantastic.
I reckon it doesn't look too bad, especially for something released in 1995.
