Squadrons was amazing, and amazingly disorientating at the same time. Really awesome VR experience though. Up there with HL Alyx in terms of “unique to VR”

I would think a cockpit VR experience would be much superior to a FP one.
I've heard Elite: Dangerous is meant to be fantastic in VR. Although the latest expansion which adds a first-person shooter element doesn't support it (yet?).

Does whatever the current Mechwarrior game is support VR?
My first response is, I don't know. But I guess it depends on what you consider the current MechWarrior game. I know of MechWarrior online, which I don't believe does, but I suspect there's a newer MechWarrior game out, or coming soon. There's also a newer strategy BattleTech game which I doubt would benefit from VR.
Shamelessly replying to my own comment, there's MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. I don't see VR support mentioned.
Today I learned. Appreciate the comment and lookup. Nice to see them retool Mercenaries.

Battletech always seemed trapped in a 40k-esque lore vise of its own making, in such a deep focus on a specific slice of time that progressing the greater narrative forward seemed inconceivable.

But I guess that's tabletop-derived worlds and games in general.

I've just looked into this recently and the sad answer is no. It's a really fun game and perfect candidate for VR. Really a shame they couldn't make that happen.
