Agree with cattra on the raven alts - the C is an absolute workhorse (for a scout mech) and the raven E is my usual starter. Its actually got really nice damage output if you can time your mrm's properly

And provided you always stay with team mates lol.


At the moment though (admittedly early in my mwll career) I absolutely love the raven C.

Right now I am starting to love NCat B. One of the few high-tear mid-close range mechs with 86 km/h. It can use MASC for a very long time, pulses give it a good 600 meters DPS. Just don't get too close to the enemy before shredding him apart. This thing loose hands easily in close combat.

I used to hate the Thor C, but I am beginning to really like it. Its not the most powerful mech on the field, but it sure its versatile. Its like a Zeus with Jump Jets.

The C is a very nice mech. It can probably put more DPS down the range effectively then any other summoner variant save the A (and that one is more situation specific as well as being vulnerable to arming). One can also use the meta game surrounding the summoner rather effectively. Everyone will fire at your shovel arm. Always. Only on the C that is not all _that_ terrible.

/Merf - Generally prefers the slut-cat with the big boom-boom.

I prefer the Thor prime for its versatile weapon outfit.
LBX20 is always a win, CERPPC gives it the means to reach out and touch someone, and the LRMs can be used to reinforce missile barrages, or as extra punch in melee range (if you're not fighting Bushys or Pumas, damn you small mechs. Or tanks...)
Never arm once what you could arm twice.

My favorite mech is the Vulture A.  Getting it early on means that you have the perfect platform to leg fast starter mechs with ease.  From Mid to late game I usually stick with ol' reliable Warhammer prime.  It has the perfect mix of medium and close range weaponry with a lot of armor as well as GECM to top it off.  If I'm getting filthy rich, I'll get the Mad Cat Prime for it also has the perfect mix of weaponry for all ranges and is arguably the most iconic mech in the mw universe.

EDIT: Favorite weapon is the SRM (read: non-streak).   I love seeing missiles exploding, and its very fun to use as well.

Tanks. some times i end up gritting my teeth and muttering to my self when i need to buy a mech at the start of a match (Marshes :() or when i need to drive back in my damaged vehical and it can be painfully slow if its not a oro.
If i must take a mech its the catapult. I love those ELRM 15s on that thing. Or the A varient with PPCs and Med. lasers.

Fav weapons would of course be large lasers, arrows.. but i am torn between the RAC5s of the demo and the ACs of the demo/oro along with the LBXs that those tanks mount, those are more situational but its almost always RAC5s > Acs/LBXs i love the noise and they hurt a lot once you get your aim right. If im caught in a mech its ppcs and missiles all the way. I love the noise they make when they hit things.
