The Quickdraw shouldn't get too smug either, it was just barely beat out by how bad the hardpoints are on this thing and how bad the free tonnage is. Clost second is the Centurion, with heavy-like durability, ballistics, missile, and energy slots, and even some room for JJs too, and basically a tie between the rest mentioned. Could maybe use MGs too the boost the crit and headshot rolling up even more. The stock version is pretty "Eh" but I stipped out and gave it a ton of armor, JJs, 4 MLasers, 2 SRM4/6s, and depending on that missile layout, some SLasers for even more close range brutality. I think I'll have to give it to the Griffin 1-S though, with it's great mobility, Jump Jet availability, Missile and Energy Hardpoints, and armor, you can turn it into whatever you want. Griffins, Kintaros, Hunchbacks, Centurions, they're all great in their own ways. I was particularly dissapointed by this since I always thought it looked cool and maybe there was a way to make it work but there's just no tonnage and what limited "scouting" (tonnage wasting) it can do is done better by most other mediums and all of the lights. To top it all off, the hardpoints are rather bad, the Ballistics in particular. And by lights too, come to think of it, given how little armor it has and how even the Locust can mount more firepower. You can strip off all of its armor for a single damage dealing gun, or max out its armor and get a few MGs or SLasers as compensation, putting it in range to be brutally destroyed by every other 'Mech in its weight class. It basically hits like a Medium on the higher end of the weight spectrum and is useful for a long time. Armor, Jump Jets, Firepower, Speed, and a massive potential to shutdown and roast enemy 'Mechs alive. Might be good if we had bigger lances and could sit in the distraction role, but as it is that's just wasted tonnage. This thing is made of paper and has less armament than a Locust. ![]() What are your favorite 'Mechs per weight class? What are your least favorite? Did you spend forever trying to get one kind of chassis only to find it to be the most lackluster thing ever? Get the best 'Mech in class by a total fluke and now go nowhere without it? Post it! And feel free to explain why too.
