I highly recommend using a lower engine (225/255) and putting on some armor. You'll still be the fastest AC20 out there, but actually have a chance to survive a hit.

Also, Dual AC/20 Cicada thread. Yeah. That's a thing that exists, apparently.

My fav AC20 mech at 80+ tons is the Victor 9S. I love the victors in general and while the PPC + AC20 combo has been nerfed, you can still use it quite well or use a more traditional loadout with SRMs, MLs and the 20.
I used to run this loadout.

It's only slightly more doable in a Cicada, and again the mech sacrifices a lot to fit the big one.
There is a Champion Blackjack, I think, that runs AC/20. Not a bad idea, as that's basically a lighter fire support mech. With the 235 XL engine, it's not exactly SLOW.
But the 50-ton mark seems to be where the AC/20 starts to become reasonable. One HBK variant comes stock with an AC/20, and two more can fit it. Yen Lo Wang used to be a vicious mech with the big one. Going up another step to 55 tons, you've got some more options in the Shadow Hawks. AC/20 2xML with JJs and decent armor? It can be done without sacrificing too much speed.
The FASTEST? Not sure. If you're willing to strip a BUNCH of armor, then probably YLW or a Shadow Hawk. The latter is a pretty popular chassis these days.

Yen Lo, HBKs, Firebrand, Ravens, Blackjack are all faster than it.
The Yen Lo is the only one that can break 100 with an XL and speed tweak

But... But that would make sense!
I'm planning to run a much smaller AC most of the time, but going 140 KPH with a 20 just sounds like fun. Haven't played a ravencannon since CB though, so I'm probably remembering them through lagshielded glasses.

Jagermech: You can run double AC20s and be pretty quick. It's never occurred to me often to only put a single AC20 on a Jager. I rarely if ever see that in the field either. I guess it's because a Jager just begs to be outfitted with AC40. I've tried an AC20 in one arm and an AC10 in the other. Maybe mess around with a single AC20 and only energy weapons. Could be interesting.
Blackjack: Never owned one but you can find a couple AC20 builds here and here

Because Raven + Big Gun = Win.
91 kph with an XL 180.
21 shots. Backup weapons. Jumpjets.

Sometimes you run builds as insane as mine.
But mine has more armor. Significantly more armor.
