I would like to get the sense from the community about their favorite jump jet mech given the current physics of jump jets and their relevance for their weight/space/cost, etc. Please ignore the light scouts for the purposes of this poll, ie. spiders, jenners, and jumping ravens. These mechs are a class of their own, and their roles are pretty clear. The heavier mechs in the game (mediums to assault) equipped with JJ's have a support role different from the lights but not really different from each other, more of a continuum. If you pilot any heavier jump jet mechs, please vote on your favorite or best and what role(s) they fill for strategy.

In the current meta, more tonnage = more effective. Highlander all the way in every role.

That said all those mechs can be effective.

The QD-5K is one of the most successful mechs I have, period. I use it with a XL300, 4 JJs, 3 Large Lasers, and 3 Medium Lasers. With ST it goes 89.1kph and is the perfect flanker/striker.

Tonnage is overrated.
