Personally I dont like Mechs with arm weapons spots. Most of them kinda of a drag those weps on ground. Stalker would be my choice but with this ******** movement penalties it can suck badly.

My choice is Quickdraw. 106Km/h, 2 ErPPC's in left torso that are pretty high above, descent armor and excellent turning speed. In most maps it can do pretty superb harassment in first part of fight. In middle, it can support assaults and defend LRM boats or any other who needs support. Then, in last part of game, if you survive until then, you can do final damage to enemies.

In most cases I can do about 500 damage or more but personally I think that most important is that you can move fast over map to help and support others. My top damage score was 1012 with QDR-4H

Stalker, armor, profile, weapon loadout. It's the death machine Atlas pilots wish they were piloting. I wouldn't go so far as to say unbalanced, but certainly the most desirable amongst the assault class.

[Oppresor]

I almost exclusively run with the Atlas, to me it represents everything that MW should be; but your question is which fire unit is the most successful? I have no hesitation in saying that from the assault pilots point of view it would have to be the Jenner. This is the one unit on the battlefield that I know not to tangle with. It's sheer speed and hitting power is enough to want me to Eject!.

I chose Cataphract because it's a great mix of speed, armour, and 2 PPC + Gauss... 3xUAC 3xML is good too, and even better with the recent buff.

That said, I think the Highlander might now be the most successful. The Stalker would have been, before ghost heat, but now the Highlander can run cooler while it also packs a hell of a lot of firepower and armour and that's what matters in PUGs.

Roll Stalker for Easymode

[Fajther]

If you go by kill death ratio ,according to my stats, my k2 cata followed by my hunchbacks sp and 4p. If you go by win lose ratio my c1 cata followed by my comando d2 and my comando tdk.

I always find stalkers and atlai d-dc out scoring me every round. Highlanders are scarry. My cataphract 4x kills loads of stuff. Loads of atali, stalkers, and highlanders die to my cataphracts. Too bad my cataphracts die all the time to lights.

stalker- even noob can do well in this.

highlander- put a good pilot in it, and it reach stratosphere, even above stalker.

cataphract- got the cheesiest build in the game, the dual guass ppc combo, possibily on its way down as pin point alpha meta is slowly getting buried.

everyone else are just there to make sure their highlander, stalker, cataphract make it to the end.

i dont vote in public polls.

[Julius Septim]

Then don´t write in Public Polls. Theres nothing to blame about your Vote, still just Opinion,

[Kanatta Jing]

And the intel is in. The Cataphract is the single most owned mech. Excluding founders.

#4 on the list. #1 in reality.

[Jin Ma]

for some reason i feel like the highlander is a very good allrounder

To be Honest i dont care a Rats *** what PGI says

Just because alot own that Mech doesnt mean its the most successful in Combat, Phracts die easy because of their huge Torso and weak Armor in that part.

[Pastor Priest]

I still think the Atlas has the most power to sway a battle.

If we're going to start adding in extra qualification like "in combat" to success then we might over look the important issue.

The Cataphract is unique in being the only actual brawler / all rounder in the Heavy catagory.

This position will vanish on the 17th with the full release of the Orion.

[Julius Septim]

Still not an Argument that the Phract is the most successful, if it is your Opinion alright. Nothing to discuss, but Numbers from PGI means nothing in that successful case, owning a Mech is no success

[Lord Ikka]

Despite the fact that I don't play them- hate their look, it's just a pure visual thing for me- the Cataphract would be my choice for most successful Mech. Varied playstyles, multiple weapons options, and a really good tonnage for all-around decent loadouts. The Orion might change this up, as may the Thunderbolt, but for right now I think the Cataphract is the best.

WTF @ STALKER LOL!

You missed when they were the bees knees of the game I take it? We've had the 4-6 PPC stalker meta... The LRM boat stalker meta... Even the PPC+Gauss meta on the stalker (Even though only the Misery could do it)... Stalkers are very good at boating non-ballistic weapons. I still see alot of energy heavy Stalkers that do well, though not as well as they did when this thread began...

[Byzan]

pretty clear pattern forming

top group
Stalker
Jager
Cataphract
Highlander

then
Atlas
Victor
Catapault


Spider and Jenner being clearly the best lights

Mediums not really a factor

Quickdraw the worst Heavy, Awesome the worst Assault

that's exactly how I see the balance of power and it seems to be starting to take shape in this poll

I voted Cataphract

small signature for its weight, mix of armour, speed, jump jets and ballistic hard points. Obviously lots of them on the battlefield. you dont often see less than 5 in a game and sometimes get 5+ on just one team - and that usually means you will win. Ilya is generally considered the best Hero Mech in game.

I do regret getting 2 awesomes and 2 Quickdraws and yes 2 not three because the way they are i have no intention of buying and leveling a third. I regret not getting phracts but at the same time they are kinda FOTM.

Also, calling it early:

Trebuchet - 0 votes - the red-headed stepchild of MW:O.

(though I bet this comment results in a handful of people voting for it just to be contrary, lol)

Called it.

I take off for a while and still 0 votes for Trebbie.

I miss anything surprising?
