no, one one does that, everyone knows that is a bad idea. What people do with mediums is load it up with as many medium lasers, and srms as possible in order to have a decent amount of firepower. They then proceed to attempt to get into short range combat where they can actually do some damage.
While trying to do that, they have to put up with 3/4 of the mechs on the field being quite capable of grievously wounding them before they can get into range, and then its a losing battle entirely because you already got effed up.
I can win in mediums, but its because i am better than the enemy. When I go up against someone as good as me, but they are using something heavier than a medium, well they are gonna win, they have more armor, more firepower, they can keep in their sights, just like I can keep them in mine. They can target my weaknesses, just like I can target theirs.
It is absurd how much more powerful a dragon or quickdraw is when compared to the 3 50 ton mechs. Those guys are exactly what mediums need to turn into.
