The quickdraw: Movement like a medium, armor like a heavy, weapons like a light.

Or you could move and hit like a heavy, but if you're going to do that, you may as well be in another mech.

And when the engine cap is lifted, this mech's specialty, such as it is, will be gone.

The Quickdraw is absolutely one of the best mechs in the game. it is darn near the perfect blend of firepower, armor, speed and agility. However it is also absolutely not an easy mech to learn how to use which is why so many people claim they are bad. Basically it is bad pilots that give it a bad reputation rather than anything wrong with the mech. Its only real flaw is that it is scaled incorrectly, however that isn't enough to DOA this mech, not by a long shot.

Weapons like a light? Are you kidding me? One of my Quickdraw's has 52 Alpha. It also has over 400 armor, runs at 98 kph, carries 5 JJs, and 15 DHS that make it hard to Overheat it. So movement like a medium, armor like a heavy and weapons like an assault.

Yeah... gonna need to see a link to that build.

And if half of that alpha is LRMs, it doesn't really count as a 52 alpha. You're also lowering the engine and using speed tweak.

This was on a hot map no less. 2 kills were 1 v 1s and the rest were in small group on group. These results, while extreme examples, are also not atypical. I get more matches like this with my Quickdraw than with almost any other mech, that is saying a lot for a 60 ton energy mech in a world of PPCs and UAC5s.

Speed, jumpjets, decent armor, 6 medium lasers, and 21 heat sinks. What more do you need?

Yes I am using Speed Tweak but considering that it isn't exactly hard to level your mech up to take advantage of efficiences why wouldn't I count it? Still amost 90 kph even without speed tweak. Oh I am sorry, I was incorrect, I thought it had 5 JJs but it only mounts 4 and the alpha is 56, not 52.

Anyway, pretty much just like I said, it has the movement like a medium, armor of a heavy and the firepower of an Assault.

Yeah exactly. If I go back through my screen shots of exceptional matches, the Quickdraw stands out by far as having the most exceptional matches of any mech chassis I have run. Also there have been several times I have had the entire team compliment me on my skills in this mech and credit me with being MVP. This is the only mech that I have ever recieved those type of compliments on.
