CTF-4X can pack 4 AC-5. mmmm me gustaa
that will destroy the feared 3 UAC-5 ILYA Moromets.
I know. I miss when that meant something. Sadly the Jager can do the same and more effectively. But a Jager can't take the same beating.

Ok, so the 3D wins hands down aparently. So now Koniving has me intrigued, what Hawk should I be looking at to put up against the 3D? Also, if the 3D is too expensive to start out with, should I look at the 4x instead? I'm not hung up on jump jets btw, just a nice to, not a need to.
Thanks for the input so far guys.
To be honest the 4x was my first cataphract and I had it for months before I got another one. It can be a tough runt but it is impossibly slow compared to others and tough on a new player.
All of the Shadowhawks can do most of the same stuff, so variant wise there's little difference. However the 5M does come with double heatsinks and an XL engine already, making it the most worthwhile investment. (saves you having to buy those things. An XL engine is usually in the 4 to 7 million range).
If, for some reason, you go with the Hunchback remember this: Right torso, 46 front armor and 2 rear armor. You will find it much better afterward ("front" encompasses the entire hunch on all sides. "Rear" is about the size of the Hunchback's fist below the hunch).
Beyond that, Hunchbacks have a fair bit of character. The small size it what helps it the most. The 4SP is a better choice as a starting Hunch. Everything said, however, you can't go wrong with a Shadowhawk.
