Just a question for those that know everything about Mechwarrior. What clan mech is like a Victor with jump jets an speed in the 80-90ton range?

[Escef]

Gargoyle/Man O' War for table top, but there are no canon configurations with jump jets that I know of. The Executioner/Gladiator fits the bill for movement, but at 95 tons is a tad outside your tonnage range. You might be able to fake the funk with a Summoner/Thor.

[Pariah Devalis]

Upside, the Executioner moves like a mech 15 tons lighter, so there is that....

[MisterPlanetarian]

Summoner for heavies. 70 tons.

[CarnifexMaximus]

Summoner also has almost the exact same weapons placement as the Victor. Everything is mirrored though, LA ballistic, RA Energy, LT Missiles.

It's also omni so theres a chance for separate ballistic mount locations like 2x arm UAC10's and such.

In terms of ballistics, the mount locations are:
Prime: left arm
Alt A: left arm
Alt B: none
Alt C: left arm
Alt D: left torso and right torso

It'll depend on if PGI gives us the Alternate D variant, but seeing how they're terrified of IS assaults with 2+ large ballistics...

UAC20, SSRMS and a whole bunch of lasers. Mix in some JJS and let the fun begin. The Summoner..... Clan Heavy of choice for those who actually know how to drive.

Executioner has MASC also so that should keep you happy, 95ton hit n run sniper sure sounds sweet!

this is the mech you want but you have to wait till 3110 Lu Wei Bing

The Summoner and the Executioner but look interesting. I like the speed and size of the Executioner. Also the Kodiak with the 400xl and jump jets could be fun.

[XX Sulla XX]

The Lu Wei Bing looks good also

[MisterPlanetarian]

Summoner better have adjustable armor values becaue that LRM goes down the toilet on any build I will ever make.

[XX Sulla XX]

Looks like the Phoenix Hawk IIC fits well also with four ballistics.

Yup, an oversized victor, brought to you by the Capellan Confederation!

Yeah, I looked at the write-up on Sarna, and that thing is rather nasty. I don't even want to think about what it would be like if they swapped the LB20X for a Gauss and went to stealth armor.
