Which one should I get? I'm think Cataphract, which one is easy for a new person? I am pretty decent at this game with my ember above average I would say but I'm getting tired of doing so good I want to learn a heavy mech thanks.

which jager ?
3d is a very versatile mech probably the best heavy all round.

Jager seems to be fotm, load up ACs and facehug the nearest enemy with your mouse button pressed down and move on to the next victim.
Their cockpits are so tiny they may aswell be unmanned, the chances of someone killing you easily isn't worth mentioning.

Probably worth watching a vid of someone playing them, the view from inside felt really rigid and limited to me and the constant booms and flashes from the ACs just did my head in and I had to sell it.

The Jagers are easier, the 3D is stronger once you master it.
