I have always liked the nova, arctic wolf, and black lanner. Clan mediums can be a lot of fun to pilot.

My favourite mech of all-time is the Shadow Cat.

I don't know why, but I always managed to pull of some exceptional kill streaks in that thing during MW4 days. It was just such a versatile mech; you could drop the speed right down and pack a hell of a lot of weapons on there, or strip back the weapons and become a major pain in the *** scout.

It'll always hold a special something for me I think.

Yup I feel ya shadowcat will never be replaced in that little place for me >.> I personally think its a perfect balance of mech.

I'm quite fond of the Viper (Dragonfly) Omnimech.
Most of the IS Mechs got either the weapons, the armor or the speed for a prolonged battle. Something is always missing. Or everything is averange in a way that non of their features are realy useful anymore.
The Viper is a medium Mech with a clear focus on speed. Topspead ~130 km/h and 8 Jumpjets for laaaaarge leaps. Aditionaly it has still enough weapons to be a thread in anyones rear. Additionaly it has seven tons of ferrofibrous armor. Normal armor hast 16 points per ton FF got 20% more means 7x 16x 1.2 = 134 points.
Enough to absorb lucky hits. Remember this baby is faster than a Jenner. And Jenners are hard to hit.

i do the bushwacker personally, thats my fav medium mech

[Hrungnir]

The Bushwacker is an IS design, though

[DrnkJawa]

Hunchback IIC and Urbanmech IIC. Any other clan mech is simply trash.

[DoctorJest]

Sig says it all - Hunchback IIC.

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

Clan Omni: Stormcrow
Clan Second Line: Hunchback IIC

[Gremlich Johns]

There are Clan mediums on MW:LL - scat, Black Lanner and the Stormcrow, that you can play in right now. Why wait?

[Aegic]

Stormcrow and Nova were always amazing, that Crimson Langur looks awesome too.

[Xeno Phalcon]

Nova and black lanner are some iv always liked, nova especially. (you can thank Diana Pryde for that one)

[Taelon Zero]

My vote is for the Nova. I'm partial to a mech that was considered outdated in 3050, yet almost always ended up the last mech standing when things went bad. Few mechs under 75 tons can alpha strike the way a Nova Prime can. "Hey... your mech is 5 tons too heavy, let me help you with that." "I think I'll shut down now, my coffee is ready, we'll salvage that mess later. You know...there has to be a better way to make coffee...maybe I should get a coffee maker instead of just leaving it on the dash."

No mechlab... though this game is getting that way. I heard MWLL is looking at adding a mechlab in a future update though... could be cool.

[Targun Darklighter]

Grendel-D,Stooping Hawk-A and any Griffin 2C design( thou the 4 is very fun)

[Malis A Novacat]

I do like the Stormcrow as a supporting mech, It can be armed like a Vulture (yeah, some names are just better than others), and make a great fire lance without using heavy mechs. A whole Star of Stormcrows with two as missile boats and three laser hogs can make target practice with IS mechs seem fun.

But ... working alone, or with CBAs, the Nova Prime is the Ride for me. A full Alpha Strike can cut even an Atlas in half, and the battle armor infantry can capture what doesn't fall down. Add two Koshi's (Mist Lynx) and two points of Elementals, and this mech will never be a second line unit. It rides so hot, It's cool!

Got to say I am partial to the Arctic Wolf. The Nova is a solid mech as well.

[Khanhran Vickers]

I have to go with the Vapor Eagle and Conjurer

[Hades Trooper]

yeah stormcrow if i must but i would prefer a summoner, yeah it's a heavy but it moves and jumps like a medium with an heavies weapons

[Malis A Novacat]

The Nova is a versatile medium OmniMech that is capable of acting as a workhorse design in most forces. However, the number of Novas has been diminishing. At the time of its introduction, the Nova was designed for infantry support, and was the first OmniMech designed with hardpoints allowing elementals to easily mount and dismount the chassis. In its primary configuration the Nova is a devastating close combat 'Mech and battle armor killer that is capable of delivering a powerful barrage with its twelve ER Medium Lasers.

As a Clan Nova Cat warrior, I've developed a serious fondness for the Nova Prime, a mech that demands respect for heat management. It's great for flanking and pursuit, with the jump jets compensating for it's lack of speed.

... It's a close coin toss for my other favorite medium omnimech.

The Stormcrow is a wide-spread, second generation OmniMech fielded by many Clans. Alt. Config. I - A pair of LRM-15 launchers provide long range firepower while each arm carries an ER Large Laser and ER Medium Laser. To ferret out hidden enemy forces, the Stormcrow I configuration mounts an Active Probe in the head.

This is my preferred version of the Stormcrow, a great fire support mech equal to the heavier Mad Dog/Vulture that can keep up with the lighter and faster mechs. I would be willing to engage in a trial of position for either mech.
