huh, and here I think all 3 of those are pretty cool looking mechs.

I think the Jenner's knees are facing the wrong direction and the cockpit is trying to distance itself from the torso as much as possible.

The Jager is just goofy looking. Really bulky and blocky with stubby high mounted arms.

Both of those I can understand the love for though. They are Iconic and both definently look better than they have been drawn in the past.

The Cicada though....Ugghhh This is all I see...



To each their own though. Beauty is subjective.

I have my 3M named "Baba Yaga" for this very reason

Timberwolf cockpit is OP. Nerf Timberwolf cockpit, please.

I love the Griffin....but the supreme leader is the Black Jack ... some how it feels more real than the other cockpits, almost like someone had tried to design a style to it !

Ha, ha, the Black Jack Cockpit. It has always reminded me of what a 3050 view from Gokart would look like.

I can't believe someone said Locust. I think that would be in the topic "Worst Cockpit Ever" list.

Wolverine looks great IMO

This.

Wolverine is my favorite cockpit.

It feels cramped enough to reflect what is read yet gives a clear enough field of view to see everything once you remove the head laser.
It is perhaps one of the few mechs to actually have a cockpit mostly designed after what is both shown and written. Though the head laser does impair visibility, perhaps not as much as is described.

With the same electronics package as the Phoenix Hawk and mobility that allows it to keep up with most medium 'Mechs, the Wolverine is often used for command purposes when working with medium units, in spite of the terrible visibility and cramped cockpit due to the placement of the head-mounted weaponry.

I really like the Atlas and its startup procedure (though I wish on all our Mechs they made the displays do something, I notice that on only some, like my Atlas they give interesting info, its good for immersion).

this reminds me, the kit fox prime has a pipe that just kinda ends. its really visible, just below the dash in front of you.

I do like the KitFox's cockpit because how visible it is you can look down and see a bit more. I also like the dome cockpits of the summoner and the griffin.

Cataphract cockpit. Feels like the cockpit of an AH-64, almost.

[Syfurion]

I love the cockpit on the Stormcrow and the Summoner, the Adders cockpit makes me claustrophobic.

Cataphract
Griffin
Summoner
with a nod to the Kit Fox for it's TIE Fighter meets MarioKart feel.

[Sigilum Sanctum]

Cicada, Vindicator, Stalker. :3

[LT. HARDCASE]

Griffin is my favorite. Great visibility and it feels like sitting in a World War II bomber turret.

The Mad Dog and Stormcrow are really good too.

[aniviron]

The real reason clan pilots are better: Leather seats!



So I'm going to say any clan mech has the best cockpit. ;]

[DONTOR]

My brohams, its all about that Orion cockpit and the built in fire extinguisher. Or the Fire Starter with its badass tubing and valves goin ever whitch a way, OR the Mad Dog and its Warp generator on the right side O the dash.

Oh ya the kitfox has a pretty bitchin center console setup

MAD DOG ALSO HAS A CUP HOLDER... So I suppose it wins.

I'm a fan of the Raven cockpit... and the Mad Dog cockpit is pretty slick too.
