Jenner looks nice with the speed & small posture but no ecm variant (?).
Any help would be welcome
Thanks in advance

Commando, 25 ton light, realy fast and manouverable, ecm varient, 150KPH+
Spider, 30 ton light, only mech with Jumpjets and ECM capable of doing 120+, if piloted well realy hard to hit, 150KPH+
Raven, 35 ton light, 1 varient with jumpjets, 1 varient with ECM, slower than Spider and coommando but still able to hit 150 with speed tweek,
Cicada, 40 ton medium, lasers and balistics, handels like a light, ECM varient, 150kph+
Honourable mentions
Jenner and Firestarter, both great fast strikers, both have Jumpjets on all cbill varients, nether have ECM, Firestarter has more weapons, and bettar hitboxes, jenner has higher max possible speed and lower profile so is better at using cover
Kit Fox, maxes out at about 107 with speed tweek, if you mount the C arm omnipod can fit ECM + 3 AMS and still have suffiscent spare tonnage for a deacent weapons loadout, can mount jumpjets if correct omnipod is fitted

When you pick a light mech, get into the smurfy mechlab and stick in the biggest engine in you can, speed is life, never sacrfice speed over more weaponry unless there is a specific teambased reason where someone has told you to it.
But seriously, dont be another new guy that gets in a raven-3L with two ER Large lasers, hides and offers nothing to the team. Be a light mech that scouts, helps the team and when the fight happens, gets behind the enemy and harrass them from the rear.
If you want tips on light piloting i would be more than happy to help you.

After this, i just try to lead them into my team and then i harass from the sides and rear, running in between them and distracting some. But by that point, all advantage that could have been gained from scouting, is already gone ...

Cicada-3M

One of the most versitile mechs you will ever pilot. Fast enough to scout, robust enough to sit on the line, enough firepower to make difference and ECM to boot.

Nice, though you could still add Ferro Fibrous and nearly max. out your armour. http://mwo.smurfy-ne...4d689b55bd6339d

Other than the new map, and finding out which of the "usual" paths the enemy took (IE Tunnel on Crimson Strait, or over the mountain)- there is not a whole lot of scouting in the game right now. (Sadly)

Raven if you want to scout/erll poke.
Commando, Spiders for harassing/scouting.
Kitfox for fire support
Locust for the thrill of your life.
