Wow, I can't believe how many people hate on the panther... I just bought the damned thing a week ago and got these results so far:
PANTHER PNT-9R 13 7 6 1.17 19 6 3.17 3,919 16,235 01:58:54
I'm not exactly a great player, but a mech with KDR over 3 during Basics is NOT a bad mech by any stretch of imagination.

And yeah, most of the weapons are on the arm. I've been driving Wolverines and Griffins for a while now, so I know how to twist. I've only lost the arm -once- and not died in the following 10 seconds.

Yeah,im starting to like my panther,it have ideal speed and some firepower,my best score was 190 points 1 kill and 7 assists but hey,im just starting. My next path was to master him,building the other 2 panthers,but the first one its gonna be the 9R,with 2 medium lasers and one srm 6 like this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b28c0fbac5adc5c

If i dont do better work than the 10K,my main mech gonna be the 10K when i elite him.

Are you you sure you need that good heat-efficiency? I'd drop a heat sink, and a ton of SRM ammo, and add two more ML. Then optionally strip just a bit of armour from least-critical sections (head and shield-side arm? and add ½ ton of SRM ammo.

I'm also getting started on the Panthers and having lots of fun. I play them exactly like my mediums though, and don't try to do what Locusts or Ravens do. Stick with the pack, provide long-range firepower (2xERLL, ER-PPC or LPL in the arm), with some SRMs for backup in case the arm goes. If I take some care to torso twist, I find them curiously tanky -- I've had quite many games where I'm alive with health at 30% range, which hasn't been all too common for me in other mechs.

If "slow lights" were/are so great, why didn't we see them sooner? Any mech can lower it's engine for the sake of carrying more weapons.

Yeah not common these days (I'm probably the only one who still drives one regularly)... but they played the same role the adder and panther do.
