Yep, I'd take a Nova over a heavy any day.

They are good at brawling with small lasers. They're still not great. I've done a lot of really good games in the Orion before last balance pass. They're still pretty much objectively worse compared to my other choices I could have brought for my team's heavy slots. It's ok to have a preference, but I accept poor mechs for what they are, even if I like them.

Well I do not accept that my Nova is a poor mech. Actually, for me, it's my best mech. With 549 public matches in the prime variant alone, I'm quite familiar with how the chassis runs, and I have a decent KDR of 2.05 in it. All this and I do not use the 11/12 small laser variant which is listed as tier 1 competitive by metamechs, I use 6 smalls and a UAC/10.

Preliminary stats for the build I am using ( http://mwo.smurfy-ne...24d7f3980e589d5 smurfy keeps removing actuators, add those) is conflicting.
The mlx-b was the first and my test platform for all the builds I could think of, honourable mentions goes to the 4 er-meds, 4 small pulse and the 3-srm4+1 small laser. They were all fun and fairly effective (more so the all energy ones).
But what I settled with was probably the one that felt most fun while retaining efficiency.
The MLX-A and D is the ones that only used this build with 50 matches on the A and 70 (The one that I am keeping) on the D. The A had a win loss of 1.6 while the A has 1.2. Too few matches to be statistically certain yet it seems. The KD is at 2.5 for the A and 2 for the D.
Average damage per match for the A is at 320 and 324 for the D.
Preliminairy thoughts before I have 500 matches on my D is that the myth is finicky, the bulky arms and all the weapons in them might be an issue at first glance, but it also means that you can be sure they take the hits when they should, otherwise you can stare (somewhat) at the damage and get it fairly spread to ct and st. then starting using arms as last blocks for damage when you can't take it in the face any longer.
The speed can be an issue if there are no vertical play, but the jumpjets can take you out of trouble fairly quick if you have cover to play with.
All in all, feels like a small ninja, jumping in dumping what ever you got, jumping out once it gets hot both attention wise and heat wise.
Got a match that showcases how I feel it plays like, I've done better, I've done worse. But this one shows what I've been talking about:

Try the Vindie-1X next, I've found it's not so bad with an ERPPC and an Artemis-6.
Nice match btw.

Already bought one
Probably gonna troll around with 3-ac2's first and I need one more Exe for eliting, so after I got the 1x I'm gonna hold on getting the others to get the last stupidly expensive exe.

Also, good on you for taking time to explain your train of thought in team chat .

Must make a comparison between the other chassis when I am done eliting them. Because this feels a bit ridiculous.
Edit: Clarification

I have a similar feeling. Kind of clumsy. And with a lot of inertia when using jets. Not really a mech I enjoy piloting.
Anyway, last week I saw you on several drops in your Lynx, you did pretty well most of the time, good job.
