I came back just to find out my beloved LPL Wubverine lost it's LPL quirks.
Are there any viable medium LPL wub builds nowdays?

First, coming in at 40 tons is the Cicada 3M with 2LPL is a go to tonnage filler for CW. ECM and running an XL 300 gets you moving to a 130KPH. You can do this sort of thing with most of the cicadas.
Next, at 45 tons, we have the Black Jack. They can all do an LPL build but the 3LPL Arrow is always a hit (I think an XL 210?) gets you moving at about 87 KPH plus room for some jump jets and AMS. Since the last quirk pass I have seen 2LPL plus mixed smaller lasers on the 1x as well.
At 50 tons, my favorite 3LPL build is a Crab (you can do this on any but one of them has PL range quirks) with an XL275 you are running at 95KPH with room for an AMS if desired.
At 55 the Wolverine and Griffin can run LPLs but they are not ideal ( I run 1 Griffin 2n with a standard 275, 1LPL and 3SRM4s).
I am sure there are others, but these are mine.

Doh! How could I forget Sparky! Yes 3LPL or variants including 2-1LPL mixed with ML/MPL are all fun. I prefer 1LPL in the arm and fill the torsos with mediums.

Cicadas have larger hitboxes than lights so brawling with 4mpls is normally a death wish.

I prefer running 2 LPL and 2 ML on a few Cicada's
Sparky runs 6mpl with JJ, get in tare **** up and get out. Not sure how the 3 LPL compare against heat.

I also prefer my CDA-3M with 2x LPL over almost any other build. Works on the Shadow Cat, too.

It was a "loyalty" bonus for buying certain things over the course of the first year (or two?). You got the Cicada for one rank, a Nova for another rank.

Storm Crow can hang a couple of them in the side torsos. MIGHT be able to stick three in there with some sort of backup. Haven't tried it yet.
Shadow Cat can do 2x with adequate heat sinks and a little backup (I like the -P LA omni with 3x Clan MG and a ton of ammo), while humping ECM and MASC, running around 100 km/h or so after speed tweak, and also workin' six jump jets for some high-jumping fun (one of a few that can vault to the top of the wall on HPG Manifold, and snipe from up there ALL DAY LONG BABY).
I'm sure the Nova can do something with them, too.
Lots of fun, those Clan mechs. Fewer good quirks by far, though.
For what it's worth, some TDR builds are about as fast as an average IS medium, and are quirked for LPLs.

I could see swapping to 3 MLs for some more Heatsinks or a bigger engine. Or even dropping to a 280XL for more Heat Sinks. But seriously, I'm loving this mech.
