Urbanmech, of course.

Currently mine is actually the Hunchback IIC-A. One of my favorite mechs thus far, and I have been doing decently well with it compared to other mechs. Currently holding a 1.54 KDR with the thing, and averagely doing about 500 damage so I am pretty pleased with it.

Anyways what is your favorite mech in game currently?

The first one I bought, back in may 2012. When I got my Veterans Founders Pack (later upgraded to Legendary) and selected the HBK-4G(F).

What a wild 4 years that little mech and I have had..... looking forward to 4 more!

My first mech was a Hunchback-4P which I have accumulated like 300k XP on. It was my buddy and still is when I drop IS.

Over 1 million on the 4G, close to on the CN9D. Not sure if it ever recorded the stuff from CB and all those resets.

After that I think my JM6-DD still is cruising in a strong third, though it's only had maybe a dozen drops in the last year.

My Wubshee, it's the mech I wanted when I first got into the game and it's been happily ever after ever since.

I kind of stopped at the bold, didn't you say you wanted the Phoenix Hawk back then Bishop?


For me, It has to be the Orion IIC right now, Fast, and hard hitting. And it calls for a playstyle I can get behind

[sycocys]

I think I answered Commando Death Knell last time this came up, but I think I'm now sold on the HBK-IICB for favorite all things considered. I just have a blast with it every time I drop in it, regardless of how well it does.

If the Nightstar makes it in game I'd leave my Wubshee though.

My favorite mech "right now" this very second?

It's hands down the Rifleman -5D. 2 x ErPPC + 4 x mPulse of ranged support goodness...

It' effectively mothballed all my other mechs for the moment.

[Chuck Jager]

Mechs are like children you love the good ones for who and what they are.

The bad ones just ship off to relatives or boarding schools unless you are poor then you just point them in the direction of jail.

[XxXAbsolutZeroXxX]

I've been using anything and everything that can boat ER large lasers and farming damage from the 800 to 1200 m range where most people can't effectively shoot back at me. I even took out the 2 ER LL ecm raven a few times because someone in game awhile ago said they were "useless". It was good for a few 400-500 damage wins.

And there have been a lot of games where I took out a blackjack with 3 ER LL's that were just downright shameful.



I feel kind of cheap doing it but I'm almost to psr tier 2 and apparently not above damage inflating my way up a notch.

Vindi AA for me. It's pretty much the only thing I play now days except the few times a week I bring out the Narc Raven. I have about 1600 drops in it now. It has some issues but I know what to stay away from and it just works for me. I can usually pull a respectable 300-350 damage in it. Plus it's just second nature to have to jump to fire my PPCs in order to stop blowing up the dirt in front of me too. I don't know what to do in non JJ mechs anymore.

That's how I run my ON1-VA. Keep forgetting to check if there is a IIC analogue. C-XL, UAC10, c-SRM4s? Yes please!

Naturally. Urbanmech is best mech.

I want to claim that, but HBK is like a woman of loose morals, one simply cannot resist.....

[Triordinant]

My Jagers have served me well for years, but lately I've been having a ton of fun leveling up my new Marauders.

[SkyHammyr]

WHM-6D.
I've been begging for the Warhammers since day one. They've been my favorite mech in every incarnation- Robotech and Battletech.
Now that they're here, the Lazorpuke Variant is just crazy good, and solidly consistent for me.

[Hellhound 078]

Adder Prime, every time.

[Metus regem]

Warhmmer WHM-6R, she's like someone you've only just meet, but it feels like you've known them your whole life. First match in her, I put up respectable numbers for myself, 4 KMDD (3 solo kills) with 589 damage, and she has yet to fail for me in any way.

I'm looking forward to see if I 'click' with the Phoenix Hawk in the same way...

This is the Mech I waited for, wanted to fall in love with, etc..... but to play it as it's meant to be, instead of the cheap blow up doll version that is a Meta Mech..... she is just not good.

PPC arms are mandatory or it's not a Warhammer, but... the truth is those low mounts also make it hard mode at the best of times. I want to love it, still, but have to admit, it will never be the Mech it was in TT... and therefore it's not a Warhammer, and not the mech I coveted for 25 years.

WHM-6R "Mjolnir"

Add triple strength Myomers, and that was my mech for a very very long time.

The best it translated into MWO
WHM-6R MWO Mjolnir

but those low slung PPCs just kill it's effectiveness. The most functional WHM I seem to run in MWO has 2xUAC5 in the torso, then 2x PPC arms.

So many IS mechs. Before clans, it was my Jenner F. It's funny because I took the founders Atlas and figured out later I liked the Jenner better. Now that clan mechs are here, it's the Hellbringer (prime or A variant). Great, great mech.
