OK, I received the Urban R68(L) this year as a loyality gift.

I'm not an IS player but I figured I'd try this little bugger out and, well, it's a hoot to scoot and shoot with. Hands down, the most fun I've had playing a mech since I started in Feb of this year (2017.)

I modified the stock load out to 2 Medium lasers and a MRM 20 that has enough ammunition to last 2 matches and it just is fun to play..............

What are your fav-or-ite "if I want to have fun" mechs?

[Muujig612]

Direwolf. With as many autocannons I can safely cram into.

The Trebuchet TBT-7K.

First of all, that mech saved me from boredom when I first played MWO. Like my first mech was the TBT-5N because I wanted to try missile boating because I loved the LRMs in MechWarrior 4 what with all their going around in massive circles if they missed, but then missile boating turned out to kinda suck so I got a TBT-7K instead to try direct with like an AC/5, UAC/5, and 2 mediums, and suddenly my fun was like tripled. Then the UAC/5 was nerfed, quirks were introduced, nutech happened.

I leave for a few years and come back and suddenly my TBT-7K is wearing an armored vest with huge side-torso structure and armor quirks and a crazy special niche as a stupidly XL-friendly mech. So I take full advantage of the nutech and slap 2 SNPPCs and a UAC/10 onto the mech with an XL-255. My favorite mech has evolved into a bizarre PPFLD brawling medium and I love it.

It used to be the MAD-IIC-D with 2 LB10X, 2 ASRM6, 1 ERPPC.

Then it was the HBK-IIC-A with 6 MPL.

Last month it was the SNV-1 with 2 HLL, 6 ERML.

This month is IS-only month & so far I've been enjoying the STK-3FB with 4 LL, 2 ERML.

Yeah, I don't think I have that much fun here any more

Hopefully next patch fixes the Nova Cat enough so I can buy it and tinker

[Armored Yokai]

Annihilator, Orion/IIC

Quickdraws with giant engines used to be my favorite "fun" mechs. But with big alphas being so common place now, running around with a fairly fragile heavy with the firepower of a Jenner just aint much fun. So of late I have switched to a Linebacker for the same vibe, but with more survivability, firepower and speed. The things are just so much fun, and now with the loyalty variant I can jump too. Its perfect.

For me it used to be the Locust and now it's the Hellbringer with 6 Medium Lasers, 3 Flamers and a buttload of DHS...

Only have 2 mechs as of now, waiting for the c-bills sales, but out of the 2, my favorite will be my HBR-Prime laser vomit, did many 1k+ damages with it.

[Bakaneko]

My Most fun to play mechs are definetly BJ-1 with ac2 dakka and HBK-4G with ac20. Lately also K9 with ultra-5 and Flying Splatfox (Loyalty KFX with SRM's and JJ) has proven to be hilariously fun to play.

[Wolfways]

My RVN-3L. No idea why, I'm bloody useless in it

After that, my IS mechs. I just enjoy them.

Then my clan omnimechs. Not being able to customise them to my liking makes much them less fun to play. I don't really play clan battlemechs because I generally don't like the look of them.

[Kasumi Sumika]

Warhammer and all its variants, Mad Cat mk.II 1 with stock build.

Definitely the Trebuchet TBT-7M. 60 tubes of MRM fun. Join the new meta!

Boomhammer is a close second. The queue has to be really screwed up to not have fun in a Boomhammer.

[- World Eater -]

Heavy Metal. I haven't played with it as much recently, but it's still my "most fun" mech.

[Bigbacon]

for a really long time it has been a dual ERPPC cheetah with almost no armor.

[Josh Seles]

All my favorite mechs have short to mid range setups, because short range is my favorite range. My most consistently fun mech is the shotgun Scorch.
Semi-stock Wolfhounds, SRM Jenner 2C, Splatcrow, Pulse/SRM MAD-5D, 2 MPL/ 2 UAC-10/ 2 SRM-6 on the MAD-2C-D, among others.
Honestly I've been on hiatus for a couple months, so I haven't been able to try things like my Nightstars, the new Loyalty mechs, a Locust-3M I grabbed, and some other Cougar builds I thought of.

[CFC Conky]

Bushwhacker-P2 with two AC10's.

Good hunting,
CFC Conky

[Stf Sgt Marblez]

Cicada 3c with Light Gauss and a light ppc.

13 pinpoint every 3.2 seconds is so much fun you'll forget you're almost shooting spitballs at the enemy.

The loadout sucks sure, but it doesnt stop 300-400 dmg games dang near everytime I drop in it.

[Y E O N N E]

Mist Lynx. Any of them.

[BrunoSSace]

Use to be the old Hunchback 4J. Then buffs to ams and its not as fun as it use to be. Probably my favorite mech now is the Illya Muroments. 3 lbx 10's 2 er medium lasers. Does so much hurt it is so much fun.
