Hello, i want to improve my ingame performance. I want to buy a new mech. What is the strongest IS mech you have based on kills/death and win/lose persentages? And what is the build you use on it.

[El Bandito]

Stats do not say everything, but so far my best quick play IS mech in terms of WLR is the Cyclops Sleipnir. In terms of KDR, it is the Thunderbolt Top Dog.

Wow both pay to play mechs. Coincidence?

[Eisenhorne]

Deadliest Inner Sphere mech I own is the Top Dog (Thunderbolt hero) - 3.52 K/D over 414 games. The Fafnir is a close second, at 3.35 K/D over 92 games. Deadliest mech I own that is actually available through c-bills is the Warhammer WHM-6R. It's only got a K/D of 2.11 over 940 games, but it's also my mech of choice when pugging, because it's good in literally any situation.

Top Dog (3 LL, 5 ERML)
Fafnir (4x LBX10)
Warhammer (2 Gauss 4 ERML)

It's a tricky question. Different mechs are good at different things, if you have to pick the most versatile, good at many things IS mech in all the modes, you'd get hundreds of different opinions. Personally I think the dakka CP-S is probably the best jack of all trades, but it's kind of behind a paywall. BLR-1G, IV4, grasshoppers, whammers, and bushwhackers are all super solid

Ignoring some really low sample size mechs, my best stats is in the DRG-5N.

I have around 200 mechs so most of mine have less than 50 matches on them so its hard to say if they're good or bad. Others used to be good then were nerfed.

Here are my top in 0-50,50-100 , 100-200, 200+
Only the hunch 2c is worth getting

Off the top of my head, I've been doing well with my Sleipnir and BW. Wow, good thing I got these one sale, right? x.x
I like my BHII but I don't have as good a K/D in it.

Hmm... personally the WHM-6R is very good for me. I like the CRB-20 with an LFE and 2LL, 3ML. I got a 2.57 KD in my dragon 5N (WHY?!).

I am enjoying my vulcan Mechs but my bush P2 seems to be my all Purpose Mech, almost omni level of adaptability on it.

Which sucks for the other 100 some odd Mechs i have...

[VonBruinwald]

W/L:
1 - Osiris-2V
2 - Marauder-3R
3 - Cyclops-11-P
4 - Huginn
5 - Florentine

K/D:
1 - Sleipnir
2 - Cyclops-11-P
3 - Marauder-3R
4 - Stalker-3FB
5 - Huginn

The Marauder is the easiest and most forgiving to pilot out of those: Build here.

Of the 'mechs I've played a lot (many hundred games), I have a W/L of about 1.3 in the Crab 27. Current loadout is LFE-250, 2xLL, 3xERML, 2xAMS. One of those 'mechs that gets good stats in random queue by getting very few bad games, although it rarely dominates. It's hard to kill, so I almost always accumulate a decent score. As a medium-speed, medium-range boat there's "never a bad map".

In my experience it takes more than 100 games for W/L stats to stabilize.

Flat out best stats but with <100 games are with Sleipnir (using the obligatory dual H-Gauss build).

My X-5 is has W/L of almost 1.9 after 150 games, but that's inflated by stomping Davions in FW scouting games.

If you're going Cyclops-11-P, Dual LBX-10's and 3 Medium Lasers are the foundations, add Missile's to taste.
