Blasp A is my go to for Clan assaults. It functions essentially like a Warhawk prime but with JJs and ECM.

Out of those 3 mechs, I'd also say:
Urbie K9.

it has lights and a siren.
seriously and without sarcastic remarks:
best. mech. ever.

LOL I BOUGHT AN ARTIC WOLF WITH NINE SRM HARD POINTS

Its flipping hilarious!

Yeah, only 1 of these mechs have 9 missile hard points. 4x4 and 5x2. Easiest decision I ever made.

I've always felt that Artic wolf variant, whilst good, always lost out to the 8SRM6 Phaket. PTW? Maybe, but you can't deny the extra tonnage and JJs are certainly worth the cost.

You cant do 140 kph in a Pakhet. Speed is the ACW's only armor.

I would agree, but the huntsman has about the same armor. Better over all damage sure, but the mech is slow and limited to poptarts.

The Artic Wolf is fantastic because its fast, and can sneak up on an assault, alpha twice, get the kill then gtfo.

True, but then you're not competing with the firepower of the HMN either.

HMN can do 8 SRM6 + 1 ton of ammo each + 4 DHS with near max armour
ACW with 9 SMR6 + 0.5 ton of ammo each with near max armour can only go 107kph
Drop the ACW to 8 SRM6 + 0.5 ton of ammo each and it can get up to 119.5kph

In the back? In testing grounds?
because I can guarantee not head on, because of spread will the 6's direct right to CT. further assuming you are using a single DHS with the 4 tons and a 280 you are going to have terrible heat efficiency around 1.15 which will barely let you fire those weapons sequentially.

I have a good amount of experience w basps, I like them a lot but their STs are very squishy, similar to a mad dog without ST armor.

Faffy, well, those are good too, but I haven’t driven em (I have annis tho)

ACW-1 is good but not really a good mech for me.

I would say the HGR faffy is hard to beat, although I would prolly avg higher dmg in my Basp.

i think ive been happy with all 3.
