Almost done with 91/91 on the Trebuchet TBT-7M, been mucking about with lrm 30 boat + narc memes, had ups and downs, rage and happiness, love and hate, it definitely requires some skill and enemy team composition luck.

Had some really good games but mostly only when the enemies had little to no AMS with some good narc aim and calling out narc'd targets on voice coms, but for the most part low to almost no damage games with skill rating lose or no change and horrible match scores.

Overall not a very good mech, this thing absolutely rekt pilot skill rating, taking Karee down from 3 to 4 (and likely even lower 4's by time she's done with it.)

So she's looking for a new medium mech or multiple new mediums mechs to play to make up for the experience of playing that mechanized force of self inflicted psychic damage~

Here's the list of mediums she has currently:
Arctic Wolf:
ACW-1

Black Lanner:
BLK-A

Blackjack:
BJ-2(L)

Cicada:
CDA-2A(C)
CDA-3F(L)

Griffin:
GRF-2N

Nova:
NVA-Prime
NVA-D

Shadow Cat:
SHC-B

Trebuchet:
TBT-7M

If anyone has suggestions that aren't already on the list of owned mechs, please share them, and don't be afraid to share meme/fun mechs too, even if they're a little bad, Karee very much is a cultured meme mech loving degenerate, so gimme gimme gimme~!

If you're ready to forgive the Trebuchet, may I introduce you the TBT-5J ?
Another great laser-vomit is the BlackJack-1X.
For good in-your-face dakka, meet the Hunchback-IIC.
Now for my fav, because gotta go fast, the Vulcan-5S. Or if you want a MASC jumpy medium with a little more build variety, try the Phoenix Hawk-7S.
Another good overall mech with great hardpoints and multiple of good builds, the Shadow Hawk-2K.
So far I've kept it F2P friendly, but since you'll be able to claim a medium hero during the lootbag summer fest, get a Rival, the king of the medium class.

(builds are what I had save on mechDB and they might not be the most refined, but it gives you the idea)

edit: among the one you already got, the Black Lanner and Shadow Cat are at the top of the meta.

Shadow Cat with 2xERPPC is quite powerful; I've seen these as the last of the opposing (losing) team member to survive also!

Mobile, nimble, MASC, JJ, and with ECM if desired!

The Legendary Shadow Cat Noble is also pretty good too!

Karee has the Shadowcat you're thinking of, it's really nice, surprisingly there's only two variants that have JJ + MASC + ECM.
SHC-B is the best variant of the two.
SHC-Prime(C) variant is not only bad but it can only be bought with MC and it has those old day mech +2.5% quirks that give almost nothing.

Shadow Cat Noble seems like a good meme, might actually get that at some point.

I'm reading between the lines here, but do you know that on omnimechs you can change the pods (thus the hardpoints) of your mech?
On the Shadow Cat, the ECM can be mounted on the -B left torso, but that omnipod can be equiped on every other variants if your build requires to mix and match.
There are "set of eight" bonus if you keep the stock omnipod configuration, but often modifying it is much stronger.

Except maybe if you're billionnaire in MCs, NEVER buy champion mechs. Heros give a better cbill bonus and have unique hardpoints, while the (C) are just glorified standard variants.

with the event you could pick up a hero mech as well.

if you like the LRM play the Kintaro- Golden Boy makes an excellent one

KTO-GB (4 LRM-5, 1 LRM-10 (6 1/2t ammo), 3 MLs, 1 AMS (1/2t ammo) running an XL-280 with 3 DHS and Endo)

AM182001|2@|2@|i^|Jdp\0|i^|3@|[Oq\0|i^|f?|aO|jO|i^rT0|Y?|2@|2@sT0|Y?|Y?tS0|[O|[OuS0|[O|[OvB0|[Ow808080

the Grid Iron can be a scary mech if you kit it with an SB guass (the Guass rifle fires at an insane rate given the mech's lovely 30% guass cooldown and 20% general cooldown quirks

HBK-GI (1 S.B. Guass (3 1/2t ammo, 3 MLs, 1 AMS (1/2t ammo) running an LE-250, with Endo and LFF)

Perhaps the only mech I still do well in is https://mwo.nav-alph...2ee9baa5_BSW-HR

Edit: should be UAC20
