A1 is the one that can fit 6x srm6 right? Its a murder machine and the only mech I consider horrid op. I got one and it just destroys everything. As long as you don't rearm and repair items the cost of running it is 10-20k and it mostly give 220-240k a match. It is a better money maker than my fast awesome, on pair with the jenners but far more low fps friendly. It does not matter what setup the enemy team has.

Yeah thats like 90 damage if it all hits directly.

My DDC alphas at 83 damage.
My F alphas at 78 damage.

Those both use lasers so the DoubleBarrel Shotgun Cat is still the god emperor of mechs it seems.

AKA THE INNERSPHERE MADCAT, AKA PAUL'S BABY HE REFUSES TO NERF.


Some one see if they can come up with a build that beats that.

Every Chassis has a good variant. But my vote is for the Awesome-9M.

hate casting the vote to cause the 9M Is a good Assault Mech with YEARS of TT use.

Well I don't consider myself a supa snipa but I do mostly hit what I aim at, even when leading mobile targets on EU ping. 3+ kills is not easy to get with the other mechs but the A1 can do it constantly.

It is fast and easy to get close with so you can alpha them. Some armour reduced for ammo but can still take a beating. If only I had tonnage free for a jump jet but I guess that would make it ridiculous.

675 with free rearm and that is mostly enough. I do have games where I run empty so I would not go lower than that. But full rearm will not happen with the artemis cost.

Edit; this is by pure pugging. As part of a premade the mech may not work as well but that can be said for all setups.

I selected Dragon and second choice would be Awesome. I Play a Cent and when I see a Dragon or Awesome my time to melt steel has arrived, most fights I can out maneuver and pick them right apart. In reality I kill more hunchies than any other class because they are strong and I tend to hammer on them before they can hammer back. Dodge and Weave brother Dodge and Weave. The class that prob kills me the most are those annoying commandos, I see they have a ton of negative votes here but on the battlefield they sure kick some buttox.

End of the day I reckon its all about the pilot, I run the trial mechs for fun a lot of times because they are weak and it forces me to step back and use more skill than brute force.

Whats your ping?

[Xenophontis]

A few weeks ago I would have picked Commando, but with that ECM 3x Stream Commando running around . . .

a lot of people dont know that the / key opens the missile bay doors, which takes at least a second off of the srm6 delay and makes aiming a lot easier.

its a fun mech especially because if you go tunnel or whatever, you're pretty much god in there unless you run into 2+ assaults

I think I'd have to go with the cent. and dragon. As it stands I play my YLW as a Zombie with 2 MPLs in the torso because the RA is so huge any decent weapon I would slot there is destroyed in no time this can be said for any of the cents. The RA is literally to big to bother having a main weapon on. As for the dragon I love the concept of playing it like cavalry but it seems every game regardless of how I play it, if I die it's because my torso is destroyed with everything else almost untouched. honestly i don't know what can be done for the dragon other maybe extra armor for the torso, but I'm just a Newbie so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

[MaddMaxx]

Hmmm, what is the crappiest Mech currently? Good question indeed.

I would hazard a guess that it would be whatever Mech I am driving at the time of my in game Destruction. Otherwise, a better Mech would have saved me right? LOL

And that is a must or you will not hit anything at all unless point blank against an inmobile target.

Are you sure this poll is reliable to use?

I mean, it's old. General opinion was Raven was useless, but now it has the ECM and so on....
I think too many things changed and I don't think you could get all the people who voted back to reconsider their votes because of the recent game changes.

[Kill Dozer]

My phract-4X but it stinks because of the AC firing delay, slow projectile speed and poor hit detection make it a real pain to hit anything with unless its standing still. Im holding off on selling it until I see what the next patch brings.
