in my awesome srm boat, my least feared enemy is ironically - the raven

it's not as fast as the other lights, bigger. some are often slower than a cicada - and comparable in size to it.

it's arsenal i don't find threatening at all.
it's ecm does not disrupt my 24srm shotgun.

i am not even exagerating when i say i killed 3 of these in a match, guessing they were a premade.

when they're chasing one of my team mates it's so easy to predict where they will be - in relation to the friendly

when they're chasing me they tend to run circles which are easy to answer with the srm blast, because they're reluctant to standing still or i might put my back against the wall



edit/update:

interesting responses, i find the spider you have to wait till it lands before you can swat it.
it's the same as with the new sniper cataphract thing, you can kill them ok but they fly just to throw your aim off. so really the spider is more dangerous to my mech because it can pretty much stand on my head, this has happened to me in river city and hit me with ppc on the head for the kill :\
the jenner is fast and the shape is weird enough that it feels like im shooting a rolling barrel
cicada can be a good ninja with ultra ac5 and ecm!
the dragon does have that ballistics combo in its arm

the raven doesn't fly that i know of and is shaped like a banana boat!! for my playstyle it has to be the weakest opponent - most recent patch they have a tendency to start limping a little bit too

I dont fear no man.

[Flyby215]

Centurion. That's why I pilot one now. I intend to make it feared.

That ain't no man.

Also spiders... because they're easy to swat.

[Oni Ralas]

Mine. No one takes me seriously. Might be the pink paint.

[Redshift2k5]

Hunchbacks

LRM boat atlas.
Absolutely nothing to fear from it, ever.

[edit] I forgot the spider even existed.

The Spider, naturally.
Also the Awesome, Commando, Cicada and Hunchback - though Centurions with LRMs or LBX-AC/10 aren't very hot, either.

It's not really impossible for a pilot to do well in one of them, but they're fragile.

I run a founders Jenner. So any light that doesn't use streak SRMs (I don't use them myself, but I find that other light mech pilots aren't very good at hitting me when I manage to wreck them). Stalkers are pretty easy kills if I can get behind them before they notice me...

I don't really *fear* any mech (aside from ECM Streak lights) because I can usually stay behind them or quickly circle them and get behind them again.

I was playing my Spider the other night, and it came down to me vs a splatcat. So I'm running around, picking away with both of my med lasers, and the cat stops. Then he types, "It kinda stings", before blowing me out of the water.

Sp the least feared mech is the Spider.

[Homeless Bill]

Awesomes. Not because they're bad, but because I'm immediately filled with inconsolable rage when I see someone else piloting my 'mech. There can be only one.

Really though, probably the Cicada. Because seriously, who the **** is scared of a Cicada?

[Jman5]

The Dragon. I don't know if there just aren't enough good pilots playing it, or good builds aren't well known. All I do know is that they are usually pretty easy to kill while taking minimal damage.

[Z0MBIE Y0SHI]

Spiders with 25 ping

[themoob]

Hunchback variants with the single Hunch. It's so easy to disarm them completely.

[Tahribator]

As an Awesome pilot, please keep not fearing us. We die very quickly and do little damage indeed! (shh)

For me the least I fear are incidentally the other Awesome pilots. Most have no idea how to use this fragile mech so they go down very quickly.

[Budor]

Cicadas and all hunchbacks but the 4p/sp.

[Bishop Steiner]

Probably the 2X or 4X Raven. The #L can be downright nasty, but those 2 are pretty much easy targets.

And PPC boats. Mind you, they CAN ruin your day, but most are the 1-2 volley, shutdown rides, and in those cases, as a fast Medium with a BFG, they tend to make great head shot paperweights while they cool off. Plus... most of them can't maneuver worth a damn.

[Skadi]

Centurion.
