Clan Mechs

First up for treatment is the lowly Puma. A small, fast and deadly mech the puma is probably my favourite. My top 3 personal varients are:- 1) Sniper: 2 er large lasers, 2) Meatball1: 2 ppc's 3)Meatball ac1: 2 ultra ac 5s |
Next is the Madcat. This is by far the most popular mech online with everyone having their own version. To be honest I am not a great fan but it is difficult to go wrong in this heavy mech:- 1) Sniper: 4 er large lasers, ecm, TC, 3x ams, DH. 5/10 2) 3) |

Now we have the Thor. Similar to the Madcat in most respects ie:- a fast heavy mech the Thor does sport fewer weapons than the Madcat but is heavier armored. Generally a choice for experienced mech pilots the Thor is not quite as forgiving as the Madcat:- 1)blowfish1:-2x ER PPC, 4x Mlaser(non clan),LRM 10, 4x M pulse lasers(non clan),14DH, FCS, 4 jj. 8/10 This design was kindly supplied by EVILBLOWFISH 2) 3) |
The Shadowcat is another favorite of mine and is very similar to the Puma in most respects but is slightly faster and better armed as you would expect from a heavier mech. For a beginner the basic Shadow cat is probably the best "fast" mech you can get, although a little work can bring big rewards:- 1)Sniper: 2 er large lasers, ecm, TC, masc, 3x ams, JJ. 7/10 2) 3) |

Lastly for now we have the Daishi. at 100t there is no heavier mech a fact that be exploted against many lesser mechs. Although well armored the Daishi is very slow so anything to make it faster is a good idea. One common role for the Daishi is as a support mech where the lack of speed is less of a burden:- 1) Mr Missile: 2x lrm20, lrm10, narc,2x ppc's,FCS, TC, DH.7/10 2) 3) |
The Vulture is most deffinately the best non assault mech when it comes to use as a support mech the basic model while lacking in certain areas is a very good place to start for someone looking to work in the support role: 1) Meatball1b:- 2xLRM20,5x M pulselasers, FCS, 3jjs, ams. 7/10 NB. this mech is designed as a pop-up missile mech ie hide behind a hill and use the jjs to pop-up when you have lock with your lrms |
