Lets have some fun in the forums. Everyone post your favorite land war mechs, excluding MAD-4A and all donation only. Not just your overall favorites, but lets break it down to empire size, post your favorite low, mid, and high level lw mechs.
Also, while we're at it, add your favorite dueling mechs. Favorite tanks for either, or both. Lets just get every ones favorite units. See what we can come up with.

Hands down the Pillager. Only once did I ever have the joy of commanding a full company of Pillagers in combat. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! One Rhino and the rest Pillagers. Swept map after map of heavily defended zones, and half the time the enemy never saw me before he had silver doom raining in on him.

WHM-6D would probably be my favorite non-DP LW mech. Favorite DP only LW mech would be Ostscout... back when they were useful. It was fun repping up hundreds of rep in a LW osty killing bumps in small empires. =P
Nowadays the most enjoyable mech is watching Robotech reruns.

Well you know im not quite on mech battles but having to choosse any I would choosse griffin or phoenix hawk.
the reason is that once i go intoa battle i hate when it take ages to see some shotting so I like fast mechs because with them you are able toquickly close into the enemy and make them fight.
When talking about vehicles, my favorites are the hunters, big armour, decent weaponry and highly expendable. i ussually put gunnery 3/4 pilots in them so they are ussefull but you dont mind a lot about them being destroyed. if teh battle get stuck because someone is runnning the clock you can allways leave the hunters on their own and let the running clocker to get bored alone while attacking elsewere.
they have the fun that mech pilots tend to subestimate the damage that a well coordinated hunter battallion can do, yet you require a bit of luck for taking down single heavy or assault mech when fighting a bat of mechs witha bat of hunters but giving the order to a hunter battallion of shotting to a single target can ussually do alot of damage.
but probably in neveron terms the best vehicle for lw is the ONT LRM, huge punch and able to take partial coverture from hills if correctly placed, a bat of those is able to kill almost everything if correctly piloted, of course snnipers are a problem here though.
thanks for this healthy post!.

Took Babenberg with Ostroc 2Ms, best overall mech ever for LW imo. Best player made is the JVN, a mini-Ostroc, which is why I researched it. Best dueller is of course the LCT-1S. Tanks, the PLA-1A. I used hovers to take out Nimon's cities in the Kizo wars, taught everyone a lesson about having nothing but IDF clustered in the middle when I couldn't be hit. Taught a further lesson when I used Flashmen and CGR 1A1s to soak up any random shots from said IDF towers.

the most fun for me are the 5/8/5 mechs.
GRF-DEST (yeah yeah DP only) and STY are awesome mechs
GRF-1N GRF-1S WVR-6M and OSR-2M are great fun in any combinations.
