Diashi (Russian for Death) FTW! Sorry, I played the mech-warrior series on a 95, and the Diashi/Shadowcat were my two main 'mechs. The Diashi, when you load it with a big enough engine, armor, ERPPC's and X-10 auto-cannons (ammo space permitting) is not one that you'll want to meet on the other side of the battlefeild. Or you could do 1-hit-KO tactic and just load it up with jump-jets and flamers (this of course means that you have to run faster than belief the moment you hit them, hoping that the engine doesn't overheat because of the flamers' heat return). Or you could snipe with a Shadowcat, best engine, no armor, some light gauss cannons, master radar and targeting software. (my second favorite mech because of it's speed)
