So first things first, Mech Warrior Online (MWO) is way different than what we have on table top - their heat scale doesn't exist until you shut down, their fire rates are crazy high, and direct fire weapons are pin-point-where-you-want-it damage.
I've played it off and on since Beta and I'm a founder because I thought we'd get a lot more out of the game than we have - but I digress. The meta in that game changes every now and then and sometimes I'd like to see how some mechs would work "for real". So with that, lets get started with 4 close to my heart. The original tear-jerkers, the grandfathers of grief, the masters of munchy:

All of which are surprisingly decent translations, almost all directly from how they're set up in game.
