If your looking for fire support, I wouldn't use the Axeman.  It wastes too much tonnage on the melee weapon, IMO, for a weapon your plan hopes it never has to use.

Then again, I feel that way about most mechs with melee weapons, but especially on a 4/6 - they always seem to get killed before they get into range to use it.  Hunchback syndrome, I suppose.
AS may be as much a representation of the Battletech universe as the original tabletop game is, but if you tell someone "I'm playing Battletech" chances are, if they know what that is, they're going to take you to mean the original tabletop game. - Steve Restless

If you looking for a good Davion med weight, fire support mech, go with the Dervish. Good missle racks and secondary weapons.

Forget not the Stealth in all of its fast, jumpy goodness.  Still one of my favorite mechs, and prolly my all time favorite "recon" mech.

Especially the 2D variant, that thing looks undergunned.....but it's not.

If you go into the 3060's the are several good mediums that you could choose from for the FedSuns.

Here is a small list:

Phoenix Hawk -3PL, and the -6D (probably the best model out there for the P-hawk)
Shadow Hawk -5D
Griffin -6S
Wolverine -8D, and -9D
Hellspawn-7D
Chimera-1S
Sentry-04
Enforcer III-6M
Sentinal-4D
Hatchetman-6D
Uziel-2S
Dervish-8D (the best med weight fire support mech in the game. I have had alot of sucess with this one.)
Lineholder KWI-LH8
Firestarter FS9-O (omni-mech from 3058 TRO)
Strider SR1-O (omni-mech from 3058 TRO)

I thought the FS9-OB was the best PXH in the game?

The -6Mr honestly is a bit better IMO, but it lacks CASE.
