The 5M was my favourite of the 3 Shadowhawks to level, mostly because of the Black Hawk build, which was just a great all-purpose fighter.
Another question, i just bought my third shadow hawk (have 2H 2D2 and 5M now), and i tried a bit the Jaggermechs and Centurions on the PTS. I have the C-bills and the mechbays to buy only the 3 variants of one chassis. I didn't had much time to try the centurions but i fear that the Jag couldn't be what i'm looking for despite the good results i had on the PTS and i already have a K2, even if it's a bit subpar. I just had the time to try the YLW and i quite loved it (AC20 master race). Is the Centurion a good mech ? What is his role ?
It is a fun mech, but not GREAT. It survives massive damage, and makes a wonderful zombie with a standard engine. YLW is ok I guess, but what CN9 is good at would be the famous Zombie hugger build. Firepower is a bit less though, compare to the popular mediums. Jagers are definitely nice with ballistics. If you love AC20 then Jagers are for you.
