Your Xin Sheng a shit.

Sunny should have been a woman so Victor could have fucked her too

I can find no fault with your line of reasoning. It should be one of those Chinese cartoons people talk about. All the great house leaders are hot girls lusting after the Davion rod of rule, whoever claims it is the First lady of the Slut-League.

How do I hawk? Shadows and Phoenix Hawks feel awkward since they're too slow to be recon mechs and too fragile/light to be brawler mediums.

The P.Hawk is a skirmisher/light cavalry mech. It is fast enough to generally dictate ranges against a lot of stuff and carries enough firepower that you can't ignore it for too long. However, it can't brawl very well, so it has to lean on its maneuverability a lot.

The Shad is.. well, it's a sad story is what it is. The Shad's role really changes based on variant but the -2H doesn't really do anything well. It's a generalist line mech: it supports more focused designs.

>but the -2H doesn't really do anything well
fug :DDDD, the table I rolled to make a lance for atb gave me 2 Shadow Hawk 2Hs. How are the 2K and 2Hb variants?

2K is pretty solid and the 2Hb is great, but because reasons isn't replicated until the jihad era

Both better, they actually have roles. They're quite different though. The -2K is a long range fire support mech using a PPC and LRM 5 (it has nothing else and dies horribly up close). The -2Hb is a close-range brawler with a LB-10X, two Streak SRM 2s and some med lasers. It's honestly pretty good, however, it comes with lore requirements: it is a Star League Royal design and thus isn't really available until after the Helm Memory Core is recovered. Of course, if AtB gives you one, well, ok then, GG AtB. If you could pick between the two mechs, in a vacuum, I'd probably take the -2Hb, I like the brawler more, but it's going to depend on what else your lance has going on.

>isn't really available until after the Helm Memory Core is recovered
You mean Dallas Core, which is 3074.

Pixie is literally a super Stinger. She's a bug commander. And 6/9/6 is standard recon in grogtech. Faster is better but that's what you got most days. Worse if somebody sticks something big in your recon lance.
