there is a plethora of IS light mechs . If you like sniping with ECM the Raven 3 L may be up your alley . I run several and almost all have long range 2 or even 3 er large lasers can be effective . But in order to play a raven sniper properly you have to get good at one thing in particular . Situational awareness . The skill of being able to glance at your map and see how the battle is progressing and move yourself to a position that maximizes your ability to do damage while making yourself a proper distraction that can take 2 , 3 or more opposing mechs out of frontline combat in order to seek you out . Just don ' t get over exposed and stay somewhat close to your main forces so if a retreat is necessary , than relocate to another useful position .
