And they are some of the best tabletop 'mechs to use as fodder or to fill out an enemy force. Some are really useful as well. They just aren't as glamorous as some so they get left out.
hydrosoul4273 Yeah its a nasty little bugger when it finds a perch to snipe from. Assault 'Mech players look around stunned when the shots rain in. I talk from personal experience of course :)
The locust's big brother. But suffered from being a low weight medium mech. I just gave up too much weight to support an engine to give it the speed it had.
On the table it works a lot better but in MWO it only really works when equipped with a boat load of lasers like 4 medium pulses that sort of thing. I quite like it in BT because it doesn't die from a single hit like the Locust will on tabletop at least.
Cicada's....lovely mechs...
Honestly we overlook some mechs but ones like the Cicada, Clint, Vulcan and Whitworth will always be there

It will always be there to be an easy target to laugh at as it gets krumped.
Favorite mech in the game atm is the Cicada 3C, with quirks and modules you can make the ER PPC have over 1km optimum range

I got 1042 damage on alpine peaks with it, sitting on top of a hill poking direwolves a 1.5km

+Mike George Yet in MWO it remains probably the most popular IS medium simply due to speed, ECM and lag shield.
+Critical Rocket More than mechs in the 55 ton range?
+Mike George Yeah simply due to the ECM and speed it has. You see more Cicada's than the Wolverine or Shadow Hawk for instance.
+Critical Rocket Maybe it has something to do with drop limits too.

Yeah, it allows other players to spam thunderbolts in larger groups with the nippy Cicada's giving them ECM cover.
Worst mech ever , 2 med lasers a small laser and 20 ton levels of armour . Just take a locust and half instead
