While the Sunder and Black Knight may both be considered
significant entries into their respective weight classes, the
Uller is the expansion mech that most threatens to dominate its
weight class. Light mechs generally function best where speed is
critical, such as flag runners in CTF matches. The previous
fastest light mech, the Inner Sphere Osiris, is thoroughly
outclassed by the Uller. The expansion mech equals or betters the
Osiris in all categories. It doesn't have the Osiris' option for
Light Amplification, but it adds ECM, which is generally
preferable. The smaller profile of the Osiris arguably makes it
more difficult to hit, its only obvious advantage.
The Raven, the heavier of the two
light mechs included in the original game, held as a slim claim to
fame as the only light mech to possess both ECM and BAP. The Uller
matches it in one category, and thoroughly outclasses the Raven in
speed and firepower. By virtue of its heavier weight, the Raven
can at least pack more armor than the Uller.
The Clan Cougar was the undisputed
combat champion of MW4's three light mechs, and while it is five
tons heavier than the Uller, it does not have a clear cut edge in
combat. The Cougar possesses the ability to pack more armor, by
virtue of its weight. It also has 10 weapons slots to eight for
the Uller, but this is not a definitive victory for the Cougar, as
the Uller possesses four omni slots to the Cougar's two, and
running out of slots on a light mech is usually not the biggest
problem.
