First off play this. This themed build is for all the jet fighter/Top Gun fans out there. The Raven always reminded me of a jet fighter with its long nose, so one day after watching Top Gun I decided to bring a little Danger Zone to my Mech Warrior. Naturally it had to have full Jump Jets, good armor and speed, and had to be fun while jetting all over the place. The paint took inspiration from the F14-Tomcat you see below and was as close as i could get it using in-game camouflage. I recommend listening to Danger Zone while you play, however I do not endorse playing in your aviators but leave that to your discretion. P.S. Smurfy's is saying my firepower is 18.2 while in game it is listed as 28, not sure what that is about. The R-4X Tomcat. Also if you are looking to name yours the same, R-4X TOMCAT will fit whereas RVN-4X TOMCAT is too lengthy. The one and only Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

Mmmmmmm you won't be able to "extend and escape" with that engine Most lights will be able to run you down and pull you down. Jenners can jump so you won't be escaping them and other Ravens are faster and will simply catch up. Let us not forget spiders which should ROFLSTOMP you all day long as they can run faster AND jump further.
All valid points, That's why its a theme build more than anything else. I know jenners and spiders can outshine it. Its fun to harass the heavier mechs with though.
They were actually designing a laser for aircraft, although funding was cut. Pretty cool stuff though and way after the Top Gun time frame as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_YAL-1
