5/5, I run something similar STD engine for a little more durability. Fewer lasers but it's cool enough to just lay into someone pretty heavily. Edit: Trying to fix the Smurfy link. FAQ said the BBCode wasn't needed and to just drop it in and make sure it was https.... hmmm. I'll tinker. Edit 2: Media tags appeared. Does it auto do that and I just looked too fast?
Yes, if you post the smurfy plain link, and add the s before you post everything is automatic. If you forget, posr, and have to go back and fix it, then just edit, highlight the link, click the break link icon, add the s then save.
I am using a similar build to what enileph came up with. I really love the mix of mobility and firepower. Got some games recorded with the build:
Similar to the build Enileph posted, with some minor changes: only 5 tons of ammo, reduced armor on arms and legs a bit to keep XL280 engine and maximize DHS.
I love the classic dual AC5 loadout. My LT 280 version: (you will run out of ammo, but that is okay.) Skill tree: https://kitlaan.gitlab.io/mwoskill/?p=jsonbin1.5b3427ddefaed72daeecc2e5#s=Weapons
I've been enjoying something similar to this in my RFL-3N(S). The ERSL's help lower the heat, and they only get out of sync after a little while in a constant engagement. A little more ammo. The ammo nodes help. The engine is great. Good speed.
Here's some twitch footage (me) of my version of this build. Mech is almost skilled up. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/485309890
I just watched that this morning. He gets some good numbers out of that. Has an XL engine, though, to make room for all ML's and extra DHS's.
