    I hope I won't trigger anyone with this build's name, because it is inspired by "Bastard swords", or a "hand and a half sword", because it is a mix between laser meta and LRMs and should actually work very well within the 300-500 meters range, combining multiple equipments and weaponry.

    Theory crafted build for the LRM LoS patch build to fully exploit new LRM lower trajectory when a contact is in LoS.

    Gameplay should be pretty straightforward: backup your friendlies by flanking the enemy team or anticipating enemy nascar in a safe spot, poke over 300 meters to avoid being locked but below 500 to maximize LL damage, always alpha strike on target for maximum damage.

    Thanks to LoS (lower trajectory and consequently better spread) and Artemis (LoS means it will trigger spread reduction) you will achieve the best spread possible on any LRM boat (LRM15 and 20 have worse spread).

    If you attracted too much attention, you should reposition to another good "poke spot" and repeat. Don't go completely alone and / or keep your friendlies as close as you can, so you can flee back to the main formation in case you need help. Pure vomit laser boats and gauss vomit builds will kill you easily in a 1vs1, so be sure to fully exploit your enhanced maneuverability and ECM combined and to become the ultimate "bastard" (now with the negative "meaning")

    Maxed range, heat gen, laser duration, ammo count, spread, velocity, ECM and seismic sensors. I've skilled into armor, and air strikes.
    For fine tuning, you can drop seismic sensors and 2 or 3 range nodes for some additional mobility and / or coolshots.

    Almost identical to a previous fine tuning, but I've dropped armor and a bit of firepower in favor of speed

    ALT: swap a JJ for a TC1, but I'm quite sure you won't be able to get on top of most buildings. You could also strip even more armor and swap that half ton of LRM ammo for a TC1.
