    If you:
    replace the Med pulse with med lasers you get:
    1) better range - with less heat
    2) a 350 vs 340 engine
    3) you can take a torso heatsink out and place in extra engine slot
    4) add a MKII targeting computer and armour (6 pts only cause you built a tank build : ) )

    I like the ideas! I was mostly inspired by the Banshee 3M, which does both builds (OP and your suggestion) very well. The short burn time of MPL can be very worthwhile in some cases.

    I was about to post this myself, but why not LE?



    More speed; same heat, added TC to shorten the pulses up more. Single JJ because you know Canyon is going to get voted for.

    Edit: Oh any AMS because LRMs.

    Because LE reks your heat efficiency when the ST is destroyed (and they're big on the MAD). I like the fact you were able to fit a TC1+some extra equipment in though AMS wasn't as important when I made this.

    Could wonder if the same rule applies to Clan XL's as well...

    Just sayin' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I'm pretty sure when LEs moved to that cXLs did.

    Started w LPL + ML combo but the arms are too low for my liking. So swapped out for this build. Hill pokes w LPL, brawl with MPL. AMS for added support while you peak.

    I'm not sure. Excalibaard will doubtless come by and clean house in a bit, either way. You can ofc put amendments to existing fits in their comments threads (I notice you're down a DHS but have an AMS).

    Comparing Excalibaard's vs. Kerafyrm's standard engine builds (extra DHS/armor vs. AMS), does anyone have a preference between the two?

    It seems like the leg armor and a DHS may an acceptable price to pay for the AMS, though I may drop the 1/2 ton to keep the head armor and lose a bit less leg armor.

    4/5,
    I was running my LE version of this initially, but heat can be a bit of an issue with all these pulse weapons.

    I've switched to https://www.mechspecs.com/threads/mad-4a-this-is-madness-3xlpl-5xml-tc1-2xjj-le350.15946/ to be a little cooler.
