Variant A My own take on the FLAME, tried using the LB 10x but meh, I dont really like it and prefer my AC/10, never really overheats as long as you use heat management skills. Variant B Used this to TREMENDOUS success!!
I was going to say something like "You should use a larger engine", but since you're using an AC/10 rather than an LB 10-X I think what you have here is great. I can't really think of anything that can be improved with this build. 5 stars for you
Haha why thank you sir, this is just the second mech I use. the other is my Raven 3-L except I actually run the optimized build for competitive play. First 5 start build Woohoo! haha
My guess would be that he don't like the AC10 - I don't like it myself, seems to be the low damage brother of the AC20 and the slow fire cousin of the AC5. I ran them on a Jager for a bit but it just didn't seem to be worth the tonnage. They seem to work for you tho.
Well I could argue the same thing with the LB 10x except with that you need to be super close Here is the latest success with Variant B and yes I was doing a for man with the A.C.E.S and Zaku
I like this. I was running that second variant for a while. The dragon is such an agile mech when it has that big engine. On the other hand, when i look at the first variant, 4 tons in pulse lasers instead of regular lasers can also be used for SRMs. Im not sure what gives a better alpha strike (since that is what you take the pulses for i guess). 4 pulses give 4 more pin point damage than 4 regular. A srm4 or srm6 gives 8 or 12 damage spread out. I think i'd prefer the srm variant over the pulse laser variant of the flame.
Sorry for supper late reply to this thread. I did use an srm variant for the flame before but I just idnt feel the srm's doing the damage plus the srms are not pinpoint and neither is the lb-10x. The AC/10 does wonderfully when used after with medium pulse lasers. Not many parts on a mech can take a 16 shots of medium pulse lasers (4 salvos of the 4 medium pulses on the mech) , plus the 2 AC/10 shots I will up for the within me shooting 4 medium pulse laser alpha strikes 4 times. Now if you can aim consistently that's pretty damn good.
