I'm trying to make a good build for it but all I've come up with so far is 2ERLL 5/5JJ xl300 dropping the ERLLs/heat sinks for streaks is a terrible decision the treb can't run streaks it needs to be constantly torso twisting, no time to get missile locks. Maybe regular srms? but you want to be at as long a range away as possible to capitalize on your thin side figure for evading/maneuvering away from enemies since you're made of paper and die in 3 viktor/cata-3d alphas. what are you guys running and how's it going? so far I've ran alrm30+bap+tag+1300 rounds of lrms with no armor/weapons in arms for tonnage and done 600 damage, 600 damage in 2erll 5/5 JJ but 2erll does terribly on closed in maps, as does the alrm30 I'm topping out around 400 damage with 2ml a-srm 24 brawling barely topping 200 damage with regular LL+streaks
Missiles are broken right now, as far as I am aware. This make's the LDG a bit lower powered than it could be. I would recommend a dual ERPPC build with that large of an XL engine. Might be a bit of fun while we wait for the missiles to be fixed.
Now that this thing is on a 50% sale, can anyoone recommend about the Trebuchets and the LDG? I am contemplating getting the Grid Iron (already played Hunchbacks) or playing Trebs including the LDG.
I would not buy them for a dollar, due to the 55 ton medium mechs. But if you like Centurion's, you will like Trebuchet's, even if they are a second line mech.
No spider hero, snif Depends on how you pay the centurions, really. I like BFG on the Yen-Lo, I like the zombie hugger, etc... not very treby builds. On the LDG I'd probably go with SRMs: But basically it's a GRF-3M minus 5 tons, I don't think I'd buy that with real money. (same with the Grid Iron, nothing you can't do on a Shadowhawk)
This and other opinions sum up what I was thinking as well. A really fast version of the LDG stock loadout catched my eye, but that was basically it. I can't finde a suitable GI build for me as well, as some of the best builds are easily doable on any SHD I own. For those interested, this is what I though about doing with LDG. It's just an optimized version of the stock loadout, but I do like the approach:
I got it anyway on another 50% sale. And what can I say? I like it. It's a bit special, but you're a very underestimated opponent and - depending on your loadout (4x SRM6 + 2x MLas atm) - can kill an assault with one or two salvos to the back - and the mech's speed + JJs will get you there quickly.
