    Ummh thats not so bad compared to the 6 x LRM 5, 4 x ERML Stormcrows I kept seeing last night (which someone will probably champion as great but really are shit on such a great laser vomit chassis).

    Problem with the King Crab is most people want 3 different playing setups and are trying to find fits for CW - 2 launchers and 2 erll with 6 MG's against rushers sort of fits (not that I'd pilot it).

    Reminds me I need to kill my dual large lasers, dual medium laser and quad artemis guided SRM 6 KCB-0000.....

    Maddogs can run 6x missile launchers and 5x laser hardpoints. What's this 6x missile launcher Crow I am hearing about and how do I get one? :jawdrop:

    A typo in Remarius' post, I assume.
    (the most missile hardpoints a crow can mount is 5)

    Nooooooooooooooo! :cry:. Say it ain't so. Say it ain't so.

    I was really hoping Remmy's superpowers were cluing me into some tiny tidbit of ancient/new awesomery.

    It's not that he was using an Assault for a dedicated LRM boat . . . it's not even HOW he designed it, as he apparently even had a STD engine . . . it's just . . . why no Medium Laser?! :inpain:

    He could have had that T-Bolt . . . could have killed it in seconds . . . had he only brought a Laser. :facepalm:

    Because why go with SRM18 with your 3MG build when you can nerf yourself down to the equivalent with SRM10 and have 4 of those tubes lock on?

    It's easy! Take a good Stormcrow build, then just remove weapons and watch it get shittier and shittier!

    Bit lost on what they packed on that instead of its normal weaponry - lots of heatsinks and a TC7?

    In fairness I've seen a lot worse and maybe its a first round CW build?

    But why not keep the MLas on it? It doesn't get hot sniping with them on anyway...

    One explanation could be the use of a lowcost 2 button mouse. If he uses LB and RB for the corresponding arms, there is no more room for a third weapon group unless he would use keyboard buttons.

    Eh, even so...when I was playing with a cheap mouse, I never compromised my builds for it ;)

    Well you know that plenty of peeps on this forum swear by dual ERLL builds....

    Lets be honest its a better fit than the all ERLL Victor in my last match that stood back at maybe 800m.

    Ok, this time it wasn't LRMs . . . but it was still an Atlas. :rolleyes:

    I'm thinking . . . maybe take 4, at least? On a different variant, of course, since that one can only carry 3 . . . but the S variant should never be used for an Energy only build --- it has too many Missile hardpoints.

    Hard to guess the exact speed of an enemy mech.
    I theorycrafted the thing, at least the dissipation is monstrous:



    4 LPLas might be OK on the -RS... Not even sure actually. My Wolverine has the same weapons, with insane quirks that make it better than any Atlas for half the tonnage (except for the "lose your arm lose everything" part).

    There is a function called "fire selected group"
    Use it!
    I map that to my number 4 fire button, for those special needs moment. (group 1-3 is fixed, 4-6 is for selected fire groups)

    I have a 5 button mouse and a peripheral controller. I personally have no use for that option :p
