Your most cringeworthy builds.

That's IS AC2's though. We're talking C-AC2, so there's no pinpoint with the burst fire, and they are utterly outclassed by cPPCs in terms of poptart ability for the Nova (except for the heat). I can't really see why to use them in a build like that...

 

Arm Quirks only, Side Torso not included.
Additional Armor Left Arm+32
Additional Structure Right Arm+12
Additional Armor Right Arm+16
Ballistic Weapon Cooldown20%
Ballistic Weapon Range10%
Ballistic Weapon Velocity10%
Ultra AC Velocity10%
Ultra AC Jam Chance-30%

If you macro this your DPS would be insane.
With the cool down you can have dps to go pretty high I would say, at 6.07dps.
Also, velocity lessens the pinpoint problem.

That said, the is no point in not using cUAC2 instead, same heat, plus the chance to go ultra if needed, with jam reduction.

The only vanilla cAC I would take is cAC10 (and in some case cAC20) cause of the lower heat.

 

New super speed Atlas big head spotted.

Was wondering about his weapons... and notice the speed.

That said, he is doing fine in combat for what it is. Would be nice if he would pilot something better for once.

 

Just thought I'd revisit this comment wih the changes... interested to see how things are now.

 

Pro TDR build:

Poor Timber:

srsly?:

Prolly not what the developers had in mind...

 

BJ with only AC20, more ammo and jump jets instead of backup weapons? doesn't seem that unreasonable

Single ERPPC spider, you've never seen this before?

 

Best. Arrow. EVER!

 

Well there are better choices than an Arrow or Anansi for that kind of builds - quirk-wise...

 

Actually BJ is probably the lightest jumpy AC20 unit viable. The Urbie/Spider ones would be too slow.
As for the choice of Arrow, it is probably for the range quirk, BJ1 would give better cooldown and heat though.

Next up you would be taking the 55ton medium mechs for it. Lighter and you get a Magnum Raven (80ish speed, 3-4 ton of ammo and no backup weapons).

THAT SAID, he can bring some backup ML for sure, like this:

Almost max speed, 3x ML, ample ammo. Full JJ

On other builds:
The Anansi is probably a dumber brother of a decent build of this:
Definitely should be done on the shadow spider instead.


The Warhawk might be viable actually:
4x cLPL, and you get around 8-10 tons left (my guess), good for 4-5 DHS, and running huge TC4-6.
Yes you can run it on a Timberwolf or even ebon jaguar but the heat is a huge difference.



Timberwolf with 2x cLPL is a waste though.

 

Actually that Warhawk is MY Warhawk and its very viable if u shoot the LRG-PL in tandem - the pic is about the Thunderbolt with the LRM only build^^:

edit: the builds might be viable - but better put on a different chassis im my opinion....and yes at least 2 ML would be nice as backup

 

Oops ouch... the tubes on thunderbolt are mostly 10s so it would be a pain.
How can he fill up all those tons with that? I guess he may use a huge std engine instead. with XL at lest he can carry 2x LL with it, which makes it decent.
Like this:


Either way, it is a pain even for a missile boat. Trebuchet does it better.

 

I'll second that Warhawk setup as quite useful I've got one of my own setup exactly like that.

 

Man, what a waste of 100 tons. :/

 

Actually a decent build... for an Orion.
I would use LL instead though.

 

So you're saying it's more

"Man, what a waste of 25 tons. :/"

 

Hell, @enileph only said decent build for an Orion. It's still certainly not good build! lol

It can be effective, but, with such a spread focus on weapons systems, it will be hard to perform any role exceptionally well...

 

Not worth it to triple specialize in LRM5, ERLL and AC5
If you want LRM5 you can just take a kintaro, then you can have even better LRM5 spam with LL support.
Or you can go ERLL +AC crazy with Lots of mech, then are many mech that can do 2x ERLL and even 2x AC5 at the same time with great results.
Random example I can think of

 

4x LRM5s are just to troll with screen-shake. Still, most of those are killed EASILY by a single AMS... A better loadout for 20x LRMs is a TDR-9SE...



But, that's still a pretty crappy loadout for a 9SE...

A KTO-18 can do a good troll LRM5 build with 5x LRM5 and 2x LLas. (I've had some good rounds in this troll build) but, it's still a joke. Not a good build...

Same with a SHD-2D2. 4x LRM5 to shake and troll, 2x LLas to provide pinpoint, but, still a joke...

 

Actually against AMS you go into ghostheat mode and fire 4xLRM5, that would eat him up, as well as burn loads of AMS, which is nothing compare to your ammo box. Still great to burn slow things. Especially things like direwhale which will not have AMS for the sake of good firepower pods. That, and AMS is less frequent now.

I would not say it is a good build, but functional at least, when it comes to a medium support.
But when compared to the TDR. I rather do this.


The quirk is good on this one. A decent missile boat mdium with 2x LL for support when needed. Definitely 2nd line unit though. Not the best medium LRM boat either, that goes to this one.


Yes, you need those ammo since you are at 40% cooldown quirk, obviously you can have a tag if you want.

 

Here is one I saw
