Me likey this build. In a stand-up face to face brawl, you can go toe to toe with pretty much anybody. I've been skilling it up and can report it is very fun: _ Skills: https://tarogato-mwo.github.io/mwo_skill_planner/?d8ff0601-7cfe-11e9-afa0-0b2d06af6bd7 The 15 points on the weapons tree could go elsewhere. 2 UAV's, 2 strikes, 1 coolshot. This thing has great shield arms and good enough torso mobility to play the twist game. Fire your alpha strike, twist, wait for your cooldown, fire your alpha, twist. Twist in the direction which is least damaged to soak the incoming fire all over your mech. The weapon sync is good; MRM's theoretically can fire out to 500 meters, but they are best used at the same range as your ML's and AC20 (about 300 meters or less). Use terrain and your teamates to close the distance to brawl range and then let them have it. Gameplay video from BlackhawkSC:
I did, however, downgrade the MRM40 to an MRM30 and increase the engine to a light375. It works a little cooler and the MRM30 has a better cooldown. In addition, the extra speed matches the spirit of the Banshee more (in my opinion). Excellent in the right hand !!!
