All around solid build with high mobility, armor, non-existent heat and massive firepower. I originally made the thread about the AC/20 build below but this one seemed to be a lot better, though they are both fun Bonus Config: https://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=54&l=ed7e9f6a9d6c9bca2fc5b091ed9cd97b48a0b64d Just massive Firepower, no heat management required. Share your thought please
That's...a lot of sustained DPS. Seriously, I don't know if I've seen another build with near-max armor and decent speed that has a sustained DPS over 10. Once you run out of ammo, though, you're kinda done. I might consider a modified version on my 4X when I build it. Drop the engine down to 255 XL, drop 1/2 ton of armor, and grab a couple medium lasers. That's possible in this build as well.
You're just extending the OOA, though. I always try to have energy weapons on my mechs (and yes, I haven't played a CPLT-A1 yet) for this reason.
I guess one ton of each ammo type could be decreased to add in 2x MLases or you could donwscale the engine itself. Sounds reasonable to me, though I must add that I find ballistics to be quite amusing. That is the sole reason why I prefer having more ammo over energy weapons. This is one possible way of doing that.
I have been running your original gauss + 2 ac/5 build all last night and part of today....its a BEAST. Just finished a map with 5 kills and 952 dmg...I will take that any day of the week. Been pugging it today and I gotta say this mech can make or break a match. I have simply been straight murdering other heavies, assaults are still tough, but with this things speed you can easily out maneuver most of them. Last night running with a 4 man drop with a mix of light/med/heavy mechs and we didnt lose a game, I was constantly top damage/kills. Thanks for the build!
