LRM 90 CONTEST

The LRM 90 is something of a legend for those who have been playing long enough to remember. However, as far as I can tell, the current set of rules makes it impossible to make a feasible LRM90 anymore. This was the closest I could come;

Still, I really want a good LRM 90, so I've set up this contest in order to make use of crowdsourcing.

The rules are simple; make the absolute best possible LRM 90 you can, prioritizing alpha damage, ammo, and armor, in that order. Any chassis is acceptable. It's ok if you fall short of the 90 Alpha, but I'd really prefer it if you didn't. Your entry must be launchable under the current rules.

Since the ability to fire more than once wasn't one of your priority, nor was movement speed, I went ahead and quickly threw this together. It has about 160 points of armor; enough to take a shot or two without imploding. It has enough ammo to fire several times before running dry.

 

True enough

 

It looks like this is only possible on the A1. You need either 6x15s, or 4x20 + 1x10. The stalker 5M is close, but it just doesn't have the tubes necessary to pull it off.

 

Can you actually one shot things with this monster ?

First time, long time yadda yadda.

I know it only tops out at 80 but how's this strike you?

 

No surprise there. An Assault is meant for that... assaulting. The heavies are, along with the mediums, the workforce. The Stalkers are meant for jack-of-all-trades designs, originally. Our boating is pretty much min maxing for one situation, not for all around warfare lasting several hours or days.

 

It doesn't quite have the simultaneous throw weight (which is quite important for LRM boats these days), but it's much more durable. A good try.

 

O MY GOD YES YOU CAN! never in any other mech will you laugh as gleefully as you watch an atlas CT burn through in 2 shots! or any light with 1 volley. I bought an A1 just for the LRM 90 and although half the match you spend overheating, its totally worth it. My first match with it i got 6 kills, other matches got varying results. Although this build is one the most fun and makes me actually lol EVERY time i use it, you WILL die a lot with it. But others will die more. HIGHLY recommend this guy to everyone just for the lolz.

 

Enjoy it before July 16th hits. You'll overheat from penalty then die from increased heat damage. Le sigh.

 

So I gave the beast a try. Well, it's beasty.

 

the LRMs are not tied into the same bracket. So this would work just as well. Oh, and it is not affected by the nerf.

We are going to min/max the max on the system it is allowed in.

 

I don't like this one. One of the torsos comes out in.. 5?.. volleys.

this one is also good, though its inferior to the LRM90 Boats:

I think you forgot some heatsinks.

Anyways, here's the build I came up with. Not quite an LRM90, but at east they all still come out in one volley.

Edit: Oops, was at 63 tons. Forgot to put my heatsinks back in when I switched from Single to Double.

 

You can not drop in a mech with less than 10 heat sinks.

My attempt.

I wish i didnt sell my A1 after I mastered the class. Im going to buy it again after seeing this thread.

I predict if you alpha you will instantly overheat and possibly die due to overheating.
