    Haven't tried it, just came up with it while messing around.

    Yikes! Lots of firepower, but, waaaaaay too slow. Blackjacks are some of my favorite mechs, but, they are very fragile. They require speed to strike and escape. At this speed, even many assaults can chase you down. I would not advise. It could work if you have a group you regularly play with and you can hide behind some larger mechs and offer some support fire... That's about the only role I think it could work in. :unsure:

    Yeah, it's meant to be a second line brawler support, or for use in the urban or smaller maps

    there is no such thing as a second line brawler. If you want to run this as a brawler, do it with speed. You can even put in 2 JJ in trade for a DHS.

    But if I was going to do that, I might as well just use Cattra Kell's Semi-Shadow Cat BJ build. Though I do see your point lol

    Good build. A lot of fire-power in a fairly small package. Being a 'light' medium mech, its probably best to run this in a similar manner to a light mech, with as much speed as possible. On the other hand, as the builds intended role is that of second line support, a balance can be struck between speed and other characteristics such as armour rating and manoeuvrability. Try this alternative build:

    http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=77&l=31718e7e2da1e340d5126c9d0e3db0209c8673a1

    This has essentially the same fire-power as the original build, but by spreading the weapons throughout the chassis, it reduces the damage loss when any one component is destroyed. The build also packs a pair of Jump Jets, giving it an edge in urban and mountainous environments, as well as an AMS module, which will improve survivability. The builds armour rating is just two points away from maximum, which with the Ferro-Fibrous armour upgrade grants a total armour rating of over 10.5 tons. I initially had an XL engine installed to free up the necessary tonnage for the heavy weapons load-out, as well as more DHS and a further two Jump Jets, but I felt that it would add yet more fragility to a chassis not renowned for its robustness. Running fewer Jump Jets, DHS and adding Ferro-Fibrous armour allows for a Standard 200 engine, further increasing the survivability of the build.

    Hope this helps. Good hunting!

    LPL+LBX-10 can work at full speed, AC10 probably has to sacrifice the MLs.

    If yo-u use the LBX very sparingly only to crit seek you should be fine with the ammo.
