JM6-S Hammerfall (2x LPLas, 2x LLas, 4x MG, XL300)

Update on the old PPC/LL standard. Not as much range, but, BRUTAL within 400m. Takes out legs like Heidi Klum!

 

Here is what I use:


Thought it best to add it here rather than making my own thread. I've found it to be frankly, sick at close range. But obviously has weaknesses over 350m. On hot maps you do have to be careful with your heat but at mid to late game, this thing is an executor.

 

Solid close range brawler support. I do like the fact that you have ALL pulse lasers, giving you a great (and quick) way to strip specific armor and open up those Machine Guns. Moreover, The AMS is definitely a must in most drop-decks, but, pugging, I rarely use it.

However, the extra two tons of MG ammo? I rarely use that much in a Spider or Firestarter where I get the opportunity to get in close more often. And THREE tons of AMS ammo?? Good god! I haven't seen the mechs with 2x AMSystems run that much.

I would carefully watch your ammo count at the end of each match and see if you can't use that tonnage elsewhere. EG: Extra heat sinks or larger engine.

(I realize now that I sound a little harsh, this is certainly not meant as an attack against you, I simply think you would find you're not getting the most out of your tonnage if you looked at the ammo left over at the end of each round)

For Example, with 3T of MG ammo and no AMS, I would run that build (in PUG drops) with 18DHS (Heat Efficiency of 51% when Elited), @ 86KPH. That 10 extra KPH is absolutely key in a short range build.



With AMS, I'd be running 17DHS (Heat Efficiency of 49% when Elited) and slight armor shaved from legs and head (I've only died from a headshot once in a Jag)



Just my 2¢. To each their own.

Kill on, my friend!

Chatt.
