They obviously don't know Mechspecs

We all encountered those mechs that were so bad you thought "this dude don't know how to optimize his build, that would not have happen if he knew mechspecs". Well it's time to start a collection.

I got those three Atlas on my screenshot folder.

Small AC, small missile, and not a single laser (just as backup you know)


2 ERLL and 1 (one!) SRM on a D-DC... at least he has ECM and AMS

My favourite: 2 ERPPCs only... come on dude, I have the same build on my spider!

Two or the three are founders (screenshots are recent), I don't know what to think... :unsure:

 

Trying to recreate.
A. AS7-D ATLAS (1x AC10, 2x LRM10, AMS, STD260)

C. AS7-D ATLAS (2x ERPPC, Command Console, STD260) -This one is hard to guess.

The 2xERPPC one is... fascinating.

 

its a waste of assault power hits the nail.

 

I saw an odd Atlas-D yesterday. 3ER Llasers and an AC20. Looked like a modified version of the multi ER Laser Stalker.

 

Well, that is a playable setup I think, we are talking about really bad setup here.
ER Llasers and an AC20

I would prefer the first one.

 

I think too. Not something I'd pilot but at least it has 30t of weaponry.

 

Maybe it's silly but I actually like the fact that not everybody takes the min/max stance to making their mechs. And not just for easy kills. I just like the fact that not everyone who plays a game is that hardcore.

 

That's one of the reasons why I cut the pilot's name out of the screenshots, there's no reason to call names because he's not a dead-end min/maxer.
Still, customisation is one of the major part of the game, even if you're a brilliant pilot you won't do much if your mech is bad (I'm of course not talking about the sub-obtimal fun build we all love to pilot, but mechs with major design flaws).

 

I just saw an Atlas D-DC running 1x LRM20, 1x AC2 and 1x ML.
Very interesting build...

 

Bo knows Mechspecs:

He just doesn't know Diddley

PS - btw the quick shot of Bo running up the street at the camera at like 0:23... honestly he's built like a Trueborn. Just sayin...

 

I quite like my founders Atlas with an AC10 :unsure:

Mind you I did see an Atlas earlier today with just a single AC20. Zero backup weapons. Not even AMS, I'm wondering if he clicked launch by mistake...

 

When you encounter people like that you should tell them... "Check out MechSpecs.com. It'll may save your life, bro"

 

Something like that happened to me before...
Died in a game so I exit and works on building another new mech. Then I launch without switching to my regular mechs. Result is a giant assault with engine and quite a few tons of ammo, no guns, no nothing else...

 

I guess ERLLas in combination with some weak secondary Weapons is a very popular choice for the Atlas

the pros: max Armor + high Speed + suberb Cool Efficiency + plenty of Missiles!

 

Well, not such a bad build. I personally do not like LRM-focused Atlas, but maybe someone can pull that off. I guess he also have BAP on that thing also, though it beats me why there is no AMS, maybe too expensive?

 

Not such a bad build for a Kintaro

 

yeah but in the end he got brawled and he died pretty fast

 

And a decent build for a catapult.

 

Another fun Build!



(2x LRM15+A, 3x MLas, 1x MG)
