Inspired by JagerXII, pretty much dominating the launch event tourney with it. Can squeeze one more DHS in by trimming 1t armor, but I find the 15 to be generally sufficient.
Yup. Absolutly a power build. I've been playing this and it's XL variant adding either SRMs or SSRMs since June. As you can see from the ratings the power of the weapon combination didn't catch on on these forums, though. I like those weapons on the AS7-D / -D-DC as well.
Why I still prefer it over the newest fotm ac20 + dual PPC craze. UACs let you cut ppl into half if they try to rush you down.
You can also try this. Armor seems a bit thin but that's because I took it off that left arm because nothing is in there. Basically plays like a huge Centurion that uses that left side to shield and the right side to dakka dakka and pew pew. Use the SRM's to blast any fools in the face that want to get close to you.
never do such smart things, unless the Arms are really hard to hit. If you lose that Arm, your Sidetorso is unprotected from Side-Hits - say goodbye to lose your whole left Half very early.
It's just so tempting! All that armor feels like it is going to waste, and the extra tonnage could be used elsewhere.
With the huge nerf to JJs, it now takes ~3 JJs to get the same benefit as 1 did before for the 733C. I think the compromise for this is to go XL: In reality this only makes the left torso a liability, since losing the right torso with a standard engine made the mech useless anyway. With this you get max speed for the Highlander, max JJs, good total armor, a bit more UAC/5 ammo.
