If you love shotguns you will love this mech. Is devastating in city maps appearing between buildings and shooting enemy face or back. In the other hand his weak point is in open range maps as it is a mech with short range weapons. I never start a brawl with my terminator but always finish it. Have fun with this!
I like your build too! I used a XL300 because i have one of them in my stock and is too expensive to buy another XL engine
if you don't have the XL260, don't buy it only for a single build. Use it only if you have it already from the JM6-DD.
After reading up on this, I decided to try this variant: Dropped a DHS and a tiny bit of armor to keep both a BAP and put in a fourth streak battery. My main objective in coming here was to find a decent heavy that could mount at least four streaks. The things can be surprisingly powerful when you dump them on people in quantity, especially when supporting the heavy firepower of the double LB10s. Obviously it's a risky build: You've got to get in close and pound, and if you've got more than one enemy free to focus on you you're probably screwed. But honestly the up close brawl is the way I like to play. Long range poking and prodding isn't much fun for me. All my mechs are built around the principle of "get in close and then make 'em regret letting me get in close," so I'm fine with it. And while the weaknesses in the design can lead to spectacular failures, when it works it can work pretty well.
