What will you be running tomorrow? (Smurfy clantech edition)

Yeah can't understand why people are maligning the Summoner as its a brilliant missile boat.

So far, I haven't created a TC MkVII build yet. Curious to see the diff it can make.

 

This is what I am working on:

I am having trouble fitting everything right now. I have 1.5 tons and 0 slots. I still need the jump jets from the S omnipods (smurfy doesn't support this yet) and ideally artemis and/or active probe.

Its going to "slice, like a goddamn hammer".

[PPSSCPPP]

Edit, went to the S variant and swapped 2 tons of ammo for 2 JJs. I would still try to build this on prime and get a CBill bonus plus the 4th MG.
(sort of like this, but missing one of the MGs, and still 1.5 tons left and no slots)

I ran that in PTS 2, e92. Four SSRM6 kicks behind, easy to go above 600 damage. First out I took it to 850.

Was working at the same earlier today but it was weird, think Smurfy may be off on that Mech.


Anyhow, I was going to do a TC MkVII Mech?

Extra range, +25% crit chance - this should get interesting.

 

Cheers! I didn't get a chance to play either of the PTS. I moved into a new house and still don't have internet. I am purely theory-speccing at the moment Hopefully I'll have internet tonight.

Unless clan SSRM's got nerfed to 2.0 damage, that's where it is 'off'. These are the closest I got to a shadowhawk lighthunter replacement.

Lighthunter was 8 missiles per 3.5 seconds = 2.26 missiles per second.

This would be 16 missiles every 5.775 seconds = 2.77 mps. This would actually be [PPSSPPPP], I had to use the S variant to show the JJs. Swap the MG from the right arm into the CT. I'd also use the lasers in the right arm as that's more familiar to me.

The real replacement would probably be this, but its not enough streak ammo for my tastes:
24 missiles every 7.70 seconds = 3.12 mps. This mech is full, 2 JJs, 3 tons of ammo.

Drop the MGs and some armor would get you 6 tons of ammo.

I think it would be crazy not to run MGs on SRM/SSRM boats if you can. It took lots of practice to time when to build a buffer in the heat capacity of the old shadowhawk lighthunter to use the LLas to finish a mech. With quad MGs, you won't have to buffer and you can slice them right off with no heat.

Edit: S side torsos have +5% missile CD each, had to update my maths.

 

I'll be running some form of Nova for a while. Then on to Adder and Kitfox while I wait for the Stormcrow. I might take a few of the Phoenix mediums out with the SRM fix.

 

I promised Falconium that I would run this for him first thing... Someone is GOING to get their face melted off before I turn into a puddle of molten clanner.

Other than that, I might have time to test a couple Kitfox (Raven replacement) builds.

 

Ratatat!

Ahh be aware that some of the weapons allegedly seem to have linked heat - ER SL and ML are an example. I presumed it was a bug in PTS 1 but never checked it in PTS 2. :blush:

 

Only 75% armor that is too much for you Sniper

 

Going to be running this now. Combination of my 2 fav mechs in MWO the 4SP and 4G

My understanding is that Targeting Computers will not be operational today, so, I will forego the nice perks and wait until they are implemented to re-tweak my builds. However, I am very excited for my 12x ERML Nova, 5x SSRM6 Summoner and 6x UAC5 Daishi. Oh yes. there will be blood.

 

For the privileged men of a distinct social class who simply must have all the UACs.

 

haha, all the first try builds I did during PTS.
- Ended up liking 8erml nova better with +4dhs
- Streak summoner was okay, but man it's hard to wait for the reload, seems to take forever.
- 6uac5 direwolf was perfect as is little weird getting used to the double tap fire vs holding the mouse button down, but i think it's actually more fun with the double tap and you get into a rhythm of raining component death.

 

My insides are already overheating with anticipation!

 

Servers are live. Seeyah inside.

 

Installed, pressing play.

Swedish Internetz is OP.
