this build works best for my B, wouldnt know much else without switching too many omnipods this build runs extremly cool and therefor you dont have to stop shooting
I have run this build a bit. I like it, my only complaint is that you can fit 6ERML in that arm if you tweak it. The downside of 6 lasers is that now you are a little bit hotter, but I find it works well with my play style. Great design, thank you for posting.
I run this same type of build with S arms so I have 3 meds on each arm and no machine guns. It works pretty well for leveling these up. Edit: Right after posting this I went and pulled 4 kills, 4 assists with 789 damage with the build I am describing hah!
For some reason I just can't get the UAC5 to work for me on the Novas. Even running it with the 6xERMLas I felt like the UAC5 was nothing but a secondary weapon. To be honest I think a UAC10 build would do better if you want to stick to ballistics.
In the end, I just don't think the B-arm is worth it. The lack of lower arm actuators restricts your yaw range. Almost anything you do with it would be better served by putting the ballistic in the side torso.
I think the Firepower of this loadout is a bit low for a 50ton Clan Mech. How about trading the MGs for two additional ERMLas and a TC1? Testrun:
How about to only 5 spreaded? http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=180&l=8ca6df2577bcd2a60df94327e5d2d49460023bd7
