VTR-9S "Serious Sam" (AC20, SRM6, SRM4, SRM2, 2xMPL 2xJJ, XL350)

4/5,

There's a triple SRM6 version out there and there's the same build but with 3xSSRM2s and BAP (which I like), this build, however maximizes tubes in the torso, you have to put them in a certain way: 6 then 4 then 2.



The only hard part with short-range victors is getting into position for a shock attack. 80 tons can't tank for very long against clan mechs.

 

Quite good, although I feel the spread on the SRM6 is a little high. Since I now have a spare Victor-9S I am going to try 2x SRM4 + SRM2 then with artemis and see how that works.

 

I agree on the SRM6 spread. You have to be right on the target w/out artemis. 2xSRM4 + SRM2 is what the champion build has.

What are you going to do with the extra ton and free crit slot?

I'd put another ton of AC20 ammo on.

 

Here is what I ended up with. The salvo delay is barely noticeable on the ASRM4 so that is where the extra ton went. I killed a Centurion, Direwolf and or another Direwolf/Timberwolf in the swap. Non-Artemis 3xSRM4 might be as good but I didn't get around to testing that before upgrading.
