Thought I might start it for the Atlas it needs some love so I will start. I used a AS7-D weapons were 2 ER large , 2 medium lasers ,LRM 5 , LRM 10 and a AC 20 with a Standard 300 engine 18DHS no Ams 1771 damage.
Hello. As my first post ever I'd like to forward my application for this club. I ran an AS7-D-DC with 2 large lasers, an AC20 with triple SRM6 (no Artemis). Standard 335.
Just barely made it (C-lance), but I've had a lot of matches in the 800-999 DMG range: With a not so typical build, mostly to get used to such a slow chassis & have fun:
Blast from the past Have no idea what loadout i was using...most likely stock And two from recently (2xLBX-10/2xASRM6/4xMLas/STD325)
Its not hard too get it in a DDC as the ECM helps a lot but doing over 1000 in the other variants is a serious challenge.
Challenge accepted. Although I agree, the gameplay is much faster and the Atlas isn't up to the challenge at the moment. It should get a armor boost, IMHO.
Yes it is now, also with the introduction of the DW it has become that much harder too keep alive long enough too deal out that damage. But if you know what you doing you can bring the pain when it is needed.
I dusted off my AS7-D (F), the first mech I fielded two years back and got back in the saddle with eight games or so. Averaged 450+ with one game going for 960 odd damage. It's doable but it will take effort. The K will be the most difficult but we'll see. I will update this post with screenshots and summaries. AS7-D: 960 AS7-RS: AS7-K: AS7-D-DC: AS7-BH: AS7-S: 965 Beyond doing this cause it's a fun task/challenge I want to see how the big guys fare in the clan invasion. Long time since I seriously played my Atlas.
Indeed the other variants who do not have the ECM come with a high skill set because now they can see you and target you. The K will be the hardest of them all due too its lack of Hardpoints. At the end of the day its how you play the Atlas. Most people assume because its a 100 tons and has lots of armor it can crush any thing, Well in Lore yes but here nope, you gotta know when too attack and not cause once you commit there is no going back. I piloted an AS7-D for 6 months purely due too the fact its my fav Mech in BT. But any one who thinks a Atlas is a easy mech too pilot its no where near easy.
Just fast forward to end if all you want to see are the numbers. 1277 dmg, 8 kills. Got my Ace of Spades achievement too.
got my first 1000+ with an Atlas-s with 4Mlas,4srm4, ac20 and AMS. don't know how to post the screen shot though..
Actually ran out of ammo on this one. I love this build though it does so much damage and so many kills.
