been rockin the 2 ERLL with the dual UAC/5,but decided to give this one a spin.
What an incredible build, i just love to tear that armor with those lasers

I had an amazing match where our team had two disc (atlas and griffin) immediately, but still managed to take the match with some awesome teamwork with our lights.

cant seem to put up a picture from my comp :whacko:

 

This thing is one hell of a beast. Definitely 5/5.

 

Quick shout out to this outstanding Firebrand variation!

This is my staple Inner Sphere mech, and can adapt and succeed in numerous situations- even with the Clans stomping around.

Although I put a lot of time into fanceh omni-mechs (or Dragons...) now, I've still had good 1k+ games with this thing in my hands. Every hardpoint is useful and synergistic; the loadout is awesome for quick MLas alphas with a double-tap of UAC 5s for 50pts, before dodging around cover towards another angle. And if you run out of ammo, 6 MLas are great for mopping up anything left (Thus, having potential for awesome prolonged matches!)

It's easy to peek with the arm weapons (and do nice, cool dps)- but remember! This mech is optimal for an aggressive and mobile playstyle. Pilots should focus on hit-and-hide tactics, where you pop cover, alpha an unsuspecting target with minimal exposure, and head back to cover before guns are trained in your direction. Wait a brief amount of time for the target to ignore you and turn away before repeating.

 

Holy crap, this build is insane. Great damage! My first try with it, moments ago.

 

Struggled with my FB builds. 1st match with this - 4k, 5a, 845 damage, 123 match score, 3 weapon groups 3 laser, 3 laser, 2 uac5. Love it, well done!
