This mech is so hot you have time to cry if you miss. Edit: 2x LPLas much preferable for anything other than utter camp/snipe strategy... when you know it's going to be alpine. Really tho, even at long range, I'd rather hitscan lase than skillshot.
For weapon group, just make two groups, one linked and the other chain fire. That's how I handle it. Left click cycles through them, right click fires both together.
I agree ... still works. Skilled out is a boatload of fun. If you find heat management an issue, I sometimes run it with a heavy and a light PPC. Of course, you have to stay full away from everyone and if you get caught close by a light you are s**t out of luck, but the heat was at 1.67, which is great rebound.
