JM6-A Bait n Switch (2x LRM10+A, 1x LBX10, 2x ML, AMS, XL260)

5/5,

So there you are, happily applying some LRM love, when they show up. You know who they are, those pesky lights. This build can deal with that.

I built this to level out the Jager A. I've been having fun with LRMs on other platforms, and the LBX wasn't doing it for me as a primary on my S (I like ranged play more), so I decided to fit it out as a backup weapon. I... kind of suck at this game, so no great scores to share, but scattering lights when they show up around the missile boats is fun, and if someone decides to charge the missile Jager, the MLs + LBX backs people off pretty well.

XL260, because that's what I have. MLs for additional close support. AMS because, missile rain, we hates it.



Edit: after a bit more playtime with this, I think swapping some LRM ammo for BAP is worth considering. Tweak the last half-ton with ammo as desired. AMS always seems to dry up, so that'd be my choice I think.



First post, don't hurt me.

 

I actually really dig the idea. Personally, I love the LBX too much to pass up, so I'd prolly split 1/2 ton of LRM ammo from the original build for one 1/2 ton of LBX. Gives you 37 shots of crit-delight with a solid 1350 LURMS.

Dig it, man. Way to think outside the box.

 

Interesting. Without Artemis, the 2 LRM10s weigh 10 tons. 4 x LRM5 would weigh 8. As long as the Artemis is there it is a moot issue. But you would save 4 tons by dropping the Arty and going to 5s, and Spam missiles much faster. A little less accurate, but the trade off should be worth it.

 

Played two matches, already in love.

 

As poorly as Jagers take ST damage, a STD engine is always preferred in my mind. So, with 4x LRM5s instead of 2x LRM10+A, drop AMS, and you can add FF and take a STD255 w/ 40 rounds for the LBX and 1280 rounds for your LRMs, which can now either fire a cluster of 20 LRMs much quicker than the 10-racks or you can chain-fire for near constant annoyance if your opponent is not running AMS.



Same idea, a bit more efficient and much tougher.

Chatt.
