Oh, I understand if people don't like Panthers, fine with me. These are very particular mechs, very good at specific builds and bad at everything else. But if those same people say "I have a great idea, I'm gonna mount 2 PPCs on a 35 ton mech" and chose a Firestarter, then this is an awful chassis choice and I think they should give the Panther another try. Because 2 PPCs is one of those build Panthers are so good at, in a way no other light mech can compare.
I've seen 2x PPC Ravens. I can say for sure that the Panther blows those out of the water. Although, that's not being fair to those of us who still run the ADR-PRIME stock.
Ahah, that stock Adder is kind of terrible. Flamer, TC3, what a waste of tonnage. That being said, with only few tweaks 2 PPCs on an Adder works great. I actually piloted it last night, solid damage each drop.
I've almost mastered the ADR-PRIME with it almost stock. All I changed was the removal of the TC3 for more heat sinks. The Flamer is mostly there for nostalgia, and I'm still able to get 500-600 damage games in it.
Piloted by Proton during the MS Invitational match between EmP and Seraphim. I'll quote Bandit on this: "What the f*** is that?!!". But Proton being Proton he still scores top damage, so I suppose we'll call it an experimental build
Impressive. Unfortunately there will be a problem with ammo and/or speed. Either that or really skimmed armor. I would take one less ML and strip a shield arm for tonnage. Features would be a 3x AC5/2 system, ON TOP OF A Gauss/PPC combo. My guess of the build: My suggested changes: Ditch the ML, and more ammo + Bigger engine.
Found a couple more of these last night and this morning. Two UAC/2's and a UAC/5 on an Ebon Jag? Two AC/5's and 2 ML's on a Battlemaster?
The Ebon Jag I kind of understand, the ammo count seem to indicate that it may be intended for CW. Build averages 3.5ton ammo per gun. Would prefer to have 2x cUAC5 1x cUAC2.
With more ammo! That BM only has 2 rounds left, has been beat up quite a bit, but I can't imagine he rolled through 180 rounds already... But, who knows. Could be.
Did we have a King Crab with just three medium lasers on this thread or the old one? Because if we didn't... I shit you not... I'll post the screenshot when I get home. Yup. Here. Seriously, this guy had to have forgotten to re-equip weapons or something, because there is no way to be at weight with just that weaponry:
Probably forgot to reequip his ballistics. I have done that before, swap out the ammo and pull out the guns, then save. Change weapon and forgot to safe.
I had this Dire Wolf in my last match. He stood behind our frontline and threw his missiles somewhere. ~300dmg at the end of the match.
Well in fairness I hate that map for LRM's as so much good cover and that blisteringly small/fast red ECM mech is visible in screen explaining their problem. Not that I like the build but then I hate DWF's for exactly that situation.....
Was in Mining Collective and I saw this Hunchy. He could have come with this build with 250 engine and 4.5 tons of ammo. Have to remember this is probably someone who just started playing and hasn't got a lot of money, at least I hope he is.
For a moment I was disgusted by that C1 build... until I recognised you were talking about the Hunchback.
Indeed, the C1 is bad too. No screenshot, but yesterday I saw several (or was it the same multiple times? iirc I saw it in both solo and group queues) Locust with 4 machineguns and nothing else. One even was on a standard engine.
