AC10 ammo increased to 20 rounds per ton, making this BY FAR the most damage per ton of ammo in ballistics. (50 damage/ton higher than AC/5s and AC/2s, 60 damage higher/ton than AC/20s) Semi-recent MPL buffs make them far better than standards if you have the tonnage. The BJ-1 also boasts a 12.5% Cooldown reduction on Ballistics and -12.5% Heat Generation for both Ballisics AND Energy. The AC/20 is coming out of my BJ-1. In goes the AC/10 and MPLs! FIRE IN THE HOLE! Ammo will read as 40 rounds once Smurfy updates.
5/5, I run a similar build. It is good to see that someone else is also doing something different than ac2s, ac5s, or ac20s. I have been using the BJ-1 with ac10 + 4 ML with an XL of 200. Kinda slow but allows me to get 100 rounds of ac10. Thing can be a monster at dealing death blows.
@Chill92 MLas are a good way to pump up the ammo and cooling. I originally was using MLas, but I found that the quick pulses do a great job with the AC/10 to strip components. 800 damage in ammo and better cooling. Also takes full advantage of the MLas quirks. (additional 12.5% cooling on MLas)
I've used this build for a while now and I have to say, why did I keep the AC20 in it for soo long. The AC20 was good, but this build... flows! Excellent!
Lost the Medium Laser quirks, but still has nice quirks for AC/10 and MPL combo. Velocity and Range really being the sales points to me. Not to mention a nice buff for energy with makes a HUGE difference with pulse lasers. BALLISTIC COOLDOWN: 15.00 % BALLISTIC HEAT GENERATION: -5.00 % BALLISTIC VELOCITY: 30.00 % BALLISTIC RANGE: 15.00 % ENERGY RANGE: 25.00 % Plus, the structure quirks. I've been leveling through the Clan mechs a lot lately after begrudgingly abandoning my disdain for Clanners, but I miss my Blackjacks. I've gotta pull this build back out and get my 1k round!
Agreed, I have been running AC10 in my blackjack since the patch improving ammo count. I have had far higher amounts of kills and damage than I ever had with the AC20. The AC10 is a true beast with a lot of accuracy. The +%30 velocity increase makes me do the happy dance every time I shoot Cored many heavies and assaults that thought they could charge the weak little BJ-1....
