I'm looking for feedback on my planned build, here. Here are some thoughts I have: It is slow. I could drop a ton or two of ammo (if two, one from each type) and/or heat sinks to go up to a 310 or 315, but I won't get it much faster. It is ammo locked, but that's going to be a given. I cannot use an XL engine unless I drop Artemis or drop to 4s, or both (likely both). Just dropping to standard 4s, I would likely not need an XL engine because I could drop the ammo a bit and up the engine. If I drop to 3xSRM6+A, I could make use of the 000B variant instead, but it probably won't affect much. With the quirk system most likely changing this month, I'm not going to consider current quirks at this time. Energy weapons are nice, and might work on a 4xSRM4 or 3xSRM6+A build, but I don't see them as working here. I'm trying for SRM24+A plus LB20, and I don't believe any other IS Mech is capable of doing so (please correct me if I'm wrong). On the clan side, I believe a similar build can be done on the Scorch (and nothing else), but that's not freely available. Of course, on the Scorch I'd try to go with 2 LB20s... Anyway, thoughts on any better way I could make the combo of 4xSRM6+A + 2x LBX10 work? Or on which alternative would be best?
I've been having a VERY mixed run of success with a similar variant running MRM50 + 2MPLas instead of the SRM24A. Same engine. You really don't need quite that much ammo. That's a helluva sneeze though, I may have to try the SRM version for a bit less spread. On the scorch, the double LB20+SRM24 sneeze is a thing yes.
