Maximum armor except head, most efficient damage/ton weapons, plenty of ammo, plenty of cooling. Thanks to the new change to ghost heat group, this will probably become the best way to fit this mech. ALT: fit a cLAP instead of half ton of ammo to better harass the ECM'd harassers
I've actually checked the MicroPulse builds... I'm not sure my cERuL is worth it: it loses in both maximum DPS and sustained DPS due to "better" range. 9xcERuL + 6xMG: 22.20 firepower, 13.20 maximum DPS, 9.17 sustained DPS 6xcuPL + 6xMG (XL180, decent armor): 16.80 firepower, 13.71 maximum DPS, 9.70 sustained DPS 7xcuPL + 6xMG (XL180, no arm armor): 19.50 firepower, 15 maximum DPS, 9.69 sustained DPS Uhm... By looking at the stats the 6xcuPL is still king of DPS and the best armor compromise... Additional 6 damage alpha strike and +70 meters optimal range IMHO is not worth it for such loss in DPS.
