Possibly the best way to put at good use both ECM and PPC quirks. Never alpha strike to avoid ghost heat, always left side poke so you can fire first 2xHPPC followed by the final and last HPPC.

ALT: LE280 version for those who don't like XL engine, but IMHO the additional speed and cooling is always worth compared to almost to none dissipatio due to right side loss (and if you lose the left side torso, you are left with no weapon, so there is little to no reason to use an LE engine)

Nice! I want to try it.

I am running XLs on all but LBX brawler Warhammers right now because the increase in survivability with light engines typically doesn’t lead to firing many (if any) more effective shots. XLs always have a cooling or speed advantage which can give a greater edge for the entire time the mech is alive, compared to surviving some matches for a few moments more.

 

Heavy-hitting.
