LRM boating is still way, way better than poptarting.
You will lose your side torsos. I mean, 100% guaranteed will lose one during a game - why would you put ammo there, even cased? No one legs a...
Draco: a) Never use an XL 260, because the XL 265 weighs the exact same amount. Personally, I'd use an XL 255, because that's a very common engine...
I'd honestly drop just under a ton of armor from legs + arms and use that ton to upgrade to an XL280. That gives you an extra 4 kph and lets you put...
I kind of consider it a bit too slow. I basically never downgrade from a STD300 on my 1X, because I've used the 255 on my 4X and it's painfully slow.
Don't use Small Lasers, they're crap. Drop a heatsink and add Medium Lasers.
It just looks underpowered to me. Why not use 3 Large Lasers?
SRM6's are less about alpha, IMO. It's a shotgun that strips armor off everything, but isn't as effective as lots of PPCs at coring someone out....
Lots of weapons groups... "Multi-role" is a misnomer - it should be "no role". The Stalker is a great chassis, but you need to pick a primary weapons...
I always grind it out all the way to Master, because I don't feel like I'm done with the mech until I've got everything unlocked.
PPC DPS shouldn't be the highest for the following reasons: - They're the longest range energy weapon - They have the highest alpha of any energy...
PPCs should not, on any plane of reasonable existence, have the highest DPS of any energy weapon. That is literally my only balancing complaint,...
I'd probably drop a few heatsinks and get a bigger engine in there (XL350, probably).
Honestly, Untamed, some things need to be nerfed rather than buffing everything else. Do you think medium lasers kill roughly fast enough? Then PPCs...
Games die if what's fun isn't also effective. AC/40 builds should be effective, sure, but they should be effective in a different way to a quad AC/2...
I mean, the problem is largely that the DPS of high-alpha weapons is equivalent or superior to low-alpha weapons. AC/2's do 4 DPS, but so do...
Put your ammo in your legs and drop the Case, then add another DHS or a ton of armor.
You don't get more armor with Ferro. In fact, you get more armor with Endo, because you get more tonnage that you can devote to armor. There's...
I use a CTF-3D, and honestly, I'm not afraid of much. Since you're poptarting from minute 2, you have pretty good map awareness. If people are coming...
You can get an XL255 in there if you drop the CASE and DHS. You can move the LRM ammo one to each arm (or both in right arm, since that's the side...
Meh, ECM doesn't really matter at the moment because missiles don't really matter at the moment. PPC poptarts are dominant because they're easy and...
So far, I've only played Hunchbacks and Cataphracts (but all of both, so...), and these are my thoughts. Generally, left-click is my energy group. I...
HBK-4P is the obvious recommendation. A bit of a different playstyle. The 4H, 4P and 4SP are widely regarded as the best Hunchback variations.
I don't really like the ER PPC on that build. I'd rather have an LPL and commit to the brawl. But that's mainly because I don't like PPCs.
You should really run an XL255. It weighs 1.5 tons more, but you get an additional internal DHS, so it's effectively a 0.5 ton commitment that loses...
No words, except this: Why not 5 Flamers?
Yeah, anything under 20 tons of weapons just seems a bit underpowered for a 70-ton mech. Double Gauss is better, as is triple UAC/5 or 2 UAC/5 + 2...
I really don't like AC/40 builds without backup lasers, because you run out of ammo so quickly. If I wanted to run this type of build, I'd drop to...
It's "smurfy". LLas have no close-range penalty, you're thinking of PPCs.
I'd probably run this with a second ER LL instead of the PPC, which would let you put another ML in the head (head lasers are the best
