I like this loadout. At the moment, I'm with m0th on the 300XL for the extra speed, but we'll see what happens when I get the Elites done. I know it...
Sweet. That looks pretty solid. Fair enough with the heat sinks given that the PPC is your main weapon. You can mess lights up pretty good with the...
Staying away from anything sharp seems to be a good idea in any Locust, what with their paper legs... This does look like quite a useful tactical...
Looks ok, but 3 tons of MG ammo is probably excessive, and you're missing out by not having the third SSRM launcher. Maybe drop a ton of MG ammo and...
Variations on this theme do seem to work well on the 2H, but do you need that many heatsinks with a regular PPC? Also, where's the BAP for the SSRMs?...
Well, after some testing I can say that "Mr. Brawly" is very survivable. I found it a little slow though, and ended up moving to a 325XL to make it...
Well, for a start you have 16 slots free, so there's no reason not to put Ferro-fibrous on it. That gives you some extra tonnage you could use to go...
A STD version doesn't sacrifice too much: [MEDIA] There's enough firepower from the Large Lasers that 2 tons of SRM ammo should get you through...
[MEDIA] A fast striker/light hunter that can protect the flanks or use its speed to get in behind heavier mechs in the brawl. AMS (+0.5 tons...
I've been running this recently with good success: [MEDIA] Downgraded to an SRM4 to make room for another ton of LBX ammo, which is handy in 12 v...
As a fan of the "Pepperdoggy Special" I'd be interested to hear how you go, Pepper. I have to confess that while the OP represents the "optimised"...
Some 350XL options that trade AMS and JJs for more heat sinks and longer-range energy weapons: [MEDIA] [MEDIA]
I was a bit dubious about this combination at first, but having played it I've gotta say it is pretty effective. It doesn't do any one thing...
Thanks Archwright, it's the most fun I've had on the 1N (and probably the most success as well). I like that it plays differently to the builds I...
Hey Scromboid, I like your thinking here. I have found myself similarly frustrated by lights in the Master Shake - as good as it is against heavier...
No problem. Since you mentioned Torso Twist speed, I had a little look into that as well. The formula seems to be: (Engine Rating/Tonnage)*20...
Some quick estimates I made trying to follow the linear engine formula: 175 - 141.8/155.9 kph, 100.31 deg/sec turn speed 180 - 145.8/160.4 kph,...
This does look like a nasty combination. Leg armour looks dangerously low though, especially if you're jump-turning in a brawl, so I'd strip the...
Do you need the Medium Lasers with 4 Larges? I'd consider dropping them for AMS + 0.5 tons more leg armour. Solves some of the heat issues, in that...
LIAR! ;) [img] Had great fun running with Archwright and a couple other guys on today's MechSpecs Mayhem.
Well, looking at the maths from yesterday, a dual Gauss hit on a fully armoured cockpit has a 17% chance to crit for enough damage to kill the...
After reading the link you posted I had a quick play in Excel to see if I could figure out what you observed in the vid, and here's what I'm thinking...
I tried dropping a couple JJs for another DHS last night because I find those MPLasers run pretty hot. Seems to be working pretty well so will...
I have a question that hasn't been addressed here, if anyone knows the answer... So 33 points will destroy a fully-armoured head outright. However,...
I've actually just picked up a QKD-5K so will have to try this out - I do like a good pulse laser build. Sadly it'll be a while before I can...
Dual ERPPC XL version: https://http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=40&l=294d7466c99b42a180b1ade88816d91625c16e7d ERPPC/PPC combo Std version:...
I ran this on the 1N when I was levelling it, I think I just ran a 300XL and slightly less heat sinks. It's a good build in the fire support role....
"Henpeck". I like that. This chicken does have a sharp beak though. You just need a good corner to poke your arm-of-death around.
Erm, http://www.mechspecs.com/forum/index.php?topic=3396.0... Great minds I guess ;)
[MEDIA] Have been running this loadout on the 5J recently. Racing round the battlefield, flying gracefully through the air, dispensing green delight...
