The key is the engine. The huge XL lets you twist fast, and also GTFO if you need to. It also lets you run more DHS's at full 2x since they're in the...
MAD-5M seems to be the redheaded stepchild, but I think I found a formula I like...a lot! [MEDIA] [IMG]
[Posted in the 5R section because there's no 5R variant & no 5M sub-forum] Comes in two flavors: XL & STD: [MEDIA] [MEDIA] One of the highest...
Comes in two flavors: XL & STD: [MEDIA] [MEDIA] This is sort of like the mini-4N I ran a few times w/SRM's. I'm not a LuRM fan, even with the ECM...
So far it's a fun mech. 3rd match I hit 850 DMG in the "3Rex". I also like the builds you can put on it. I didn't think I'd like the low arms, but...
I never saw this thread, apparently I'm quite deadly... [IMG] Non-assault, non-clan, un-quirked, IS XL'd uac5/ml build. I've had a few dozen 7-8...
I had a great match today and I was still 1400exp from getting the BASIC efficiencies finished (just purchased the mech Sunday): [IMG] I was a...
This was an odd build I tried after my finger was getting tired (gaussing for 2hrs with middle scroll button = ugh), so I built a 2-button option....
I noticed it had been posted, but they're far from similar. FF vs standard armor, STD300 vs the stock engine, 4.2 DPS vs 4.8. I'm all for speed but...
This is an option for using the stock engine. The extra tonnage gives room for MPL's & the AC20 compliments the MPL range. The idea is to creep up on...
Holy balls I love this for PUB drops! Perfect range for most encounters, high mounts to peek over, high DPS & I rarely shut down. 2nd match I got...
All it needs is bunny slippers to avoid seismic...
I was also thinking about the WVR-6K or KTO-20 mostly because I could take 3x 65-ton mechs in CW against clanners. Two QKD-5K's and two 65-ton mechs...
[IMG] Probably the most basic & focused build here. Very good survivability if you can torso twist & poke effectively. [MEDIA]
I know it's terribly simple, but there isn't a build posted up yet. I was trying to figure out my IS 240-ton dropdeck, but couldn't really fit my...
I'm sure that's an option. However, the point was staying cheap. I also would never go below a 280 engine since this turd is so slow to begin with....
Initially created to help get the efficiencies for other variants, this mech actually works out quite well. I tossed this together literally with...
Okay, technically not "1000", but I think the fact I was using SINGLE HEAT SINKS should count for that extra point, and I don't even have the BASIC...
Most epic match I've played so far, PUGing on alpine assault. Started out unconventional with them claiming the mountain and us staying by the...
I think before everyone throws multiple builds in his face, I think asking him his play style is needed first. The OP's build is an odd mix IMO....
I haven't been using the Firebrand much and the UAC5 change has made it less of a killer, but this surprised the hell out of me. I didn't realize how...
Just barely made it (C-lance), but I've had a lot of matches in the 800-999 DMG range: [IMG] With a not so typical build, mostly to get used to...
The mobility increase of an XL I think is the greatest advantage, FAR overshadowing the reduced survivability. I regularly brawl 1:1 with light mechs...
Hard-fought match! [IMG] I was messing around with direct & indirect builds, and got this after half a dozen rounds on this build. I love it for...
I usually go Head/ST/CT with XL engines, no CASE. I've heard the "ammo destroyed" a million times w/o dying, however when I placed it in my legs I'd...
I have a FB that I love & Black Friday MC left, is the Ilya really worth it? Any idea when the sale ends?
I'm trying almost the same build but with a little more ammo. The only thing I may change is using AMS tonnage towards a heatsink & leg armor. It's...
My experience so far in the trial Atlas is thus: Entire team runs away, spreads out, and ignores the half-dozen reds I'm spotting. Spotting as they...
My first is more of a "had to be there" story, but... At Canyon Network, I'm at the base of the big ramp under theta. A Jenner runs & JJ's from the...
