Everyone says the K is the worst of the bunch. Maybe, but it has one redeeming factor. It is the cheapest. But it cost the most, you may ask. But that's the XL300, and it's very versatile engine. Counting the price of it and the price of chassis, the K is actually quite cheap and you get to use the XL300 on many many other chassises. You are the second wave, don't be too eager to get into the brawling as you will want to shoot both the LRM and AC. 180-270m is the range you want to be at. LRM lights if you can, but if they get too close rely on your buddies and punish the bigger targets. Heat may become bit of a problem on hotter maps if you try to keep sustained DPS, but you shouldn't need to with this firepower. DoomMachine version# 'close and personal' -LRM20 and 3t ammo (14t) -2 MLAS on arms (2t) Total 16t +SRM6+Artemis and 1t ammo (5t) +2 LLAS on arms (10t) +1 DHS LT (1t) Total 16t
Upon further testing I realized the the version 'close and personal' is working better. The single LRM20 wasn't enough firepower to warrant the drop of LLAS and SRM6. The LLAS retain some sort of ranged combat while the SRM6, even as a aingle launcher, work in satisfactory manner in close ranges, where the LRM is useless.
If you want to really run support, here is how I would do it. PS, mod your OP to include the ML and the STD engine rating
