The K isn't my favorite mech, but I do like the dual AMS and this is my favorite K build thus far. Full damage from all weapons at 270M, and fairly heat friendly if you don't get too excited. If you can get within 300M of a mech, you will have a good time - I also have no trouble killing harassing light mechs with this (2xLPL's in the arms make it easy). The 2xAMS take the sting out of most missile volleys. This is a focused 50 damage alpha at 270M not including the SRM-6 (15 damage, but not focused unless you are quite close). I have played using mostly alphas, and when the heat rises I stick to the AC-20 and SRM-6, and for flighty or high/low targets the LPL's. I like the LPL's because they are damage/heat efficient for prolonged fights (only small lasers are more dam/heat efficient). You can use PPC's instead if you want more range but they are a bit less heat efficient for laying down more consistent damage and of course lose effectiveness inside 90M. The standard K-270 loses no effectiveness at close range. Of course the SRM's have better accuracy/pattern at closer ranges even though they can be used at 270M. They help with keeping damage output high and heat low when people decide to have a face-to-face chat. I chose to dump the XL engine since people really love to focus your AC-20 and I got tired of dying from torso damage when I otherwise would have still had 2xML's, 1x SRM-6 and 1xLPL to play with. There is enough ammo for 28 AC-20 and 33 SRM shots. If you find you run out of AMS ammo more than you'd like, I recommend swapping one SRM ammo for more AMS.
