Hi all!! This is my BJ1 build. A lot of ammo , STD for resilience and jumpjets....what else can we wish?
It's a good loadout (great ammo supply) and can tear some things up if you stay with your heavier lance-mates, however, in my mind, it doesn't really fill the Medium/Support mech's role. With the lowered speed, you cannot chase down most mediums, let alone lights. Moreover, you will have just as hard of a time getting to cap points as a heavy or even some assaults. To top it off, mobility is survivability with a lightly armored mech. I do like the Standard engine, but, you're still a sitting duck at that speed and most good pilots will disarm you and pick off those AC/2s in an instant with an easy target.
Hmm so infact you dropped 2MLs from stock build to put in all the other nice stuff like a slightly larger engine, DHS, ammo and Armor. Ok, not great but ok. My Suggestion with 6tons (!) of Ammo for endless Direct Fire Support from Distance: Alternative with max Mobility: Blagg
I just re-rated this thread. Five stars for that second build! Awesome build! That speed an mobility, in my mind, is the greatest addition to survivability you can get. I feel the faster engine/twist speed and Jets will help you survive more than full armor and less maneuverability. And you've still managed to add in more firepower AND more armor into the second build. 5 Stars. Would drive. Chatt.
thanks for the opinions and advice. I'm still testing the second build, I am having good results. Although as you said, you have to be close to the heavier. For light, the MPlas help, but keep an eye on the heat I'll try all the builds you suggest to me and then I review them all. thanks to all guys!!
