As fo right now I'm fairly certain the energy range quirks are up to 25% more now, so you'll have even LONGER range.
Yeah I still have this build from the day Battlemasters hit in the pack ... using the 400XL from the Boars Head.
This build really works. If you can stay away from the enemy, lets say 1200 meters, it helps to avoid any problem with the XL400 engine and still do a significant amount of damage. Have a lot of matches with +1000 damage. Also, you can use a STD 340 engine if you dont like the XL. Five stars for me.
I use the same 4erL build with a 325 standard engine and the command console. It works really well for CW against clans, with the 911m laser range. The console helps the advance zoom to aim a specific torso even at 1500 range. The weapons and cockpit are really high mounted on the mech so find a ridge and snipe.
3ERLL, 22 DHS, TC3, you can alpha 16 times without overheat with this one _ 21 DHS, TC4, XL _ 19DHS, TC6 _ 18DHS, TC8 _
