I was having trouble with the slow speed. I am used to much faster mechs but I am reworking my S back into this configuration for another go. Thanks for the build and the offer. I will report back after a couple runs.
you can run it with an XL 365 if you want speed, like this: edit: this build is so much fun if it just wouldnt run so extremly hot so fast
Can't build this 'Mech. Lack one critical-slot. Even if I strip the mech in smurfy's and rebuild it from scratch, I still lack 1 critical. Anything they've done to the chassis lately preventing this build?
I actually found out when I tried to build it in-game. Didn't work so I did some experimenting in Smurfy's and came to the same conclusion. Too bad. What I've got is this instead: Annoying that I lack half a ton.
I think all battlemasters had at some point one hand actuator slot added. That is probably that one slot you need.
Just tried this line of thinking out this weekend for a CW drop. I used a massive XL (XL360) for over 75kph after tweak, 600 rounds of SRM ammo in 4x SRM6+A and 3x LLas. I'd use the LLas to poke from range (hooray for the Ghost Heat nerf) then open up with ONLY the SRM's at close range, chain-firing the LLas on open components. Only did one drop in her, but, racked up 5 kills and 900 damage. Not bad for an XL Assault!
