    I have been running the 3xAC2 version of this Dragon since first day I could afford it. Suffering the continued decline of its impact with every tweak to the AC2 and the introduction of Ghost Heat. After today's patch, which slows the AC2 down and decreases it's range... time for a new 3B mech.

    Unfortunately, the only way to load three ballistics into this Dragon is....


    Speed is your friend, as is the constant fire rate.

    For those that fight in volcanos, plenty of options to up the heatsink count

    you can also use 2 AC5s and a machinegun, or an AC10 and 2 machineguns.

    I hate loading two types of Ammo... getting balance right drive me nutz.

    as a "by the way", the AC5 and UAC5 needing two types of ammo makes no sense.

    I am running this with the stock 300 and it is somewhat interesting. I need to 2x Basic it before deciding on my final engine choice.

    I have 2xAC5 and 1xAC2 in mine, it works like a charm. Not as much ammo as I would like, but it's enough :D

    P.S. Did I mention it goes over 90 with spread tweak?

    Balancing ammo of machineguns + other ammo isn't hard.

    2-3 t per autocannon
    1 t per 2 machine guns

    done.
