HBR-B "Caterwaul" (3x cLRM10+a, 4x cERML, cAP)

5/5,

1 rating

Form the clouds, call the rain. Heat efficiency looks low, but if you're firing the LRMs it should be nearly heat neutral. Firing the lasers alone is about 40% without basics.

Important note, you can do this on the HBR-B and it comes with Artemis. I didn't check the other two to see if that's the case.

Edit: DERP! Forgot the cAP. Fixed.

 

Broke a grand in this, I have about 16 battles total- finished the prime, the B, perhaps should have started with the A, kept the B, but was not sure if this chassis was a keeper in the first place- ecm good, but not always a game changer.
I have seen so many recommend leg armor 25-35, I always, always target the legs on any HBR I see, if an alpha of 20 turns them orange, I know they skimped.
The arms...the arms..they are bait, let someone how actually uses the lock to get excited and focus on my quickly yellow/red arms.
figured I'd sell the prime- buy the last one due to the double xp this weekend. This is really a decent heavy chassis for 200-600 meters in pugs.
The Timber brings more damage, more tank, and more focus. I've stood behind crabs, dires, atlas and was totally ignored.
My stats for this build look GREAT early on. We'll see what 500 battles bring. Averaging 1 kill per battle, avg 425 damage, KtD ratio1.83, 1.50 win ratio. (yes, bit of a statmonkey)

 

well, the battle I ran immediately after posting.
I'd still trade this and my stormcrows for a kintaro-18 with ecm hehe

 

@That Dawg that looks like a great build, i gues the small lasers are for chasing lights?

 

Been using a similiar setup to @That Dawg to great effect!

 

Great fun as a support mech, stick with the Assaults, TAG enemies bring down LRMs and provide ECM. oh and a bit of pew pew too.

 

one ton...what to do with one ton....
I raised the armor up in the arms but to what point? Not enough for shielding really so another ton of ammo? or a pair of smalls hoping when I get locked by an incoming light, he doesn't really think about the loadout, he just looks and sees a boat load of something, those arms are more like the Skinks tail...

 

Yes they work for me, the also add a bit of low heat punch when someone gets in your face.
