    Ok guys,

    so I am new at this, not at playing MWO, but at posting builds (been using Mechspecs to get ideas for builds for a while).

    so here's my go at a build and it's my first Jager I got: the JM6-A.

    Thought to get this one out of the way first and then get on with the more fun Jagers.. How wrong I was, I love this Mech now.

    With the 20 SRM's all fired in 1 weapongroup and the Gauss rifle as the second weapongroup, the controls are easy, yet you dish out amazing damage at close range and you don't have to worry about the new "heat penalty" either.. I bring my coolshot along for each match, but haven't used 1 so far in 43 matches.

    Hope to hear some thoughts, but I am laughing my socks of in the meantime.. :rofl:

    Welcome to Mechspecs, I hope you enjoy your stay.



    An interesting build, I don't think I would run it on this mech. It might do better in a Highlander, but as it stands, HSR is quite bugged. Lasers are the only weapons that really work, so it's always good to have a few. Post some screen shots, and show us it's potential in 12vs12.

    I actually like the SRM6/SRM2 combo to avoid the heat penalty. Interesting idea. The cooldowns of each weapon type are different, however, you can still rip them all off without penalty...

    @Vergere the problem with the build you propose is that you get the new "heat penalty" every time you fire those srm's all at once, whereas with my build you fire the same amount of srm's for less heat, at the same weight..

    @Cpt Chattahah true about the different cooldown rates, I sometimes fire only 2 srm's when I want to fire 20 :mellow: but hey, when I kill a Jenner in 1 alphastrike, it's all worth it.. No screenshots yet but I have 43 battles 49 kills, some battles over 700 damage and average over 400 damage..
