Hey, here is my variant of the quad SRM4 Jagermech. Try to get a balance between firepower, speed, heat efficiency and a adequate amount of ammo.
4-5 stars. Simple, elegant, and plenty of ammo. If it had a bit more speed, it might really be worth it.
Hey Blagg, good idea to upgrade the ML into LL. The combination of 2x SRM6 and the LBX10 should also be enough for the close combat. I'll try your variant promptly. Thx for the suggestion
Hey 1nRage, Blagg, i tried your builds a while back when the SRMS weren't working properly. I didn't stick with them for long. But, recently I went back to it and it is giving me, to my surprise, a lot of fun! I did some changes and this is what I came up with. Lose the lasers completely for more ammo as I find I don't really use them much and am constantly out of SRM ammo. A good close range brawler to support the other heavy hitters of the group.
If you want to go All-In with Close Range Devastation then you should go for Max Crit and stick to the slower Assaults as Bodyguard:
Thanks for replying. A great variation there Blagg, I actually came from a similar twin lb10x built but find it too hot for my trigger finger. I compromised firepower for better cooling efficiency and speed which suits my fast-flanker play style quite nicely. For group drops, the twin lb10x is probably better optimised but for pug drops, the higher cooling efficiency and top speed DO help in making quick adjustments on the field. You have to use the terrain to your advantage, like an ambush predator, else you will easily get killed by long range weaponry.
SRM6+A is nice but 4x SRM4 is in my opinion more threatening. lower CD, almost equal missiles and spread. Give up the MPLs (too hot with quad SRM4s anyway) for MLs and bump engine up to XL300 for best balance imo. Also readjusted SRM and LBX ammo. 60 shots on LBX is often too much, even if it's not purely a finisher weapon. for missiles you always need at least 25 missiles per tube.
Just tested my variant, nice first round ahah could have scored more but ran out of both LBX and SRM ammo.
