JM6-A "The Jagerbomb" (2x MPlas, 2x AC5, 4x SSRM2, AMS, XL250)

If you have any ideas of improvement let me know.

See you on the Battlefield.

 

Do you really need 150 volleys of SSRM missiles? I really think that half of that amount would suffice and the difference in weight could make you go faster, just a thought.

Yeah. You are propably right. I just hate to run out of ammo.

 

The XL 255 weighs the same as an XL 250, there's also no mech that can run a 250 that can't 255. It's a big expense if you already have the 250, but otherwise there's no reason to buy the smaller engine.

Also, I'd consider downgrading the pulse lasers to standard, the mech runs quite hot as it is. Use the extra tonnage for heatsinks and/or more armor for your legs.

 

Hi there, i gave you 3 of 5 stars. Your Approach has several flaws.

Here the bad things:

1. low Cool Efficiency
2. low speed (by using XL Engine very bad!)
3. relative low Armor
4. wasted tons for too much streak.ammo
5. ac/5 ammo not very much, can run dry fast

At first Glance good Alpha Strike Power, but SSRMs rarely fire with your other weapons at same time and they do spread, so finally bad Alpha Strike Power

The good things:

1. versatile Weapon Setup
2. Good Defense against Lights

My personal take is to go SRMs over streaks. Too easily disabled and for the weight, pack less punch. I prefer the shotgun effect.

4xSRM4 will do some good damage at close range if you wait for the right shot, you can usually poach AMS or ECM off an ally and if not, with a 300 engine, can get to cover fairly easily. Also, since a Jager's cockpit is basically non-existent (I've lost a Jager to a cockpit shot once and I run Jagers often) you can drop a lot of armor. I only run with enough to cover me from LRM and laser splash damage. Also, side torso slots will kill you 9 out of 10 times in a Jager with an XL, so, I usually only run ~60 armor in CT.

The JM6-A is my least favorite Jager, but, I did have some fun with The Shotfun. (as follows)


Just my take on things. Not a fan of streaks and gotta keep some speed. Drive on, Warrior!

 

hey Captain, i like you first config! Very decent, high speed, i think its very viable for 1on1 fights. Thumbs up!
