    Naughty of me, but I haven't actually played this build yet. It's kinda similar to one I run on a Zeus which i find fun & quite effective, hope it works on this mech too. The LRMs are meant to be used mid-range to complement the other weapons (which is pretty much the only way I ever use 'em). Strike with the lasers & tag, follow up with a missile salvo, then shield/reposition/repeat as appropriate.

    Set up your weapon groups how you like; I'm not going to share mine exactly as I use a Nostromo so they won't be much use to most players, but you're going to want:

    1. all LPLs + tag
    2. both LRMs + tag

    Then I'll probably have groups for each laser individually, and the tag on its own.

    Anyway, hope it's a good build. Lemme know if you try it before me! XD

    Why LRM15 and LRM5 instead of 2 LRM10s? Wouldn't having the cooldown synced be better?

    15+5 is lighter. At the cost of a ton, no I personally don't think synced cooldown is that important, not for the way this build plays.
    You did get me thinking though - alternate version with LLs and 2xLRM15, a bit more armour & ammo:
