The Thunderbolt is one of those mechs where I just cannot seem to do anything with it.. but I did finally come up with something that I enjoy and do well with. The idea I got for this build is to take a weapon group for all ranges, to fulfill a certain role. A single LRM15 for softening targets, an AC/10 for short-medium range engagements, and a SRM6 and three medium lasers for finishing the job. Without speed tweak, this mech is kind of slow, however it is possible to upgrade to an XL300 by dropping the artemis system or reducing the armor in right arm and legs. Also it will run hot and may not last very long in a brawl. But it's not that bad as long as I am with my buddies and know someone will have my back. All-in-all I'm still quite proud of this design and would love some opinions and ideas to improve it.
