Strong arms to fire up and down decently and with some range, and a core of 5MLAS, that can survive a lot with std engine and almost full armor but legs (so few shot them anyway with torso being so big) 2T AMS ammo : http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=155&l=33ebc517ca38cbc98d6afc2a6528e867c7d9b970 3T LBX10 ammo : But I prefer version 1, gonna need that DHS and it has 0 slots left
I put version 1 together since I'm saving up C-Bills for something else at the moment, and had the spare equipment lying around...I liked it, but with the speed it's missing, I didn't feel like I had much punch compared to the other mechs on the team. It still did alright (and, admittedly, I'm nowhere near as good in a Heavy as I am in a light/medium), and worked as a solid build for the match. With that LBX, it definitely runs well on the hotter maps, I got a few kills on people who got shut down. Probably what I'll use for a while on this mech.
Yeah, I build this to try this mech while staying cheap, basically I just bought Endo Steel Structure. For an heavy 44 alpha isn't so bad, just that having 5mlas it really kicks in at 270m and on some maps it isn't so easy to get that close on a slow and big unit like this one. I also have another version which is doing pretty good.I posted it here : http://www.mechspecs.com/forum/index.php?topic=6428.0 che it out if you liked this one, for me it's working cheaply as well.
