This is a load out that I came up with in smurfy while thinking of a variant that I would like for my new shiny victors! Unfortunately I can't try this out yet cause I don't have the funds for an XL engine, but would someone with the spare engine lying around let me know how they like it? Also any feedback is of course appreciated because this is a pretty raw version. Thanks
The XL 335 is pretty unusal. I'd rather go for the very versatile XL325. Both the XL320 and 330 are delivered when buying certain hero mechs, so maybe this is an option for you as well. Especially the Dragon Slayer - the VTRs' hero mech - comes with a shiny XL330. Regarding your build, I'd be a bit worried about the cooling efficiency. Both AC20 and double LLas will add a lot of heat, especially when in a prolonged fight. As there isn't much space left in your build, there aren't many ways to improve in this area besides mounting a biger engine. How do you like this version? You could even port it over to the 9B.
I do enjoy your version a lot, I just have a habit of using SRM4's cause I have such good luck with them! :blush: Anyways, your version is faster and cooler by a large margin, which makes me very happy, but also retains the main weapons that I wanted in there, and also gives some light hunting capabilities. Mainly I want the LL in there because the AC/20 and SRM's leave you at such a range disadvantage especially on big maps like tourmaline or alpine. I just didn't want to get hobbled and smacked by LRMs and PPCs from targets 700 meters off and not be able to shoot back you know?
i wanted to vote, but not the option i wanted to select -> Cooling! Here my version with 15 heatsinks: i don't need to jump so much with this loadout, so it's ok for me..
Mine from the 1K damage club. I recently dropped one of the SRM6's to an SRM4 to pickup another ton of AC20 ammo. But I havent run out/low on ammo nearly as much since the spawn location changes. Multiple simultaneous fights in different locations on the map just mean I can't fire on every mech.
