No ecm, an XL, and no faster than a Jenner.... and this one was shocking.... [img width=376 height=195]http://i.imgur.com/Qf9gaIT.png[/img]

Holy shit, that's probably what he did, but to save money, kept the stock engine: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=47&l=d8493bcf444020a1616bbc7256fe5d78791f097e
Just saying.... the spider with only CT mounted energy weapons... I once had a match where I killed the last 2 heavies and a medium solo in it at close range despite mounting a single ER LL. Was utterly exhausted after spending something like 4 minutes doing it - spent most of the time in the air. Never stopped moving. Didn't realise everyone had been watching enthralled so was incredibly flattering when loads of people on both sides congratulated me after. Was ironically the match I mastered it so I retired it on a high never to be piloted again. I remember it positively but thats definitely only for that one match.
I was really astonished when i saw this loadout on the brandnew QDK-IV4: What a Waste! Or this underpowered Banshee 3E, which can load something like 3x AC5 + 2x PPC: http://i58.tinypic.com/m7es82.jpg[/img] Why? and this one is awesome: http://i59.tinypic.com/4s1qh3.jpg[/img] reingeneered via Smurfy: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=140&l=9dc7e14de281fb099d21657b0a1d3620c95726fb It's not even bad!
Last night I saw this build on my team. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=158&l=af6a98e68e7903d885a763abda879dccf640ac54 Since we had tanking big guys, he just rained on them the entire match and did 998 damage, more than me. Cringeworthy, yet effective with a good team.
Theres a few mechs in this thread people have lambasted but in a lance structure aren't bad. Seen a few IVY-IV's used as maneuvarable LRM batteries. Usually with 2 ML backup weaponry though.
I didn't get a screenshot of it, but yesterday I managed to find a Banshee with 3 ERPPCs and a Gauss rifle. He would alpha fire all three PPCs at once, building up 80% heat, then be stuck firing only the gauss for several seconds. The same guy ran off alone, got surrounded by 4 lights on Forest Colony, and torn to shreds. 70 damage. /facepalm
It was more the build...80% heat on an alpha doomed him from the start...he could barely afford to fire his weapons in the first place, much less when pressed by several mechs.
The engine size and other things are a guess, and the MLas is just added. But when I saw it it is indeed 2x PPC, 1x Gauss, 2x AC2, and I cannot think of any other way to run this without XL and still have some ammo (alternative would be STD250 with no extra DHS). Oh, he die fast, getting ganked, alone, in the frontline.
Last night Blagg and I encountered this HGN-733C: three LRM20, a TAG, and nothing else... It actually might work in a lance with a spotter and other mechs to cover your ass at close range, but this guy was alone on the island, miles away from his first teammate. We got under 180m range and... well, you know what happened.
