Snubby build for the panther, srms for added dps/alpha. Even in a fast mech, the low arm snubs can feel like a problem. Potential XL195 for more jjs.

Only real choice with this mech imo is how small an engine are you willing to run and how many jump jets do you need.

For the pop targeters (that's you @Soy ) more jump jets.....

Needless to say watch your heat and don't brawl.

Either way it has nice focused firepower at a decent range and heat usage on a small humanoid profile. As before hit and run. I'm getting 1-3 kills in almost every battle so seems nicely reliable.

Not bothering to remake these as literally identical to my 9R version.

XL 250 version with 1 jump jet.

What I've been running a lot recently uses the CT SRM slots, trying to avoid the impact of the very hot SNPPC on your heat gauge.
If you feel the heat sinks are too much, try the build below.

The "Magnum" forgoes jumpjets and speed traveling with the mediums and heavies. It's heat and ppc velocity quirks allow it to wield the dual HPPCs without overheating too much. This mech is designed to peak out from behind buildlings and hide behind heavier mechs in the brawl. The 30 point alpha will punch holes in armors and blow components clean off of smaller mechs with one hit.

For heat management remember that when you are standing still you dissipate heat faster. This lends itself well to the peak and shoot method, just get behind a wall and poke out on your firing side, quickly fire and then pull back into cover. By standing still you get better heat management and you should be able to fire from 1 spot 2 to 3 times. Take your time and aim, 2 hits in the same area will punch through the side armor of a heavy. The power of this build is the pinpoint damage.]]> 4 PNT-10K "The Tigger" (1x ER PPC, 1x SRM 4, 8x JJ, 250XL) Mon, 03 Aug 2015 15:35:03 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/pnt-10k-the-tigger-1x-er-ppc-1x-srm-4-8x-jj-250xl.9830/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/pnt-10k-the-tigger-1x-er-ppc-1x-srm-4-8x-jj-250xl.9830/ invalid@example.com (Eugee) Eugee

What do tiggers do best? Bounce!

You can jump up onto the HPG outer walls without much trouble in this. I ran an LRM 5 for awhile, but ultimately decided to go with the SRM 4 which is much more useful when a Spider gets sent to deal with the ER PPC sniping Panther up high, plus a single AMS shuts down an LRM 5 most of the time, so you rarely even do damage with it, I find.

It's a very simple mech with a performance directly proportional to how well you can aim an ER PPC.

I like to parallel the heavy/assault lances then hit the enemy from flanks once engaged, and use those JJ's to maximum effectiveness bouncing around through rough terrain and making rapid, quick turns or 180s in combat.]]> PNT-10K "Escort service" (2x MPL, 2x SRM4, 2x AMS, XL250) Tue, 02 Jun 2015 04:39:50 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/pnt-10k-escort-service-2x-mpl-2x-srm4-2x-ams-xl250.8638/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/pnt-10k-escort-service-2x-mpl-2x-srm4-2x-ams-xl250.8638/ invalid@example.com (PyckenZot) PyckenZot Brawling equipment should deter any light on approach, and dual AMS should provide a decent albeit short defensive screen.

Narc your enemies and sentence them to death without getting your hands dirty!
Be a pest! :smuggrin:

Extremely fun spoter, with great emphasis on verticality. You won't be at the top of thee score board but assuming you have a decent LRM backup you can be a great nuisance to the enemy.
The missile range quirk actually comes quite handy, raising your NARC range to 518m.

The build can of course be tweaked, for example trading JJs for more ammo (1.5t is kind of low) and/or armor.
Or even a BAP if you want to pack the complete anti-ECM set.
