Discussion of the TBT-3C variant of the Trebuchet chassis. This variant has 4 Energy hardpoints and 2 Missile hardpoints, and is capable of using a bigger engine than the other Trebuchet variants.

A fast harasser build. The array of Pulse Lasers allows for reduced time on target while still maintaining a good damage output.]]> 2 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 11:17:42 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-mod-a-2x-lrm15-a-3x-mlas-tag-xl255.415/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-mod-a-2x-lrm15-a-3x-mlas-tag-xl255.415/ invalid@example.com (Torabayashi) Torabayashi

This is a variation on my 5N build. I know it comes with a XL 300, but by dropping down to a XL 255 I can fit BAP, an extra ton of ammo (or TAG, depending on which you prioritized), and an extra half-ton of armor. The TAG of course can be placed in whichever hardpoint you choose, but I like the symmetry of the lasers even if it isn't the best for firing groups.

Alternate Build: Drop the BAP to fit an XL 280 for additional speed.]]> 6 Wed, 28 May 2014 20:06:03 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-thunderweather-2x-srm6-1x-erllas-2x-mlas-tag-ams-xl300.5855/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-thunderweather-2x-srm6-1x-erllas-2x-mlas-tag-ams-xl300.5855/ invalid@example.com (Skaugen) Skaugen


This is my current Mech. It's fast enough and has enough Firepower to find and destroy damaged Mechs. And as soon as the Hit Registration has been fixed, the SRM's are much better.
For Long Range (and Zombie Mode ;-) ) there is a ERLLas available.

I only miss Jumpjets at the TBT-3C Model....]]> Mon, 26 May 2014 06:30:43 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-mythweavers-trebuchet-4x-mlas-2x-ssrm2-xl390.395/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-mythweavers-trebuchet-4x-mlas-2x-ssrm2-xl390.395/ invalid@example.com (Mythweaver) Mythweaver


This 'Mech doesn't exist yet. I am 3 Million from purchasing the Engine but once that's done I'll be testing it out.
My intension is to create a fast moving trouble shooter. With the Speed and Fire Power of a Jennerceptor but the Durability of a Medium 'Mech. I will move with the Direct or Indirect Fire Support elements to act as Security (Primary Role) but will Intercept (Secondary Role) Enemy 'Mech's as needed by other Team Mates.
Tell me what you think.

Thanks,

Myth.]]> 12 Thu, 08 May 2014 17:54:42 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-stolen-design-3x-erllas-xl300.5698/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-stolen-design-3x-erllas-xl300.5698/ invalid@example.com (enileph) enileph

So when BAP buff hits, my 7M is going to be a streak boat, which opened up the 7M for SRM6 and ML. 340 XL makes it worth it over another variant in this chassis.]]> 4 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 23:50:32 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-thunderlight-4x-mplas-xl390.4920/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-thunderlight-4x-mplas-xl390.4920/ invalid@example.com (800) 800 mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=60&l=53fbd3dcaaa14d21ef2f49aae3b42724f97dbac5

I ran with this build when I was leveling my Trebuchet's. The PPC is used to engage targets at long range as you work to close the distance to bring the medium lasers and SRM's into range. The XL280 gives it plenty of speed to get where it needs to be in the battle and the AMS gives some insurance from LRM's.]]> 1 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:11:08 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-xenomorph-2x-srm6-4x-splas-std310-xl380.2005/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-xenomorph-2x-srm6-4x-splas-std310-xl380.2005/ invalid@example.com (enileph) enileph
Really fast. Really close range. Really Painful. Really hard to kill.
Add AMS if you want, switch to MLas if you must.

This one is even faster, but cannot zombie.


For those who need extra ammo. I would prefer the speed though. Then again I fire my SRM point blank. Basically just drop one level of engine to gain a ton, repeat if you want more. I think 4 tons is about the most you would need. Remember that you use less SRM once you lost an arm.

This may not be the final incarnation of this 'Mech. It will take a lot more combat testing before it is finished.

This 'Mech is designed to be support for the Direct or Indirect Fire support Team. Using its Speed to gain direct line of sight to enemy 'Mechs. Ensuring a constant barrage of fire, no matter what terrain the enemy places between himself and the main Support Element. I am quite happy with it as it is but I am hoping to shave enough armor to make both energy weapons Pulse. Time will tell.

Try it out and tell me what you think.

Named after Summer Glau's character on Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, because she's hot, runs fast, and hits like a truck. The LLs make for a powerful medium-range hit, and the MLs are more of a backup weapon. Alpha strike until you start running hot, then use MLs if fighting on even ground or just the LLs if fighting on rough terrain. It's not the greatest build, but it satisfied the two requirements I had: 1) be faster than a 325 XL (to make use of the fact it can use it) and 2) be 350 XL or lower (to not be less efficient than a Cicada). The result is a pretty quick medium that hits very hard.]]> 1 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:20:01 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-sprinter-3x-mlas-2x-srm4-xl375.547/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-sprinter-3x-mlas-2x-srm4-xl375.547/ invalid@example.com (skribs) skribs

I personally don't think a 375 XL is worth it in a Mech this size, but I figured I had to do something to differentiate it from my other Trebuchets, and since it can hold a 380 XL, I might as well use it. This is as fast as most lights pre-tweak, unless they max their engines. You can keep up with the light group and deal a respectable amount of damage. The only downside is that while you have the speed and firepower of a light, and more armor, you are also significantly easier to hit. This is fun, but I honestly prefer my 325 XL and jump jets on my 7M (which has otherwise the same build).

Edit: Upgraded to 380 XL because someone pointed out it's the same weight as 375 XL.]]> 1 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:13:48 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-the-thug-2x-srm6-a-4x-mlas-xl300.342/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tbt-3c-the-thug-2x-srm6-a-4x-mlas-xl300.342/ invalid@example.com (Sardugh) Sardugh

Hi there, this is my PPC Sniper Approach for the TBT-3C. All Weapon Slots are filled decently for versatile Range Combat. Group the weapons simply like this:

1. PPCs (Long Range)
2. MLs (Medium Range)
3. SSRMs (Close Range)

You can replace AMS with BAP for better Map Control and to hunt down ECM.Lights.


Alternate TRIPLE PPC Build, if you really need it:
