A heavily optimized build. No critical slot nor kilogram is wasted. Ammo is just enough (if you airm properly) and heat is managable.

53 damage almost completely pinpoint coupled with ECM and good speed for a "nimble" 75 tonner.
According to MechDB, it can alpha strike 3 times before overheating, so you can either run around alone and assinate anything you can manage to sneak up, or simply stick with your team and suprise them with such brutality.

Only 2 tons of ammo.

Notable quirks:
  • Total AC20 cooldown -15%
  • +10 armor on every torso
Total -15% AC20 cooldown means it will sync up very well with MPLs.
If you are worried about your huge side torsoes, that's were both ECM and mech geometry will come in aid.
ECM will help you from getting locked from afar and will slightly help you to prevent being targeted close range... Most importantly, it will greatly help to cover up your push / deathball brawl attempt.
Huge side torsoes won't be an issue if you do torso twist, because you can tank with your right side torso with little to no consequences: even with your left side torso only you will be cool enough to keep on hammering your foes with the only big downside is the speed loss, but at least you are still alive.

So you should play this mech similarly to a marauder: alpha, shield with right side, repeat... But you also have 3xJJ and ECM to play...

With this build the TNS-4P became one of my favorite Thanatos variants. It's useful at any range. I have a lot of fun with this mech.

At long range use ER Large Laser only, at close range AC/20 and Medium Lasers, mix in some ER Lasers if you have some heat to spend.]]> TNS-4P "eat that" (1xMRM40, 1xAC20, 4xML, ECM, LE280) Thu, 31 May 2018 07:42:43 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tns-4p-eat-that-1xmrm40-1xac20-4xml-ecm-le280.14500/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tns-4p-eat-that-1xmrm40-1xac20-4xml-ecm-le280.14500/ invalid@example.com (dranozir) dranozir ]]> TNS-4P "Hide those Hitboxes" (1xHPPC, 1xMRM40, 2xML, 2xMG, ECM, LE300) Tue, 12 Dec 2017 14:35:49 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/tns-4p-hide-those-hitboxes-1xhppc-1xmrm40-2xml-2xmg-ecm-le300.13463/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/tns-4p-hide-those-hitboxes-1xhppc-1xmrm40-2xml-2xmg-ecm-le300.13463/ invalid@example.com (Cthulhooligan) Cthulhooligan

I really want to like the Thanatos, but dem hitboxes :cry: Tried this out last night and finally broke 1000 dmg. Stick your right side out and apply 55 points of pain. You could mirror this for left side with hard hitting ballistics instead of missiles, but since I'm right-handed, left side peeking just always ends in disaster for me.

ML and MGs for if they're within your PPC minimum range, but if you're brawling in a Thanatos then everything has gone wrong.]]> TNS-4P "Jagermech?"

This build uses a LE300 from the TNS-5P (or any other LE300 you may have in your garage). If you have that, this build costs only the price of 4ML and some armor/heat sinks. IF you don't, a LE300 is great, but costs around 3M C-Bills.



Same idea as the stock build, but by downgrading to a Light300 you are a lot less fragile.]]>
