Your most cringeworthy builds.

Yeah, the jenner is one of the cases where one of the variants is strictly worse than all the others. The AS7-K is another, but there are enough variants that you don't have to buy it. And hey, maybe someday you'll run into that full lance of CPLT-A1s and have a use for a second AMS....

 

The stalker have a double AMS variant too if you want that, but other than a slight reduction in movement angle everything is the same. Better use that stalker.

And if you are facing full lance of A1 then D-DC is still a better choice.

Speaking of which, stalker-4N is a totally crappy variant too. One less missile slot, and not even an extra module slot for that.

 

Or the Raven 2X. Compared to the 4X, you trade 2 ballistic hardpoints for 2 energy hardpoints, and just give up the jump jets for nothing. It's not even generally a good weight trade, since the 2x needs heatsinks just as much as the 4x needs ammo...
And compared to the 3L, you trade a missile hardpoint for an energy hardpoint, and give up ECM, a larger max engine, and an extra module slot. I'm sure with enough alcohol that can seem like a good trade off, but for anyone even remotely sober it's clearly terrible. And that's ignoring the Jenner-D, which trades "being a raven" for an extra missile, a bigger max engine, AND jump jets.

 

If you want to farm even more XP, throw TAG on it as well.

 

Ignore 3L cause that is like the super Raven. At least for the 2x and 4x in raven you are doing a trade... 2x MG may be useful, or maybe it would be sueful in the future when other small Ballistics come out.

In the Stalker case, you get NOTHING in return... you just get shafted with one less hardpoint, you don't even get a AMS slot as the reward, let alone a Ballistic slot. You get NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL. Only a jerk would even think of buying this.
In ther Jenner case too... as an extra module is not going to do much on average compare to a hardpoint... much worse than extra AMS even.

 

OOOH OOOH new one! Highlander with 4x LRM15s and NOTHING else...My freaking Orion VA has that AND a large laser or 2...pathetic

 

... but.. but...

So much ammo! And zoom zoom! How can anything be bad with ammo and zoom zoom!? What do you mean "lights will get inside the 180m limit?"

 

I saw one not five minutes ago on a CN9-AL. 4xSML, 2xLRM15. Max engine, I think STD275? Had to be a standard because one of his sides were gone, and he was running 98 KPH so he must have had max engine with speed tweak. Jesus that thing barely had any ammo on board and was practically useless. I could have fit more firepower on a locust and still be effective.

 

This was one the most hilarious things I've ever seen the other being a 6x flamer stalker

It was beyond useless.

 

Just saw this guy... about the most short range Muromets that can be built.. he did get one kill, but really had difficulty getting close quick enough without dying =).

Replace the SLas with Flamers, and the LRMs with 2x NARC and we are talking!

 

What is this I don't even...


No JJ. It wasn't a maxed engine, based on his speed I'd guess XL325 without tweak, smaller if he had tweak. He died to side torso destruction, so it had to be XL. And the only way he used the UAC/5s was to hold the fire button down and jam them.

Now, talking about troll build.
Not sure about the 2 flamers, but at least one, and the 6x MG sounds cool.
I think he is using standard instead of XL though, or he will have tons and tons left.

 

there will be a day, when Narc will be OP. Then don't wonder if you'll see something like this:

NEW ONE!

Saw this guy tonight...Didn't even have JJ, Artemis or BAP (could tell no BAP because he wasn't countering point blank ECM). I swear its almost like he forgot to finish the build.

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=72&l=f690aaba739202d09239fbfce61d512b4ef18860

 

Okay Ive gone beyond cringing and gone straight to outright raging...HORRIBLE HORRIBLE build but the idiots on my team were so horrific that they allow THIS to rack up over 800 damage...THIS!
I gave him the benefit of a doubt about the BAP.
Its not the combination of weapons I mind they would be awesome...ON A FKING MEDIUM!

You should also post this in the Atlas pilots lost their mind thread...

 

It is a decent build on a shadowhawk actually. Maybe I should try it.

Came up against a couple of gems this week:


I had this build on my team a few weeks ago as well. He ran out of ammo about halfway through the match and decided to return to base to defend it from being capped.

And here's another great build, for a ShadowHawk:

I don't even want to try to figure out what their thought processes were in the mechlab.
