    I thought AS7-S was just for someone who got a packeage like clan mechs etc, did they mean a MC package? :D was expecting only the centurion, good and unexpected surprise :D

    Time might have come to buy the DDC and another variant, because those hardpoints...4 srm6 + ac20 is a beast ! I didn't even check infos because I would think not receving it .

    Both are. I run the CN9-AH with an AC20 and 3 SRM6ers... quite a punch....

    Sounds like a very slow CN9. Really? I mean yeah, big alpha and such... but always keep in mind a small engine not only means less speed, but also quite some disadvantages regarding your twist speed. Which in turn is needed to secure your precious BFG. I'd say XL235 is the lowest engine acceptable, and only if you're using 2x UAC5 with SRMs as backup, as that build certainly needs the weight.

    Thanks Rem. Now I'd like to have a 'dislike' button.

    With Srm4s it should be doable in a >slightly< less underequipped (ammo and engine) fashion.

    You could also fire a stream of SRM2s like an alternative to the 2ML from the YLW. Ammo usage should be similar to a single AC2 with 200 ammo at close range, so eventually swap some SRM for AC20, or remove AMS and get more ammo and stuff. yeah.

    I'm running a 210XL (because I had one left in my inventory). Although it's true that it makes me slow (runnin' 68 w/o tweak) I had some really good matches with it. But that's me, I always play in a a 4-12 man team. For a loner I bet it's difficult to drive.
    I will (as soon as I have more money) buy a bigger XL and downgrade the SRMs. But for now it works great like it is. No heat problems at all, and still fast enough to keep pace with the many atlasses that are around since the patch. ;)

    Just realised that the CN9-AH is 'id=8' accordingtosmurfy, so they must have had the mech or at least the placeholder already in the game for a loooooong time. (AS7-S = id 216)

    As the AH was already in game pre-YLW it's no surprise. ;)

    As Midnite7175 said - it was removed in another lifetime as the original version invalidated all the other variants. ;)

    How much ammo are you using 2.5 tons of ac20 and srm?

    I've been here since closed beta, but I don't remember this :x Invalidated = such good hardpoints all other variants were ignored or just that it broke the game?

    It was removed once the YLW was released. As a matter of fact this has be done to make the YLW more special, because it then was the only CN9 to wield an AC20. Savyy?


    @Remarius
    Maybe it's easier to post the build.

    Yes, it's slow, yes it lacks ammo.
    But until now it performed well.
    The 17 rounds of AC20 are well placed as well as the SRM6.
    I never ran out of ammo... either killed first or managed to finish the enemy with 1-2 good placed shots.
    This Mech was not designed but hastily patched together. Liked it so much, I kept it like that. For now.
    Coordination with assaults makes it deadly.
    I probably will refit it like this though:

    The CN9-AH was removed from the game at the launch of open beta to allow the Yen-lo-Wang to stand out better from other Centurion models as these two models were the only Cent's able to mount an AC20 in the right arm.

    (Had to go check which model it invalidated. I used the YLW as my first Cent ergo why I never used it.)
