So yeah, came up with this, seems quite good. Gonna try it out as soon as i log on.



Alternative Std engine version.

 

NICE!
It's a jumping Thunderwub! Here is my take depending on its XL friendliness.

XL


STD

 

Yours is quite a bit better, I just took these engines because I had them around.

 

I do the same thing. But if you have the Cbills it's a good excuse to buy a specific engine for some builds so you always have them ready.

 

I am running this variant.



I have the following Modules:
Mech - Target Info Gathering
Weapon - MPL Cooldown & MPL Range

This thing needs Laser Range quirks fast. Even with the modules its still feels its too close range for me, but thats just because I love my Thunderwub I guess.

 

Question: why run BAP instead of an XL325 and an extra DHS?

 

I run BAP for 2 reasons, Counter ECM and even faster Target Acquisition and info gathering, up to 50% faster with both.

The sensor range is a bonus but not needed on this close up build.

 

wait...why not use a standard 300 instead and upgrade endo steel? Increases the mech's survivalbility by quite a bit.

 

I ran with this build, and man is it fun. This thing has a big CT, so the XL hasn't killed me yet on any variant, and this version has both speed, jumping, and DPS. Nasty, nasty build to play.

Edit: No skills except the two heat basics:

 

Another better example of that build:




Very fast TTK, great at shredding and killing. I ran into a healthy Streakcrow, for instance, and took him to crit CT with one alpha, which finished before he could even begin his torso twist. A second alpha to his back finished the job. Did much the same to the Cent and KTO on their team, plus I got the kills on 2 King Crabs, their Orion, and the Summoner. That XP, btw, is not with a first win bonus. Easily my favorite Hopper build.

Edit: I cut a video of the match, will upload it later tonight.

 

Eh?

 

The video is up, enjoy:

 

Damn amazing build ! gg ! And nice video with a kurita music at least at the begining

 

What is that music? Can you list the tracks?

It almost sounds like the SC2 soundtrack in some places... Anyways, thanks!

 

All the tracks are from the second Naruto Shippuden soundtrack...here's track listings:

0:00 - Saika
2:15 - Kokuten
4:28 - Himonji
7:00 - Hyouhaku

Should be able to find them all on Youtube easily enough

 

Why not XL340?

 

I wanted the 4 JJs mostly. You'd be amazed at how good this build is at poptarting on maps like HPG, Canyon, and River City

 

Ok, I guess the better jumping capacity is really worth the slightly lower speed, thx.

At the moment I don`t have any XL Engine bigger then 300, so I have to think which has the best use in many builds and which I can get with a good mech (BLR-3S in case of the XL340). But the XL325 looks like I can use it in many mechs too, so maybe I`ll give it a try.

 

I'd say the 325 is a good investment, particularly for these. It's too bad we can't get 6 JJs in the 5N, you could load a BAP and 2 more JJs with an XL300 if so. But there's too much wasted tonnage if you go XL300 here
