_ Legacy MechDB for illustration only. Updated mechlab: https://mwo.nav-alpha.com/mechlab?b=75456896_AS7-K3 Well performing build for the Atlas with a heavy hitting gauss and mrm40 and ERmls. A standard Atlas build you could say, now with jumpjets. Make sure you watch your position and twist to shield with your arms. Good heat ratio and had no problems with the shaved armor. Highest dmg achieved after a few games : 950 Rating: 5/5 Credit to Baradul (AS7-RS)
With only 10 DHS, I think you'd be better off with regular MLs over ER. You're not going to do well at range anyway so the extra heat is probably not worth it
Maybe, although the legacy mechcard was just for illustration, and the updated mechlab shows 10+3 in the engine so 13, if that's enough for you. ER or not maybe up to preference
