AS7-K House Liao's "The Truth" (1x Gauss, 3x ERLL, 2x AMS, XL300)

5/5,

1 rating

The most destructive Atlas on the field imo right now, it is a beast. You will fall in love with this machine, as it has no heat problems and just eliminates the target. Your welcome.

I will have to try this out on my K

I do want to ask this though....how do you fire your lasers? All 3 at once? Chain fire ? Or do you just alpha constantly with this thing?

 

weapon group 1 is arm erlls , weapon group 2 is the ct erll, weapon group 3 is the gauss rifle

 

Am I missing something because this build comes out to 97.13 tons, the armor count is actually 596 not 592, also why ERLL's when they generate way more heat, cost more, and weigh more for extra range? Also, the Gauss goes in the RT not LA.

With that being said, I am going to try this with LL's and maybe DHS. Also note, that running the XL engine with a Gauss in the RT with no CASE is asking for a very quick game over. Once that Gauss explodes you'll be instantly cored. Consider swapping to 300STD.

 

ok first of all, if you go 300std you have less heat sinks, second i fixed the mech report. And I have never had an ammo explosion from my gauss. and you dont need case. Just put the Gauss ammo in the Legs! And the range is worth it.

 

C.A.S.E can have other functions, as I sometimes use it for protection as for more structure to get blown up before my so vital Gauss. Each to his own. Shouldn't need to move the Gauss ammo to legs even, as it doesn't blow up.

 

A Gauss Rifle has the capacity to explode if damaged, the ammo itself is not explosive, a CASE will prevent an exploding Gauss Rifle from destroying your RT which with an XL engine would completely take you out of the game. See this page: http://mwowiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gauss_Rifle

Currently, here is what your build looks like:



And here are my modifications:

Same DPS, more heat efficient, reduced risk from the XL engine, and extra Gauss ammo to boot.

 

Nice, but i still prefer my ER Large Lasers because it will allow me to output more damage in the long run. 1.25 Heat efficiency is already more than enough for the mech. And the ER allows me to snipe with more power at a greater distance than your large laser. And you have no AMS, my mech had double AMS. To prevent LRMs and SRMs.

 

True, I can't believe I forgot AMS. But do understand that the ERLL and LL do the same damage. Just the ER has more range, heat and cost.

 

Nice build, I have almost the exact same. However I would really advise swapping in some DHS and swapping out the XL 300 and ER LL for Standard 300 and regular LL. Just for a try.

 

If hes using xl it wont matter if he has case because his xl would be destroyed either way.

I have run a similar build to this in the past but using Large Lasers instead of ER and standard engine instead of xl. I found it very effective as a sniper and also middle range brawler. IMO Large lasers are superior to mediums on an assault because they allow an otherwise lumbering mech to put more damage on targets which are usually much faster than you.

Now that lrms are so marginal I may very well give this build another go.

 

Definitely has the ability to lay damage down on target, but I'd prefer something with either a little more range, more maneuverability, or NOT an XL engine. Then again, I also run an RS with an ERPPC, PPC, Gauss, and dual LL while running around the field with an XL 360, so I'm probably just a little spoiled...

 

Would you mind posting that build Sniper? Looks interesting!

 

Hello gang! Long time reader, first time poster (grin). Saw this build perusing the site & thought I'd post my own version, since there were several requests for a std engine version. I stumbled across this loadout running my founders' Atlas & decided to modify it for the K.

 

Hey Knightwolf47, welcome to the forums!


Looks like a ok build but there is some room for improvements. Why the case in LT? I am not sure the case in RT needs to be there either as I have no confirmation it will protect you from the Gauss rifle exploding. The Gauss ammo is just padding and is good.


50 rounds is a lot too, I'd consider going down to 40, dropping armor to 67 on the legs and add a SRM6 pack. A single lrm10 ain't much good anyways. Oh, and shift the AMS ammo from the arms. Better in cockpit and leg, they are explosive too.

 

The CASE will not protect you from the Gauss Rifle exploding, but it will protect your CT, and thus your engine, from being blown up along with it. CASE confines the explosion of Gauss Rifles or AC/MG/S/LRM ammo to the side torso... if you have an XL engine though, don't bother with case.

So yes, CASE does help protect the rest of your Mech, not the torso itself.

 

I know what case is supposed to do, that it protects the CT from ammo explosion by containing it to the LT or RT but I have yet to see someone quoting a official source. I know it is a common assumption that since Gauss Rifle is counted as ammo explosion it should keep the CT safe but...


Source?

 

Description for the C.A.S.E. from INGAME MWO:

CASE Ammunition Containment prevents ammunition explosions from damanging components outside of the CASE equipped component.

 

Yes, but then we are assuming Gauss Rifles and the text "Ammo explosion" is correct.


I am a stickler sometimes, sorry.

 

Yea and at this point I drop out of the communications channel and hope you never witness when the Gauss rips your CT apart...
