This is based on the "TBT-7K Long Range Support MKII" of the SrgFlip, but, differently of the Treduchet have 1x JJ and 1 ton of extra ammo. Very strong and efficient. The regular PPC is a good choice, but the ERPPC is more versatile, and, as it is only one, its heat is manageable. Good killing ... Note: this loadout can also be used in 2H variant, clear... Ty all!
Classic poptart engaged. hear: Works well to support team at distance. High mounted ballistics and relatively high mounted arms make it easy to poptart with. Cannot absorb damage like a HGN or VTR, but then again it is only a medium and ~1/2 the weight. This build will probably be seen A LOT if weight restrictions are added into the game and comp. teams will no longer be able to run 8+ HGNs. Possibly a mix of these guys and Firebrands w/ 2 UAC5 and PPCs. We shall see! I also like similar builds in the 2D2. Mainly because the jump weapons are on the same side of the mech making shots a lot easier, however the new speed for the AC10 makes timing shots a bit more difficult, especially when leading a moving target. Also only 1 ballistic limits to either a single AC10 or single AC5. But you have the backup weapons to go after other mediums and lights. More of a PUG build TBH. or (for heat efficiency and more ammo)
I prefer 2 PPCs with a single AC/5 for the extra 5 points of damage. 5 JJs since seeing as they are due for a nerf, might as well prepare. Yes, this can get hot but it is manageable for someone disciplined enough. At about the 70%/80% heat mark I switch to firing only 1 PPC at a time with the AC/5 on the AC/5's CD. The minimum range of the PPCs hasn't been much of an issue because of the 92.3 KPH tweaked speed and being aware of whats going on. Don't often run out of ammo but then I have 2 PPCs to fall back on.
This is a nice alternate build, but the one downside to it over the 2xAC5 and 1 PPC is that if you lose that arm you've lost 80% of your Alpha capability.
