    Makes me want to wait for other mechs to be 50% off.

    I really hate it when companies do this... Be consistent.

    Not a bad little hero-mech for the price. And it comes with an XL330 which I use in a ton of other builds.

    It's also a pretty darn good Hero Mech for generating C-Bills, especially once you get it mastered *grin* Played somewhat aggressively as a harasser/C-ECM build you can really rack up the credits with this thing!

    Yeah Instantbuy but any suggestions for good XL330 builds (on other Mechs)? Can't remember I ever used this Engine in any of my (theoretical) builds. :rofl:

    I mainly used it in Phracts since it will get you near to top speed and I'm too cheap to by an XL340. Usually, if a build calls for an XL325 or 340, you can substitute in the XL330 with a few minor modifications.

    Right now, though, it's in my BLR-1S LRM boat which looks something like this:

    Is the X5 worth it? Note that I already own Jenners including the Oxide. Any advise before this flash sale ends?

    Just a slower Jenner D. It's fine I guess if you really like cicadas.

    I like the 3M as a ERPPC / UAC5 Sniper with it's own ECM bubble or as a kind of bodyguard mounting a LBX-10. I am quite impressed by the added armor on vital parts like the legs when comparing CDAs to JR7s, though.

    I used to runt my X-5 with a 340XL, 2SSRM2s, 4MLAS and BAP, but the armor was a bit thin.
    The 330XL offers more survivability.

    It definetly play as a large jenner without JJ.

    tl;dr

    BUY IT

    So tempting.

    From a long-time BattleTech fan or collector's point of view...

    But I'm not so much in the other variants...

    That's so hard to decide... :unsure:

    I am weak. :(

    DHS is a must, though.
