I have to say Battlemasters are one of the funnest mechs to play especially built like this it works wonderfully. You've got 5 medium lasers for armor melting, and then you have your autocannons for Criting, enganging at range, supression fire, constant damage, and of course something to shoot when your running a bit hot. I have had nothing but success with this build. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=119&l=0421deec2b05188f4fb4c581e9e5d7609f2bb140 http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv291/3169Pwn3r/ScreenShot0029_zps33ffaa19.jpg[/img] As you can see, I have no issues getting top damage almost every single game. Criticism and such openly welcome.
I am running a similar build, but with 2 Llas instead of the Mlas and a Xl340. That way you have a heavy punch at close and mid range, while still having enough speed and cooling. With all weapons on 1 side you can also stay in cover quite good while shooting. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=119&l=d8247c2d565ff0b2d7cdee278b8519df940f82a7

I was reluctant at first because of the loss of speed, but the largest XL engine I own is a 300 and I really didn't want to invest in something larger that I may not use much or even need. I'm very happy with the build as is.
