    That other team got ya down due to massive lrm spam?! Bring this lil guy along for the ride!

    All around support mech. ECM and 3 ams for anti-lrm scum-baggery with solid long ranged laser support

    I was running a very similar build like this yesterday except that mine had a minimum of 10 points of armor in the rear and i had 1 er large on each arm just in case i lost an arm.

    Otherwise the same exact thing. If i could rate it I would give it 4 to 5 stars but rating isn't working yet for the clans it would seem.

    A lot of guys are running similar, however, I wanted a pure ranged scout (ala RVN-3L) So, I forewent the MGs and AMS that are on all the builds I've seen on MechSpecs.



    13DHS keep you fairly cool, incredible range of Clan ERs, 3x JJ (on an ECM mech! Oh my!) and full armor (a must)

    Swap out the arm to the "C" variant for ECM and both legs to the "S" variant for Jump Jets.

    Just stay out of sight and away from the scrum for the most part. (However, I have had some success driving right into the fray)

    This is a very easy way to grind this little paper mache mech. Averaging about 400-600 damage per match and easily tagging 10 enemies if not all. Lots of XP and lots of C-Bills.

    I'm still messing around with my Kitfoxes, but this build has been my favorite so far. The 3xAMS combined with the ecm totally makes the enemy LRM's useless. I've messed around with the two ERLL as well, but I prefer the ERML on this mech since I use it more as a support mech. The two ERML work a little better at deterring lights that come into your group. The two ERLL work better as a sniper, and as a sniper you usually aren't as close to friendly mechs to give them the ecm and AMS cover.

    I dropped the medium laser, and some heat sinks but added a level 4 targeting computer to make a really long range sniper. Adding the advanced zoom module will help even more with those long range shots.

    I'll have to try this one.
    Might swap the cermlas for a c-tag for extra c-bills/xp/utility since I'm a firm believer that ecm-scouts should be able to designate targets for lrm-strikes aswell as do nice dmg.

    5/5

    Been seeing a lot of these! Guys basically stay outside of LRM range and then just pound on you with the cERLL.

    Also, sorry Chatt but your build and this build were too similar so I merged them. One has AMS and one does not.

    Yet another variant:



    • 14 heat sinks in arms to critpad
    • Just 1 JJ for mobility (why more if this isn't poptarting?)
    • Avoids KFX-S legs
