I just bought an Atlas and this is my plan configuration just need some advice if I'm going the right way, its arm with two LB autocannon 5X as it main weapon two ER large laser as its sniping tool and some SRM 4 with Artemis for brawls just give ur suggestion comments and violent reactions Thanks
Very good build, but i would prefer to reconfigure your ammo and ECM distribution, also you don't need to strip of that much armor.
ER lasers seems useless to me, it's hot and you're not a long range mech afterall. I also think you need more AC ammo, it's your primary weapon (and a cool one!). Anyway that's a terrific build I've been running for months (though not often), always with success. I love the double shotgun! You can trade the CASE for one more ton of SRM ammo, but 200 is usually enough, as long as you don't shoot them out of range like I sometime do...
Lol nice round Epikt. As for the build... I'd probably drop the LLas to MLas for heat reasons, and put the tonnage into engine size and heat sinks (12 DHS sustains 2LB10X+1SRM4 only). You'll be looking to close range as much as possible with the highly range limiting LB10X and SRM4 without Artemis spread.
I run a slightly different version of this build: I drop the LL and AMS and in exchange I up the engine to 325, more DHS, and replace with MPL. This baby can fire all day long without overheating. One can exchange the 3rd ton of SRM ammo for LBX ammo, but I seem to run out of both at the exact same time with this set up of 3T SRM 5T LB10X ammo. Here are some of the results (sorry phone pics instead of screenshots but all the same results):
Variation1, redistribution of ammo to avoid CASE, and using the 0.5 ton in AMS ammo (with Clan's Mechs i think is the smarter choice): Variation2, more armour and 1 extra heatsink at the expense of LB-10X ammo:
You really do need a bigger engine than a 300, so you can close gaps and get your Brawl weapons in good range.
These are my variations on the theme, I call them Shotgun Steve... This is with the Command Console. This one exchanges the Command Console for more firepower with the SRM6s... I don't know yet, which build i like better, what do you think?
well done, amazing game! This is how I'd run it, either way dropping the LLas is a great idea on this setup, speed is better !
It's not only the speed granted by the bigger engine, but especially the agility and twiat speed gained which make a big difference on the AS7s.
I gave up the LLas too. 325 engine only (tbh I play too little Atlas to tell the difference in agility), but mucho mucho ammo and a CASE, I think it's the best way to use the room. But it not the OP build anymore...
My take on the build, because I love SRM6 + Art (Edit: replaced the med pulses by medlas to gain some ammo and armor, tried to optimize as much as possible ammo placement)
