    ...aaaand another Shadow Hawk. This time without arms, and it brawls! (i like my anti meta build y'a know :D )

    It has 4x4 SRMs, an AC10 an it jumps, what else do you want? The "no weapons in arms" policy really help you to survive. Use those arms as shields! It kinda feels like a flying Centurion with a boomstick :rofl:

    Weapon groupings:
    1: AC10
    2: 2xSRM4
    3: 2xSRM4

    You only have 10 heatsinks so try to avoid ghost heat if you can. On the other hand, don't hesitate to do a full alpha if you have the chance. If you are "in the red" fall back to AC10 only.

    The name, the loadout, did you make this especially for me?

    Yes, Hertog Jan is the best :cheers:

    What prevents you from swapping in and out some weapons every now and then? I change builds on mechs all the time. Never drop more than 20 games in a single load out :)

    Haha, I used to change it regularly, no doubt. The reason why I stopped tinkering so often can be described in the term "UI 2.0".
    Tell you what, I'll try to make a few screenies with this thing :).

    I don't find the jumpjets quite as crucial for the build, so i remove 2 for 1 DHS or 1 more ton of AC10 ammo (the latter is handy on maps like alpine peaks, so you have more to do from long range).

    Don't alpha?
    Look at the weapon groups again. It really helps!

    I misread the title as "Handjob Jane" for some reason...
    A bit hot, but reasonable if you know when to chain.

    4/5,
    Run similar on my GRF-3M. (ER PPC and 4 SRM 4s) So the heat doesn't bother me with this build. Plays just about exactly like my 3M so I like it.

    As this is focused on brawlerish situations, (and I know I'm about to blaspheme) You can pull one missile rack, some JATO bottles, drop arm armor, and add FF to get a chunky STD engine...

    Not sure it's quite worth the trade-off... You lose speed, firepower, jump height, but you are MUCH more durable (especially with TWO center mounted zombie weapons) you are much cooler, and you don't have to worry as much about ammo explosions... Meh... It's an idea. Still not sure if it's worth it.
