Ilya Muromets 3 Weldings and a Funeral (3x ML, 1x AC20, STD300)

Fast enough to close the range to the enemy, solid damage output, runs cool, near maximum armour, no XL engine means it can survive a brawl just a bit longer. For those who don't like UAC5s and/or XL engines.

 

I find the weapon loadout pretty weak for an heavy mech. AC/20 + 3 medium lasers looks like a hunchback build.

 

Yea.. you could do 5MLas+AC20 on a -1X oder 4 MLas+AC20+JJ on a -3D

 

Yeah, anything under 20 tons of weapons just seems a bit underpowered for a 70-ton mech.

Double Gauss is better, as is triple UAC/5 or 2 UAC/5 + 2 LLas. Ilyas just plain do better with an XL Engine, so they can actually use their ballistic hardpoints.
