This is very similar to the Godzilla build posted here and might of be listed in that thread. The idea here is chain firing the LB 10-Xs to create a constant barrage of pellets breaking up firing lines and allowing the team to push.
Welcome to mechspecs! Don't forget to check out the FAQ about how to properly name the build's thread. In this case, it would be: ANH-1X "Destoroyah" (4xLBX10, 4xML, TC1, STD200) You can modify the title by clicking the "edit / modify title" in the upper right corner of the first post But moving back to the build you posted, from a quick comparison from my build since you named it... Spoiler: Link and smurfy build ANH-1X "Godzilla" (4xLBX10, 5xML, STD275) . If the game is not trolling me with the in-game description, TC will only increase the laser beam range and it won't affect neither the projectile speed or crit chance of the LBXs... This means that on this particular build, is not as usefull as it could look like. So, in the end, you are trading a lot of speed (I mean, it moves like a UrbanMech) and -1 ML (slightly worse DPS and alfa strike) for the same overall heat effiency (30%),+2 tons of ammo and a slight increase in medium laser range and crit chance (LBXs are not affected) . Not really worth it IMHO. Even by stripping out some armor to enhance cooling and using every single available slot, it still doesn't feels right without the free tonnage boost given by the Endo steel structure and the usage of a 275 or better engine.
Honestly, I didn't (and still don't) have the C-Bills to replace the out of the box engine. What I have posted is what I use in game, not concept builds. So to compensate for the slowness, I went for an extended range with the lasers. Relooking at it, without the ability to change the engine, I believe you are right about the extra ML being a better option over the TC. Thank you for the critic. That, in part, is why I shared the build. Irony was how close it was to the Godzilla build.
The extra ML seemed like it should have been better, but the extra heat quickly reduced my ability to sustain fire. Maybe an extra ton of LB ammo would be a better option over the TC.
I am going to try that build for a while. Thank you, Shock. I am a little concerned with losing the ammo in the arms. But good players blow the torsos off... Also, because of the speed, I do use more rear armor. In the field, especially in PUG matches, you are inevitably left behind or some light is going to run through back shooting. lol All in all, the extra heat sinks make it all worth wild! You, good sir, are a genius!! Thanks again
You should consider using the "Budget" tag if you are concerned about C-Bills and you want to spend as little as possible: I made some build with the stock engine too, there is no shame in that and it will prevent nuisance person like myself to comment over the uselessness of low grade engines @Shock 's build is actually the best version with the stock engine so far.
