This thing is pretty cool, I stumbled upon a similar arrangement when I bought my Arrow. I was trying to recreate the 3 LL version, but only had 2...
I was a bit skeptical of Jagers when i first started looking at them. I wasn't a big fan of ballistics at the time, and the armor was fairly...
I believe Solahma is right about the engine choice overall. It really comes down to what loadout and tactics fit your playstyle. With a bit of...
You guys are partially correct. From some recent research, 7 of the hero mechs come from some part of the lore, at least by name. From reading the...
Ah yes, forgot about that one... :blush:
Yeah, I wound up dropping that flamer too. It was a nice touch at times, made heat balancing a bit easier, but that extra medium definitely helps a...
I've found a surprisingly effective grouping for this build...have all your ACs in two groups, one set to chainfire, the other to groupfire. Toggle a...
I can attest to this thing being brutal, got accosted by one in Crimson Straight tonight and my poor BLR just went to pieces in seconds...
On a side note, anyone have suggestions on a Joker (from Batman) style scheme?
Actually, the stock paint job almost sent me running away screaming from the mechlab... :laugh:...after some testing I came up with this: [img]
When I first got my 1G, I didn't have a heck of a lot of cash for extra mods and tried to do the best with what I had, trying to utilize the...
I've run this build on the Cat K before, only shortcomings were the firing arc limitations of the torso mounted ballistics and that it was not very...
Here's my take: [MEDIA] Replace the PPC with an ER Large, you lose a little damage but gain some heat efficiency and can keep the larger engine....
I have to second Poindexter and the others on their opinions. I was a bit skeptical early on with all the heavy weapons in the arms (experience from...
I am definitely torn here. The Victor overall has to be one of my favorite chassis at the moment, helping me make the transition from lumbering mechs...
Another good direct fire build for the C1 I came across is this one: [MEDIA] Warchanter posted a similar build using a larger engine and less armor,...
Hmm...looks like great minds think alike... ;)http://www.mechspecs.com/forum/index.php?topic=2107.0
After some testing on Smurfy, this seems to me to be the best LRM boat for the Highlander chassis. Since this is the only Highlander variant (aside...
While it does invite comparison to the Battlemasters and Stalkers, it reminds me somewhat more of the 8Q Awesome. I was able to run that model with...
My initial impression on the hardpoints made it look like a heavier version of the Protector, trading the second ballistic and missile slots for that...
It is true that this loadout can be run on the Dragon Slayer as well, but based on the handful of testing grounds runs I've done, the grouping of...
Once you find the right loadout, this thing is awesome! :wub: While it is a bummer not being able to mount an AC20 on it, my only serious complaint...
Yeah, that D-DC without ECM thing bugs me too, particularly when running into opponents who use ECM reasonably effectively. With the LRM storms that...
I've found that with most Victor builds the XL330 from the Dragon Slayer seems to work well, gives decent speed while permitting a few more tons for...
Yeah, this certainly isn't a long term solution for sure. It was more of an "I'm bored & want to try out my new toys" kind of thing. It may seem...
Yeah, that combo is a bit odd. Had some ammo combination issues, though it wasn't totally ammo-wasting for me. The main thing was the psychological...
This design is fairly viable, even without the endo and ferro upgrades: [MEDIA] I like how the LRM launcher allows you to provide viable support to...
A Battlemaster for the budget-conscious...lol: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=119&l=6d3f7bd22416fbf59d38aa42eb2c8b5d24f46ea9 Yes, folks, this...
This build is excellent. I used to be fearful of arm-mounted weapons as a result of the tendency for MW2's AI to go for those first, but this mech...
I run a similar design, but which drops the streaks and the Ferro for more ammunition. [MEDIA] It plays a lot like the dual LBX Catapult I've run in...
