Strategy: I normally use this guy in a way that allows me to take advantage of his dual SRM6s. This Mech has a decent amount of Firepower and can easily go Toe-to-Toe with another Atlas and win. You'll have your 3 Weapons Groups for each type of weapon and an Alpha Strike. The Ultra AC5s and SRMs are going to be your primary weapons. The Large Laser isn't used often to help with Heat Efficiency. I normally only use the Large Laser for long range or when both of my Cannons are Jammed. If you end up in a close encounter try not to use it much. Save your heat for those SRMs. I'm not saying don't use it but be frugal. That will allow you to just hold down the trigger on your other weapons without the worry of overheating. I have gone mono y mono with another full health Atlas and came out with plenty of health to go find other Mechs to kill. Still... Don't get too cocky.
Updated the build to make it civilized by DHS. Also have a few tons left after fixing the cooling eff. so I throw in an extra MLas at the body to allow for zombie, or when you are out of ammo and your arms are blown off. . This is my version: But I would much prefer using MLas instead, saving the tonage for more ammo.
I love working a long time on a build just to find someones already done it lol. I guess most builds, like race cars, will eventually be all the same because perfection is perfection. Mine is FAR from perfection but I do like that at the loss of 1 firepower and .25 dps I was able to increase my speed, ammo load and armor over what I started with. It loses some long range punch due to the lack of your second large laser but I have found for ME that most of the time I am well within a medium lasers range since I usually charge ahead like a moron. Tops out at exactly 100.0 Tons. I would have loved to have the extra ton to put 1 more ton of ammo in the 1 slot I have left but if I go down an engine size I lose the extra heatsink slot that is a must for mine and I wasn't able to consider losing 32 armor. Seeing as how this is as accurate firing as I could make it I was unwilling to lose the Art for the extra slots. I am a noob player and horrible at best and abysmal at worst so I need all the armor I can get until I figure out what the hell i'm doing.
