40 PPFLD for your mech destruction pleasure. Long range poke with the PPCs, close range devastation with AC20, annihilate everything in between with multiple alphas brought to you by 18 DHS cooling. When things go really bad, show them that you mean business with the Medium Laser. Twist and roll damage in between shots for best effect Also available at your nearest D and K variants
What makes the -S special is the large amount of missile slots. You're not using them. The mix of ranges on your weapon systems means that at only a very small envelope can you bring your entire arsenal to bear. Unless you're trolling in which case, gg
While a 40 pinpoint shot is nothing to ignore, the Atlas just doesn't have the capability to bring that firepower to bear as effectively as a lighter mech. Even tweaked, it's too slow, and doesn't twist very well. Close range, that leaves only the AC20 and Mlas to try and fight off a light, which is more or less suicidal unless you're an amazing shot. And unlike the AC40/Dual Gauss Jager, it's too slow to pop in and out of cover while firing off shots without taking a lot of damage. Combine all that into a mech which has far too many hardpoints located low on its frame, and you have a mech that's poorly suited to mounting this kind of setup (trying to shoot up/over a hill with those arm PPCs is gonna be a bitch). Could run into some limited success, but against any competent light or medium brawler you're gonna have a bad time. Against any heavy or assault mech with a strong build you're going to be outgunned.
