    Fire group 1 - 3xMLas
    Fire group 2 - 2xERLAS chain fire
    Fire group 3 - LBX 10
    Fire group 4 - LBX 10 + SRM6
    Fire group 5 - EVERYTHING !!!!! Can do 2 times on most maps

    2xERLAS mounted on 1 arm, so you can cover your body behind things while sniping

    I have very little heat issues with this build and it does it all.

    2 days playing hard with only one, let me repeat only 1 engine explosion.

    This thing is fast and when it get there, It has what it needs to get it done.

    71 KPH allows me to side step most missies

    XL engines in the ATLAS are for troll builds, and a shotgunning Hero ATLAS is hilarious!

    But, it's better to make a pulse boat out of one of these things to troll mechs.

    As for cooler, I run cooler with ML and a gauss in this atlas with the same engine with single heatsinks.

    OK I am 50 years old what is a Troll build ?

    I don't like the Guase rife because you cant alph with it effectively, and the 2xERLas do a fine job at long range.

    In this context, any build that should have little to no viability in a 4man or higher. Or, anything that can do over 35 points into a cockpit.

    EX



    taking this extreme, an XL engine in an Atlas is NOT VIABLE in 4mans and up. But it is hilarious to watch them chase around a Medium and do damage until they explode due to their shoulder being taken out.

    I though the same thing, but in reality I have not had this problem with my xl engine. when sniping I have my body covered that's why both ETLaser are in 1 arm.

    and the small mech that have tried to blow out my torso have ether ben 1 shotted by an ALPHA, or shoed away my the shot gun.

    I am not staying packs of 2 or more light mechs could not bring me down.

    it like supper EZ to turn around and get a bead and 1 shot the Light mech before he can damage you in any way. maybe your torso moves faster when you have a larger motor ?

    I really get the feeling you have not tried this build. and have not tried the play style I described.

    I am doing over 600 damage and 2 kills a game on the low end, and 800 damage and 4 kills on the high end.

    and I go after light mechs first since they are face roll 1 or 2 shots.

    I switched it up a bit. Not by a lot, but a little bit.

    The danger of having ammo in your side torsos with an XL engine is that if that ammo gets hit, buhbye engine. And the C.A.S.E. isn't going to help with that, unfortunately.

    So, I dropped the case, relocated the rest of your ammo (one in the head, the rest into the arms), dropped six points of leg armor, and made the SRM 6 Artemis instead.

    This honestly looks fun; I might have to give it a try!
