COM-2D "Solid Snake" (2x SRM4, 1x MLas, ECM, XL210)

5/5,

also Aylek's 2xSRM4 version is what I see as the new standard go-to build for this 'mech since the quirks seems to be for SRM4, not SRm2 (what would have been more natural for this chassis but meh)

 

Quirks have changed to generell missle Cooldown and Range. Now I wonder, if Aylek´s 2xSRM4 version is the best or his 2xSRM2 + SRM4-build.

 

Been running the 2x srm 4 version and wow! Been killing it! I was a pretty accomplished commando pilot before and had him mastered but put it up once the srms were not hitting well last year and steaks were too weak. Maybe the new net code helped but I have been harrasing with this guy and it seems to excel at getting the enemy team distracted to the point where when even we are losing we end up coming from behind and winning when I distract other forces. Good build and nice to have some fun again with this guy.

 

With the recent quirk changes (December 2015) this variant now gets Additional Armor RL/LL, Additional Structure CT/LT/RT/LA/RA, Missile Velocity +10%, and Missile Cooldown +10%.

I've been using this build with the XL195 and it's great. Sure it's a little more sluggish compared to the 210, but you need as much armor and ammo as you can. The only thing that sucks is it easily runs out of ammo in longer battles regardless, so be sure to pick proper targets. Also, don't forget that ECM range got nerfed and is only 90m compared to 180m.
