    This is literally the dumbest thing I have ever done. TheWatchman's CTF-1X "Steel Rhino" does the same thing except better in every way. But hey, it's an AC/20 Catapult. At least that's something, right?

    This fit not for CAT :phear: This fit for Jagger (with 2xAC/20) or Phract (with AC/20+PPC) :cool:

    So this build is a K2 with one AC/20 and four MPLas and your propositions are a boomjag and a AC/20+PPC phract - in other words two mechs with almost no connection and built on different chassis... this is not constructive.

    As for the superiority of the CTF-3D alternative (JJ mostly), well, it's acknowledged in the name of the build.

    I'm just the fact that K2 and AC/20 incompatible. Neither speed nor agility. AC/20 to have more suitable chassis. K2 is almost ideal for such an option:



    But the topic is not about that of course. I beg your pardon. I hope you get the idea that I wanted you to hear.

    If you want my personal opinion about this, since I always use an XL engine on my Catapults and like to use the vertical mobility of the arm, I don't like AC/20 on the K2.
    But there are plenty of very powerful builds using this weapon (with very valid reasons), way enough to make me think K2 and AC/20 are perfectly compatible.

    Because the build is too "short-handed". At Alpine Peaks will tangible problems.
    Even in this embodiment:


    2xAC/10 in my opinion is better.

    I was so used of you posting totally unrelated builds it took me twice to realize this one was actually an alternative to the OP build.

    I agree with you on both points:
    - even after the buff, MPLas don't worth the weight, imho. I prefer standard MLas and four free tons;
    - double AC/10 is better than a single AC/20, giving you better range and DPS without losing on manoeuvrability since you can mount an XL engine.
