    This is a prime hill peeker and long range sniper with super high sniper mounts and very potent short range capabilities with the backup weapons. The build is optimzed with zero free slots, but some variation is possible of course. Feel free to mount a bigger TC (I won't go higher than a 3, though) or additional short range weapons (MGs?) or whatever fits your play style. If you like the peeking game, you will love this build.

    Why cSPLs and not cMLs?

    Yeah the heat is better but you get range with mediums and if this mech is Elited you can brawl better with the cMLs and take the occasional PPC shot as well.

    I find EBJs to be quite squishy close up, so I tried to minimize the face time necessary for the backup weapons while at the same time increasing the twisting capabilities. You're right in that cERML have a much superior range, but the heat of double cERPPC is pretty substantial, so there are two arguments for taking the cSPL. I'd use cERSL, but then you'd run into slot issues.
