    I have stop play MWO for long time and after come back to play I find this builds outdated.
    Mostly for two reasons:
    First is the lower range for both PPC and AC5.
    This builds was design for mid to long range shooting something that can't do anymore.
    Second is new Clam Mechs.
    You just can't outshooting them.

    So i will try to find something more useful for my Heavy Metal

    Personally, I've been using a variant of the build that just swaps the regular PPCs for ERPPCs. Even with pop-tart nerf, the AC5s serve as your low-heat, mid-close weapon, while the ERPPCs serve as your snipe. It runs hotter, but gives that much needed range boost and retains ability to spike your heat for popping someone in close when necessary. Chain-fire the ERPPCs to keep the heat spiking down or unload like its going out of style as the situation calls for.



    Or trade BAP for AMS:


    I've found both to be effective for me, but prefer the BAP version for the sensor range and ability to cut enemy ECM that gets in your face so your allies can still LoLrm. Not sure it's quite 5-stars, but it's a decent way to use the HM.
    [edit]Woops. Helps to have the ERs in when I talk about ERs, doesn't it? Fixed it.[/edit]
