This is a Build I've been working on due to my dislike of the constant UAC/5's jamming like someone's intestines after eating 3 pounds of cheese. Has good speed, large pulse for pinpoint component destruction, SRM'4 on chain-fire to keep on heat on and a AC/20 to throw down the law on your enemies, And with a 65.20 alpha anyone unlucky to get in your face. Will be sent to Oblivion and back by your awesomeness. Mastery of torso twisting is required though due to the XL engine. This is my first build created on this forums I hope you enjoy it, Criticism would be appreciated. Happy Hunting Mechwarriors and kill some Ravens for me! Also here is a STD325 version of the build with MPlas
Welcome on Mechspecs! It looks like a nice build (definitely brutal) but the XL engine seams pretty risky to me. I'm not a HGN pilot, but when I'm facing one I usually cut the side torso where it has its weaponry (right if AC+energy, left if LRMs), and since yours have weapons on both side I thank it can take advantage of being able to stay alive with a ST destroyed. Thus I'd go for a STD engine variant. (but again, what do I know?) Another thing: do you really need 2 tons of AMS ammo? I'd shave armor from legs and left arm and mount a second jump-jets instead. About the STD variant, I'd rather use standard LLas. MPLas's range is so short, I think you need at least a mid range weapon. Here's a suggestion: I downgraded the engine so it might be slow (I'm not sure) and I also reworked the ammo locations so it's safer (with a CASE on right side). (and I notice I just reinvented Blagg's "Terminator")
For better heat efficiency and range, drop 1 ton of AMS ammo, and shave the MPLs down to MLs. Throw in 3 DHS, and now you're running cool. If I were to run this (and I might give it a try when I get my 733C), I might swap out 1 DSH for another ton of SRM ammo, but we'll see how often it's used. Would generally prefer a second JJ in there too, but you'd need to find 2 tons to clear. Very reminiscent of an effective DDC build though with this though.
I use a variation if this build. Std300 AC20 Srm4 2xLPL 1xJJ It produces a lot of 750 to 850 dmg rounds plus lots of kills
Will post the smurfy when I get a chance. Mostly post from my phone so it's a bit of a mission to do the smurfy build.
