A very cheap build that can use its huge alpha to wrek face. thanks to solhama for editing the build, and giving me a better version
Edited Build-Title and smurfy-Link to align to our naming convention. Pls read the FAQ when creating a build. Enjoy MechSpecs!!!
I edited the title to include proper naming conversions. Yall need to try harder you other editors Welcome to MechSpecs bud. Interesting build. Seems like it would run VERY hot. Also, you might be better off dropping the MG and ammo to maximize your armor on the critical components, legs especially. The Mad Dog has very large legs! Also, being a lighter Clan Heavy, you need all the armor you can get to stand up against a Timberwolf or any other heavier mech in brawl. Also, I believe this build is too hot to consistently use all of its ammo. I would suggest dropping 1-2 tons of ammo for 1-2 more DHS to even it out.
If you stick to just the SRMs at short range, the heat might not be that bad and you are still putting out 72 damage per salvo. Save the alpha for kill shots or when you are just going to hit and run away to cool down. Sniping with just one PPC isn't too rough on your heat and keeps you in the game instead of hiding behind cover.
You could ditch one SRM launcher, and a ton of ammo, for more heatsinks and armor. If you are brawling, a little more of both won't hurt. Better heat management and the shield arm will last a bit longer.
