PNT-10K So I wasn't getting enough DMG out of 1 ERPPC, and 2 was too hot. Dropped one, tossed in 2 SRM4's and double the DMG output.
1t SRM ammo is not enough. I added 1t ammo and changed the armor a bit. I do not understand, why everyone wants to lose the shieldarm right away. This is the way I pilot him at the moment and I think it´s the best compromise.
Got the 200xl engine from a build i tried yesterday evening so i thought id try someting with it and found this. No ferro, more heatsinks and 1.5 tons of ammo. Its not battle tested yet thou.
This is what i came up with at first stab and it's been bloody effective. First Drop 2 kills 3-4 assists, 340ish damage. And this is how it goes i either get a shit load of assists and a kill or two and about 400dmg...or i die because I did something stupid like over heat in front of a direwolf or forget i'm not as fast as im used to in the raven or firestarter. Though with 115.6kph without speed tweak. you are fast enough to open range on all but the fastest of speed freak Mediums, and of course all otehr inner-sphere lights. Against every other mech you are a real and legitimate threat at damn near any range. The Velocity boosted ERPPC shots are ludicrously easy to land at range and you can hit out to 1600m without the module, with it you can hit out to 1760m. Admittedly at extreme range you're only scorching their armor, but it is unnerving to get hit out of the blue by an ERPPC shot from across the map. So far im loving it. Can't wait to try the others, now that this one is basic'd Have been giving some though to the 2xlrm5 variation as it encourages keeping my range long. 2 tons of ammo is probably enough maybe 3, but dropping from the xl250 is too much of cooling efficiency hit. IMHO , besides any weight gains are offset by the external HS I would have to mount, which with Ferro & Endo, gets quite tight on the available slots.
