What will you be running tomorrow? (Smurfy clantech edition)

Smurfy's online mechlab can build clan mechs now! Post here with all your theorycrafting before taking it to the battlefield tomorrow.

Here's mine -

And that is why I love Daishis.

Relevant crosspost -

 

It's really too bad the Kit Fox doesn't have lower arm actuators. I'd love to have an arm mounted Gauss with jumpjets that still ran 107. I sometimes run arm mounted Gauss in my Spider 5K to hilarious effect, but it only has one ton of armor and can only really pack one JJ.

Current WIP is a Daishi with ERPPCs and ridiculous amounts of LBX with a targeting computer for bonus crits. Mmmmmm...

 

Smurfy's Warhawks are broke, they have 14 slots of FF armor instead of 7. Still, I'll get doubles in both my Warhawks and Direwolves, but I will probably focus more on the Warhawks as I generally like the chassis more.

 

This looks delicious. Though at second glance I almost want to throw some MGs on there with a range boost, paired up with the targeting computer they could be seriously fun.

...CERMLas in groups of four to avoid ghost heat.

 

Holy Smurfy, Batman! I think the site just explodes with builds! It's building frenzy!

On topic, I will run my Linebacker over at http://www.mechspecs.com/forum/index.php?topic=6905.0

My trusty Blackjack. hear:

 

The Timberwolf Prime also appears to have issues.

Had to remove four items before I got 1 free slot back. Like wise If you try and build the stock Timberwolf from scratch you can't, as you run out of slots. Is there a bug forum or an appropriate channel to highlight these issues?

Also I didn't think you could change side torsos?

 

Just a FYI you can add in the lower arm actuator in game.

But if you add an arm mounted ballistic you lose it so limited arm movement.

The Direwolf was bugged on test one and had that limited arm movement even if no ballistics added and I forgot to check if it had been added back in.

Also.... Smurfy's doesn't include the pod bonuses that I can see so that pod may not be optimal anyway.

 

The TC doesn't affect MG's or Flamers (the rest of the armament is boosted though).

 

This is what I ran out in PTS 2. Not sure on the AP vs an extra DHS.

I added in both arm actuators.

Basically an Arrow on Steroids.

Beware clanners, don't let me get close and personal! hear:

 

You were saying?

Personally would drop the torso CSSRM4 for an extra 2 tons of ammo but that might be overkill. Could add in an AMS with 1 ton of ammo and an extra 0.5 tons of streak ammo.

Faster, more heavily armoured, better jump jets and runs glacially cool.... guided munitions too.

 

And they are supposed to be the ones with the honor code thingy... there's something I don't understand

 

Or a SRM 6 version.....

Dual AMS, faster, more heavily armoured, runs cooler.

 

That's better!

 

If you want to check your advantage look at the Max DPS figure.

Cooldown is much longer on clan mechs and in fact the beam lengths mean that overall DPS is actually lower weirdly. Don't think many peopel paid attention to that.
