I run a Dual AC2 Yen lo with an XL300. This might be a descent trade out in the FP area for jamming possibility. 5-5 stars for you.
Thank you for your quick response. Dual AC2 or AC2/UAC5-combo seams to get less dmg output for me than the AC20. Probably I am not got enough at maneuvering/hit&run :/ hear: Any hints Blagg and Vergere?
It's just two very different playstyles, but personally I use them both with similar success. I just use double AC/2 on the CN9-D because I mount a XL325 engine the Wang can't equip. About the survivability, XL on a centurion is always tricky, but I think it's ok if you have mid/long range weapons that keep you out of the brawl. edit: I know I say this on almost every CN9 post, but this build would be better on a CN9-D to benefit from a wilder arm yaw angle. Except if like Blagg you play with arm-locked (and you should not).
You need to stay in secondline and snipe at distant targets, while the heavies & assaults go in. The good thing - you don't need to go into critical sub270m Range. Besides, with AC2s/(U)AC5s you don't really need that wilder arm whatever angle, because you shoot from safe distance, where you usually don't need to TT like crazy. Just stay next to a Pillar or Rock, where you can go back to cover, if you draw attention. Ow one more thing to say - firing Long Range Ballistics with Arm-Aiming is aweful imo. But that's just me.
Man, thank you, Blagg for your answer. At the moment I am quite fine with the AC20 Loadout and make quite some money with it. While I can't kill off most of my targest and get most of the time good amount of kill assists. I would master it to make him even faster, but somehow i find the rest of the cents to uninteresting to play through it.
yeah, except the CN9-A (Triple SRM6!) the other two Cents are aweful to master. For mastering the Cents i used for the AL this: http://www.mechspecs.com/forum/index.php?topic=1541.0 or this: http://www.mechspecs.com/forum/index.php?topic=3186.0 and for the D this: http://www.mechspecs.com/forum/index.php?topic=2260.0. So all Cents have totally different Weaponloadouts, keeping the gameplay versatile+interesting.
