AWS 9M
*Please note this is my most preferred way to play this Variant. I will have other Awesome that fulfil other roles. The potential of all Awesome will not be utilizes till you achieve double basic efficiency.
My Builds:(Click the links)
-Preferred build x3 PPC, standard engine
-XL engine build if you must
After trying many different builds, the stock build has got to be my favourite build that keeps this mech unique from the rest of my Awesome. The key to playing this mech is not to exchange fire while tanking damage head on in return.
-Positioning and constant movement are your best friends. Use your speed (71.3kph) to your advantage and play as an aggressive support. What this means is flank, shoot and repeat.
-I love using a standard engine because anything that allows you to stay alive a little longer will only aggravate the enemy.
-Remember you will only have 2-3 alpha (depending on the map) before overheating.
-In prolonged engagements, Always use chain fire and remember to focus certain components like right or left torso.
-Resist the Urge to fire the medium laser, you will be more damage and heat efficient if you only use the ppc’s.
-Lastly know your ppc effective range.
0-90m: deals 0 damage.
90-540m: deals full 10 damage
540-1080m: deals diminishing damage
Some of my AWS 9M matches
Damage is not very very high but that is because I focus critical components.
