I think we all saw this coming:

AS7-S

STD 340 engine
AC/20, 4 tons of ammo
4xSRM6, 6 tons of ammo
2 medium lasers

Don't forget this new atlas brings in more bling

Why not make those 4E count and add 2 ML?

I'm curious how this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...06a06fd79855ba7

will work out.

I never used assaults so I don't know if that's viable. Looks pretty powerful for a brawl, though. You probably shouldn't use the SRMs and PPCs together, only PPC on mid range and SRMs for close range.

I like your build, though, and will test it when my own(inevitably) fails.

I plan on dropping that AC20 down to an AC10 or a UAC5 to increase the engine cap. That extra heating will probably be more useful to help with the massive heat. At least, until I have it elited, anyways. After that, anything goes.

I'm surprised that PGI didn't use these loyalty mechs as an opportunity to test out some of the new quirks they're trying to implement. Could've given the S a SSRM/LRM quirk to try and prevent SRM24 spam.

You totally could. Personally it's running a little hot as it, and I prefer to stick with 3 weapon groups.

Heresy !

I think once I start working on the Atlas I'll use this as a build for some real sneeze-action. http://mwo.smurfy-ne...faa847c633380fa

The time to cool-down after this build sneezes is the metaphorical "nosecleaning" then?

No, no, no, no, no.
You cannot use XLs on an atlas.

[RazorbeastFXK3]

The harsh cooldown time is if you lay it on thick with the medium pulse lasers while using the SRM4x3. The LB10X doesn't have much of a heat rating so you'll stay cool while using that paired with the SRM4x3. The LRM10 is just for tickling your opponents from a distance.

That.. and if it gets too hot you can always chainfire the Med Pulse Lasers for 6 damage per shot and since the duration is real short you don't have to worry about keeping your crosshairs on the target for too long as you do with regular lasers.

[EDIT]'sides.. the Overall Heat Rating is only if you were to alpha strike and I don't see any reason for anyone to use the Med Pulse Laser x4 + LB10X + SRM4x3 + LRM10 all at the same time unless their finger slips in the middle of battle.[/edit]

[Rise or Die]

Im gonna try this guy

AC 20, 3 tons ammo
4x ML
4x SRM 4, 4 tons ammo

AS7-S

[UrsusMorologus]

ASRM4 is better than SRM6

[Ashan An]

AS7-Splatlas is what i'm rolling with right now and it seems to work fine, but it will need more testing to be sure

ps: it does require some restrain with the lazors to avoid overheating... i usually use the CT mpl after i lose a torso or if i'm not sure of hitting my target.
I also prefere to chainfire the srms in most occasions

I plan to run this:

AS7-S

I'll probably tweak it after a bit; it runs hot.

Of course you can!

Most fun I've had in an Atlas in a long time. Nice to have a big payload!

I think you'd get more mileage with 3xSRM6s instead of filling all of the hardpoints. No ghost heat to contend with that way.

[IllCaesar]

Tried using the UAC5 onthe SRM24 atlas, failed miserably. Tried the AC10, not enough spare ammo, and I'm trying to save upfor the mechs on sale, so right now no endo-steel, using LB10X as my ballistic with a STD350. It actually runs pretty well, even saw an opponent run the same thing. Its less there for causing damage and more for shameless grabbing assists at range and causing cockpit impulse while twisting and aiming for crits. Its significantly cooler than the AC20, so I can fire it constantly even in tandem with my SRMs and not worry about it. I imagine that once its elited and has endo steel, the additional heat of the AC20 won't matter too much. SRM24 w/ 5t, LB10X w/ 2t, 2 ML, STD350 - lets me rush in there, often catching oppononents off guard and get away from danger faster than most other Atlas' I'm encountering can try to re-engage me. Can't wait for speed tweak.
