Anything else can be done better by a Hunchback or other Centurions.

Here is a good build.
Here is another.
Don't fall into the trap of trying to DPS with your SRMs. Fire them when you fire your AC20, then twist and shield. Wait for your AC20 to recycle before you uncover to attack rather than when your SRMs recycle. Only DPS when you're sure of a kill or the enemy is not shooting back. Facetime with the enemy is bad. Punch, shield, punch, shield, repeat until bad guy falls over.

A while back I did AC2 spam+LRM 5 machine gun. So bad I know but it's a long range annoyance machine.

I don't use it much, as I don't have any other Cents, but with similar mechs, I try to do gorilla warfare. Face time is bad on any mech, especially mediums. You can make good trades, but not many of them. You only have ~60 CT armor and ~45 on the sides. A couple of alphas from most lights will expose your internals, a solid one into exposed ST is death. Poke, run between buildings and flank while staying fairly close to your team.

I use a XL245 personally.

Either way, build is 3xSRM4, 1xAC20. It can wreck some serious face.

Just don't YOLO into the enemy team by yourself.
Find a group of assaults or heavy mechs and follow them, when they start engaging enemies at 300-400m charge the enemies and torso twist, alpha, torso twist, alpha. It hits really hard and doesn't take a whole lot to kill other mechs.

True. The Centurion AH is one of the more challenging mediums. If it were literally 5 to 10 tons heavier, with the same hardpoints, it could probably carry a standard engine and be a horrifying brawler. As is, it is somewhat of a glass cannon because of the XL engine - hit them hard and don't be the obvious target.

I think the best thing you can do as a newer player like me is to latch onto an assault or a heavy that isn't a long range build. Communicate and figure out with your team what the current target is, and provide support for that heavy or assault. You both will live longer and do more damage. Centurions are my favorite because they're the only mech that I own three variants of, so I'm a little biased on that. The best way to get into trouble with the AC20/SRM builds is trying to close a large gap on a mech bigger or fresher than you. They probably have more range, and you're not fast enough to close that gap and do your brawling before they pull the armor off your torso and blast off your shield arm.
I think I'm going to be trying some STD engines in mine. I notice that I get ST'd a LOT in the AH. Most of that is the reason mentioned above lol.
The Centurion is just plain BUILT for working in tandem with a bigger mech. When ever I band up with another medium/short range Heavy or Assault and make it my sole purpose in life to keep their mech mobile, I love my Centurion. Whenever I try and flank with some lights or take on targets alone, I often hate it. YMMV.

This is my favorite. Get in close, shield with that left arm and alpha to your heart's content.

To add to this, find a friendly fattie and be their best friend, or find an enemy one and be their doom, ideally from behind them
