Wanted to share this build I decided to test because I had an AC/20 laying around my Mech Bay. It's surprisingly effective. Just accompany your main force and peek together with Assaults or Heavies, so you aren't focused. It runs pretty cold too.

Also, protect your right side as if it is your mother.

Dishing around 500-800 damage per match and getting from 2 to 5 kills.

The flying hunchback, always solid.

You can optimize that a bit further though
BJ-1(C)

Four tons of ammo should be plenty, but you could drop the heatsink for another if you wanted. The extra Mlas is worth it too, even if its not fully armored.

At first seeing someone discover a classic Boomjack on their own made me smile...
...then it made me frown.

That was one of the first community-designed Champion mechs, Posted Image And we worked long and hard to defend it when the voting for champion loadouts started. Did the naysayers and plebeians finally get their way and have the BJ-1(C) revamped with AC/2's or some such nonsense?

Nope, this is still the champion build. It's completely irrelevant and not really very effective due to quirks and meta shifts, though.

Ah! *phew*... eh, relevance is relative and effectiveness doesn't matter anymore, (since it isn't a Stormcrow) that thing is a piece of history, (along with all other mediums that aren't Stormcrows).

At first brush I thought OP was mentioning putting a twenty on a BJ-1(C), (leading me to conclude that when he purchased the mech it was equipped with something else), now I see that the first responder was the one who mentioned the champion and OP was talking about Something Completely Different.

Sleep deprived Levi drama.

Deep breaths. :)

Would you feel better or worse knowing the HBK-IIC has largely supplanted the SCR?

Better actually!

Because I own one.. just one, that I've driven once. (Impulse purchase). But I like it much more than I liked my Stormcrow. (It's a hunchie... with blue!! Yay!)

I bought one of those also, drove the thing once and promptly sold it... because the cockpit was ugly. More specifically the cockpit didn't look like it belonged in this franchise... seemed to be out of another mech game that was in development about the same time as this one. I hated it, and if the inside of a mech doesn't jive for me I can't stand it man.

LOL. I remember. I don't even see the cockpits...

Which HBK-IIC did you get? The base and A are both great (I favor the A, I have three of them...)
