... Plasma rifle (IS version), or for something older, the Hatchet.

Just enjoy the thought of a heat and damage dealing ammo based energy weapon. Especially since it's a better version than the clantech variant. And a hatchet? Oh yeah, give me my giant robot barbarian warrior, jumping from the building tops and cleaving light mechs in twain.

I like PPC's (ER or standard), gauss rifles and medium lasers. I also like melee weapons :)

Not a big fan of the LB's nor missiles actually, even on the TT, they just don't float my boat. AC's are ok, Ultra AC's are better of course, but I certainly prefer the ones I listed above.

I generally don't like stuff that has to have ammo, except for the gauss, but I would think about taking an AC/20 or 10.

In classic Battletech i loved medium pulse lasers like in the Penetrator.
Or SRMs with tandem warheads from the tactical Handbooks would be nice.
Always priceless the look in the face of some *** **** Atlas pilots when they got stript of their weapons by through armor crits.
In MW4 paired doubble PPC with double UAC5

Basic/standard IS medium laser. Pair an array of 4 or more with a decent hole puncher (PPC, Heavy AC, Gauss etc.) and you can't go wrong. The Inner Sphere ER version is a waste of tonnage (heat sink needs are quite a bit higher) outside of use as a primary weapon on some lights.

I love PPCs with SRMs and medium laser for close-range backup.

Dual PPC for range/initial punch, SRMs (especially streaks) give good damage at short range, same with the lasers and they won't run out of ammo.

Large Laser - good damage & range, and doesn't threaten to set me on fire as bad as the ER version
LBX AC-20 - can't go wrong with these in a brawl, especially in multiples

Honorable Mention:
Linked Capacitors PPC (from MW4) - pewpewpew

My favorite is the Gauss Rifle, but I also like the ERPPC. I like to pair them together for a decent balance between weight and heat.


Ha, how original

I'm into the RAC 5 or the Ultra AC/10

I have two: Gauss Rifles (any one of the three; not excluding Hyper-Assault Gauss), and the energy weapons, especially, the Pulse Lasers. Yes,I know they pack alot of heat but they do quick damage as well.

For me, standard tech weapons would probably be the AC/5. Decent range and damage, only setback is the ammo and weight.

Star League tech, would be the ER large laser, especially it's coupled with a Gauss Rifle in a co-axial arrangement. Use the laser to line your shot and the gauss to punch through.

A useful setup on a Thanatos.

Personally, i love the Clan ERPPC. Slap a pair of them into a madcat with a few medium ER lasers and a set of 20 LRMs and your laughing.


You are welcome ApheX. The Clans may have "Annihilated" the Wolverine from their space but our most powerful invention lives on

Has to be the PPC.

It is such an iconic BattleTech weapon. And though not so in the BT universe, here in our world, something similar was thought up by Nikola Tesla. http://www.pbs.org/t...ll_wendwar.html

I keep throwing my money at my computer but nothing is happening.



Also, I'm pretty partial to the AutoCannons. I think they have ridiculous weight requirements though. They should really swap weight costs with missiles, at least in MW4 :/ Make me take more ammo or something.
