Let me start by saying congrats to all that played.

Ended up 5th in Assaults.

Note: All my assualts are maxed out in Mech Tree and the modules I used are Adv Sensor Range, Target Gathering Info and Adv Target Decay.

Started playing with Atlas (mainly founders for Hero bonus).

2 x LBXs alot of fun: [color="#b27204"]http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b3f90f4b21ece47[/color]
AC/20 and mach gun...try it: [color="#b27204"]http://mwo.smurfy-ne...257229447795d87[/color]

However, I played most of my matches in Awesomes for fun.

Love this guy but don't know if SRMs fully register at close range: [color="#b27204"]http://mwo.smurfy-ne...79e77a620779570[/color]
Need LRMs: [color="#b27204"]http://mwo.smurfy-ne...436f21f2a0e1709[/color]
My best Awesome...but didn't get much playtime: [color="#b27204"]http://mwo.smurfy-ne...73e801190783a33[/color]

Hints equip some AMS, Dodge LRMs, Aim for the legs on Lights.

Hopefully you guys will love playing these as much as I do.

PS looking at picking up a Pretty Baby...looking for build from someone who played in tourney.

Jenner 7D with 2x mediums 2x smalls 2x SRM-4

Ran 30-ish games in it with a 2.00 win to loss ratio and averaged 2-4 kills per game with it.

Too bad I couldn't have run more games. I'm a holy terror in that thing most days.

Pretty Baby 400XL

I've been playing low heat, low alpha, high sustain DPS builds with good movement lately to improve my piloting. I just can't pop and Alpha something with the builds I've been running since I picked up some Dragons, but it kind of works. Torso twist, moving, awareness are all important and I can't just two shot anything with it. It's very fun though and it's very rare that I see the XL engine as a disadvantage because I can spread the damage evenly over my mech unless I derp and get stuck on some terrain.

I'm trying it now with an extra SRM4 but not sure since it does overheats quite a bit since I traded in 2 DHS for it.

Hmmm... that looks very nice. I do love me some speed. Do you prefer the PB to the 9m? I've tinkered with some builds, and to me it looks like the PB leans a bit more towards SRM damage. Have you tried cramming a six pack in there?

Founders cat with 2 LRM 20's 3 ml and tag.

Tagged my own targets and stayed near the front not like the LRM boats that park on the base and lob missiles.

Started off well but couldn't play much over the weekend so I'm not in the top 25. Next one needs to be based off your average from your 10 best wins and ten best losses. That way it's not just a grind fest. Players who have time can cul their games those that don't still have a chance.

I mostly ran two mechs.

Founders Atlas with ERPPC/LRMs

D-DC with dual LB10Xs/SRMs

[MADSix]

Played mostly WANG 2MPL AC/20 3 Tons ENDO DHS FF 300XL and HBK-4G(F) 3ml ac/20 3 tons ENDO DHS FF 250STD
only got 68 games in but was under 400 rank most of the time. I did drop at least 1 time in each weight to get the overall rank 1080

[Red squirrel]

I mostly used my founders HBK-4G and a few times a TBT-7M

I only played 18 rounds in the tournament with a brand new PB I bought for the weekend. I managed a fairly respectable 1.33 PPG and had a best round of 1100+ damage with 4 or 5 kills (got the screen on another computer).

Here's the build:

lot's of fun to play, can't wait to get the pilot tree finished on this baby.

[Spar]

Virtually a stock Trebuchet for me, LRM 15 with Artemis, ML and Tag. Maybe as many as 100 games in that, even got as far up as 60 summit in the mediums, happy with that

95% of my matches I played a FLAME, XL350, AC/10, 4x ML, SRM4. 58 matches, average ppm was 1.3 and ended up 268th. Took me a while to get used to the firing delay of AC/10 instead of my usual LBX10, but wanted to work on a longer ranged ballistic build. By the end I was scoring 500+ damage pretty consistently.

Once my bank account hit 60mill, I played my 6 final matches in a JR7-F, XL300, 6ML. 1.83 average ppm, 1408th place with 11 total points. Been a while since I'd been in the Jenner cockpit, it was helluva fun.

My favorite to play was my AS7-D-DC. I set it up for Alpine Peaks and thought it would be crappy but it's been pretty resilient and has good range coverage across the board. Plus, taking out the right torso didn't seriously gimp it.

[Desist]

My breadwinner and only assault mech. D-DC. 2 ERLL, Gauss, and 3 streaks. Mastered with Adv sensor range, Adv target decay, 360 target retention, and target info gathering modules. Did surprisingly well with it as far as the ladder is concerned.

Also played like 30 games in my Dragon 1N. My favorite build. and another fun build. Someone asked me about that last build and I have no idea why.

[Benyamin]

I used my HBK-4SP most of the weekend.

STD 250 Engine
5 X MLAS
2 X SRM4 W/Artemis
2 Tons SRM Ammo
As many spare DHS I could carry.

But for backup, and just to change things up a bit, I also ran my HBK-4G(F) with :

STD 200 Engine
2 X MLAS
2 X UAC/5s
6 Tons UAC/5 Ammo
As many DHS as possible.

I hope you got a lot of c-bills at least.

Around 5,000,000 C-Bills. I think the hardcore players are considering this chump change.

I have my FAtlas set up similar but gave it Gauss for that all ranges, heat free, thump. no mediums though I gave it more ammo. I'll try your tweaks though, more pew pew is always better!

I considered the Gauss. But I expect it to be exploding all the time, and the AC/20 now has a nice 19 hit points. And doesn't explode. (And despite me storing my AC/20 ammo with the AC/20, I don't remember being killed by ammo explosions.)
