K2 with 2x LBX and 2x Medium Pulse - One of the best builds in the game.

[Eric darkstar Marr]

Cata 3D Twin PPC Guass. people mocked me all the time now its a FotM...

Saw a RS running all MLs also.

Seen a tag only spider that wasn't trolling but serious then was sad when the team had no LRMs.

Believe me when I say I'm not being elitist or rude or ridiculing you.

Having said that, you could literally take ANY other AC loadout other than LBX and do better. On any mech. LBX is up there with MGs and Flamers in terms of viability.

A cat with one ERPPC

You can run x3 srm 6+artemis on a D-DC, with the 20.

SRM 6 have much more spread even with artemis, and MUCH MUCH more heat...
SRM 4 moves more like a ball of missiles.. So you can more efficiently engange at max range..

I once saw an Atlas DDC with only 2 ERPPC... not even sure if he had ECM either.

What is this i proved this wrong earlier.


25% more heat for 50% more damage SRM4 vs SRM6

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

THIS IS WHY PGI IS INCAPABLE OF BALANCING ANYTHING.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU SAY STUFF IS FINE WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!

[Penance]

an atlas of some sort with 3 srm6's and an AC20, nothing else.

in this game where I died and hung around to observe, this atlas' ac20 was destroyed, it came down to him vs an opposing K2. He ran out of SRM ammo, and was totally useless...not 1 single energy weapon.

Chat lit up with guffaw's that day.

Take a look at this Worst build contest thread I started a while ago:

[N Danger]

Spectating last night and saw an Atlas DDC with 2 LRM 20s, 2 large Lasers (ok these were not so bad) but in the ballistic slots 2 MGs.
I mean you wouldn't want to waste those Ballistic slots on, a AC20, or a Gauss Rifle, or a UAC 5 (or 2). No sir! MGs FTW!

You do not consider accuracy... Yeah srm6 is much better very close but has alot more spread on max range.
srm4 is great to fight at max range it flys more like ball than a waveing-swarm of missile.

And when i have an AC/20 and two LL to back them opp, srm4 is just perfect...

A Spider with a single AC2.

An Atlas D-DC with ECM, 1xAC20/ 1xLRM20. he still won against the Pretty Baby with 3xALRM15 and 3ML. WITHOUT TAG!!!

I once forgot to mount weapons in my Hunch -.- Played meatshield and capper in that round xD

I've done that, but with a sm laser backup, bap, and adv sensor module. It is a lot of fun plinking people from max range and watching them do the "where'd that come from?!?" from circle. Gotta do something to level that 5K.

I have seen A1 catapults with only lrms many times.

I love coming up against these once I get within the LRMs minimum range

[Salis777]

DDC with 2 ERPPC, 2 LRM15s, 2 Machine Guns. 1 Weapon group was the ERPPCs and the machine guns together. Just to give the ERs a 0.04dps boost on those pesky Ravens I guess.

Saw a splatcat full of SRM4's today...I can't even begin to imagine how he couldn't find the extra tons to upgrade them to SRM6's.

If it was on the enemy team then he probably had ASRM4s, because the Artemis system does not show up on the info panel for the enemy. If it was a friendly (and you were in his cockpit) and he was all SRM4s, then I agree with you.

An all ASRM4 A1 is not that bad, better concentration of damage at range, better heat control and more shots per ton of ammo.

It is also possible that he was just trying it out and did not stick with that build.

That's why I have a problem with PGI sticking to canon variants. This will not only reduce the number of the avalaible mechs but also produce boats or inferior mechs. And they don't stick to canon with the HeroMechs ;-)

Another Atlas was a D-DC with 1xAC2, 1xAC10, 2xLRM15 and 2xML. And no ECM on top to it xD

I know on paper it should be quite poor, but, 7 deaths and 42 kills with that build would disagree with you. It MELTS centre torso's.
