non of you have run a striped down jagermech I know that, els you would not give BS "advice" like that. The Jagermech jm6-dd is a waste of money. get a cata x4 instead... dont buy this crap.

get a muromets i have the s and 4x the muromets is far superior as a ballistics platform i run 2 gauss 1 erppc and for brawling 2ac20 1 large laser

[LordBraxton]

more than 2 ballistic slots is plenty and more than 4 is ridiculous DD is worthless

Tried the 6x AC2 build today. Doesn't work. The ammo is a big problem and you just can't have enough of it. And for the ac2's to do their work you need to be able to sustain them for a long time but the two problems stop you; heat and ammo.

So, not sure if this build has been mentioned, as I don't want to go through any more pages.. I got to 5 and stopped. I have the DD, and like it fairly well with the build I've done. I've attached a SS of the build as well. He's a little slow, but nothing that isn't bareable. Also, he can take a beating, and put down some damage. Anyway, I may get a lot of flack on this build, unless it's been mentioned before...

I really like the DD, but I run 3 AC2s in one arm, and an AC-10 in the other.

It'd be possible to do the same build on a regular Jager, I know, but the potential for assymetrical designs just thrills me!

[Taemien]

Why do you all judge people for using things they like to use? Leave them the hell alone. Bother the people in your groups/guildes/clan/units not the random PUG or forum user. This thread is borderline harassment.

Problem being that machine guns plain suck. If they didn't, then yes, JM6-DD would have some uses. I don't really care for that build, but even if you DID want to go with those primaries, then backing them up with a couple slas will be a lot better than backing them up with a few tons of machine guns and ammo.

I did spectate on an interesting Jager-DD build that seemed to work.

He had 3 AC2's in one arm and an Ultra AC 5 in the other, so there was no shortage of shots heading down-range. Now, I have no idea what sacrifices were made to achieve this 27 tons of ballistics, and maybe the mech is terrible objectively, but he sure tore things up in that battle. The DD alone makes this work the best because all of the AC2's were on one arm, ensuring excellent convergence.

That being said, the Jager-DD is still mostly useful (IMHO) as a way to get an Xcel engine version for a discount on the engine... and I guess for machine guns...

4x UAC5 w/ 6t ammo, 304-ish armor 55kph or so post-tweak. Totally field-able as a support unit, Tons' o fun.

And then you run around naked just wating for that hit to take out your ammo with one hit.... year...


Feel free to buy this mech, you will be nice easy free exp for my stalker... *GG*

Come - lets dance.

Just because a mech has 6 ballistic slots doesn't mean you have to use all 6. As others have said the JM6-DD is good for cases where you were only going to mount dual energy weapons anyway like a 2 AC20 mech. It's not as appealing as the JM6-A and JM6-S but it's not a bad mech.

The Cicada 3C and Spider 5K... those are bad mechs

JM6-DD

thats how its done, with armor too, but not too strong of one gives you the minimum HS, so CS 6 and a CS9x9 are needed to at least keep shooing...or run away. Its slow, but its the only way to get all that on the mech AND ammo. You can still adjust the ammo if you want more HS. But with the AC2 being the hottest gun in the ENTIRE game because it shoots faster then the heat system can cool you down, no matter the number of HS you have.

so you run 2x AC20 with around what 28 rounds? thats 560 dam you can deal pr match.... waue....

AC40, 63 rounds, XL260

Not that you couldn't do that with any of the other Jägers

This mech can't take a beating moving that slow with an XL engine. It just isn't possible.

Interesting idea - it's a little slower than I like and I question the value of the MGuns. I think you would be better served ripping them out and just adding a more DHS or a larger engine.

This mech is pointless

You don't need to do more than 500 damage with dual AC/20s, since you can take down most mechs with one well-placed linked shot.

The point, if there isn't a good build that uses the 6B, then why have the JM6-DD? Whatever you plan to do with the 4B, you can do with the JM6-S as well, and then when you want to do something with 4E you can swap it out and back whenever you want using only one mech bay slot. There's no reason to have a JM6-DD if you don't make use of the 6 ballistics.

That being said, there's way way more useless variants for multiple chassis out there, not sure why we're focussing on this one.

Because you need three mechs to get to elite and it's not a bad mech. It's not like with Raven's where you have to suffer through the inferior 4X or worse Spiders where you have to live with the totally useless 5K

Yeah I think that's all anybody is saying. Level it up to elite, then sell it, get one of the other jagers, and don't look back. It's not worth keeping.
