I'll figure it out.
I take it that its supposed to be a single shot weapon?

well, not really sure, it can fire once in the middle of recycling after every time you shoot it, and shooting it like that makes it really, really powerful dps wise,probably stronger then the ac/20, but it will eventually jam, and you have to wait a few seconds to shoot again

gidonihah could ya help explain the uac5? im not really sure how to describe it, or what it is exactly

its an ac/5 thats been improved in many ways, range, rate of fire, etc. and it also has the double fire ability, but since thats always on, you can't just always hold down the trigger or it will shoot a quick burst, then jam, i say just go try it out and tell me what you think

fun when you get the hang of it tho, only thing with higher dps is ac/20, and thats not exactly a sniping weapon

Only jammed a few times in the 1st round, and damn that thing is good.

I reorganized my weapons a bit, put the laser on the arm and the PPC's on one side.
I took on a Stalker and started ripping its armor with ease.

How's this look?

[Just wanna play]

distinct look, nice

lol looks a little funny

hell yes it is, imagine what it will be like when the ultra versions of the others ac are introduced, personally im dreaming about the uac20

now you won't be just another catapult, you'll be a lop sided one!

hmm, didn't realize "distinct look, nice " was already on there, it got moved above the quote and i didnt see it

just so ya know, some cataphracts tend to boat uacs, so watch out for them

I'm just wondering, where the hell did the PPC on the left shoulder go?
There's like no place to fit it.

lol if it works, just don't question it

Shhh, or the devs will fix it.

I just think its missing the 3D model.

[Just wanna play]

i think the look of the various parts of the catapult change depending on what weapons are in it

Correct, but there is no 3D model for shoulder mounted PPC's.

[Just wanna play]

hmmmm, at least the weapon works, just be happy about that

Thoughts on this Stalker build, guys? I'm trying to go for more of a fire-support role with this guy. The dual-AMS are going to be nuts for taking out incoming missiles, and it'll allow me to stick close to other fire-support mechs and provide some protection.

[Just wanna play]

well the usefulness of dual ams is questionable right now, ill take a look at it

Here's a challenge. I have a Flame build, but I want it to mount 2 flamers. What else would I put on it to make it viable?

[Just wanna play]

looks pretty versatile, if i take off the ams you get 2 tons to play with, letting you do things such as replace the srm4s with srm6s or putting in more ammo, as well as put in another air of medium laserz, that would be hot, but still good at medium-close range if you remember to only use your mediums and not your er large lasers
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...0e82986c0fb6733

imo heat eff rating is kinda deceptive because it uses all of the heat all the weapons combined would produce, so if you have weapons used at different ranges, it might say it runs hotter then it really does, and in the cases of my version of your stalker, it would dissipate 59% of the heat the mediums alone would produce, which is pretty good, also, do you REALLY need er lasers? they are petty hot

I suppose I don't really need the ER variants. Especially if it saves me some heat.

What do you think about this other fire-support build? http://mwo.smurfy-ne...26fe267ad590b2d This time on a CPLT-C1. I'm making another one for a HBK and TBT. Trying to see which one tickles my fancy more.

[Just wanna play]

if you mean the hero mech, hows this?
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...82a06b1b2b8d83a

there is some room for tinkering, such as putting in regular mediums then upping the engine size, stuf like that

if you don't like uacs, you can put in large laserz and a bar for better sensor range:

another well rounded set-up, main thing i see that can be done with it is take out a medium or 2 and put in 1 or 2 jump jets, that way you can get shots off with your lrms by popping up from behind cover

That could work. Haven't really tried pop-tarting before.

Now I think this HBK is pretty solid. If I don't think the SRM is performing up to snuff I can just throw in an LRM20 and rely on the MLs for close-in support.

[Just wanna play]

or, change the lrm 15s to lrm 10s then put in ppcs instead of large laserz, you will do less dmg per hit with the lrm 10s, but it use less ammo per shot anyway, and you will also have ppcs to snipe people with
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...e39e5385f8000b1
not 2 hot unless you alpha ALL the time

I bet i found one thing that makes it better in every way, look at what engine it has, then look at how much the 255 engine weighs

It seems like if you're gonna' throw LRMs down-range, you might as well go big or go home. I don't get hit by LRMs unless A LOT are coming my way and the AMS can't handle them all.
