I dunno, after running 'phracts for most of 750 missions, I finally broke down and bought my first assault, a DDC. My first drop I knew I was in a different ELO bracket as I didn't recognize ANY names. Only played 3 matches but holy carp, talk about a different environment. The DDC kills as fast as I can waddle over to them. I'm sure that will pass, with time. I'm running 3xSRM6, 2LL, 1AC/20, AMS, ECM.

Granted, it's only been 3 matches, but we'll see how it goes.

Hey, I would change the 2x LL and AMS (with its ammo) for 2x LPLs for pure brawling pow pow!
i have a 3,50+ k/d on it, when on average on all ,my other mechs (cents, catas, phracts) my k/d is about 1.30

I might try that experiment when I get a few more C-Bills... I spent the last of them on the DHS upgrade. I don't see any benefit in Endo... since the ballistics are pretty bulky. As is, it runs a BIT hot on the desert maps, so I don't know if the LPLs will be wise.
Strategy wise, my learning-curve with my first assault is demonstrating that places like upper city where you can get a bit of cover in the narrow passageways is ideal for mugging other mechs or at least covering your butt from lights. I wouldn't take this mech far out into the open (no speed tweak yet) unless I really, REALLY had to. The wide open ranges are for things with some speed.

If you ever think to yourself "Man, the Atlas is really weak" you need to IMMEDIATLEY stop piloting assault mechs and gimping your team.

Learn the game in a medium.

@OP: In all seriousness though, the Atlas is fine where it's at. No buff is needed here.
