If you chainfire 3 UACs theres enough delay as to where they won't jam

Flame, Ilya, or X-5.

I am enjoying the living hell out of Heavy metal but I can't give you an honest opinion on if it's going to better than the regular version so I would advise to hold off.

Pretty Baby has it's charm but aside from it's engine it's rather rubbish.

Wow, didn't expect such a unanimous choice. Anyone know any good non-uac5 builds for the ilya? I have the worst luck with jamming and I don't wanna use a macro

Personally I like using either a Gauss rifle with 3 large lasers or an AC20 with 3 medium pulse lasers. For ***** and giggles you can try out a triple Gauss config too, but it's mostly for putzing around. It's amazingly effective if you can keep your range on something like Alpine though. 3 LBX10s can be a lot of fun as well, but I haven't had much luck with that one.

I own the Death Knell, Yen Lo Wang, Flame, and Heavy Metal.

I'm going to pt in my two cents.

Flame, install a standard engine and an AC 20 (high shoulder mount, tiny target, looks non threatening), 4 mlas in the arms (all arms make shooting lights easy), and an LRM5 (because you have to have something to shoot long range)

I stay between 270 and 180m and make bank.

The Heavy Metal. Jump jets on an assault! Easy to aim heavy weapons. It plays music! It will be a lot better when you can color it.

Honestly the Death Knell and Yen Lo Wang are hard to use. I have no experience with the Ilya, but I have the jagermechs who can rock multi UAC5s.
