You're welcome.

No xl, slower (a 285 would be possible for one less ton of gauss ammo) - but the Heavy Metal is slow anyway. With a standard engine at least he is tough. 4 JJs suffice. A bit more gauss ammo. No CASE wasted. Gauss and engine padded with gauss ammo. Same heat efficency.


PS: I created this one a while ago for a friend: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ae1fffe32222fca

I would suggest never buying a van of any sort then....

your heavy is too slow, 10kph slower! also your armor is much lower than it should be.

a flawed attempt at greatness sir.

It's fast enough. An xl in an assault is...brave to say the least. Plus I stripped armor only from the legs and they have more left than a medium mech has for its frontal CT armor. No, more than a heavy mech has for its frontal CT armor lol.

And lets face it, dear sir...the CASE in your config is the THORN in your side, isn't it? It corrupts your perfection lol.

[DegeneratePervert]

I've been running something similar... but with a standard 300, since an XL in a humanoid assault is suicide.

HEAVY METAL

Made it better

Works like a charm too

[Solomon Ward]

Revealed ?
We already talked about that build 5 days ago.

Also - the C:A:S:E: looks ugly.
Get an AMS without ammunition so your teammates think -oh look thats a nice guy, he equips AMS for the team.

Shave your legs or do it like me and use an XL 325 and get a full ton for more ammunition.

Some prefer to get streaks and sacrifice a JJ and some ammunition.

Edit: and critpad that Gauss with ammunition please !

[Biruke]

mine is this:HEAVY METAL
two jump-jets are enough for most of the situations where you would want to use them.

+ the build is very heat efficient.

[One Medic Army]

Mine's less heat efficient, but higher brawl ability.

Nice build. Just one little thing: if you truly want an optimized build, you're gonna want more machine guns on there. Trust me on this, they're really totally OP!

[Jam the Bam]

I dropped the jumpjets for a mean alpha, gotta watch the heat but it does some serious damage:

If you want to stick to that - you can run faster (XL 325) with a single JJ at the cost of just one DHS - if you get endosteel.

Edit : Here you go -> http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ddd85b71cb6398a

I approve of your math(s).
For some reason i get legged quite frequently and got an XL 325 instead.

[GizmoGecko]

I haven't bought the Heavy Metal as of yet, but I've been experimenting with builds to see what similar ones I'll be playing with when the normal variants are released, and here are the main two I've come to find.

1. Brawler ("OH LORDY!" Yes the legs are at 53, but the only jumping he's made to do is for traversing terrain, not pop-tarting):

2. Alpha:

And I am aware of the cooling efficiency, but fortunately I take pride in my head management, so personally these builds would not be a challenge for me .

Cheers I like the look of that, I have been sticking with the extra DHS because its easy to over heat with 3 LL's, but I guess thats more down to my control more than anything.

Good point on the Guass.
