Tried a 733C today but it sucks really bad
and is a hot piece of crap...

Why can we not have energy arms and ballistic on any HGN?

Also, the 732, does it have 2 times 6 tubes on it's arm?
Or two missile points but only 6 tubes?

You can know how many tube by counting the number of tube it's arm or torso. Ballistic arm with Gauss rifle is more deadly if you can utilize it.

The 733P has arm energy...

Why is the RVN-4X the only one with ballistics?

It blows up kind of easily though. My AC/20 gets killed fairly often, and it has way more HP.

Other mechs that can have both ballistics and energy-weapons on arms include all Dragons except Flame, RVN-4X (not like there are many light-weight guns for it) and of course the CTF-3D and the Hero Cataphract. Sure, the Heavy Metal will carry a little more; but it's not like the combination of guns and lasers on arms is unique to that variant.

I think it is a trade off for the ability to jump.

[BlackSquirrel]

I dunno why can the YLW be the only cent to carry an arm mounted AC/20?

Part of the allure to make you buy it... Also it's not the only variant with arm energy hard point.

And this wasn't even my best game so far.

[TruePoindexter]

The 733C is fine - a solid mech when used correctly.

As for energy arms the 733P and HM both do.

And pays the price by having no ballistic at all.

[jeffsw6]

I've done over 900 in my 733C. 733P and HM are also clearly good mechs. Not sure that I care for any of the others.

On 733P I've got PPCs on the torso and LLs on its arm. It gives me options.

Ok, let me rephrase.

Looking at the HM, I was hoping for a similar variant.

Using SRM6 in the arm is OK, but I actually
think it has nothing over an Atlas...

What build of HGN would you recommend?

[LordBraxton]

4ppc 3 streaks

33P

The 4x isn't mc only.
