A little work gets a 225 XL into it: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...060cdc325dc87dd

Over a 30% increase in speed - definitely worth it in my opinion. It also gets you an 11th heat sink.

Yeah, that build by the way is extremely fun to play. It makes this mech an strange kind of harasser. You fire off a few volleys then flee to a further distance. Until such time that you run out of LRM ammo, which I should mention even on two tons I do frequently. Then at that point, you pick brawl with small mechs.

The other role you can play is hang out with the other LRM boats and defend them against small mechs.

i'm probably mad but i'm running a 4 x ML and 1 x 5LMR. it's fun fire of my LRM on the way in and use the mediums to surprise the big stuff while it's fighting your big stuff.

So, when your leveling up your 3L in order to get your skills. You end up with a spare 210xl engine. I am torn between these two setups:

RVN-2X (210XL, LRM15 + Art, 4spl, 10dhs, 3 tons ammo)

or

RVN-2X (210XL, LRM20, 4spl, 10 dhs, 2 tons ammo)

Note: My current play style with this mech is Harasser and gun-line protection. This means if everyone is spread out I generally move about and send a couple of volleys into a damaged mech, then run around corners. If the other Heavy/Assault mechs are piled together, I stand with them and volley until a light comes to brawl. Then I spend my time trying to leg the light in melee with the big guys.

With this I found, I really don't need larger lasers. Currently, I lack the Artemis system on the first mech and the double heat sinks, but I am only 300k C-bills from the dhs. I run 2 tons of ammo at the moment and frequently get matches were I run out of LRM ammo.

Update: This would be the logical upgrade from the first one:

RVN-2X (225XL, LRM15+Art, 4spl, 11 dhs, 3tons ammo)
