Grammar and spelling beat you senseless right now, didn't they?

engrish? lol just trolling xD

The awesome has a lot of potential, but its huge CT makes it very easy to kill. The best performance I've seen out of a 9-M was using 3 PPCs and an XL370 engine. However, a cataphract can use the same loadout with a smaller engine and maintain the same speed and cooling. Another good 9-M build was one involving an XL375 with 3 large lasers, 2 srm4s and 1 srm6. That however was back in the day when srms were super weapons.

Awesomes are difficult to pilot effectively, even more so in the current meta.

Putting in only a 300 is your 1st problem weather it's std or Xl a 300 is for the 8 series not the 9. 2nd u never do anything less then full throttle in it and that does not mean just run out all crazy at the enemy I mean when the fighting starts 100% throttle get that thing up to 80 plus kph and alpha and then torso twist do not i repeat do NOT stand in front of enemy like u r in a stalker highlander or atlas. I have had close to a 3.8 kdr in this mech with over 100 matches in it since they kept score so it's just the way u r using it that's all. 3rd try this load out ..... Oh yeah I don't give out, load outs like 99% of the community does!

<sigh> Why don't people get the 9M CT options? Its like none of you were ever given a choice about anything. There are 4 hard points in the CT with only 2 slots so that [drum roll] you can choose between all missiles, all energy, or a combination of the two. I know that it is hard to understand that but it isn't a bad thing at all. Don't be afraid of choice.

As for the 9M being bad, it is a fantastic mech that is greatly misundestood and hugely misplayed.

used all 3 of those builds xl engins just made me die quicker ppc weapons over heated to quickly not enough heat sink slots once the xl engine was in due to a low slot input and couldnt put in 3 ppcs with out a xl engine

Yeesh, this post.

Anyway, run your 9M with 3xPPCs, an XL385 engine, DUBS, and if you really care, trim 1.5 tons to make room for 3 SLAS (totally skippable, but some people can't get over the 90m deadzone of the PPCs).

Win two games and call me in the morning.

Torso twist, stay at range.
