HBK-4P Typical Build

HBK-4P - Speculative Build

Can anyone suggest why these two builds have different Cooling Efficiency in Smurfy? Sadly I can not check these in the MechLab.

It's not complicated.

If you have simply have the 10 engine HS that is given with a 250 rated engine, going straight DHS would make you more heat efficient by default.

So, the 25 SHS version is the equivalent to having a 250+ rated engine with approximately 4 external DHS (14 DHS total).

Here's another way of looking at it.. assuming you have a 250+ rated engine, switching to DHS strictly is the equivalent of having 20 SHS.

External DHS does not have the same dissipation rates as the ones in the engine, thus the discrepancy. Every DHS in the engine is equivalent of 2 SHS. Every DHS outside of the engine is the equivalent of 1.4 SHS.

The heat efficiency rating doesn't lie in Smurfy.

Ah so DHS inside an engine still operate at 2.0 dissipation and not 1.4 as per DHS outside an engine. I thought they had done away with that.

Edit: And to make it even more intuitive, it's just the first 10 HS in the engine that retain the 2.0 bonus.

Nope still there.

I think the single heat sink equivalent of your 18 DHS is something like 32-33 single heat sinks (for the same heat efficiency that is)

31.2

ignoring feet in water bonus for SHS

heatsinks that come with the engine count as 2.0 if you switch to double heatsinks, otherwise they're 1.0. This is why double heatsinks are the best choice in 99% of all mech configs. out of engine dhs are 1.4.
