The cataphract 1x is the only mech in game capable of carrying 5 ppcs and a gauss. Lets just say even though you have 0 armor you will have a great time crushing mechs from outside their ranges lol the build im showing is with ppcs although i run it with er which cause you to overheat very quickly.

Lol nice,your gonna start a rage of whining about another op boat build.:-) that build would be very entertaining to use a few times or so just for kicks.

CTF-1X

Drop 2 PPCs and it becomes almost viable with space for near full armor + 2 more 1.4xDHS.

Misery?

edit: nvm, not enough ct slots.

I'd say the 3D is a better platform with more mobility albeit only 3 ppcs. At only 50kph that 1x build is kind of limited, still a nice sniper boat though.

[Vodrin Thales]

Anything more than 4 PPC's is only a funny pug stomp build. Rate of fire is too low due to heat production for competitive play.

[Skyfaller]

You could just replace the gauss with a UAC5 and load an XL engine that can load 1 or 2 heatsinks in the engine itself and give about 10 armor to each location.

Firing from 700m range or so you'd have enough armor to not lose weapons over long range scratch-lasers and the random missile that might hit you before you get fully into cover.

Youd lose 5 damage overall but you gain a much bigger engine and survivability.

Enjoy it while you can once they bring in anti boating measures you'll not have the chance.

[Triple Patte]

Enjoy it? The thing doesn't even have armor lol.

Nice joke build.

[CygnusX7]

2.44 tons left but why not just run 4PPC's and full armor?
With 17 heat sinks you can actually fire the thing.

or level out the weight with a 315XL and you'll be at over 80kph with a 40Alpha mech that can actually deal with the heat and take a couple hits.

I see people still seem to forget that the game is balanced by more than just weapons and damage. 5 PPC will produce too much heat to be viable not to mention the weight of 5 PPCs AND a Gauss + Ammo being more than weight than the mech can carry.

Gauss and Ammo = 18 Tons
5 PPCs = 35 Tons
Total = 53 tons

Sorry but I think that the Chassis, Electronics, Engine, Gyro, etc weight more than 17 tons total.

Misery cant because you cant fit a ppc in the CT only a LPL.

3D with 2/2 a tad bit hot, but beats the heat restrictions.

I thought I would see how the other side was living for a while and build almost this exact same thing with my 1X.

Slightly hot, but definitely manageable.

a PootyPhract (next Champion mech) called it!

not hot at all i run the exact build on a k2 with 2 less dhs. i actually ran it with 17 dhs and a std 225 pre RoF change and that was very managable even with the standard.

I'd love to see this CTF build... in my crosshairs.

If i spot you first your ******.

[CygnusX7]

How about a 2x Gauss, 2x PPC ?
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...6d60d326dc565c8
Approaching half armor at least.
