Most in this thread seem to think that having lots of PPC's and Gausses and AC20's is a joke build. Wtf? That's not a joke, that's a winning build. Use flamers and SRM2's and LPL's if you wanna joke around. Might also wanna throw in a single LRM5 that gets completely shot down by AMS just to prove a point of how stupid AMS-LRM-balancing is now.

You realize that these builds have so few armor that you can one-shot them? Oh wait, you can do that with every medium and light.. (or better: it is done with every medium and light).

LPL's haven't been a joke before the nerf, they ran quite cool. And I've run around with an SRM+2LBX JM6 as well as with an LRMando. Was fun, but not win (thread challenge: post your build and your win).

Nobody likes the PPC+Gauss meta.

Yup. 3 in the Hunch, 2 in the arms, XL engine. I do a 180Xl for the extra armor, though, that's the only diff. Just start training yourself to fire them 3x2 instead of all 5 at once. However, the 4-PPC standard engine Hunch puts all 40pts into one location, and that bump from 30->40 carries significant implications.


I do have a 6PPC JagerMech, but I eclipsed it with the 4PPC + Gauss Jager...

I have sooo many ridiculous jager builds. The silliest is the 6xAC2 that goes 35 kph, but the 5xAC2 with the xl 255 is actually surprisingly effective. Both sound amazing and are horrifying to be attacked by. I played a round in forest colony where I got three kills and was the last alive on my team against four enemies. I ran out of ammo and tried to solo-cap. A catapult came to kill me and we spent about three minutes playing ring around the rosey around the coffee grinder. It's juuust fast enough he couldn't get me.

You've literally never been in a jager, have you? They're extremely slot and weight limited. Think about how a 5 ppc stalker handles heat. Now take off 20 tons and a commensurate number of crit slots. You can alpha maybe once, and you can strip a limb by bumping into something.
