This exact same build on a CTF-4X = WIN. With an XL engine I can carry up to 210 rounds of AC/5 ammo.

However, the 4X has a terrible speed cap, and more importantly suffers from having it's weapons in low-slung arm mounts: You spend a lot of time shooting dirt, and even low cover can protect your targets.

The Jagermech, on the other hand, fires from well above the cockpit allowing him to hit pretty much everything he can see and never worry about hitting dirt. Better yet, you can easily fire over top of friends standing immediately in front of you.

Mech chassis' aren't just big bags for weapons, the physical layout and such matters a lot =)

Ah. But the 'phract has chicken-legs. Never underestimate the importance of pseudo-digitigrade locomotion.

I think the best alternative to the AC40 Jager is whack-a-mole. It would be absolutely stimulating to the same type of personality that enjoys the AC40 Jager.

Giving it a shot. Feels pretty fragile so far, and chain firing the AC5s doesn't net the kills or the damage really.

The Jagger in general is too fragile to make it viable with an XL engine. The side torsos are massive; AC/20 Jaggers are death traps despite PUG popularity.
