Well I am playing just for a week now, couldnt resist getting HM. I quite a newbie, so i dont rly know if I am doing right, but this loadout seem optimal to me for Heavy Metal

My current loadout is

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...f67764a1af56e67

so

ULTRA AC/5

LRM 15

AMS

2xPPC

LRG PULSE LASER

59.4kph

1 jumpjet (seem enought to get into higher position or escape)

The only problem on this loadout is the armor and xl engine (but actually idk, 9/10 is usually the destruction of center torso, I dont really understand why so many people complain about XL on Heavy Metal.)

The Idea behind this build is, to have a good sniper and being able to brawl if needed - with AC/5 and LRG it seem to be possible.

Your thoughts?

here's my heavy metal build

and before you ask, this was before heavy metal was announced, you can imagine the awkwardness I have with the other pilots.

I use a stock weapons load out except Lrm I put the Lrm-15, changed and added some equipment to taste!

I prefer 1 Gauss, 3 Large Laser Setups.


1-2 Jump Jets. (used to run 5 before the changes to jump jets)


XL works fine on Highlanders.


As i use less JJ now i try Standard engine setups.


This one atm -> http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b781896c493ad56

Runs very hot tho.I will probably not keep it for long.



Edit: I also like 1 Gauss/ 2 SRM6+Art / 3 Med Pulse Laser

or 1 Gauss/ 1 LRM 20+Art/ 3 Med Laser


  Waiting for the Victor.I want that extra speed.
