I want to purchase one of these pretties, but i cannot decide for the life of me which one i want. Messed around with smurfy's and made some loadouts that I would like to have. Problem is, I can't make a ******* final decision.

733 - http://mwo.smurfy-ne...a7a6c651edff116

733c - http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b78c4879ba8f5b0

732 - http://mwo.smurfy-ne...6314eec5231a0a7

I do have a lot of SRM's on these builds, which i will probably replace with LRM's at some time.

Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated!

If you want to lrm the 733 is the best.

@Johnny Reb: your Link is broken

I have 3 Highlanders but deciding wich one is best is difficult.

Your C looks like my C Brawler, but I have only 1 JJ, Endosteel, and a Standard Engine, Weapons still fit well. Yet my Atlas Brawls much much better.

When using LRMs i take my P, since Ballistics+LRMs are too heavy, 3 ALRM10 + ERPPC + TAG + 2 MLs work very well.

Single LRM launchers are not that effective, so you either end with an LRM Mech or a sub par Brawler, you could take a Heavy Metal as a sniper. 325 STD + 3 ERLL + Gaus work rather well, and everything is in the arms for better targetting.

Everything else waits for an SRM buff...

When I asked the same question two months ago, people recommended the 732.

However, I ultimately found Highlanders not to my taste.

(I am better in Heavies than Assaults, and of the Assaults, the Atlas-D has been my best performer.)

As mentioned above, if you want to use LRMs get the 733P. I'd get the 733C, 733P, and 732 HGNs. I have the HGN-HM, 733C, and 732 and the most fun of the lot is the 733C. The most deadly is the 732 set up as a cheese 3PPC+gauss sniper but they are all very good for me.

I like your 733C loadout, you could try this one with a std engine but with streaks instead of dumb fire. SRMs do too little damage at the moment, and streaks are preferable for their lower weight and CT seeking. When they patch SRMs you can change your build to an XL. XL's in HGN's are fine as they allow you to carry enough firepower.
Here is a std HGN733C build.

Here is an XL version of the above with extra speed & DHS.

For your 732, I wouldn't mix LRMs and SRMs, mixing ranges like that is rarely successful. Another thing is to avoid taking too much armor off the legs as you can use the jumpjets to spread your damage around to your legs.
