Ive been running my Vicky with

AC\20
2Mlas
3SRM6

72.9kph (without speed tweak)

and been having a blast brawling.

This thing hits like an atlas, but takes punches like an awesome, so definitely a team player, if you get caught alone you die surprisingly fast.

Of course I tried it with Gauss\2PPC and it makes an excellent sniper but I'm so bored with that build!

What do you guys make of the Victor? is It a poptarts dream? Or a giant centurion?

should have added another option, can it do both Brawl and snipe. because its a very mobile chassis it can excel in both modes, and I use an XL engine in my DS, and 9K and I don't think I was ever killed because of a side torso shot. this mech performs great with the XL, if you want the most bang for your buck, stuff an XL in it, you won't be sorry.

I think the arms are too far apart for sniping - the highlander does that far better while exposing far less of itself to fire.

One thing I am surprised about is how superbly nubile and nimble the minx is - it has great acceleration, makes the Awesome feel like it has a whale strapped to it, and the JJs are great. It carries a lot of firepower in its arms, but they are so far removed from the CT that they are barely targeted anyways.

It was built for brawlin', even moreso now that SRMs suck less.
