this isn't a guide or a discussion on strategy, but, a compilation of loadouts for a specific mech chassis . hence. i put it in the Mech and Loadout forum.

[Spheroid]

I like an AC-20 with 2 LLas + 2 LRM5 and an AMS. I also like my 360XL gauss brawler but the extra speed seems to get me away from the rest of the team which results in death.

Victor 9S

Victor 9K

Should be an interesting thread. Might share some later if I get time.

I use 3 flamers instead of ML's, 4JJets, full armor, endo and the cheapest XL engine with 3 dhs in it (I forget the number).

Its really great to take out other assaults and heavies. The 3 flamers cause them to shut down after just a few second's fire...and I even made a stalker detonate himself with his PPC's after jumping over and under him multiple times as I flamed him. Was hilarious.

[Angel of Annihilation]

One thing I have found is that they have alot more versitality than I originally thought. I have been through probably 10+ different builds between my three variants and haven't really found one to out do the rest.

My current best are the traditional 9S:

AC/20
3 SRM6s
2 ML
14 DHS
350XL
4 JJ

and my 9K

Gauss
3 MLs
2 SRM6 + Artemis
14 DHS
350XL
4 JJ

an my DS

Gauss
ER PPC
SRM6
2 ML
14 DHS
350XL
4 JJ

I'm quite surprised the 9B 350XL/ 4 JJ, AC20 + 2 PPC build hasn't came up yet. Doesn't look like much, but it has the same pinpoint as a AC40 Jager, doesn't have extra heat baggage, can reach longer than a AC40 Jager, and still hits 70 without speed tweak, with jump capability. Decent ammo load (4 tons IIRC).

Runs a bit hot if you rely on the PPC too much, in return you get a good mid-range bruiser. 100 to 300 meters you'll be able to do quite a bit of damage. It's tricky to keep the range open, doable though. It's definitely not the top Victor burst damage model -- it's more a precision shooter/ torso buster.

here's one i ran using the 3B slots in the 9B

DS-3 med laser, gauss, srm6, lrm10, 330XL, endo, dbl heat sinks, AMS, BAP, 494 armor, 4 jjets.

uses all slots and works like a charm

[Anjian]

I rely on an AC20 and 2 ERPPC build. Sometimes I experiment with changing to an AC20 2 PPC build just to reduce the heat, but from play experience, even with heat issues, the AC20 + 2 ERPPC build works quite well.

My play style is that of a precision sniper and I love taking out targets even when they're hardly big enough to fill my reticle.

My alternative builds are 1 Gauss, 2 ERPPC and 1 Gauss 2 PPC. The latter is quite a cool build, and I can achieve a near 1.9 heat efficiency, which is as good as a Cataphract 4X with quad AC5s.

My Dragon Slayer packs 3 PPCs and 1 Gauss. After the heat change, I changed the grouping from 3 PPCs (first group) and Gauss (second group) to 1 PPC/1 Gauss (first group) and 2 PPCs (second group). Works fine with me.

I'm using these:
VTR-9K
VTR-9S
The 9K makes judicious use of all hard points and every slot of space available.
The 9S also uses up all slots, but hard points are left free. Still, it hits very hard at close range, and it has long range reach. I could downgrade some weapons for a bigger engine (350/375), but the speed is just fine. It can keep up with most heavies and get away from assaults it can't deal with.
Alternatively, you can try this:VTR-9K

[ArmandTulsen]

I've been having some success with this build, but it just might be because of the PPC meta that I'm doing well in this build.

VTR-9S

[Johnny Reb]

I'm pretty much 2 erppc and gauss for all 3 builds, however will be selling at least 1 soon since im elited on 1 and basic on the other 2.

i run a similar build to your second 9K, but i use ML rather than MPL. it's becoming my favorite. i'm learning to love the ac20 on my other builds, but, having ability to reach out with the gauss is handy at times and gives you more tactical flexibility. sometimes i'll run an ac 10 instead of the gauss. it's sturdier and actually out paces the gauss slighty in DPS under 450 m.

This was the only AC/10 build that I found viable:

VTR-9S

The primary weapon is arguably the SRMs. I'm sure there are others out there that make it work with the AC/10.

I prefer this replacement for the AC/10:

VTR-9S

It has full armor like the one above, but it downgrades one SRM6 to and SRM4.

Alternatively, you can strip armor from both legs down to 53 and use the extra ton to keep the SRM6. That's the better option imo.

Vitor VTR-9B
RA - Gauss + 2x AC/ 2 (3 tons of ammo each)
LA - 2 MLas
XL 360
2 JJ

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...75e3b48d54e5b41

ammo placement and armor distribution might not be the same, except for the head where i really lower to 10 or so.
By the time i run out of ammo (if i do) i score 700+ damage, so i'm cool with that

Victor VTR-9B
XL 320
Same loadout as the previous one, except
LT - 2xSSRM (1 t ) + BAP (or not, can't remember)

I don't use the 9B, but this looks good. If they improve the LB10-X AC, this could cause some serious damage.
