[Not A Real RAbbi]

THIS is now, perhaps, the ONE reason to own a BJ-1DC.

Put simply, it's one of VERY few mechs that can now run Gauss reasonably well, thanks to that generic 25% ballistic cooldown quirk (as opposed to the -1, which gets 12.5% generic and 12.5% AC/2 only). Not IDEAL, on a 45-tonner with no JJs and a small engine cap. Still, even with the 225 it can keep abreast of the Clan heavies (respectable for an IS medium). Throw in a Gauss cooldown module, and it's one of the fastest-firing Gaussers in the game. Add the ridiculous structure quirks of the Blackjack, and the significant capacity for backup lasers. BJ-1 is better for AC/2, and better overall in terms of mobility. But for OTHER ballistics, with an eye on DPS over fun or mobility, the 1DC is the Beej to have.

Liked for the sig Kon, congratulations.

I run twin AC/2s and quad Medium lasers in my 1DC. I do a lot of sniping with it, harrassing and making people break contact. I find it a pretty fun build.
