Hello again folks! I joined this game about 2 days ago, watched some guides and stuff and i think i have gotten great control of my own mech, and effective range of my weapons, I chose an Atlas as7 D-DC with 20 heatsinks
1 AC/20
3 SMR 6
2 M lasers.

but for being a big *** schoolyard bully I feel more like a big sister then a big brute, but now its a fact that schoolyard bullies are big sisters anyway, but i kinda feel like I am sitting in a light mech with just extra armor, because my firepower dosent feel dirty enough to cut through at the moment it is 66 i still need a bit of learning, so its no doubt my fault that this mech feels like big sister, but i dont really know what to do to Cut through the enemies easier to make it feels like the brute it look like. btw my mech is work in progress, so by no means is it finished customized yet!

any Atlases with tips?

Here are the Atlas-DDC builds I would use. Adjust armor the way you prefer it. The gauss can also easily be exchanged for an AC20, based on your preference.

In general, here are some Atlas piloting tips.
1. Swing your torso from side to side after you fire so that your arms can block some of the damage aimed at your torsos.
2. Stay with your teammates at all times.
3. Do not go out into the open unless you're sure there is adequate cover or that you won't be getting shot.
4. Do not try to tank LRM fire, you will die quickly even if you have a lot of armor.
5. Use your arm weapons to fend off lights or to finish off red parts of enemy mechs.
