Haha brings back memories! I used to run mine with 6xMG, about 8000rnds of ammo and 2 LPLs. Might still work well I remember it was pretty fast with an XL and full armored with the low weapon weightload... and never ever overheated!
Haha, been running this with my jager lately actually. The DD was the first mech I bought when it came out and MG's and LPL was the first load out I tried lol. At that time others packed PPCs, but they reported heat issues. What a blas thought, so many people hated it. At that time though MG's weren't much, but I still put out 300+damage.
But fastforward to last night... Made it all the way up to 560 damage. I shred through a few atlases, went toe to toe with an AC/20 jager and won (we died at the same time because the rest of his team was beating on me). I survived longer than him because I have a STD engine instead of XL.
But yeah, the latest report shows that they're still part of the game and more fun than ever to pilot. Light mechs are a PITA though because you need to constantly keep your aim correct and lead properly. Three tons of ammo, *might try to wiggle one more ton for the longer games that I survive in... I think a STD 300 or STD 315 is in mine.
