I'm looking at heavy chassis' like the Jager and Cataphract. My goal is a quad of AC's and at least a pair of med lasers or a single ER large for backup. I'm okay sacrificing armor and other trinkets to get my loadout. I woul dlike to have enough ammo on hand to actually be able to fight (1 ton of ammo through a quad just won't last).

What would you guys suggest?

At present I'm looking at a JM6-S, but I all I can really see is hardpoints. Would it suffice?

I ran quad AC/2 on a jager DD. The only advice I can give you is always shot em together, never chain fire. The ghost heat issue they have is brutal.

Not what you want, I know, but 3 UAC and 4 Mlas on a JM6-S can be effective. Give it a shot, runs hot though, bring cool shots.

I've been trying out CTF-4X

The hard part is getting to where you need to be.

use 4AC5s.

if you can fire 4AC2s heat neutral, you can fire 4AC5s heat neutral for the same amount of weight. Enough ammo for all

AC2s are horrible to use right now with that bug.

It's true that the heat penalty on 4AC2 loadouts is harsh. Nevertheless, I use mine alot because it's so much fun to shoot!

Jagermech JM6-S
4 AC2
2 mlas
525 rounds of ammo
12 DHS
Endosteel
Ferro-fibrous
Full armor
300 XL engine (82 kph with speed tweak)

Just keep your eye on the heat monitor. But the dakka will probably blind you! Have fun!

(apologies for any errors in the above list. I wrote it from memory. -Jag)

What about this or this?

My exact build 4ac/2s 2 meds. http://mwo.smurfy-ne...5cce83137a01ac1

I came into mwo as an ac/2 freak. My tastes have shifted towards UAC/5s where dakka is concerned. No matter how you look at it, burst damage is king in MWO. However, I still prefer dps/dakka. I find 3 UACs to be a better compromise between burst damage while still in the dakka camp.

Get the Jäger for your 4 AC/2 needs... That fit is a bit more appropriate on a 65 tonner. If you get the 4X Phract save him for the big boys like 2x Gauss or 4 AC/5s.

I ended up doing the jager. MAn a quad of AC's really burns through the ammo but it's a lot of fun.
