wonder how much pain this would be when you sneak up on unsuspecting mechs and just alpha them...

I hae been using my JM6-DD as a shotgun jager and having a lot of fun.
put in 2 LB10x's 4MG, 2 Mlas. against a full armor opponent it not that hot but once things start to take damage it cripples and kills fast.

Normally I would insist on using an STD engine on a Jager. Especially if you're making a brawling Jager. But even with SRM4s you lose too much speed even after sacrificing ammo and armor, so I guess it's a toss up. You could try AC5s long side some SRMs.

It's not very shut gunny but you gain some ranged capacity and a nice rate of fire increase.

AC5s would be an entirely different purpose.

Yeah but they fit and you don't have to brawl in a barn with an XL engine. I guess what I'm saying is that while the weapon load out looks really fun it's also a very vulnerable design. A Jager's best defense is cover, range and raw, pinpoint burst damage. The shot gun design negates almost all of those strengths.

2 lbx 2 srm6 std 200 11 dhs, 5 tonne lbx 2 tonne srm.

applied the idea in a DDC... minus 1 SRM, but double the armor

its the scariest thing to come across with shredded armor, basically if i can get a shot in you, your weapon -> arm -> torso -> core is going bye bye fast

LBX isn't hot... perfect for component eating, and SRMs are just so spammable when you chain it... basically my 5 hard point torso in the DDC is just a massive pump action shotgun

You can also apply the concept to an Orion (sort of).

The added boon of the lasers gives you added range and reduces ammo dependency.
