Please pick a different variant, maybe one with 2 energy...

It will get so destroyed by ssrms with machine guns range and its tiny size.

Edit: Would at least like to be able to gain some CBills and LP in my Pheonix mech to use the bonus. :/

Sounds like you only bought the first tier? They don't seem to get much better till you have the thunderbolt or battle master package, I'm most likely selling the locus besides pheonix version. i don't know exactly what your post is trying to achieve because I doubt they will change it because of one post within days of it coming out. All i can really suggest is to shell more money out for a better tier. It's too bad we can't choose which variant is "pheonix" since the pheonix variants mechs are the same(I think) than their normal variants just different colors with bonuses.

there are a couple different variants with better loadouts than the stock model slated to be the [P] is what he means. the one with 1 ml and 2 lrm 5 would be a good choice.

At first, I thought it might have a bit of a chance since it would go faster than all the other lights. But then last AtD, they said they're bumping up the engine cap on the ghetto Ravens to also go 170kph. Which to me means that the Locust is truly dead on arrival. The loadout is uninspiring, but not giving it a speed advantage will be the nail in the coffin.

The Locust that doesn't suck will be reworked into a hero mech....(refer to CN9-AH)

Just give it a day, SOMEone will figure out how to pack an AC20 or 3 ERPPCs on it.

So is the 60% of the population that is using SSRMs when it is this one...I pay for bonus's I can never get.

We'll see, it's supposed to be super small, which might help.

I don't care though, I'll drive it with smile in the hope I do kill something, because it'll be totally worth it.

The thing is shorter and more lithe than the freaking spider. I have a feeling that It's gonna have a strong advantage in that regard.

Considering the other 5 mechs are also the TRO:3025 variants I highly doubt they would change just the one. Though if we can slap MASC and AMS on it later it might still be a pain to hit. I wouldn't mind if they used the 3S but I guess a theme is a theme.

I tried. It's literally impossible. The absolute minimum build for a working AC/20 build would be 22 tons.

[Note: the XL190 is not mountable yet]

Stay out of trouble and put some shots from the flanks. In mid/late game try to forus your machineguns on target's weakspots (expecially parts without armour). Criticals should do the rest.

190 XL(170kph) + TAG = Cbills
