So, now that we've had the Phoenix Mechs for 10 days, what loadouts have you come up with? Let's collect our best ones!

I'll start with the one I'm using on the BLR-1G: BLARG
2x AC/5, 6x ML, 1x ERLL

On the BLG-1G, I use something similar, but as compared to yours, it comes with a harder mid-ranged PUNCH as compared to yours.

Besides, I've found that the BLR-1D is a better AC/2 Delivery System.

I'm rolling something very similar. Started with the exact same build and loved it. Swapped out one AC5 for an AC2 for extra dakka. Loved it even more. BLR-1G

However, my BEST Phoenix mech is right here: SHD-2H. Doesn't look like much, but it surprises you.

That looks like an interesting Shadowhawk build. I havent gotten into them yet, but people are craving about the Shadowhawk. I think I wanna try the Thunderbolt next though.

Been having the most luck and fun with this guy. Interchangeable with the BLR-1G i know, was trying to find a 1D build that worked for me to get basics and enjoyed it so much I stuck with it all the way to master, doing the same with the 1G now.

Doesn't require much heat management and you can keep blasting away with the ERPPC alongside the 2 x AC5s unless you're really in the thick of it. A bad game usually nets at least 300 dmg. Usually...

Haven't really touched the others yet but I'm rather looking forward to the TDR!

Laser boats for just about all of them.

Except shadowhawks. Now that is a versatile mech.

[Schrottfrosch]

I only ran Locusts and Shadowhawks often enough to come to an opinion.

Locusts are fun, but you should be in a pack of them (or "swarm" might be the better term for that ).

Regarding the Shadowhawks I really fell in love with the 3xAC/2 + med laser SHD-2H with an XL-255. People say, stacking AC/2s is for trolls only, but this thing rips through side torsos like a hot knife through butter - also you can fire the AC/2s nicely while not needing to expose much of your mech. I run the SHD-5M similarly by combining an Ultra AC/5 with an AC/2. I do not really like the 2D2. I use it as a light hunter mech with 4 Streaks - I might think about changing the setup to an AC/20 with standard engine one eventually...

I've been working through Thunderbolts first. My current favorite is this version of the TDR-5S It has 3 MPL, LB-10X, 2 SRM6, 15 DHS, Endo, 300 XL. I've had some decent success with this one and it is a fun build to run. Some of the builds here are making me think about which chassis to work with next

Happy with my thunderbolt, easy to use, and surprisingly effective.

[Malsumis]

This TDR-5S is my favorite Thunderbolt so far. I've worked through quite a few builds and found this setup to be the most effective. The AC5 + AC2 setup works well for rocking the enemy mech and also gives the setup some range. The ammo is tight on this setup so need to make shots count. This mech is not a spray and pray ballistics setup. It could easily be modified to have more ammo perhaps by dropping 1 SSRM and 1 DHS, but I find it has just the right amount. And even when you run out of AC ammo there is still plenty of firepower with the medium lasers and SSRM's.

Here are my other setups for the Thunderbolts: TDR-5SS & TDR-9SE

Going thru various ideas, ERPPC and artemis and less DHS, still trying to figure something out but i like the idea

[toncrell]

ahh ok ty bigg time knoniving

[toncrell]

ok here's what im running on my shadow 202. 1 Er lrg laser and 4 srm streaks 10 double heat sinks 1 ams + jump jets with a Xl 360 engine. I love this thing it puts your speed at 106 kph. your a fast recon mech because your armor is about 286 give or take some tweeks but with the double heat sinks you can alpha if ya just need to or normaly use chain fire for the srm's and be just fine with the heat.Its the closest I can come to for the SDH 5s variant used by spec ops, which honestly is way better then this but im sure well never get to use that variant. I cant seem to figure out how to load the mech lab on this page so sorry for not being able to show this to you
