Funny enough, it's my most successful Awesome mech at a 1.48 win/loss (95-64) ratio and a 2.10 kill/death ratio.

I like to run it as a missile support with a 375-XL. one LRM-15 in the torso and two LRM-10's in the arm.

Why tag in the arm? Cause with the torso twist and wide reach of her arms, she can almost look straight back while running from enemies to keep distance and keep the target tagged while her LRM's are flying. And having both lasers in torso give em better synergy.

Ofc, she's by no means the best LRM mech (or best "any" mech really) but she's fun enough to drive. Just keep the foot on the pedal cause you do not want to try to stop in this thing. Just keep twisting and turning that torso while keeping a safe(ish) distance. Most people don't realize they ain't gon catch her quick enough in their heavy or assault mech, especially not in the open, but everyone knows an Awesome is a "free kill", right?

Your build is suffering.

Here is why.

Artemis. Works on the LRM15 and helps it, but does absolutely nothing for the twin LRM10's.

Smaller salvo's? You shoot a tight 4 missile salvo already, it doesn't get much smaller than that.

So you are paying 3 tons just to get a smaller salvo on a LRM15, so 3 tons to better spent somewhere else as you are paying a 2 ton tax on the lrm10's.

Part of the problem with the Pretty Baby in General.

There was no lie when we said it has massive issues with hardpoints and equipment.

I love my awesomes, its the only chassis I have more than 3 variants of (9m, 8r, 8t, 8q, no PB) but right now:

The PB is just BAD, forget the head laser and count the hard points that can mount BIG weapons on the Awesomes.

8R = 6x energy points (2x right arm, 2x right torso, 2x left torso)
8R= 4x(15) missile points, 2x energy Right Arm
8T= 4x Energy Points in arms, 2x(15) Missile points
8V = 3x(15) missile points right torso, 3x energy (2x left torso, 1x energy right arm)

See that...even the terribly bad regular awesomes have 6 heavy weapon mounts

Now behold the 1/2 Awesomes (only 3 heavy hardpoints)
9M = 3x heavy energy points (right arm, right torso, left torso)
Light Mounts = 2x Lasers 2x Missile(2) in centre torso, 1 Missile(2) left arm

PB = 2x heavy energy points (right arm, left torso), 1x(15) missile point (right torso)
Light Mounts = 2x Missile(4) left arm

Merp... the Pretty Baby is a 1/2 Awesome franken variant of the 9M that has no torso weapons.

I don't like it, i have ALL the hero mechs except the Oxide. BH and Mis and DS are much much better.

Nobody would run this in competative 12's, its fools gold. And yes thats a measure of value, a great pilot can random drop and make it shine, its far to narrow in what you can do with it due to the number of tubes om the LRMS and the horrible Energy placements.

Discalimer I have it 4/4 expert, not worth the GXP to master it, its in a bay with no enginer which was taken to play with on something else.

[DYSEQTA]

I own one. Never use it. It's just bad. Looks awesome, but it's bad.
