Thread needs to be buffed, it is no where near good enough.

The Highlander needs an omni-arm.

I would totally pay real money for an omni-arm on my Heavy Metal. Bring on that damn AC/20!

It would be good if other mechs were noob friendly like the 733C

[Training Instructor]

I agree. The only way to make this POS workable is if you can drop a missile slot for a ballistic on the left arm that matches the right arm. Then, and only then, can I see this mech getting above a .5 KDR ratio.

I thought the self-described elite players of competitive play had declared the 733C the must-have Assault Mech of our generation...?

Well, I've adapted the 732 to the "new meta", but I need to get back into the Assault (class) mode of doing things.

I had a 732 but I sold it. Just... Too... Slow. I have Atlases for when I need to feel like I'm treading through a tar pit.

733c was the first mech i ever killed 7 mechs in.
good times.

Probably now, before ghost heat it was the 732 (3PPC+GR), then the Misery 2PPC+GR/AC20 (as it still is now), earlier again it was the 4PPC STK-3F (over 800 drops on that thing for me ).

I know why the 733C is the preference, but it's just flawed IMO. Maybe it's just me, but 2 AC5/UAC5s haven't felt real effective since the "recent" UAC5 nerf.

Do you mean that they are OP? Later on ballistic hit detection is completely borked, a lot of times I place clean PPC or GR hits on standing targets to no avail. It happens also with ACs, but since they have an higher DPS for all those times the hit isn't registered, the following one usually is so they compensate HSR issues I think.

I lean towards "nothing to write home about". I'm not saying they should get a buff (well, I did actually, but for different reasons) but then again, I've never seen the a pair of AC5s that threatening... even with the quad AC5 Jagers that patrol.

Maybe just the AC5 pair isn't, but along with a pair of PPCs the matter changes a bit..

Every single competitive team will run at least 4 of the 733C. Its true, the team with the most Dakka Dakka and PPC range, wins.
