Well, I know Fangs are regarded as one of the worst Dragon variants, but this build is actually quite viable and fun in CQC.

Just don't fight over 300m...

edit: armor values may be a bit off compared to my actual build, I didn't remember how much back armor I gave to my Dragon... it's probably more than that.

And it's better to fight with 3 weapon groups than 2 for this one.

I'd prefer this one: DRG-1C
As you are not useless on long range.

Put the ammo in the legs and head. It is safer there.

it is possibly what I did on my actual build :D

It's the principle mostly. People say the Fang sucks. This build is actually OK! Well, I'm doing OK with it at least.

I love my Fang, ABSOLUTELY LOVE it.

But failure to use those 2 gorgeous ballistic points is an egregious error.

There are very few combo's that can beat out a AC2 / AC10 combo. it simply dishes out a monster amount of damage, all you have to do is hold down the trigger, followed up by trip medium lasers. 2 in the arm then the 3rd one on the torso for alpha's.

Easily 700 dmg a match most games.

I don't understand how some people can say the Fang is the "worst" while at the same time saying the 1C is the "best". They're practically identical.

Anyway, currently my two favorite Fang builds are:

XL340
AC/10
2 LLs

XL330
Gauss
ERPPC
2 MLs

Here's my XL360 build.
LBX10- 2mpl - 1ml - 3T ammo.

If you don't mind less than 50% HD you can drop a couple DHS and either add some ammo or go with an AC10.
