I've tried to build an atlas-RS what do you think about it

It's okay, but you maybe better off with a build like this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...3929e3efeef2cb5

The lowest engine to brawl with is often recommended to be a STD 325, the other is the STD 350 for the Atlas.
But, you'd need four weapon groups. What's nice though is that the AC/20 and ASRM6s can be fired together at close range since they have the same cooldown.

So my groups would be like so:
Left mouse - SRMs
Right mouse - AC/20 (separate from the SRMs if you ever need to fire it alone and manage heat)
Third mouse or Group #3 to use keyboard key - ERLLs to hit at range
Group #3 or #4 (to use keyboard key #3 or 4, or another mouse button) - MLs, as your back-up for when you run out of ammo and/or tracking lights within 270m, can make you too toasty with many of the maps if you are firing your other weapons.

Hope I'm making sense.

You could easily trim 2 tons of that LBX ammo. I mean, that's a LOT of ammo.

+1 for this build, it is what I used to use on my DC. Now I'm mostly using the BH with STD 350 AC20, 2xLL, 4xML.

I use something very similar but theres a few differences. Change out the SRMs for 2 more LL. only take 2 or 3 tons LBX ammo its just for when you want to cool off and still fire something. left mouse button for LA 2LL on chain fire, right mouse button for RA 2LL and mouse 3 btton for LBX. Its my highest damage mech at 1200, and is suprisingly cool if you keep an eye on it.

If you don't wanna spend money on endo: Atlas RS -Long Range Atlas RS -Brawler

Only use endo steel if you want a larger engine mixed with large lasers/PPC's. Example: Atlas-RS -PPC. Use the PPC's +AC20 at 90-400m. Stick to the PPC's only past 400 meters. Fall back on medium lasers for lights or when you get caught under 90 meters.
