You would have to spend a little $ but the triple ac/10 or triple lbx ac/10 build on the murromets is spectacular if you're looking for one button mechs.

He said it.

If you want a simple murder machine, thats the one(3xAC-10 ILYA Muromets) to go with. Its the only mech in the game that can pack that firepower. You melt those atlases, You can flatout go kill two atlases in a row, with one overheat. You have effective range 450 meters (AC-20 has 270) and the amaizing fire rate. Nothing can top it.

Streaktaros are nice too. 5 racks of guided missile goodness. Or Stalkers, 5 racks of guided missile goodness with 5 back up lasers of your choice like PPCs,LLs,LPLs.

I'd take a StreakHawk over a Streaktaro. You lose one streak, but gain the ability to mount a nice ballistic. My gauss + 4 SSRM Hawk has been a monster. But if you're looking for the biggest boom, you'll end up needing to mix your weapons. The list that Victor posted gives a good examples of some of the blends that work well.

I've been playing with a 4 PPC Battlemaster, and while it's fairly nasty, if you alpha you shut down - plain and simple. I set it up to alternate PPC pairs, but even that isn't very good in an extended fight, and certainly isn't a "high alpha" build.

And I'm not sure if anyone has pointed you towards Smurfy's, but it's the best tool out there for mech planning. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/

While I can't endorse those, the 3 UAC/5 Ilya will afford you a similar "Click click click" one group experience. Plus that can run standard engine, no problem, if you're not throwing in lasers.
