I just wanted to offer u guys my funny WHK builds. I basicly chain every weapon grp in general (missiles too!) regarding to my own personal play style.

WHK- Prime: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...bf1286ab95f9d39

This One is pretty hard to play.. at least for me. Im not the best Sniper. But i got used to it!

WHK-A: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...04ee196ff990ff3

My favorite build. Average Damage 600-700! Chaining Lasers is the key.

WHK-B: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...e384be84ef21da0

The Loudout i played most. Good range and meele damage. I guess the most balanced build out of these three.

I hope i could help people, who are new to this awesome Mech. Im taking adviced too! So if u see any major or minor weaknesses in one of these Loudouts feel free to tell me.

How about a Warhawk B with 4 ER mediums, 1 u/ac20 and 3 srm6's with artemis. 4 tons of u/ac ammo 4 tons of srm. Use your left side as a shield.

Some advice - first, don't ever put non-gauss ammo in your center torso - if it goes, you lose the mech, instead of the limb or ST. Second, clan reload speeds are normalized, so using multiple small artemis launchers is strictly worse than using one big one, except in very specific situations. For instance, replacing the 3 ALRM5s on your WHK-B build with 1 ALRM 15 would net you 1.5 tons, which you could use to either add more ammunition, add more heatsinks, or (with an omnipod change) add an AMS to the right torso.

Personally, I'm not a big ballistics (aside from Gauss, which you can stick ammo for in the CT) on the left arm of the Warhawk. You end up needing to store most of your ammo in the right torso, which means that if you lose EITHER side torso, you effectively lose your big gun.

This is my favourite WHK Build:
WHK-B
I put the three lasers on chain fire so I can manage the heat better.

I also like the prime:
WHK-PRIME
It has a ridiculous amount of heatsinks and you can poke at an amazing rate.

warhawks can be decent brawlers when armed with srm or streak srm's. 1 srm volley and then a laser volley will core most mechs, assuming u can sneak around with it.

a combo of lpl and med lasers work nicely too with the range being somewhat similar.

My main brawler hawk build with a coolshot the speed you take 3 full alpha's with that build is awesome.

[Lily from animove]

3 LPL 2 med PL.
tc 6 rest heatsinks.

sad is, you can not put a tc 7 in it without having to stuff it in the arms. really sad somehow.

At first I didn't much like the Warhawk but I decided to fiddle around with it without messing with the pods. I generated 3 builds that turned out to be effective and fun.

Ok the prime first. Didn't change much really just replaced two of the PPCs with two LLas, replaced the default LRM with a SSRM 4 and a bit of ammo and gave it a TC4. Slapped as many Heatsinks as I could.

I tend to do 600 - 800 with this thing but I am also pretty bad at this game.

Next one is the A. ERLLs for long range dickery with LRM 15 to support things when I don't have LOS. The AC 20 is for when I get a bit closer and can start ripping people a new one.

Lastly the B variant I just ended up making this a pretty standard looking LRM boat with tag and 3 MLs for closer times. With the tag and artemis I have been able to just blanket a guy that is trying to fight me out at 400m with the MLs and 60 LRMS. Makes for a bad time for the other guy.

I tend to spend too much time with the Missile Swarm closer to the front than missile boats usually do.
