Smurfy isnt working, so what I have is
JM6-DD
FF armor, Endo-steel, Dual HS
LBX10, AC5, ER PPC
90x AC/5 ammo and x30 LBX10 ammo
Maxed out armor
BAP, CASE on both sides


So here is my question, I have just about 2ton left over if i take some off the legs. What shall I do with it?

Also, I die in this just as much regardless of the armor. Wtf is the deal? I know I am not that bad, and I should be getting better. Nearly 200 drops already

What engine are you running?

[Utilyan]

Mgs or bigger engine, or ultra 5, more ammo, or heatsinks.... Maybe consider a choice based on how you die. Like if its to brawling vs snipe. you can fit a TAG too prob if you doing support.


Or have fun... get a flamer

[Curccu]

So you are running something like this
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...197445d58f28eb8
with some Standard engine because XL won't fit with FF-Armor

kinda weird and mixed weapons for my liking, slow engine, about useless BAP (you don't have missiles so no real gain having that) and that 1 ton that is used on C.A.S.E.s might be better used also, ammo explosions are kinda super rare.

If you really like to brawl here is some mechs to save for

• Ilya Muromets – Costs real money, but gives a 30% C-Bill boost. My 2^nd favorite mech with the 3D being my first because it has JJs.
  
• CTF-1X – Hard to argue with this mech and it is one of my cheapest designs
  
• CTF-4X – The mech is not as fun for me since it makes killing anything too easy. Also do not hold down the trigger fire let go and fire again to prevent the UACs from jamming.
  
• CTF-3D – My favorite because it can jump. I spend a lot of time up in the air and I do not mean jump sniping “Poptarting”

Just some ideas for you in the future. Good luck and good hunting (Oya)

XL260, running about 64ph. The thing I like about this mech is I can reach out and touch em or get close and knock em down. I really have to work on that abysmal 0.47 k/d ratio.....

What are you aiming to accomplish with this mech? I'm looking at your weapon loadout, and it confuses me.

[Rhaythe]

If you're looking for a double-D with some range and close-fighting capability, I took a quick stab at normalizing your loadout a bit:
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...2135a9b7976e1ce

As you had it, I'm not convinced you had enough stopping power close-up. The PPC felt slapped on, so I replaced with with lower-heat and rapid-firing dual-AC5s. You'll still get plenty of range, same damage, less heat.

And the medium lasers are because you need'em. I hate being in a Jager and having my arms blown off without backup meds.

[Claxton Weathers]

Even though you have regular AC's on it, the UAC's jam up on me so bad I have probably died 10 times because of it. The PPC puts a smackdown on them, and It was just personal favor-ability and range. It has such a heat problem I tried to stay away from energy weapons at if all possible. Ill give that one a try Rhaythe, i do like the looks of it.

Depending on how trigger-happy you are, that loadout may not have enough ammo for you. Part of the problem with you split your ballistics like that. Let me know how it works for you.

Also - yes, the LBX is a close-range weapon, but don't underestimate it. It has a heck of a range, even though it has a spread.
