soo here they are
think of it as a mini (big) light mech ;p

TBT-3C - 4 mids - 2 streak - AMS - BAP - 130 kph - 322 armor - 12 heatsinks

**
TBT-3C - 1 ppc - 3 mediums - 2 lrm 5 - 123 kph

TBT-3C - er large laser - 3 mids - 2 lrm 5 - 130 kph

TBT-3C - large pulse laser - 13 doubles - 2 streak - 1 medium laser - 2 small pulse - 121 kph

TBT-3C - 4 mid pulse - 2 streak - 15 doubles - 121 kph

TBT-3C - 2 mid pulse - 2 mediums - 2 streak - 131 kph

********************************************************************
TBT-3C - 1 large laser - 3 mediums - 2 streak - 131 kph

BAP added and 1 heatsink from above build - heatsink was added due to .50 tonns left which could have gone to cockpit armor or 5 less engine rating for 1 tonn extra total
TBT-3C - 1 large - 3 mediums - 2 streak - BAP - 126 kph
*******************************************************************

only the first build has bap which sadly hurts it
so you would need to drop some firepower or speed to fit in BAP

eh more mech variety doesn't hurt anyones

anyway this is the ony way i could figure out how to fit a XL 390 going 139 KPH

TBT-3C - 4 small - 2 streak - BAP - 139 kph

Non streak version but its a XL 385
TBT-3C - 4 medium lasers - 2 srm 2 - 137 kph - 11 doubles

and the no Missle version
TBT-3C - 3 medium pulse laser - 1 medium laser - 12 heatsinks - 137.2 kph - change a medium pulse laser to a medium laser for another heatsink or a XL 390 - 139 kph

TBH, the 3C is overrated and the 7K is the salvageable variant.

With that said, I guess it could catch up with some lights, but it is still easy to disable in the grand scheme of things due to oversized arms. Med lasers+Streaks are usually the way to go... but outside of that... they may be the only JJ mech for 50 tonners (in MWO), but damn they are universally the worst of the 50 tonners.

while i can't say whether the trebuchet is a good mech (don't have , do want) the griffin certainly seems along the lines of being easily disarmed but that doesn't make them not viable

then comes awkward mech scaling and srm hit reg

though the fast 3C isn't mean't to compete with other heavier mechs
just chase down those dastardly lights


sadly 7k is obsolete now with the heavier jumpjet equip-able shadow hawk
like how the firestarter made the twin ams locust/spider 5k obselete
or the awesome 8Q to the Battlemaster 1G - at least the 8Q was the only mech with 7 energy before
Etc.

The stuff in the parenthesis is for the bucket or the Griffin? The Griffin has major torso twist. That is something you cannot quite say for the 3C (only the 7K and 5N has that benefit, with the JJ capable mechs having JJ as a substitute).

In some ways, it's inferior to the old fav Cent-D.

That's the best I can do (last I tried):
TBT-3C

The 7K has a niche.. the large arms the bucket has strangely DOES make the 7K the most viable of all the buckets for that reason alone. Yes, the Shadowhawk is superior, but... it doesn't have protective arms (I mean, you could use the SH arms to protect itself, but it's very different since its torso twist isn't actually superior to the 7K).

This is the best 3C I've had. It is one of my better mechs overall, work great against lights and isn't dead vs larger mechs.

Trebuchets took a heavy nerf when SRM's dropped from 2.5 that is for sure. For me 2 streaks isn't worth it.

[DONTOR]

XL390 or bust.

You dont have to have BAP when you only have 2 streaks you must have BAP if you are a dedicated SSRM boat or have atleast 3. Primary weapons are lasers SSRM backup / whatever. Anyhow this is how I run a 3C as a light hunter. maintaining a 2.18 KDR with 130+ games.
