BLR-1D has a whole lot of ammo and does not run too hot at all. It moves pretty fast, and is a super strong extreme-range fighter. Just be sure to shoot early and shoot often, as that weapon arm will go boom right quick if you get shot up. I recommend Advanced Zoom and dakka everything that moves.

BLR-1D
Consider defending if your ultra jams and you're taking a lot of fire. Go easy on the lasers while dakkaing.
As for the XL engine. I find most people prioritize the left torso and then the right. If you have a very large XL you may be able to twist well enough but I would feel uncomfortable with an XL outside of very specialized builds.

As far as AC2 loadouts go a BLR 1D can sustan fire from 3 AC2s longer than nay other mech, I had 1 with 24DHS, 2 MLs, 10 tons ammo, 325XL, and it could fire 3 AC2s for 2 minutes straight or 2 AC2s forever with no heat generation.

Maybe I will give the dakka dakka a try, I like high dps, direct fire support over pretty much everything else. Just the other mechs I have with ac2's tend to get hot quickly, but they only run like twelve to fourteen DHS.
Could leave the other arm empty, and use it as a shield while torso twisting, like I do in my 3D. that should help with losing the ballistic arm.

A standard engine does significantly improve the durability of this mech but I found it difficult getting a good balance of speed and weapons load out using a standard. I did roll with 6 Medium lasers and 2 AC5s for a while and that was probably my favorite standard engine build (STD325) for the BLR-1G. On the other hand when I changed to an XL350 I was able to up my heat efficiency, speed/maneuverability and trade 2 of the mediums for large lasers. So far in my experience this is a much better build that allows to play the range game a bit but also punish opponents when I get in close.
The XL just requires a bit more defensive skills and on occasion a more cautious attitude but its a trade-off thats been worth it.

Guess its just down to playstyle. I dont mind my standard 275 battlemaster at all, i just walk around the map like "who else want some!!!??" Probably a throwback from too many games in Atlases. xD I have noticed its really easy to kill Battlemasters now tho, now that i know people actually run these with xl engines.

Standard 275... holy slow! It totally does come down to playstyle. I'm probably just too used to running around at 80-100 kph with my mediums that when I get into a big clunky mech its just not comfortable. If it works for you by all means carry on and try to take advantage of my XL engine.
you'll probably win...
