You Want Your Banshee? Here's Your Meta Build:
#1
Posted 09 March 2014 - 09:46 PM
70 shots to an autocannon, mounts more dakka than any other assault 'Mech.
4 medium lasers, max armor, 47% cooling efficiency (54% with efficiencies).
And 55/62kph without/with tweak.
Oh, and all weapons are torso mounted for maximum arm shielding (You lose ammo if your arm gets hit, but if you haven't run out of AC5 ammo there you're doing it wrong.
Could move the ammo to the torso with the lasers so that if you lose arms you don't lose any ammo if you want. I'm just lazy.
Oh, and high-mounted weapons.
HAVE FUN.

However this is a bit more meta http://mwo.smurfy-ne...5ae17db13097111
Your build, despite your name, is sadly lacking in dakka. I would use something like this.. move ammo, armor around and reduce engine size to taste.

I have found the JJ a little less prominent myself lately....... people seem to be finding the slower thrust on their prized poptarts and lack of ballerina spin moves an impediment to their "skills".
Pity that.

I ran a 3x AC5 shawk for SH!#$ N giggles with 6 tons of ammo and ran out in the first 3.5 minutes ended with 700ish damage. But if its your primary weapon you wil need far more ammo to last a game. I would say 10 minimum. The damage output of 3 AC5s is pretty crazy though.

2 tons per AC/5 is more or less standard.

This was the only model that even raised an eyebrow, still not getting any of these, because of all the torso mounted weapons, and no arm weapons...will be a simple feat to strip nearly all your useful weapons in this.

270 in one of my muromets is about 1k damage...and i HAVE run out before....i think about 100 rounds per gun is about the only time you can say you have "enough"

Not the most optimal build. At 61kph you are way too slow and you will be overwhelmed too easily. Not enough AC5 ammo as well, need at least another ton, so drop a medium.

10 tons is overkill. Either you miss alot or you are lazy and don't aim.

The meta is slow in this one.. you mean. 56KPH is unbearably slow.

Not sure if trolling but...
Apparently no one has cared about this thread for a month. If not trolling: You consider 61 way too slow in a 95 ton mech? Please don't tell me you use XL engines in your Banshees (or in any heavier mech). Also please don't tell me you use a standard engine larger than a 350. Finally, if you do use a 350 rather than a 325 please tell me you have some compelling reason to give up 6 tons for 5 KPH.
Additionally, Banshees shouldn't be overwhelmed easily as they should be running with the other assault mechs, preferably alongside the rest of the team. If you are overwhelmed it is because you are alone and either outnumbered significantly or aren't proficient in mech movement. If you are alone for any reason other than (1): you simply happened to be the last person in the pack to be targeted (the rest of the team is scrap), or (2) because you needed to split up to stop the last couple of enemy light mechs from outcapping you on conquest, you are wrong.
I also noticed you didn't bother to post a build of your own, which is what lead me to think you simply failed at trolling. End communication.
