Hey all

What I'm after is a Ballistics dominant mech that can do at least 80-90kph and can mount at least 3xAC5 (4 maybe?)

I had a Jager that had those specs but it was soooo slowwwwww

Any suggestions?

Ilya Muromets? JM6-S? Maybe the same load-out on the JM6-DD?

Pretty much the only things capable of fitting the bill, and even then only with speed tweak. Anything heavier won't meet the speed requirement, anything lighter won't have enough tonnage for armor or ammo.

The only other Mech besides Jagermechs are two variants of the Cataphract. Because you need 3+ ballistic hardpoints which also offer the space for AC5s, that greatly filters the list of available Mechs...

The only Cataphract that can meet the speed requirements he laid out and carry 3 AC5s is the Ilya. If he's willing to settle for 2 AC5s he could go for the 1X or 3D, or he could accept a drastic speed reduction and go for the 4X.

Ah, yes, the Non-Existent Mech! Very powerful! Win by not playing!
