Hello, new player to MWO but always closet fan to battletech.
I have my first build mech with my own modifications and build in the CN9-AH. For brawling and assist for the assaults and missile platforms, I know how to use my left arm on this mech (Idea of how, still need practice in execution) I look at the meta builds for this variant to help me along my way for my own build. Something I don't do that the "most meta" build does is plug in an XL engine as well as strip the left arm of a lot of armor, are these good ideas and if so, why?
