I'm looking for a Battlemech with:

Heavy or Assault class
Atleast 2 ballistics hardpoints (preferably 1 in each arm)
Atleast 1 energy hardpoint (preferably in torso, head or shoulder mount torso)
Atleast 2 missile hardpoints (preferably in torso or shoulder mount torso)

By shoulder mount torso I mean like the missile boxes on the Madcat or the Battlemaster, its concidered torso but visually a shoulder mount.

I know there's tons of battlemechs with this hardpoint (like the victor) but I'm might have overlooked one that fit the hardpoint locations i'm looking.

The 2 Thunderbolts and a bunch of Battlemasters fit this mostly but only the Jaegers (and Blackjacks) have symetrical ballistic arms.

You mean currently in this game? Because there's only a couple mech with Ballistics in both arms, and they don't fit the rest, unless you're willing to go with arm-mounted missiles. In that case there's the Jager-6A. Like Kanatta said, there are other options if you are willing to accept the ballistics on one side. (Though he forgot the CTF-4X and Ilya for symmetrical Ballistic arms)

No mech meets your exact requirements,

Several mechs can bring similar builds, depending on which of those requirements you want the least.
  • Jagermech 6A which houses the missiles in the arms and not the torso.
  • Thunderbolts bring a shoulder-mounted missile pod but the ones that have ballistics put them all in the left arm.
  • Victors Highlanders, & Battlemasters again only bring their ballistic weapons in one arm.
What exactly do you want to put on it? Two ballistics, LRMs, and a TAG?

This is actually a fun build, a sequel in spirit to the Krogoth from Total Annihilation which had 2 ballistics a laser and 2 back mounted missile silos, So i'm thinking 2 AC/5 a large pulse laser and 2 LRM 10 or 5s if weight is a problem, a tag as well for the lurms.

I figured the symmetry would be off but as long as the hardpoints allow it then thats fine with me, I'll have to play around with the battlemaster or thunderbolt in smurfy.

Going by your requirements I have to say that the JM6-A probably fits best. Here is a brawler setup.

Here's one with LRM's if that's more to your taste

Neither are designed to be front line fighters but in an organised group or hanging out with the main group it's a good fire support mech. Watch your torso's though.

Two AC5s, multiple LRMs, an LPL, enough heatsinks and ammo, and maybe a TAG. A bit much for a 65 tonner. Would be hard to fit the LPL in there in a JagerA, but it works ok with a pair of MLAS instead.

Maybe a Victor? http://mwo.smurfy-ne...00dcb9a0ae21e14 functional, decent DPS but relatively low on ammo. no missile-cannister-style launcher. A PPC would pair better with the dual AC5s.

I think the Atlas AS7-D-DC will do, it has the tonnage to support all of the firepower and ammo with a standard engine.
