Do you run 5 ER LLAS with no ballistic?

This is what I've been using.



I think it comes out to 23 DHS, 16 in the engine.

Rather than alleviate heat by using ballistics, I went for max heat sink laser boating. :/

You seem to be doing well with it, but I think personally I'd just plop all of that in a STK-3F with a STD 300 to snipe over hills.


But if it's working for you, go for it.

Interesting. I admittedly have been bored with my Boars Head so I am running 6x LL on it right now but with a STD350. It does really well as long as you are cautious about where and when you push. Have to manage heat a bit but it is reasonable as long as you are not trying to Alpha them all.

I thought about putting the XL back in for fun but I have a hard time bringing myself to XL an Atlas.

When I get tired of this I probably will go back to an ac20/ srm6. mls or ll combination setup.

I ended up settling on a standard 300 engine with 6ML, AC/20 and an ALRM20 with 4t ammo for each weapon. Its slow as hell but it kicks serious ass when it gets close in and I can drop LRM's while I'm closing in on my targets. Makes up for only going 53 KPH.

I run 4 ERL 2 med pulse xl 400. It is a decent load out works better in pairs.

My "best" BH build is my old RS build...

Boar's Head is all about the c-bill boost anyways, right?

[Magos Titanicus]

I run that build at the Moment http://mwo.smurfy-ne...9a59f71cafe66e8

If you cannot handle the chainfire for Ghost-Heat-Avoidence, forget about it, but if you manage to handle this, it is a fairly powerful build even more with one or two Cool-Shot- Consumables. On cold maps you can Alpha-Strike. Sure you'll be generating a massive amount of ghost-heat but if you pump in a cool-shot and strike a second time you will be likely melting anything to death if you aim properly. I run that build with the Large Laser Range Extension Module which increases the range effectively to 980 meters.

I run this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...574c3c23e573ce1

It's a good balance between range, speed and punch. LBXs are fantastic at stripping armour - that's what they're for. ACs are pinpoint killers, but general armour stripping is the LBXs job.... and the LLs to finish the job.

Weapon groups are:
Group 1- Left LLs
Group 2 - Right LLs
Group 3 - LBX.

AC20, 4 ML, 2 LL, 4 tons Ammo, 325STD, AMS, no Endo or Ferro

Interesting build Banky... might have to try that sometime.

Magos, I did the same 6 LL build but with a STD350 (little hotter than the 340 build you did). Lots of fun and manage the heat decent with firing in pairs and chain fire did alright.

Right now I went to something a little different. 2x LPL, 1x ac20, 1x srm6, ams, std350, dhs, endo, etc. Little ammo limited but I use the pulse until I get into srm range then ac20 and srm6 paired wrecking ball. Heat is not to bad.

[Cold Cash]

ac20, 2ppc, srm6. cant rems the engine.

[CaptainFuture]

hi guys!

i have been pretty successful with this build:

BOAR'S HEAD

ist good balanced, and you can contribute to the battle at any range.
doing 500-700dmg per round.

bye,

This is what I run, personally:

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...cdeb365cb6f4503

I generally don't use my ERLL on targets that are sub 300m, and stick to my medium lasers and such as they close in. It's a fun build I've enjoyed quite a bit, especially for brawling. I might switch the AC10 out for a LBX10 at some point, since mediums tend to not hang around assaults to assist with lights, but instead jump snipe and do other stupid things.

[DarthPeanut]

Back to tinkering with my BH. Was running without SRM and just AC20 with lasers for a while but decided to put them back on. 2x LL, 2x ML, ac20, ASRM6. Chain firing the lasers on hot maps it is very manageable. AC20/ ASRM6 paired together for up close face smash hit in a brawl. Smurfys below.

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...85cd1651520b051

I wish they BH had a 2 missle hardpoint torso so I could run another ASRM6.

Debated putting an ALRM rack in it to do something while walking to the fight but I have not. LRMs are a bit sketchy right now and the weight seems better served for other things.

I need to get 2 more Atlas so I can work on mastering them.
