I just got the "Seriously?" achievement in my Riflebrand - 2 AC5, 2 LL, 2 ML. I pumped out almost 700 damage and couldn't get a single kill. :-/

After mastering the Jagers I thought what the heck and bought myself my first hero mech, the FB. What can I say, I love it! Its my favourite jager so far, it can mount alot more usable loadouts than any other jager. After trying out many meta, semi-meta and far-from-meta builds I found that the most versatile and successful build was FIREBRAND XL255 2xAC5 2xERLL 2xML. Currently I'm running this build FIREBRAND STD285 2xERLL 4xML 2xMG AMS 19DHS, it's not as successful as the previous one but for me it's alot more fun thanks to the extra speed, lazorz and STD engine for suprising enemies that think that shooting side torsos=dead jager. If you think you are pro enough to dodge missiles you can dump the AMS and 1xDHS for a STD300 for even more fun

I use the same loadout. Ran it for a month or so without the ML; just couldn't rack up the damage or kills. Not enough alpha strike against heavier mechs. Added the ML and *boom*, doubled the damage and tripled the kill count.

Those extra two lasers at close range make a HUGE difference to the build.
