I havent seen anyone bring this mech up yet as it was put in the rewards stuff. Prolly to hyper about King Crab i guess.

Anyway, Sarna says trhe S upgrades to DHS, drops 5 tons of them and then adds a pair of streak 2's.

As the standard Atlas is really the D in this game, where do we suppose the 2 new missile hardpoints will end up? My gut says CT, alongside the 2 laser points, which will render them mostly useless. However, what if they are in the LT or RT? 4 missile hardpoints(limited by tube count though) could be interesting. How will you build it?

Yeah I am hoping they go into the torso though if they do, it will probably be the right torso where the AC/20 usually goes which also would render them useless (not many will give up their AC/20 for a couple missile launchers hehe).

It however would be awesome if they ended up in the left Torso. 4 ML, AC/20 and 4 SRM6s would make it a beastly brawler that might actually be able to stand toe-to-toe with a Dire.

Well, they're in the Left Torso with the other 2 Missile hardpoints, according to MegaMek. The only thing is that in Lore (blegh) the two SSRMs were rear-facing. I'm sure they'll still be in the Left Torso, but front-facing in MWO. Anything else would probably "break the stock loadout."

I'll probably try something along the lines of 4xSRM4, 4xML, AC5?

The Atlas S has 4 missiles in the LT. An LRM, an SRM, and a pair of Streak2s. Plus an AC20 and 4 MLAS(two CT, one per arm)

well the standard atlas lists AC20 as stock, and no change to that for S. So now that you mention that, they really cant put it in the RT I suppose. So, LT or CT unless they do something wacky and put them in the arms.

I hadnt looked in MegaMek. I knew they would be front facing. i was also thinking quad SRM4, but part of me would like to try quad streaks with a BAP, maybe a pair of ERLL in arms instead or something. Still hard to pass up quad SRM+AC20 though. DAT FACEWRECKZ.

If we want to follow the actual AS7-S, this is the best hard point layout
CT: 2E
LT: 4M
RT: 2B
RA: 1E
LA: 1E

For a little more balance

CT: 2E
LT: 2M
RT: 1B / 2M
RA: 1E
LA: 1E

Left torso. They will simply be moved to the front.
