DAMN you almost beat my highest damage in a mech that weighs 65 tons less damn fine job! Also why not split up you CERLLs so if you lose a side you still have one. Lastly does this build still work as well after the LL nerfs? Or did you notice a big hit to its effectiveness?
The build has lost a lot of favor with me because it needs to leave the pack to kite, also taking the ecm with it. I have had much better success against lights and heavies alike using LPL+ERML rather than ERLL. With ERLLs, lights can take even more advantage of your low speed and poor short range performance. Seems like I get much more dependable performance using the Kitfox as an intermediate fire support role using a LPL, + 3 ERML and 15 or 16DHS.
It cant speed tank or armor tank so it must either firepower tank or range tank. However, this firepower must be long range or intermediate range. Short range firepower is hard to leverage in this mech.
I generally feel like adding ECM takes away too much firepower for my playstyle but I consider ECM, LPL, 2ERML a good option for the ECM must haves.
I also feel that forcing myself to play without ECM requires me to play smarter without "the cruch" for lack of a better term. Though you could argue I am hurting my team not bringing ECM, I can also bring a monster game packed within a crappy over-gunned 30 ton mech.
So long story short, I now prefer the LPL over the ERLL since the nerf. Only because one weapon is good on every map while another is good on just a few.
