HAHA! My Raven 4X (Boom Chicken) is running a Medium Laser and an AC10 with jump jets. I was running an AC20 with no JJ. Its pretty funny.

I faced this BEAST in CW. The heat efficiency in it has to be quite something!

[Wizard 0 0]

Awhile back my son built a raven with lrm 20 when there was only 1 tube for a narc beacon.
Was hilarious watching the missles come out 1 at a time.

[loopala]

been a bit since i have seen a really good one.

i give you the slowest CN9



notice the highlighted speed of 48.6 yes that is the maximum speed. also notice the awesome fire power of 3 AC2s, so much in fact this build needed 2 coolshot mods.

Oh man, that's just hilarious. That's the Loyalty AH isn't it? That comes with a Standard 200 but I'm guessing he downgraded to a 150 or something? Assuming no upgrades and upping the armor to full and using only 10 heatsinks (single), that would be 6 tons of ammo.

You know, with singles and 3 AC2's I can almost see the use of Cool Shots.......................................almost

Saw two of the three assault mechs on my team were LRM boats today; first was an Awesome -8R with 4x LRM15 and 2 medium laser, the other was an Atlas -D-DC with 3x LRM15 and 2 medium pulse laser.

The Awesome ran out of ammo early, and neither scored more than 250 damage.

Naturally, the team lost, largely due to two of our assaults being dead-weight.

[SnagaDance]

I've got an Awesome 8R 4 Lrm15 missile boat and it's one of my best performing mechs. Often multiple kills, good amount of component destruction, high damage etc.

Of course you need to know how to play it, stay in close to medium range while moving with the team and preferably getting your own locks (and otherwise only firing on those locks you know are going to last, by checking the target's position on the mini-map). The mech can truly be a beast. Ties with the Battlemaster 1S for best Lrm-boat in the game IMO.

An Atlas Lrm-boat is a waste though. They're just not good at it. Number of launchers, the way they're positioned, the quirks, the fact that the mech is not XL friendly at all. Friends don't let friends play Lrm-Atlasses.

This guy's Awesome 8R was built badly though; I think he only had less than 2 tons of ammo per LRM15, which resulted in him running out of ammo in the first few minutes of the battle.

Spotted another one:


I'm guessing he was running a standard 360 engine, 'cause I can't see what else he could have wasted all that tonnage on.

Probably something like this setup: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...a7afd92ce93c991

[Alienized]

seen a jaegermech in group queue today.
it had 1 ac20 + 1 lrm20 + artemis. and camped in the backside.

[CyborgDragon]

Fear the machine gun Crab!

[Zergling]

Saw an enemy player in a Hunchback -4J... with 2x ER PPC and a single LRM10 with Artemis IV. And an XL engine.

Took him down very easily by taking out a side torso at short range; he was overheating so badly he could barely get a shot off at me.

I'm guessing his setup was something like this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...1a40fa8db197734

[DI3T3R]

Saw a Kingcrab with 2x ER-LL and LRMs yesterday. He was overheating so badly and barely hit a thing. And of course the player kept this armoured monster out of harms way...

Is that even possible anymore? Because if it is...

[Alaskan Nobody]

Just saw another 4xLRM15 Atlas.

Backup weapons?

TAG

Engine?
He was movin pretty quick....

[Chiasson Brinker]

To be fair, I run my AS7-S with twin LRM10, twin LRM5 and 4 medium pulse lasers. 360 Std engine and AMS. I also have my JR7-D(s) with a tiny Std engine, 4 medium lasers and an LRM 10. It has a max speed of about 85ish KPH with 360 rounds of LRM ammo.

Both are goofy joke builds, and both are fun as hell.
