hmmm i think my 2 lrm5 locust is still in the running or the 6 flamer boars head i once saw.

sooo what is up with the as7s lrm boats? people afraid to get the paint scratched?

For kicks I wanted to see if I could recreate the Vulture LRM/90 from MW4, and MDD-PRIME LRM/90 is as close as I got.

With only 1080 missiles and no other weapons, I wanted to see if I could get 3 kills with it. It is actually not always just point and click even with the insane amount of missiles. I had to put effort in to try and position myself since in 1 on 1 I was dead meat. It was rare that I ended up with anyone dead-to-rights, I had to actually try to stalk mechs, often holding lock on them while I waited for them to get further into the open before firing on them. People were very good about taking cover and there was plenty of ECM all around in the games I was getting.

I did 1 shot a Locust at one point, and on another map I caught a BJ-1X in the open. Full 90 missile alpha's brought those mechs down instantly from full to dead. The angle of missiles coming in and the direction both of those mechs were traveling in made a big impact on how many missiles actually hit them. The locust seemed to pause for a second and was stationary right when the missiles came down, and the BJ-1X was also somewhat stationary. Locust lost both legs while the 1X died to side torso loss.

When I built the LRM/60 version of this mech with 1800 missiles and 6x LRM/10's the kills/missile ratio went up, but it didn't have that same feeling of "Congratulations! Here's 90 missiles just for you!".

i seen this too and first thought i was seeing things. 3 alphas from the cn9ah cracks the shells long before the MGs scratch my paint, unless they have friends like hunchbacks and stormcrows...

I don't consider myself good at building in the general sense though I can at least cobble together builds that work for me.

My favorite build that's rarely successful but I absolutely love is Ilya with 3 LB 10-X. When it works its insanely fun. Every other time I just love the glorious sound of 3 LB 10-X fired at once. Just to add to the silliness its running an XL and only 75 shots that go very fast.

the raven makes a fine urbie what are you talking about

[FalconerGray]

Not sure if it belongs here or not but I recently spectated a Gargoyle with two LRM 20's and a pair of Machine Guns. Not knowing much about Gargoyles, I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt until he was trying to work the MG"s at 350m+ then rushing in close to spam the Lurms....

If anything it was entertaining to watch!

As Lego said, you give folks the benefit of the doubt. So, when I got smashed on Terra Therma a few days ago I spectated in a Centurion -AH. Weapons loadout... 2 LRM 15'S and an LRM 10...that's all. And I thought considering the terrain, might work! No.

If it wasn't TT it might have actually. However, that's still a waste of a CN-9AH. It's not even a joke build. Joke builds take something ludicrous that COULD possibly be done with the mech, and then do it despite it's suicidal appearance. Such as the 2xAC20 Cicada. THAT is a true joke build (with hilarious potential if escorted by ECM into the enemy's rear line.), or the Noisy Cricket variants.
