Just saw a Boar's Head with an AC10, 2x ER Large Laser and a SRM6.

And he died to an XL side torso loss.

17.5-20+ tons of ammo? o.O

Think he was using a 400XL; I guess he looked something like this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b4433242d04590a

Or he might have been using single-heat sinks, as the Boar's Head comes with those stock, maybe something like this: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...1ab54665ba4c9d3

Either way, he died hilariously easy; I downed him 1 vs 1 with my YLW. I cored one of his side torsos intending to take out half his weapons, and was amazed to see him die from XL engine destruction.


Other hilarious builds I saw yesterday:
Centurion -AH with a single LRM15 (and nothing else!)
Dire Wolf with triple UAC20
Dire Wolf with quad Gauss
...both of those Dires died without doing much damage.

so i thought too, but smurfy proposed me endo-steel by default, so i thought of something like this...

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...52cda97fb0e02b2

i didn't try to place the ammo till now, no free slots for 17.5 tons so 13.5 tons of ammo and 4 heat sinks

its not a bad build presay the jager will do it beater in every way the big thing is that the boom consept relays on you oponent not reilizing the thret and leting you get close

Relying on my opponent's actions to have my build work is not the sign of a good build IMO.

fair its all play style after all

[oldradagast]

Recent winners included:

1) A spider with 1 medium laser. I guess he needed a bigger engine or more jump jets
2) A Thunderbolt with FIVE ER large lasers. Was even better because he spent most of the match shooting the ground to watch the pretty colors. Only eventually decided to shoot the enemies - and then exploded from ghost head and override.

Previous stand-out winners:
1) An Awesome 8T with nothing but 2 LRM 20's. Because nothing says "great mech" like ignoring FIVE energy hardpoints AND launching your missiles in 15 + 5 clusters!
2) A Jagermech with one AC 5, and that's it.
3) Countless Atlas with insane builds. A book could be written on them. LRM's everywhere, machine guns as the only ballistics, etc.
4) King Crabs with no ballistics that hide in the back firing LRM's.
5) "Variety pack" Atlas: He had at least 6 different weapon types and a tiny engine. Remained near the spawn on Alpine, waiting for the enemy to come to him. Forgot to use half his weapons... and then died.
6) Meta-fail Banshee: AC 5 + PPC = good, right? So, a Banshee with 2 AC5's and 3 PPC's has to be good! Especially when you fire all the PPC's at once to get that ghost heat!

Ugh...

The Crab can be a scary LRM 60 boat. 4xLRM15s, with 4 MLs + big XL is a solid build for an LRM boat crab.

Well, I know what my next project is (I currently have that crab with an SRM+2xAC20s set up).

Except, I personally know two players who run streaks,x3 mgs and a large laser. Both regularly push 900+ a round with that build. It may not suit you-but it does work!

when there is weapon synergy then you have everything you need

[bad arcade kitty]

imo the problem with 4*s-srm-6 + 3 torso mgs (+ 11 tons for cap, ammo and additional weapon with maxed (except 7/18 head) armor) timber it's that jump jets and fixed leg structure take the place where you would like to put ammo... so you have to have your ammo and cap in hands...

dat flamer range, tho...

Isn't there a scene kinda like that in Ghostbusters?

[Mazzyplz]

caught another terribad build; actually a few - but i'll have to check my video library to dig out the best of the worst;

for now - a jagermech with only 1 ac5 and 1 ac2. that's it.
