Load up highest alpha you can and hope for a match where you get to hit every target with some damage and then KS.

This worked surprisingly well, it's what I was using when I stopped at 2048.

NVA-S

Started with this one, though I think I had less armour and an extra DHS:

NVA-S


The NopeVa did better than I expected.

I was pretty high on the Twolf list, didn't play enough to keep it, but these were my builds:

My best load out on the c1 is smarter players with more experience playing the game. Not much you can do when half your team bum rushes into a fortified enemy position and then wonder how the match ened under seven minutes.

[Macksheen]

Mad Dog, Streak or SRM 36 depending on the mood. Streak w/ TAG, SRM w/ 2 CERML. Lots of ammo. Radar derp, advanced target decay (or seismic on normal SRMs) and the range / cooldown for the SRMs.

Inspiring! have always loved the blackhawk but cant find something that works for it well. Will try your setups. Thanks for sharing!

I'll post mine later... I'm too tired to care.

Wouldn't it have made sense to go 235, and squeeze that extra tonnage for max head (and other) armor? Just saying...

Since I'm going to be top 10 probably at least until tomorrow at noon, here's my build.

I ran a kitfox this time around, but didn't have much time to play. Putting up siding on my house ate most of Friday and all of Saturday.



I probably should have stuck with Shadowhawks. I topped out at 2191 in it last tourney.

Smurfy Link
KFX-PRIME
1xUAC5 with 3 tons ammo in side torsos
3xERML
ECM
"C" arm, "S" right torso.

It's a really common build. In fact, all the other KFX players I saw usually used it. For long games, I usually prefer 2xERML and 1xLPL, but that removes the shake I can give enemies with my UAC5. The LPL helps for longer range engagements however. I also pack it with heatsinks in that 2nd build, and have a single Clan Targeting Computer MK1. Range modules for my weapons are a must. I also run Radar Deprevation, Artillery Strike and Seismic Sensor.

The kitfox has a real problem with kill stealers. You can 1 on 1 other mechs well, but kill stealers will often take your kills because you don't have front loaded weapons. I've tried a LBX5 instead of UAC5, but it cuts down on the firepower delivered and seems to do less damage overall due to the inaccurate spread. It's the reality of playing a low damage mech like the kitfox, but I still love the little guy.

Hey, thats almost my build. Apparently yours is 72 points better

KFX-PRIME

Due to the time difference, couldn't be playing to catch up with Kh0rn, and kinda couldn't be bothered to grind out the perfect match anymore.

Dropped against and with him a couple of games last night to know his loadout/build, but not sure how comfortable posting it without him giving the go ahead.

[Deathlike]

IIRC Kh0rn's build had flamers. I don't even want to know why.

Builds I used...

Quickdraw:
QKD-5K

Wolverine:
WVR-6K

So unoriginal... yet, this is what I've described before in terms of mech building and usage before. Heat, speed, DPS...

If you were expecting better, you probably were going to be disappointed.

Probably. Think I got headshot like 5 or 6 times this weekend. Side torsoed a lot. The XL 235 might have cut down on that. Not really sure how much of a difference it would make though. Commando has so little armor that getting one shot happens. Getting caught in an arty strike means you're out of the game half the time. In an ideal game, you pretty much go untouched and armor doesn't matter.

I probably still wouldn't buy the XL 235. I almost never play Commando and when I do, I play the Death's Knell with 4 medium lasers. It doesn't have an armor problem and XL 240 works fine in it. I'm not poor, but I can't exactly afford 3 timberwolves yet. So I'm gonna be thrifty til then.

Honestly, it still did horrible in comparison to the others, I didn't expectad much from it, but at least more than the second worst chassis :/

It's the best MG boat, at any rate. Not optimal, but hey, 5 MGs.

Aside from the Ember. And until the Viper comes along. That's pretty much what my build is, with 10 extra DHS and 1 extra MG.

[DONTOR]

I finshed in top 10 for Comando's which is all I really wanted. Having played with alot of the other top 10 pilots there was a wide variety of builds.
1SRM6 + 2 MLs
4MLs
2MLs + 1 ERLL
2MLs + SRM2+SRM4
ECM + 3 missle,

but honestly the Commando 2D with ECM was the least used I would say. Most Commando pilots find the extra 22 KPH to be more worth while than ECM.

Brace yourself.

I got first and this is the hunchback build I used.

I uploaded a video last week of me playing it if want to see it in action.
