The ones you enjoy playing with the most...........

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

4 QKD-5K s with 2 LL 4 ML

thunderbold 9SS with 7MPL
Thunderbolt 9S with 3xERPPC

hell bring 3 of the latter, a firestarter and call it a day

I'm considering taking 4 Dragons for the fun of it

Right now I have Atlas, Raven, Centurion, Wolverine. But I'm pretty terrible in the Atlas, and fairly good in the others. Just can't find anything to fill that heavier niche to really be comfortable with, so I'll raise my general bar higher and see if I can average out. Otherwise play with what you enjoy and run with it.

Wait. We're recommending TBT's now? Wow!

j/k I've actually been meaning to look at them post quirks.

Interesting list though. Too bad the only thing on it that I actually own (on the primary lists, I own some of the alternate suggestions) are the Locusts.

I need more mechs.

My favourite so far has been 3 Dragons and a Quickdraw

[Mirumoto Izanami]

I open with a Thunderbolt 9s, follow with a fast moving Kintaro 19, and then round out with two Dragon 1Ns.

[GentlemanBryan]

Kintaro's are nice mechs for CW

They're still terribad, you can't fix a terrible mech with bad hitboxes with quirks. wub builds will blow the erppc build away.

[KraftySOT]

Wubshee, two splathawks, and a Raven 3L

[Rebas Kradd]

4 Firestarters.

Seriously, you'll love it. The FPS of your opponents will freeze up with all those lights on screen, and hitreg problems on lights will make you nigh invincible. Toss in a couple of ECM lights and call it a day.

I have to agree, putting ERPPCs on a Trebuchet 7M (with 40% LRM15 cooldown) would make it a terrible mech, and possibly allow it to snuggled by a wubbie.

On the off chance you are comparing a TDR-5SS (md pulse laser) to a TDR-9S (erPPC), I prefer the 9S over the 5SS due to the range versitility, but why choose, when you can have both.

TBolt MPL
TBolt ERPPC
Treb LRM
Dragon AC/5

Sorry. The minimum tonnage was raised to 160. You are at 140

The best overall 65 ton mech in the game, the Thunderbolt can perform at most ranges you’ll be in for CW....

Wow, I remember when the TDR was considered DOA....

I don't like the 9s or the triple erppc build it's terrible. Any lplas wub build is better, my wvr-6k is better in every way. The tbolts are still barn doors with no mobility and bad torso twist. They suck balls.
