Might as well place my customs here. Maybe someone will find them helpful. I suspect that the OP has already got what he needed from this thread though. Armor is not exact. Alter the armor to your preference.

Enforcer 4R:
XL 250
2 LLs
AC10 w/2 tons ammo
3 JJs

Enforcer 5P:
XL 250
2 UAC5 w/5 tons ammo
Med Laser
2 JJ

Enforcer 5D:
XL 325
AC5 w/2 tons ammo
ERPPC
5 JJs (lots of fun and very useful)

Will this mech ever be available with Cbills?

Ok . My tuppence worth . I love these mechs. I've been running the 5D with the 3 mpl and lbx 10 build that a few guys have posted about. It works a treat as long as you hold off a bit from getting in the mix. Then the mpls shred the remaining armour on damaged mech and the lbx shreds components. If you wade in too early you get mauled pretty quickly.

With the 5p I personally don't think you have the tonnage to carry enough ammo to run 2 uac5 so I run with 1uac5, 1uac5 and one lpl and this seems to work really well. I use this build as a mid range harasser. Doesn't brawl as well due to the weapons.

The 4R works really well with the stock ac10 and 5 mls. Run the mls on chain fire and its a bit like having a laser gattling gun.

Provided you don't commit too early To the brawling these guys tank damage really well and xls are definitely workable.

Sorry edit On my last post. It's an ac2 uac5 and lpl on the 5p

You may think the 5P can't handle the weight of dual UAC5s, but my build seems to use them well. I do on the rare occation run out of ammo, but that's a rare event and always towards the very tail end of the game. There is also a reason I have a med laser on board... (And no. I'm not saying anything bad nor good about your build. If it works for you, by all means, use it!)

I got these as an upgrade to my Panther pack, mainly because people were raving about them in game when they first released. Long story short, I find it to be a wholly underwhelming chassis, like so many of pgi's recent offerings. In fact, I rarely see one in game anymore. I recommend people avoid this chassis.

Can't remember exact engine and such, but my enforcers are one of my favorite mechs, hands down.

ENF-4R (packs a punch)
-1x Gauss
-5x ML
-No JJs

ENF-5P (Maximum dakka) [ UAC jam chance quirks ftw!]
-2x UAC5
-As much ammo as you can fit (I think I run around 140 rounds or something)
-JJs

ENF-5D (maximum jump snipe)
-2x PPC (torso)
-1x LPL (arm)
-JJs

Right now, I'm too busy leveling up my Grasshoppers and Zeus to be using my Enforcer. I find it to be a worthy ride, depending upon how you have them set up of course and how you use them.

I have a feeling a lot of the Enforcer Pilots are probably doing the same thing as I am. It's not that it's a bad chassis, just that we are doing something else right now. (Also, Heavy mechs are typically more preferred over Medium mechs.)

I've returned to my enforcers recently and have been running this on the ENF-5D: AC-5, 2xLL, 4xJJ, XL300.

I can't decide how this workds I got the 5D but I'm not sure if it's a brawler or a sniper, I dunno how to play it.

that's the problem with mixed E/B loadout mechs in MWO. the two weapon types are just so inconsistent with each other. this is especially noticeable if the mech in question's balistic hardpoints are in the arm(s), as it can't mount an AC/20 in any way, which limits its usefulness as a stright up brawler.

I run my 5D with two AC/5 and three ML's, and usually hang out on the fringes of the main brawl, providing support fire.

Are two AC/5 better than the LB 10-X AC it comes with?

Edit: Tried this build, I do more damage but I run out of AC ammo to quickly only got two tons of it, should I drop a medium laser for another ton?

Is it just me but if you add the endo steel frame you can't equip a lot of things because of lack of spots?

the full specs of my build are (off the top of my head, might need to adjust the number of JJs): XL255, Endo-steel structure, standard armour 336/338, DHS, 2 AC/5 w/4t, 3 ML, 4 JJs.

note I reverted the stock FF armour to standard, but upgraded the structure to endo. for 90% of available mechs, this frees up more tonnage than the opposite.

That's was the problem then, I still had the FF armour on.

I find my 5D makes for a good hit and fade mech, or long range jump sniper. It's light on weapons, but I survive a while with it and just distract and whittle away my opponents over time. Max JJs also permit me to get to places most people don't expect me to be able to get to, like the top of the citadel in River City. This can let me drop down on people beneath me for a couple of swings and then jump back up. Or snipe even from that position.

Of course, this is just one way to play the mech, as other people have already mentioned.
