This is mine, and it's working wonders for me. I've never enjoyed PPCs so much, but I'm still having to deal with the PPCs so high up(used to the panther): http://mwo.smurfy-ne...echlab#modified


Your thoughts? Any other builds?

First of all, you failed to save the build, so your link is just blank for everybody :rolleyes:
Secondly: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...a8b98d69f318ecf
2 ERPPCs to fire on high range without ghost heat for max. effect and single component dmg and 3 MPLas for Melee.
Important is that you use the height of the hardpoints in the right torso, so you can shoot immediately without exposing yourself too much. 3 ERPPCs in chain fire still work, but you are getting facerolled in brawl.

I was running this today but the ac2 is a peashooter in my opinion:

Maybe might try this next time around:

Variation Lothil my ERPPC boat maximizing the quirks for 3x ERPPCs with 1x ML and 1x MPL for backup.

I'm new to Thunderbolts and not used to their squishiness after thousands of Banshee matches. The really high ERPPCs are amazing for sniping though just don't feel like they do enough damage compared to the Clan ERPPCs 50% more (run in my Hellbringer and Timbers)

As far as I know, CERPPC spread those extra 5 damage points between 2 adjacent components. If there are none, the damage is wasted. The component which is hit still takes only 10 damage.
Also, I don't understand why you would place an MPL instead of 2 ML. You have the extra free slot for that, and it's much better to group 3 ML instead of ML and MPL. On my build I also used an XL300 engine and exchanged the arm ERPPC for an LPL - much more useful at close ranges.
In fact, this is my build, and it's awesome: TDR-9S

Was weight issue since I was running the 310XL and I prefer MPLs to MLs. I'd also just started playing with the 9S, I've tweaked it a little liking STD engines for more durability and got them Elited so speed tweak helped the smaller engines.

Here's my new TDR-9S build - 270STD, 2x ERPPC, 4x MPL and it has been beddy beddy good to me...
