What Should Be My Third Stalker (4N And 5S Already Taken)

I wish I could have a Misery but it's way way too expensive, and I thought about a 3H but it wouldn't be any more capable then my Catapault C1 but more ammo and slower by using LRMS.
I'm thinking about a 5M and loading 5 SRM6+Artim on it, but I don't know how good it is.
I'm kinda stuck trying to find a satisfying third Stalker model, any builds out there that are viable?

For the 3H, put a STD300 or 305 and 4 ERLLs on it, for the Misery you want a STD295 and Gauss Rifle and 3 LLs or 3 ERLLs.
For what it's worth, the 6LL Stalker 4N runs pretty hot until it's elited, try switching to the 6LL build once you have it elited.

So, if you can't spend on the Misery then the 3F, 3H or 5M would be the ones I'd take a second look at for a third.
A mix of Lasers and/or Missiles is what the chassis is limited to

SRM30 hits pretty dam hard.
If your a risky player, try this build.
SRM6 x 5 + Artemis
1LPL
XL300
10 Tons Ammo
18 Double Heatsinks
75 point alpha, with amazing heat management. You can Alpha 2-3 times on a hot map, 4-5 on a Cold map.
It's not a range friendly mech tho. You need to be patient.
Most say don't put a XL in stalker. I have enjoi'ed Stalkers for a long time with XL300 and XL310 in them with a very high K/DR. As always, just don't get caught alone. And twist that torso....

The 5S and 3H just come across as rehash of the 3F with some minor quirk changes.
The 3F has awesome turn out after master tier with an xl285 yaw angle is 102 degrees and twist speed is 94 degree p/s and a travel speed of 59.7kph.
The 5M has the 5th missile hardpoint and some really great quirks.
The Misery is high priced but I guess the 30% cbill bonus makes that up. I don't care for ballistics that much but if you do this would be the option, rw money allowing.
As for builds my favorite is the 5M carrying 2 lrm10 3 lrm5 1 erll and tag with the stock STD255(53.5kph) 8 double heatsinks, 10.5 tons of ammo, case. Standard Structure(need slots more than tons) and Standard Armor(full 526). 44 alpha (deceiving because of the rate of fire) Heat of 1.55, tier 5 lrm10 cooldown lrm5 cooldown and erll range. This build produces consistent 700+ damage matches and Ive had a few 1000+.
Have swapped in srm6 but lost 3 tons of ammo from my fav build but consumption was less so it evened out, real issue is heat . You can alpha a few times because the single erll is forgiving heat wise. you could drop the erll for 5 ml for a real devastating close range punch but you won't alpha much but if you do its an 89.5 close range alpha that should scare the hell out of people. heat sinks and slots are the problem with this build.
Edit remembr that 3 tons of ammo is deceiving Lrm 180 per ton srm 100 per ton. still leaves you 750 which equals to 25 alphas.

4N, 3H are my favs
5M, Misery, 3F next
5S last
The 3H is far better than you think; it has great generic energy quirks. You may think the 5S is a better 4xLPL boat since it has an LPL quirk, but really look at the details. It has the best general energy heat gen quirks (on the 3H)

I think the Misery or the 5M would be the best bets. Even with the extra twist on the 3F, you're still flying a blimp.

If you want a change up, the Misery is the only Stalker with a ballistic slot, and you're better off going big (AC20 or Gauss).
If you want an energy boat, slap a STD300-310 in the 3F, some LPLs, and go to town - real fun mech.

I have 4 Stalker mechs and to be honest I love them all but I can't help going back to my roots, the 3F. It's a great all rounder and has always repaired any road to negative K/D ratio I've racked up using other Mechs.
