Don't knock it till you try it. AGAIN: These are not "meta" comp Crutch Wolves. They are, however, energy efficient, moderate DPS, ballanced, mixed range loadouts that work well. You can have fun in these builds and still kill lot's a things. Haven't tried them in CW (actually the one with the UAC5 has proven very effective on most CW maps.)

Enjoy!

I like the TBR -C build you have there, but wont use C UACs till they are improved. SRMs are my TBRs best friend.

Interesting builds, at lot better than some of the previous ones you posted (like these having more appropriate back armor) and are similar to what I run when I run a TBR.

The first TBR with the UAC2 and the MGs I'd personally trade that UAC2 in for another arm with couple more lasers on it and maybe heatsinks.

What is it with you and your terribly crappy builds?
Like an Atlas with an XL400 just because you have 8 of them lying around.

On the TBRs:
- Way too many weapon systems mixed together
- AC2 are crap
- LBX 10 are crap
- PPCs are ... not so good, especially not a single one somewhere in a ST mixed with a dozend other weapons
- MGs, lol
- Tons of free slots. How can you have so many free slots on a TBR? Hardly any heatsinks
- And, again, as one other guy said in the atlas thread: way too much back armor
- AGAIN: no smurfy links, just cumbersome screenshots. Are you annoying people on purpose?

Let me ask you a serious question: Do you even play these terrible builds?
Do you even play MWO?

And btw, weren't you that ridiculous ""White Knight"" who had fallen because he could hardly win any matches?
Please stay fallen and don't polute the forums with your bad builds and childishly checkered ugly camos.

For your TBR-S, I'd swap the cERLL with another cERML and swap the cUAC/5 with a cUAC/10 or cLB-10X. But that's just me!

Uac2s and MGs are tonnage waste just saying. Could also use an UAC10 over the LB-10 imo

I like the middle one. I think I can be made with a pure prime chassis (or a build close to it), so I might try that.

Surely people can think for themselves. Did you feel being intellectually assaulted by reading his threads and thus the need to write such post? :huh:

Those builds are... poorly optimized.
Here's my critique of the LRM build:
You have no ECM counter at all and your weapons loadout just screams frankenbuild. You're better off swapping the large pulse for a TAG and adding an S sidetorso for an extra launcher, add Artemis and/or more ammo to fill out the tonnage. Don't bother with the machine guns, throw in an active probe and some more LRM ammo instead. The UAC/2 is actually a very good combo with LRMs due to it's screen shake making it easier to get TAG locks safely and the ER mediums are useful enough if you don't overuse them and shut down your mech, just don't fire the UAC/2 in ultra mode because you don't want that thing to jam, ever.

Ohhh...

*critical hit...critical hit...critical hit...*

On to the builds...more than 3 weapons? no go for me

as said earlier, Lb10s are crap

Cuac2's are crap.

I personally only use lrm5's or 15's. 10s just all get shot down, not enough throw weight. 20s are too big usually for the extra 5 missiles.

Machine guns are for carrion feeder fast mediums or light mechs, no real place on a heavy.

I run UAC20 + 2xERML + 2xSRM6 TBR-PRIME

It's what I used before the nerf and what I run after (albeit changing the LT Prime pod to a C). I was already ahead of the curve you see ;)

I had a UAC10 on there at one point. I found the LB10 to be more effective at mid to close range combat. It's a crit machine and destroys open componants very quickly.

Too many weapon groups. And no heatsinks, so these must run kinda hot.

That's... too painful to be fun.

Most pilots have two left hands. They dont bother more then two weapon groups. You can't call them a mechwarrior anyway despite the 1, 2 and the 3 key is close to WSAD keys.

Check the videos out. Their heat isn't that bad. Then again, my play style is different. I don't charge into the enemy firing line with the alpha button on a macro.
