If laser hitreg actually worked, he wouldn't need streaks

Just experiment around with ballistics and SRMs. You'll find the TBR isn't in fact nerfed to the ground.

I would like to emphasize the word EXPERIMENT....

Though I'm disgusted by the TBR nerfs, I always thought the greatest thing about playing Mechwarrior was customizing your mechs, finding and tweeking your own builds to what you need, and to fit your playstyle.

Stop asking for builds. A new meta. Find your own and play the game.

Agreed. My fun thing that I like to do is looking at loadouts on the battlefield as I fight them. When I see a build I like or seems interesting I screenshot it and try to make it work on my mech. Usually if they kill me really well I'll try it out, but if they have obvious flaws that I was able to abuse I wouldn't concider it.

I dunno. I find shopping around more fun than asking around. And then the added bonus to trying to make it work on your mech is fun as well.

I've taken to running GR, 2 ERML, LRM-10, S-SRM-4, can an Active Probe. Heat management is pretty decent and it gives me coverage at all ranges. Of course, I never did the meta builds anyway.

[SaltBeef]

I agree with the premise and am wasting millions of CBills myself trying to find a decent build. Cause the Lord Almighty knows my 2 Lrm 15, 2 ERLL, 2 Med Lasers was a just too powerful for Surats to handle.

I've had great success with this build:

TBR-C
4xC-ERML
2xC-LB5-X AC

Cooldown module for the LB5-X is a must. Honestly, I've gotten better damage out of this than using the AC 5 or UAC 5 just due to the fact that the LB5-X does the 5 damage in a single burst.

Everyone shrugs off the LBX as a serious weapon, but two LB5-X gives you an LB10-X with tiny grouping and a faster fire rate. Lights hate me.

Clan Auto cannon are Crapola in a Tortilla and I bet the do not register half their damage.

When you fire C-UACs you better have something else firing that same target too , nothing to do with hitreg.

[SaltBeef]

Sure!

This is the one I am using.

I use my TBR-C with 4 MPLs + guass with 3 Ts ammo. Works very well but has no JJs.
If you want JJ capability, you can always fit the build to a TBR-S and drop 1 DHS (it's a very heat efficient build anyway).

[Vellron2005]

Its simple really... 2xLRM10, 2xSRM6 and 4xERML (TBR-S) or 3xERML (TBR-D), and as much heat sinks as will fit... does nice 500+ damage... but I still suck as a pilot, would do much more in more skilled hands..

As for the prime... 2xLRM20, 4xERML still works nice..

Basically, just dont use Large lasers, becouse they burn to long.. mediums and smalls are still ok.

LRM's = invalid build.

[SaltBeef]

CW .....LRMs not so good although I can get Kills with them in the Warhawk in CW. CW is Absolutely flooded with ECM and mechs stay in cover and just ridge and wall snipe a each other. Played the Vitric Forge Map for he 1st time the other Night. Best looking Map so far.

I tried a dual UAC5 with 3 ERMLs which wasn't bad. But autocannons aren't usually my thing so don't know how much I'll run it. Certainly did ok at keeping people's head down or pummeling someone who pops up around the corner.
