I don't give you a like for your build, but for your overwhelmingly true statement about PGI's practices. It sums up my thought exactly. Good to see I'm not the only one still pissed about the nerfing.

Frankly, I don't think many people liked the method of the nerf. It was the wrong change to make to the Crow, the wrong change to make to the Wolf, and frankly didn't affect either of them as much as it was intended to in the way it was intended to either, so net result = failure.

I dont think this competition works as intended.

Your TBR has Long-Toms guns,
an aerotech hangar and transforms into a dropship?

You would still have zero chance of winning
if you have posted that build two hours or later after the anouncement.

Because no one will read 16 pages of Mech builds before voting.

Thats why all the winners are on page 1.

....this is an issue, yes.

Kind of a different configuration, focuses on direct weapons and sould be good for close and mid-range fighting.

Our main task is to create a machine that will be able to use beginners in CW and in Classic games.

At the moment, we have the following problems :
1. In most CW maps battles take place in the middle - low range, same applies to the Most of Classic maps
2. LRM boats newcomers holed up in the rear until the end of the ammunition that is not conducive to team play and increases the level of beginners
3. Current debuffs on TBW chassis hardly affect short-range lasers , but that affects the rest of laser weapons.

Since all of these reasons suggest the following configuration option :
TBR-C

Groups of weapons :
1. UAC20
2. 5x Spls
3. Er Med Las

Why are there so many people making builds with lopsided jump jets in the torsos? Such a build is heretic, lol.. you may be able to configure that omnipod combination (for now), but I don't think PGI will ever go for such ugly loadouts, even if a bunch of players like them. I would suggest either using both S variant side torsos or neither, when making builds for this competition.

If players load jump jets asymmetrically, they shouldn't be able to use the jump jets. i.e. every side torso JJ that does not have a matching partner installed in the opposite side torso SIMPLY should not work. Same should go for leg JJs too. Realistically, the game should just not let you drop in such an unbalanced mech, and it should give you a similar warning as to when you don't have enough heat sinks for your engine.

EDIT:

For example, here is a fixed version of the variant posted above:

Alex's TBR-C (fixed)

By moving the RT C-SPL to the LA and flipping the RT and LA back to the C variant, you can equip an extra ton of UAC-20 ammo and one additional heat sink for 5% better cooling. This build is much better optimized to fit the roles intended by original poster. The jump jets in his case were dead weight, as he had no original purpose to include them (i.e. for a more "maneuverable" mech). The JJs would also have a big effect on the heat dissipation of the mech, when considering the fact that it's a build meant for new player (and it has one less heat sink than my improvement). I could imagine the frequency would be high that many new players would accidentally overheat firing their weapons and JJs at the same time, while using the original poster's build. New players are going to overheat regardless, so it might as well be overheating while firing weapons, and not overheating while jumping and firing weapons.

TBR-S

Something nice and simple with 2 weapon groups, LPL and ASRM6. Ammo is a bit thin at 2 tons but the LPL will the primary weapons most of the time until range closes up. The tag and cAP support the ASRM6 and the rest of the team but can be easily ignored by the new player without much trouble.
JJ add mobility and staying with the standard S chassis gives the most customizability options in the future should they buy the chassis.

When hunting with the Timberwolf I still find myself in this slightly altered C Variant:

Only minimal negative quirks on the laser, and max quirks for arm/torso movement. Runs cool and has a nice mixture of weapons to test. Also jump-capable

TBR-C/D
ER Small Laser (x6)
ER PPC (x2)

An ER PPC on the high left torso mount and one directly below on the arm gives a good balance between poking and flailing around while trying to pop off a shot...and 6 small lasers because pew pew!

Well - It seems to be a good all-around config. Enjoy.
