I can honestly say I didn't enjoy the TDK until I put in small pulses, then it was all giggles, I imagine the small laser isn't far behind.

No adding tubes snt a hardpoint change, and there are no tube limits anymore. Its always the same as the weapon you have equipped after the recent update, hell even LRM20s work.

Works, yes. Looks good, no:



(actually, that's 2xLRM-10, but at least it's 20 tubes - or actually 22; observe he two plugged tubes on the outer SRM-6 geos)

Best of both worlds: same alpha as 4xML, retains some poking ability, runs cool. No FF because the only thing you could do with it is strip the head armor and add one more heat sink, which isn't necessary at all over 40% eff. Or you could do this, which is one point short of the absolute most firepower you can cram into a reasonably armored, full speed TDK (and let's be honest, an extra 11kph from 240 vs 225 is a way bigger advantage than a measly one or two more points of damage from a 4th MPL).

Smalls, on the other hand... well, unless you just want all the support hardware that badly, there's just no reason to take that little firepower out of the hangar.

Commando Mad Science: doing mad things mad fast.

^^ Hmmm all those pulses look fun, i always use Ferro and an XL 235 nowa days to get the full 7 tons, which comes in quite useful.
I would actually take an AMS on the pulse build rather than a DHS, because like the immersion and sound of it going off right next to the cockpit, and f you have thermal vision engaged it has a really cool muzzle flash u can see.

I've given up AMS and switched to Radar Derp. I figure going this fast, I should be able to get to cover when needed. Also, it's nice to screw with the ECM crowd .

Ya radar derp is a must, but have you tried hill climb as your second module? I wont leave the lab without it on a Commando makes up for not having JJs, basically allows you to run up walls, very useful on canyon network and various other maps.

[WrathOfDeadguy]

Hill Climb is good, but Seismic helps you avoid blundering into instant death. Target Info Gathering helps reduce your time-on-target, which also increases your survivability.

If you're running max engine, you basically don't need Radar Dep because you're fast enough to either get to cover before the missiles arrive... or just straight up dodge the missiles until you lose the lock.

[DONTOR]

True on most accounts, but Seismic means you have to be standing still which is the exact opposite of proper Commando piloting.

Had this game today with 1 LL + 2MLs pretty effective build.


Also Ultra Commando is here to eat ur babies!

[The Mech behind you]

Wait, wait, wait... the 1B with the LL + 2ML setup is a thing now? I run this since Dec. 2012. It was always my fav Commando but everytime I said this people reacted like I were high or something.

[DONTOR]

^^ ya the guy that placed first in the last Commando leader board event was using it also, not to mention the quirks actually favor it.

[ShinVector]

I am trying and kinda like the 3 MLs build so, far...

Like going a round being a **** and pissing people off.

DONTOR, on 15 July 2015 - 02:18 PM, said:

Ya but you only get 2..., and I have a Spider 5V for that, and that has even better MPL quirks.

Yeah, but no SRM slots.

Ya, but since that one has 2 missile slots i like to make the most of them and have energy weapons be my second priority. I just stick with 2 MLs and as much SRM as I can pack on there.

Always, never forget to remember that commandos do not stop, reverse, stop, and go forward again, as fast as a locust. This is especially important when standing behind an enemy assault.

Show me on the Commando doll where the DW touched you

removal of the 10 hs requirement is what the ammo dependant commando really needs
